I initially reached out to Clara to help with my training and lose weight. What I received was SO much more! The best 11 months coaching and a whole new mindset. I can’t begin to express just how amazing Clara’s work is. The psychological work we have done has really changed my life. The work we done around Values was a game changer for me, and is now an every day tool I will continue to use. Would recommend to EVERYONE who’s looking to work on themselves. Invaluable life lessons are to be had!

I reached to Clara in September of 2022 with the main goal of dropping weight to 1) compete in a lower weight class in jiu jitsu, and 2) to just feel better about myself and be a bit more ‘in-shape’. Within a few months, Clara had helped make me into a new person. Not just with how much weight I was dropping and able to keep off and how much muscle I was putting on, but with the habits I was able to pick up and maintain. I had gone from walking around at ~87kg in 2022 to competing in March 2023 at sub 77kg – and I was much stronger and felt incredibly healthy. I was able to then maintain that weight through to the next competition in July and have maintained that since. And while I had initially found Clara to be my virtual weight-loss coach, as our sessions progressed Clara and I leaned into the psychological aspect of my training. We worked on a number of exercises around values, mindset, habits, and more, which become the foundation of how I approached my training and helped me greatly as I approached competition. It was Clara’s ability to not only be my weights and nutrition coach, but also my exercise-psychologist, that helped me set and reach my goals to the degree I was able to. As someone who has competed in sports and gone to the gym for years, working with Clara made me realize just how important the psychological aspect of my training is, and it’s left an incredible impact on how I approach the gym, sport, and my life in general.

From a mental performance standpoint, I’ve never been more clear on where I need improvement and where I’m strong. I’ve had similar processes before but always left feeling unheard, frustrated, lost and drained. With Clara, I’ve left every conversation with clear guidelines on what I need to do moving forward. To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. She’s fully engaged with me which shows a huge level of care. This isn’t a 1 size fits all approach. She’s listening, asking the real questions and making sure I’m implementing out with our sessions.

Clara was recommended to me by my coach, we had posing lessons online and she really helped me nail the fundamentals. She was very patient, communicated well and I can’t fault her posing teaching approach!

I worked with Clara after the 1st lockdown. I was a busy student nurse in my final year during a pandemic. I lost my love for training. Gained a lot of weight and lost all self confidence. I was in a rut and probably a bit depressed. I was wanted in the direction of Clara and she was like a breath of fresh air. Her training was completely different from what I was used too. Her tips on helping me getting in my food whilst on placement, working and studying saved me from running myself into the ground. I admitted I couldn’t train the way I used too (5/6 times per week) so we aimed for 3. She helped my find my confidence and my love for training again. She always helped me with positive attitude and never failed to give me a kick up the a**e when I was being too hard on myself. Fast forward 2.5 years and I still use her training plan and eat her suggested foods! I can’t recommend Clara enough. Her knowledge is outstanding, her positive attitude is addictive. She’s a realist and understands that sometimes life and other commitments can get in the way. I was in a really deep dark whole and she gave me the ladder to get back out of it. For that I’ll be forever grateful ?

As a Personal Trainer myself at the time, I knew how important accountability was when trying to achieve a goal. I was looking to lose some body fat for my wedding. Clara helped me stay accountable and took the thought process out of my own training. This was great because it was no longer up to me which exercises I included (I’m bad for skipping ones I don’t enjoy as much). My calories and macros were worked out for me and I achieved fantastic results working alongside Clara. I wanted to achieve the goal for myself but having a coach that you don’t want to let down when they have put in so much effort into your training programme is a huge motivator. When I was a coach myself it was frustrating seeing clients not do what you’ve asked when you’ve put in the effort and then they wonder why they weren’t getting results. While training with Clara, that was always in the back of my mind. She smashed it ?

After the first lockdown I decided to take part in the “8 week elite physique” challenge that VW Physique (now Prep Coach UK) were running, and Clara was my coach! She really helped me to loose the weight I had put on during the first lockdown! After the 8 weeks I stayed on and Clara became my coach. She helped me with workouts when the second lockdown came and kept me accountable. Clara was always available and would reply within a day. She’s very knowledgeable and she also helped me get in a better routine with eating, sleeping, gym and general life.

I chose to work with Clara when I decided I didn’t want to let food rule my life any more. For years I struggled with eating disorders, they controlled the way I lived, I had enough. I chose Clara as my coach as I love the way she coaches, encouraging heathy habits towards training and nutrition. She helped me so much with prioritising my goals and understood I was looking for a lifestyle change. We worked on rebuilding a relationship with nutrition and exercise, after years of guilt towards both. It was so refreshing to have the support I needed to open up about previous struggles and not made to feel guilty when sometimes old habits would slip out. Clara was amazing to work with and I’m so grateful for the foundation blocks she helped me build to live a happier, healthier life, where restriction and training from guilt are no longer my motivation. Thanks to her knowledge, guidance and kindness, I have the healthiest habits I’ve had in years. I don’t know if I would ever of come this far without her and I’m thankful for that. Clara not only saved my life, she changed me mentally and physically, she saved me when I thought I couldn’t be saved, she saved me when I thought that was it. She saved me when I thought I had to give up. She’s the best thing to ever have happened to me.
