"125lbs lighter, with a new mindset and habits I know I will keep"
"As my journey with you ends and I look back, I will always be grateful to you for your support, your wisdom & kindness, the knowledge I have gained and for the encouragement you have given me.
I didn't want to get to 70 being overweight and not getting the best from life… here I am at 72 (& 7 months) 125 pounds lighter….. that's an entire person less to carry around!
Walking an average of 14,000 steps every day, doing resistance workouts at least 3 times weekly and down from a size 24/26 to a size 12 (even one size 10!). None of this will change,
I will go forward with a new mindset and great habits where food is not the enemy, knowing that my body deserves the best nutrition I can give it, it does amazing things for me!
You always say I did it myself but I could not have achieved this without you! An absolute inspiration. Thank you just doesn't cover it!" ️️️️

"I cannot thank Hayley enough for helping me to change my life"
"Where do I start… I cannot thank Hayley enough for helping me to change my life.
I have struggled with my weight and eating habits for my entire life and now at 31 I can finally say I am in control. I have lost over 20kgs! Hayley has helped me to live a balanced life that allows me to enjoy myself as well as making good choices.
My mindset and habits have totally changed and I think about food totally different now. Hayley did a great job of creating a personal plan to suit me, she got to know me and understand what would help me the most.
I would go back and choose Hayley every time. I highly recommend Hayley. If you’re looking for support to make that change, Hayley is the one to help!" ️️️️

"I have lost 3 stone and learnt so much about habits and mindset"
"I started working with Hayley after many years of trying, and failing, to lose weight on my own through various different diets. I often felt like there was something wrong with me for knowing that I needed to essentially eat less and exercise more, but never being able to follow through with actually doing it.
With Hayley’s excellent guidance and support I have not only lost 3 stone but, much more importantly to me now than the number on the scale, I have learned so much about habits and mindset. I now look at food as something to be enjoyed rather than something I can or can’t have because it’s ‘good’ or ‘bad’. I also now know that consistency is far more important than perfection, and that a bar of unplanned chocolate will not ruin my entire day.
At the same time as working on my mindset around food, I have been able to build up my running and supplement it with the excellent home and gym workouts that Hayley provides. These are set at just the right level, with it not feeling so hard that I never want to do it again but challenging enough to get the satisfaction of seeing real progress over time.
I highly recommend Hayley as someone who is incredibly patient, supportive, and a pleasure to work with to achieve your goals through long lasting change."

"I'm 25lbs down with a better relationship with food, and no longer have high cholesterol"
"I really appreciate everything I have learned in the 6 months we've worked together. I feel confident about managing my health going forward and have the tools I need to make changes as needed.
I'm so excited to have lost 25 pounds and a total of 22 inches! My big win was finding out my cholesterol lowered by 60 points and I am completely within a healthy range for the first time in years.
My aches and pains have disappeared and my energy levels are where they were 15 years ago. My mindset on food and exercise has completely changed, and I don't feel at war with food, or myself, anymore- a peace which is reflected in a more positive attitude overall. Thank you for all of your support and motivation!"

"Hayley has helped me reset my mindset around food and get onto a healthy lifelong path"
"I met Hayley in January last year and we have worked together for a year. I had been searching for a sensible coach for a while but I struggled to find someone who understood nutrition and movement, who wasn't giving 'fad' 'expert' advice. Hayley was a breath of fresh air, she helped me reset my mindset around food and helped me discard the noise from so many fad diets I have tried.
She helped me understand that I wanted a long-term sustainable way of life rather than yo-yoing between 'good' and 'bad'. That meant self-care as well as hard work and she coached me to achieve the goals I wanted.
She helped me identify 'grey area drinking' something I didn't even know existed and helped me find the path I wanted to take, which has been life-changing. She modified my exercises to take into account my many injuries and I've now got an established permanent movement routine.
Hayley is a one off, she listens, she has a wealth of experience and is an expert coach. She has helped me get onto a healthy lifelong path and has happily waved me on my way as I can now sustain my lifestyle on my own with the toolkit she has helped me build. I can't recommend her highly enough, she has changed my life forever."

"I am in a much better place mentally as well as physically than I ever have been."
"Over the years I have done most diets. Weight watchers, slimming world, Cambridge diet, Atkins, Stockholm diet, Keto, fasting diets. I can’t remember the half of them.
By Summer 2023 I was struggling with my weight and relationship with food, and found Hayley's website. Since starting online coaching, I have a better relationship with food. No food is off limits now. I can bring any foods into my house now without the fear of overeating or binging on them.
The weekly check ins are invaluable to go over struggles that you may have encountered over the week. Also having Hayley looking over my food diary to give me little pointers as to what I can do to improve my nutrition really helped.
And the fitness app that we use for our workouts - seeing progress with weights and reps going up is a massive boost. It's great to see how far I have progressed, and I have done the majority of my exercise at home and not in a gym. I also love the monthly recipe’s and listening to Hayley’s podcasts.
Speak to Hayley if you are struggling. In the past 12 weeks I have lost 21lbs, 20cm from my waist, dropped a dress size, and got fitter and stronger. My relationship with food is so much better. I am in a much better place mentally as well as physically than I ever have been."

"Coaching has been a lifeline for me"
"I'd just like to really thank you for all your support. You really are an excellent coach and have developed such an amazing supportive community. To be honest it's hard letting go of someone in your corner but this feels like the right time. I have found another community to step into and I will progress from here, I'm confident of that. I feel a bit emotional writing this.
You will never know how much of a lifeline you have been to me in the darkest times of my life. Self care takes many forms and you always encouraged that. Thank you for being part of my journey, showing me that I am capable of making changes, believing in me and never giving up. Please use any or all of my feedbacks as a testimonial. I highly recommend you! :)."

"3 stone down and a much healthier relationship with food"
“I had spent decades losing and regaining the same weight. At 50 years old, I was very overweight, unhealthy and very unhappy about it all. I knew I couldn’t continue the same cycle of restriction, loss and inevitable gain. I had tried every diet going and wanted to find a different approach and to stop dieting.
Online Coaching with Hayley was where I turned, and I have learned so much from it. The fundamental thing Hayley helped me change was my mindset and my ‘all or nothing’ thinking. Hayley gave me feedback on my food and activity diary which helped me make small but accumulative improvements. She has expert knowledge of nutrition and fitness – especially regarding perimenopause – and translates this into doable actions.
I no longer see food as good or bad – I now have a much healthier relationship with my body and food. Having lost over 3 stone and 3 dress sizes over the last 8 months, online coaching has given me so much more confidence in the new stronger, healthier me.
I cannot recommend Hayley highly enough. She is amazingly kind, a wonderful cheerleader, and helped me turn a bad day or an overeating episode into an opportunity to learn, and still keep moving towards the future me! If you are thinking of working with Hayley, please do it; you will not regret it!”

"Coaching with Hayley has transformed my relationship with food and mindset towards nutrition"
“Hayley is such a fantastic coach. She has completely transformed my relationship with food and my overall mindset towards nutrition. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly competent, demonstrating a deep understanding of nutritional science and fitness.
Her extensive knowledge has helped me better understand how my body works in relation to food and exercise, making it easier for me to make informed choices that benefit my health.
What truly sets Hayley apart though is her compassion and non-judgmental approach. She creates a safe, supportive environment where I feel comfortable sharing my struggles and wins. Her empathetic nature and genuine care for my well-being have made all the difference in my journey.
With her support, I have not only improved my nutrition and lost 1 stone in weight, but also gained a more positive and balanced outlook on food. If you're looking for a coach who is knowledgeable, compassionate and truly invested in your success, I highly recommend Hayley. She really is exceptional at what she does."

"I've lost weight without dieting and built a healthy relationship with food"
“For years I struggled to have a healthy relationship with food. I exercised and followed diets every now and then. My BMI was in the normal range, but I wanted to work with Hayley to change the relationship I had with food and be comfortable around food. I did the three months programme with her. She went through everything I ate in a week and gave a comprehensive feedback.
She taught me how to lose weight without dieting and how to have a healthy relationship with food. I listened to her podcasts and followed her on Instagram as well. She always encouraged me to do strengthening exercises and use weights. If I had any questions I could text her anytime. She is very friendly. I have learned a lot from her, and I highly recommend her to anyone, not only to people who want to lose weight also to anyone who would like to have a healthy relationship with food."

"I have learnt so much about good habits, nutrition and fitness"
"Before working with Hayley, I would try these crazy diets that I just couldn’t stick to, my weight would fluctuate and I would feel guilty after over indulging. However Hayley has massively helped me to overcome that.
I found the support super helpful, and have learnt so much about good habits and nutrition and fitness. Hayley has taught me to find the positives out of my week, and to not dwell on the negatives.
This was a game changer for me, and I feel a lot happier within myself for it. I have learned a lot about the kind of foods and meals that work well for me on my fat loss journey.
Hayley has been a great motivation when it comes to exercise as well, I stuck to her plans and found I was getting stronger each week. This has been the longest that I have been consistently active. Previously, I would have stopped eating well and exercising after about 1 month but I have managed to stay consistent for 4 months now.
Without Hayley I don’t think I would be where I am now… I lost 1st in 3 months and have noticed significant differences in my body and my mindset. Thank you Hayley!"

"If you’re thinking of working with Hayley, then do!"
For years I had been vowing that this would be the one where I got back into all my Winter/Summer clothes and somehow another year went by without it happening.
In Autumn last year, I finally contacted Hayley to make enquiries but unbelievably, still didn’t sign up. However, even at that first stage, Hayley demonstrated how supportive and encouraging she is. She applied zero pressure on me to commit to anything but sign-posted me to lots of free resources and her brilliant Podcast.
She encouraged, held me accountable but also helped me to discover what was the best way to eat and move for me – it’s not a one-size-fit-all approach. The weekly check-ins and reflections made all the difference, and I found myself really looking forward to that weekly half hour to keep me on track and make progress.
Somehow the three months just flew by, and I now fit into all my old clothes again which has really bought me a lot of happiness; the joy of opening my wardrobe and thinking ‘what do I fancy wearing?’ rather than ‘What can I squeeze into?’ really makes for a great start to the day.
However, the biggest surprise has been the change to my overall well-being and energy levels. Before I started with Hayley, I thought these were just fine, I was already quite sporty and not especially overweight. However, this is the best I have ever felt since having children nearly 17 years ago and I’m just getting so much more done.
If you’re like I was and keep reading these reviews thinking you’d like to sign up but feeling you have a family and can’t justify the money, or that if you just try a little bit harder or try another new eating plan you can do it this time, then all I can say is, don’t waste another year of your life – just sign up. Working with Hayley is an investment that you and your whole family will benefit from.
I feel like I’m setting a really good example to my teenage daughter, I have the energy when I get in from work to be present with my children and I’ve even picked up some old hobbies. And of course, it is a LOT cheaper than replacing your wardrobe. Thank you, Hayley!

"Coaching from Hayley was one of the best decisions I've ever made."
I've been losing and then gaining weight for many years now and I was exhausted and needed help stopping that cycle. Hayley taught me a lot about food composition, the impact on my body and how to navigate eating out without feeling like I'd lost control.
I no longer see food as good or bad, or starve myself during the week so I can eat out at the weekends. I feel great and for the first time in my 40 years, I feel in control of my body.
Carie
"I think I can safely say Hayley has changed my life."
"After being concerned about eating healthily for my age (I turned 60 this year) and wanting to lose about half a stone, I signed up with Hayley just before Christmas (I know!!) 2021.
I think I can safely say Hayley has changed my life.
I'm feeling quite good about my fitness, strength and my body shape now, and did manage to lose that half a stone too!
Highly recommended!"

"It is such a gift to be at peace in my mind with food"
“I started with Hayley at the beginning of February 2022. My goal was to not be controlled by emotional eating, lose weight and be fitter. I felt a bit lost on what food was good for my body. I felt my body had changed since going into my 40s and the perimenopause.
Due to the guidance Hayley has given me to provide me with a balanced, nutritious diet, I am no longer hungry in between meals. So, the pull to eat chocolate because I am hungry is no longer there. I used to also eat chocolate and sugary snacks after a difficult session with a client (I am a counsellor), or something else had upset me.
My mind told me that ‘I deserve a treat, to reward or cheer myself up’. My mind no longer thinks like that. I had a difficult session the other day, and I had a fruit tea, then went back to work. I didn’t even think about having a ‘reward treat’. Chocolate now sits in the cupboard, like any other food item.
Previously going on diets, I would have binge ate all the ‘bad’ foods, before starting on my diet. This is no longer the case. No food is off limits. It is instead, deciding 'do I want to eat it' and if so, plan it into my day. It is about consistency each day, and I have not ‘blown it’ if I have a day, I eat a lot of food that are high in calories.
It is such a gift to be at peace in my mind over food, after years of ‘on and off’ dieting. In the 3 months I have lost 8lbs, and enjoying a stronger, fitter body that will carry me into my 50s!”

"49lbs down, and enjoying the foods I love guilt-free"
I have been working with Hayley since March 2021 after many years of yoyo dieting.
When I found Hayley’s website, it really spoke to me. I could see that here was someone who would understand the concerns of a 49-year old woman – aging, approaching menopause, busy life with teenage children, work and too many commitments.
Some of the best aspects of the journey: discovering mindful eating, not trying to be perfect, the support and encouragement in the Facebook group, enjoying food without feeling guilty, and making exercise and getting fit a pleasure, not a chore.
The weekly check-ins have been so helpful, with feedback on my week tailored specifically to me.
Since starting to work with Hayley in March, I have lost 49lbs and reached my goal weight for the first time. I have shifted the way I eat for the better, and walk more than ever before.
But most importantly, I allow myself to eat some of the higher calorie, less nutritious foods and it does not mean that my healthy eating is over.
I choose when to have some delicious cake, and the next meal I make a less sugar filled choice and continue. I don’t let it derail me. This is why I truly believe that I have lost the weight properly and sustainably.
One of my goals when I started was to be able to tuck in my tops into my trousers. I always tuck my tops in now for the first time in my life, and I feel confident doing it!
Thank you, Hayley, for all your support.

"Working with Hayley was a wonderful and rewarding experience, and I'm so glad that I decided to do this for myself!"
Over the last five months, I have achieved my goals of losing weight (12 pounds and 3.5 inches around my midsection) while gaining strength, and so much more. I was fortunate to have a lot of equipment at home but was totally new to strength training.
I have not only gained strength but also a lot of knowledge and confidence, and really look forward to my three strength training sessions each week. I am now doing exercises that I never thought I would be able to do and am lifting more weight than I ever imagined (e.g. barbell sumo deadlifts with over 100 lbs and full push ups for the first time ever!), and am continuing to make progress every week.
Hayley encouraged me to walk daily, which I love to do while listening to a podcast (another thing that she introduced me to!). I gained a much better understanding of calories and the importance of eating enough protein but have not felt restricted nutrition wise and still enjoy the same treats.
I feel stronger and much happier with my body (and in general!), and know that I will continue to stick with the sensible and sustainable habits that Hayley helped me develop for the rest of my life."
Kate
"I have lost 60lbs so far and can honestly say it has been without deprivation or a painful exercise regime (my previous default system)."
Life is so much better after learning not to use food as an emotional crutch.
I've just achieved my goal holiday of 6 days of walking in the fabulous Lake District. Around 180,000 steps completed and me and the dogs have been up pretty high.
Sharon
"From start to finish the coaching with Hayley has been one of the best things I've done! Her support & encouragement throughout has been amazing. Such a positive experience which resulted in me reaching my goal weight loss.
I want to thank Hayley for her support, for listening to me waffle on during our zoom calls, for all the helpful suggestions not only about food choices but about mindset, podcasts to listen to, books to read - it's definitely given me tools to use going forward.
Amanda
Working with Hayley has absolutely turned my life around. I asked her for accountability and I got that in spades with regular check-ins and ongoing review of my food and exercise diary.
“She never judged me and when I had a few difficult days over Christmas she helped me see this was not a complete disaster, merely a temporary blip.
I have lost 28lbs, dropped 2 dress sizes, and found my own way through Hayley's guidance. Now I feel confident enough to continue with the tools and knowledge I've gained. I cannot recommend too highly partnering up with her!"
Michele
For the last 10 years I've wasted time and money doing fad diets, doing well short term but then as soon as I went slightly off plan, gained the weight back, plus a bit more, and came away learning nothing.
“Then I found Hayley and it all changed! She gives you the knowledge and tools you need for sustainable weight loss.
I am halfway through my journey and have lost just over 2 stone.
I am a mother of a young child and I have two chronic illnesses but this wasn't an issue as Hayley supported me and understood my challenges.
I want anyone considering working with Hayley to just do it because it IS possible to lose weight, get healthy, be happy AND still enjoy chocolate!”
Kat
It’s made such an incredible difference & I’m building long-term healthy habits
"I started online coaching with Hayley in January 2019. I was really keen to get fit, get stronger and lose weight, but I also wanted it to be sustainable.
I’m a busy mum, but I set my alarm (in case the children aren’t up!) for 6 and get a home session in before the day kicks off, it sets me up for the day & has become a routine.
Hayley’s advice and support is fabulous. I don’t think I’m dieting or depriving myself of anything. Being able to make good nutrition and exercise choices has really changed my thinking and keeping the consistency going.
I am really enjoying the journey and feeling as fit as I am. Seeing these photos a year apart is really motivating too.
I’d like to say a huge thank you to Hayley, it’s made such an incredible difference & I’m building long-term healthy habits.
Rachel
I’m full of energy, enjoy life to the full, and no back pain!
"In January 2019 I felt that my weight made me like a disabled person. I was so limited physically, had back pain, and didn’t like myself. I followed Hayley but put off getting help from her because I couldn’t cope with having a photo taken!
Having yo-yo dieted all my life Hayley’s way took some getting used too, now it’s my way of life. I plan my week, specially any difficult days. I eat delicious colourful meals, enjoy things I used to think of as “bad” occasionally with no guilt. Not complicated but with support it really helps. I needed to be accountable, but I also love the encouragement and advice whenever I need it.
I still have lots to lose but I love this journey, it’s changed my life. I walk early every morning & love it. I can exercise, I’m full of energy, enjoy life to the full, and no back pain! I have confidence & joy in life. So many adventures to be had in 2020.
Gill
I'm 50lbs down!
50lbs down, 50 to go… but feeling amazing! Who knew that just planning your food in advance could make such a difference – such a simple thing to do and I can honestly say it is the route to my success so far.
Katie
I have lost 4 stone
"Doing CFL with Hayley has been completely life changing and is without a doubt the best thing I have ever done for myself. I have lost 4 stone and am at my initial target size 14 from a size 20 and still happily on the plan.
The most important thing for me, and what makes me most proud is that I have given my daughters the best chance of having a more healthy relationship with food than I have had.
Food now has its correct place in my life. I understand nutrition, how to balance what I eat and how much I do and when I have a treat it tastes better than ever because there’s no shame and no guilt, just well deserved, delicious pleasure without the fear that I won’t be able to stop.
I WANT to eat well, to feel good and be healthy. I don’t want the way I eat to affect my health or the enjoyment (or length!!) of my life any more.
I am proud of myself and who I am now – I can wear the sorts of clothes I like, not just what covers me up.
I will try things and do things with my daughters I would have been too self-conscious to do last year.
I stand in for a photo and actually smile and don’t dread seeing what I look like.
No matter how much you’ve struggled, if you want to make a change and commit to it – you can do it, trust me."
