coaching reviews

I love seeing the transformation my clients make, even in a few short weeks, and celebrating their successes with them!

"Before coaching with Iona I was definitely stuck in a rut. I used to exercise regularly and eat what I considered a healthy diet, but following a very busy and stressful year, I had completely fallen out of those habits and was struggling to find the time and motivation. I was also experiencing perimenopausal symptoms which I wanted to address, but looking after myself had slipped down to the bottom of my to-do list. I was feeling stressed, anxious and low in mood, my confidence levels were dropping, and I was struggling with the huge mental load of family life.

Having completed the programme, I am sleeping better, have more energy and motivation, feel stronger and fitter already, my clothes fit so much better and my head is clearer. It's still early days, but my skin is definitely less oily and will hopefully continue to improve.

The coaching programme has benefited the whole family, but especially my husband. He is also eating better, exercising more and feeling healthier as a result. Working with Iona has been a very natural and cathartic process. Her guidance has enabled me to identify my priorities - and barriers - and take clear, manageable steps to achieve them. For example, we now plan meals and exercise every weekend for the week ahead. It enables me to ensure that our meals are interesting and nutritious and prioritise exercise and also decreases my mental load."

"Before the 4-week Reset Programme I was feeling stuck, I felt very sluggish and tired all the time and unhappy with where my fitness and weight were after having two kids. Since the Reset Programme, I have lost 2.5kgs but more excitingly I started running again. I have more energy for my kids and husband, I am less irritable and feel much better about myself. Working with Iona was a wonderful experience. She taught me so much and always made me feel comfortable and proud of myself. She is a great listener and focuses on ways to help you that suit you."

"I have worked with Iona for 4 weekly sessions and it has been revolutionary. I was completely stuck in a rut with bad anxiety ruling my life. Iona has helped me to put tools in place to manage my anxiety and reduce the chances of anxiety attacks occurring. She enabled me to find fun in my life again. I found Iona a lovely person to work with, very supportive and without judgement. I would recommend Iona to anyone wanting to make positive changes to improve their health and happiness"

"Working with Iona was a game changer during my pregnancy. After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I was anxious about my health and my baby’s wellbeing. Iona helped me transform my mindset and approach to food and exercise. She showed me how to enjoy what I eat in moderation, swap out unhealthy options and make time for movement after meals, which improved my sugar readings. Thanks to her guidance I saw positive changes in my health and even my baby's measurements, which was really reassuring. Iona's support was invaluable, and the habits I developed during my pregnancy have continued to benefit me post-birth. I highly recommend her!"
