Menopause Coaching

This is a lifestyle change

Honesty is the best policy: I am not a 'quick-fix' or '8-week challenge' coach. We'll be working on nutrition education, mindset shifts, and consistent movement, which all require time to become second nature. Think of this as a lifestyle shift, not a temporary project.

Rachel has taught me elements of different exercises that I never even spared a thought for. I now understand the importance of setting your body up for different exercises, why taking it slow is much better and also...not to drop the oranges from your armpits #IYKYK 😂 I shall be back!

Rachel has been the perfect instructor - she has worked hard and been so successful on getting me to where I never thought I would be. She has been a solid supporter and has encouraged me to work hard and reap the rewards. She has a great sense of humour and her personality shines through - well done Rach, I always look forward to even the hardest sessions.
