For women 35+ who are tired of feeling like a stranger in their own body.
You're bloated by mid-afternoon. The weight won't shift, however "good" you are.
You're running on caffeine and willpower, and you can't remember the last time you woke up feeling rested.
You've tried the plans. You've cut things out. And every time, you end up back where you started, wondering what you're doing wrong.
Or maybe your doctor has told you something needs to change, but "change your lifestyle" doesn't tell you what that looks like on a normal Tuesday.
You're not doing it wrong. You've just been looking at one piece of a much bigger picture.
It's not just what you eat
Bloating, stubborn weight, low energy and feeling "off" rarely come down to just food or exercise alone.
Your gut talks to your brain.
Stress affects your digestion.
Poor sleep drives cravings.
Your nervous system decides whether your body feels safe enough to let go of weight.
That's why I look at the whole of you, from gut to mind:
what you eat,
how you move,
how you sleep,
how you handle stress,
your confidence,
the patterns and emotions that are making change harder.
Where you are right now and where you want to be!
When we work on the whole picture, things finally start to shift.
Picture this…
You wake up with energy, ready for the day rather than reaching for coffee just to function.
You get dressed without that sinking feeling. Your jeans fit comfortably, and you catch yourself in the mirror and feel proud of your body again, not critical of it.
You finally know what works for your body and what doesn't. No more Googling, no more second-guessing, no more starting again on Monday.
You go out for dinner with friends and enjoy every bite, with no guilt, no discomfort and no feeling that you've "ruined everything."
At 3pm, you still have energy for your work, your family and yourself.
And when life gets stressful, as it will, you know how to look after your body instead of losing your way.
You don't just feel better. You feel confident, at home in your body and like you again, and you know how to stay that way.
How we work together
We understand. We start with you: your body, your life, your history and everything you've already tried. No guesswork, no generic plan.
We learn. You've probably heard a thousand things from Google, influencers and well-meaning friends, much of it conflicting, and none of it written for you. I'll help you understand what's actually happening in your body: why you're bloated, why your energy crashes, why the weight won't shift. When you understand the why, you stop second-guessing and start trusting yourself.
We rebalance. Small, realistic changes from the very start, built around your real life, including busy days, weekends and meals out.
We make it last. We uncover the patterns that have pulled you back before, so this time the changes become part of who you are.
Private 1:1 coaching over Zoom, so you can join from anywhere, from the comfort of home.
Support between sessions by WhatsApp and email, so you're never left waiting when life gets in the way.
Your personal progress record after every session, so you can see how far you've come.
Two programmes, running from 3 to 6 months, because lasting change needs time, not a quick fix.
Why lasting change takes time
A 2014 study published in Nature found that your gut starts responding to new foods within just a few days. That's how ready your body is to heal. But when old habits crept back, the gut shifted back just as quickly.
Research also shows a single new habit takes an average of 66 days to become automatic, and up to 8 months for some. And we're not changing one habit; we're gently rebuilding several for lasting change and healthier life.
That's why I run two programmes, each designed around how much support you need for change to truly stick.
What my clients say
“Catherine was excellent allowing total freedoms for me to share my concerns, progress and challenges. Catherine always made copious notes, she has an incredible memory for detail that supported the sessions, Catherines strong point (amongst many) was creating a realistic health journey focusing on the pillars to balance my journey.
The plan was relatable. Catherine listened intently, she is passionate about coaching, I would end the session on a high! Heath coaching plans were shared following the session which helped maintain focus and rhythm.
I cannot recommend Catherine highly enough, she is extremely profession, knowledgable about a wide range of health concerns and issues, she has the ability to quickly pull a plan that is completely tailored based on evidential case studies, research and experience. This includes her unique understanding to tailor coaching plans to adapt to diverse cultures for example my experience of Ayreveda principles and techniques.
Catherine is the kind of person you meet and instantly connect with; her energy is boundless; she deeply cares about her clients and provides a holistic plan tailored to help you not just survive but thrive!” - Harinder Thomas, age 62.
⎯⎯
“It has helped to meet Catherine on a weekly basis to achieve my goals and support my motivation to keep focused, it also helps with accountability as she discusses if I have achieved any of the goals discussed from the previous week. I have been doing so but I also know that if I had not then she would be gently guiding me to think about why I may not have done so, this is a very supportive approach. Catherine provided positive and non-judgemental feedback throughout the sessions. Her time keeping was also flexible which helped as I have a number of appointments and demands at this stage in my life.
Warm, compassionate and empathic. A safe space to share concerns and thoughts about what I have been going though, I have even suggested that she even consider becoming a counsellor. She also provides excellent resources, she is an exceptional coach and I would highly recommend her.” - Yvonne, age 56
Imagine going from…
"I feel uncomfortable in my own body" → "I feel at home in my body again"
“I don’t feel healthy anymore” → “I’m full of energy and thriving”
"I don't know what to eat anymore" → "I trust myself around food and I know what foods are right for me"
"I'm exhausted by 3pm" → "I have energy for my life again"
“I don’t feel confident anymore” → “My social life has improved because I feel comfortable in my own skin again”
"I always end up back where I started" → "This is just how I live now. My whole mindset has shifted"
The shift:
From:
“I'm worried I'll eventually end up back where I started.”
To:
“I understand what works for me, I know how to look after myself, and I feel confident continuing.”
If you've read this far, something has probably resonated. Let's talk about it.
Your free 25-minute Health Goals Call is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation about you:
what's been going on, what you've tried, and how you'd love to feel instead.
On the call, you'll:
• Finally say out loud everything that's been going on, to someone who truly listens
• Discover what could be keeping you stuck, whether that's your gut, stress, sleep or patterns you haven't noticed yet
• Leave with clear first steps, + personal notes from me afterwards, whether or not we work together going forward
No hard sell. No obligation. Just clarity, and the chance to feel heard.
I only take on a small number of 1:1 clients at a time, so spaces are limited.
Thrive Maintenance
When your coaching program comes to an end, you're still not alone.
One of the things clients consistently say makes the biggest difference is having someone dedicated to listening to them, understanding what they're going through and supporting them along the way.
That's exactly what Thrive Maintenance is there to continue.
You've already built a better understanding of your body, made positive changes and developed healthier habits. Now you'll have ongoing support to help you keep putting those changes into practice — without feeling like you're suddenly on your own.
Through montly check-ins, we'll talk about how you're getting on, celebrate your progress, work through anything you're struggling with and make adjustments when life or your circumstances change.
Your ongoing support:
Someone who already knows your journey
You don't have to explain everything from the beginning. We already know what's worked, what you've struggled with and what matters to you.
Support through real life
Busy periods, holidays, stressful weeks, changes in routine and dips in motivation happen. We'll work through them together rather than letting one difficult period undo your progress.
Continued progress
If you're still working towards wider health goals, we'll continue reviewing your progress and adjusting your focus as needed.
Thrive Maintenance gives you a regular space to talk, reflect, stay accountable and feel supported as you continue looking after your health.
Because sometimes knowing what to do isn't the difficult part — having someone beside you while you do it makes all the difference.
