What the clients told us!
• She viewed me a whole person and not the ‘bits’ that are wrong with
me. It was the six months intensive help, the whole approach, that
improved my quality of life. She guided me
• He helped me to look for the tiny things in my habits that I could
change that would together make a big difference to my diet and to
my ability to lose weight
 I am walking more, I go the long way round for my morning paper
and regularly walk much more, I am feeling better and it’s easier to
look after my wife
• She came with me to the gym, I can’t have seen me going before
but not I’m a little gym bunny, I go to the gym twice a week for an
hour and I go swimming twice a week
• It’s the friendliness that keeps you focused.
