Real women. Real results.

Working with Claire has given me the support, structure, and encouragement I needed to keep going. I now have more energy, I don't like missing my workouts, and I feel stronger, more confident, and excited to keep progressing.

The biggest changes have been the ones that sneak up on me: clothes fitting differently, running up the stairs, or realising I can do things I couldn't do before. Investing in yourself is worth it.

It also helped me take leaps forward with my relationship with food by addressing lots of the all or nothing thinking, negative thought patterns and the shame and guilt I often associated with food.

Claire was always available to message or voice note and we had a video call once a month. These regular check ins made me feel really supported and accountable. Claire was always interested in what was going on in my life and factored that in, like when I had big deadlines and exams at the end of my MSc, or when work was very busy.

Working with Claire also enabled me to make a massive life change: it helped me to have a baby. I had unsuccessfully been trying to lose over 30lbs before I met Claire in order to qualify for a round of NHS IVF. Claire's clear, structured and empathetic approach finally helped me to lose this weight and build really strong habit foundations. I happily continued strength training, swimming and walking throughout my pregnancy up until a couple of days before my baby was born.

I didn't think that I would be able to lose weight in such a non drastic way, or that my habits would become so ingrained, or that my toxic relationship with my body and food could be changed so drastically. The shift in how I relate to food and my body carried me through some of the biggest moments of my life.

If you are wondering whether to work with Claire, I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Over nine months she lost almost 32lbs, then maintained and kept changing her shape for three more. But the weight loss isn't my favourite part of her story. She didn't put her life on hold to get there. She navigated Christmas, work trips, holidays, meals out and wedding planning, with no harsh restriction and no cutting out everything she enjoyed.

We built habits around food and movement she genuinely enjoyed and could see herself keeping long after the wedding. That's exactly what's happened. The wedding might have been the reason she started, but it isn't the reason she's continuing. As she put it: "I'm never going back." Not because she's scared of regaining the weight, but because she loves how she feels now.

Through The Habit Base, I learned this wasn't just about food or workouts. The biggest change has been understanding my habits, my mindset, and why I was making certain choices in the first place. I've lost around 65–70lbs, but what I'm most proud of is becoming a completely different version of myself. I now feel strong, active, and confident, and movement has become something I genuinely enjoy.

This has also changed the way I show up for my three girls. They see me going to the gym, making different choices, and building a healthier lifestyle, and that means everything to me.

What made the biggest difference was that Claire didn't ask me to overhaul my life overnight. We started with small, realistic habits, and over time those habits became part of my lifestyle. I lost over a stone, built strength and confidence, improved my relationship with food, and learned how to make choices that support my goals without feeling restricted.

I went from doing strength workouts at home with a couple of dumbbells to completing my first Hyrox event, something I never thought I'd be capable of. If you're waiting for the perfect time to start, don't. Life will always be busy.

What changed most was learning how to create structure and routines that actually fit my life. With a busy job, planning my weeks, meals, and training has been life-changing. In the past, I could follow strict plans, but the moment that structure disappeared, I'd fall straight back into old habits.

Through coaching, I learned how to eat in a way that works long term, build confidence with strength training, and create routines I can genuinely maintain. Everything is tailored to my lifestyle, and that's why this time has finally felt sustainable.

Through The Habit Base, my relationship with exercise, food, and my body has completely changed. I've learned that movement doesn't need to be extreme to be effective. One of the biggest shifts has been learning to slow down, listen to my body, and focus on strength, rest, recovery, and consistency instead of perfection.

I now move because it makes me feel strong, energised, and mentally well, not because I feel I have to "earn" food.
