LONG FORM TESTIMONIALS
Here are a handful of long form testimonials for my Signature Coaching Programme.
“I found Sally’s programme after finally realising I needed to change how I related to food in order to create lasting change. I had had short term success with various diets, 2 week challenges, calorie counting, etc but I struggled to make habits stick long term and my weight was stuck at a point I wasn’t happy with.
Working with Sally has changed my perspective on many things and helped me see that it is possible to create the body I want without being stuck on a sad boring diet for the rest of my life. I no longer obsess over food or crave snacks constantly. I feel calm and in control of my food choices and have no guilt about including all the foods I enjoy in my weekly plan.
I lost weight and my shape changed but I have gained so much more in self-belief and self love. I am kind to my body as it is now while still looking forward to my goals. My ability to be kind to myself and not let my emotions drive my eatings behaviours has been revolutionary.
Even falling pregnant halfway through the coaching programme has not thrown me “off the wagon” like I know it would have before!
I am confident this programme has taught me the tools I need to create the healthy body and lifestyle I want to enjoy for the rest of my life and I would recommend Sally & her coaching programme to anyone else who is fed up of the “diets” and wants to create real, sustainable and lasting change in their lives.

I sought help from Sally in desperation after gaining 8kgs in a year and realising I couldn't stop eating despite knowing I was full and was hurting myself with food.
I felt completely out of control and despite being a doctor, I didn't know how to help myself.
This was on the background of over-eating and yo-yo dieting over a period of decades.
Sally's programme provided the tools I needed to change the deep-seated thought processes that were keeping me trapped in this unhealthy pattern but most importantly, it gave me a practical structure for what (and how) to eat each day.
No weighing of food is needed and no food is forbidden; instead, you make a daily food plan and learn how to stick to it. I never felt denied.
The real difference though is that Sally supported me in working through the reasons for my over-eating and together we developed strategies to manage these urges.
I am well on my way to feeling true freedom around food and could not be happier with the results - almost 10kg weight loss in 3 months (without feeling hungry!).

“I had piled on weight in the last couple of years and my Jan 2024 resolution was to lose it. I had a go in Jan / Feb 24 and lost a few pounds but found it really tough going, not sustainable and I swiftly put the few pounds I had lost back on again.
I was looking for some guidance and support to facilitate my weight loss as my solo attempt had not produced the results I wanted. In March 2024 I was googling for diet support / nutritionist and found Sally's and I am so incredibly glad that I did.
I started with Sally on 16th April and 13 weeks later I had lost 1st 13 lbs (now 3 stone total), was back in a healthy BMI and have transformed my body shape, losing 16 cms from my waist and 13 cms from my hips!
I have achieved this weight loss while drinking wine / prosecco every week and with an occasional chocolate fix. I have never been overly hungry. Sally's mantra is that weight loss needs to be sustainable and enjoyable if it is to be permanent and my new found eating and drinking regime is just that.
I enjoy gorgeous meals which fill me up and eat a wide variety of foods.
I was initially very sceptical about the life coaching part, but as the weeks have gone on I've found the CBT side and thought work incredibly helpful and powerful in helping me achieve these results. I know I will easily sustain them moving forwards.
Sally is fabulous. Approachable, enthusiastic without being overbearing, hugely supportive and encouraging and comes with a wealth of nutritional info which I have really benefitted from. I have felt supported every step of the way by Sally and her brilliant resources.
I have already recommended Sally to a friend who is starting with her shortly and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who is wanting to lose weight, change their body shape and increase their energy levels and do all of this sustainably, enjoyably and permanently.”

I discovered Sally through an Instagram post by a chef I admire and was immediately interested - I never even knew this kind of coaching existed. In just a few weeks, Sally has changed my life. Her warm, empathetic yet no-nonsense coaching style, combined with consistent support and truly practical content, has made all the difference. Her openness, authenticity and willingness to share her own experience also instantly put me at ease.
Sally blends real life relatability with expert guidance and she has taught me a huge amount through her Signature Programme, but there is so much learning she provides outside the coaching sessions too - helpful worksheets, emails and deep dives into specific topics on her podcast.
Sally’s coaching has enabled me to gain a deeper understanding of myself, which has been incredibly valuable and enlightening, and I’ve been so surprised at how easy it has felt to get the results I have wanted, but hadn’t been able to achieve, for so many years. I have lost almost 10 kg so far, but the transformation is so much deeper. I’ve built new habits and mindsets that feel genuinely sustainable, kind and empowering, as well as transferable to other aspects of my life. I now have clarity, confidence and an entirely new relationship with food and my body.
This programme has given me a new way of life that feels joyful and full of possibility. It has also given me the tools I believe I needed (but didn’t know existed) to be a positive role model and ensure my baby daughter grows up to have a peaceful and loving relationship with food and her body.
Every woman who has ever struggled with body image, food or alcohol deserves Sally’s Signature Programme.

“I decided to work with Sally because I knew I needed support with my emotional eating. I’d tried so many things before, but nothing ever really addressed the why behind my habits. From the very beginning, working with Sally has felt so different, she’s incredibly down-to-earth and truly understands the emotional side of food.
What I’ve enjoyed the most is getting to the root of my eating patterns and finally understanding them. It’s been eye-opening to see how much diet culture had shaped the way I thought about food and my body.
What really surprised me is that I thought exploring emotional eating would mean slow progress, but I’ve actually lost 2 stone (28 lbs) in 3 months. More importantly, I’ve gained a totally new perspective. It’s like I’ve finally found the keys to unlock something I’ve struggled with for years. My relationship with food is healthier, and so is the way I speak to and treat myself.
I’d recommend working with Sally to anyone who’s ready to make lasting, positive changes in their eating habits and their life. It’s honestly been one of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself.”
Amber, 39
“Working with Sally has been an absolute game-changer in my weight loss journey. Before I started, I felt overwhelmed and stuck, unsure of how to make lasting changes.
From our very first session, Sally made me feel understood and supported. She took the time to really listen to my challenges and crafted a personalised protocol that fit my lifestyle.
What I appreciate most is Sally’s holistic approach. It isn’t about counting calories or following a strict workout routine. She helped me understand the importance of mindset, nutrition, and sustainable habits.
With Sally’s guidance, I was able to lose 20lbs (now 4 stone total) and, more importantly, maintain that loss. I also gained confidence, energy, and a healthier relationship with food.
Sally was always there with encouragement, practical advice, and the right level of accountability to keep me on track. Whenever I hit a plateau or faced a setback, Sally helped me navigate through it with positivity and a clear plan.
Thanks to Sally I have not only reached my weight loss goals but have also developed a new outlook on life. I’m healthier, happier, and more confident than I’ve ever been.
If you’re looking for a weight loss coach who truly cares and can help you achieve real, lasting results, I can’t recommend Sally enough.”
Kate, 41
“6 months ago I was in a real slump. I felt overweight, had lost confidence in myself when wearing clothes, felt jealous of friends around me were losing weight, and I thought to myself why aren’t I?
It got to a point where I was addicted to spending hours scrolling through countless Instagram videos desperately trying find answers in how to lose weight and couldn’t, it all got too much and I felt completely stuck.
Then I found Sally who literally saved me! As I write this I am stone lighter, fitting into jeans that I thought to myself ‘there is no way’ and being told by lots of friends, colleagues and family “you look great!”.
What I can safely say about working with Sally is that it isn’t a chore.
In her coaching sessions she guides through how to change your eating habits and sets you a clear path so that your goal can be achieved.
At the start of the process, I lost nearly half a stone in the first 10 days. I couldn’t believe it.
But what I noticed the most was how much better I felt.
Following the food protocol that Sally designs with wasn’t confusing — she gives you the tools on how to do it.
I am now so much more educated about food and what actually the body needs.
What also is so clever about Sally’s coaching is following your bespoke plan is sustainable — there is no mention of a diet, you are simply changing your relationship with food so that you are more in control.
Sally is always there if you need her and reminds you to be kind to yourself and trust the process. I did trust it and it has worked.
I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who feels stuck and needs some help on losing weight.
Working with Sally has been a life changing experience you won’t regret it.”
Alice, 39
“I came to Sally’s programme after seeing the incredible changes in my sister — not just in her body, but in how she was living and enjoying food in a balanced, mindful way. I’d spent years cycling through Slimming World, maintaining for a while, then gradually gaining weight again. I was stuck in that exhausting pattern of restriction and rebound, convinced that the only way to lose weight was through sheer discipline and willpower.
What I hadn’t realised was that my challenges with food weren’t really about food at all — they were emotional, ingrained, and tangled up in years of self-criticism. I honestly thought I was a lost cause, someone who’d always be “on a diet” or off the rails. But working with Sally changed everything.
In 12 weeks, I’ve lost 1 stone 2 pounds — but more importantly, I’ve gained a completely new mindset. I feel confident, consistent, and kind to myself. Sally has helped me reconnect with my love of food — not through restriction, but through curiosity and self-compassion. She’s taught me that true kindness is planning and fuelling myself for the life I want, not punishing myself for slipping up. I no longer criticise myself when things don’t go to plan — I reflect, I learn, and I move forward.
What surprised me most was how small daily shifts — checking in with myself, meal planning with intention, and asking why I was making certain choices — added up to such a big transformation. This isn’t a diet. It’s a way of living that I know I can sustain, even when life gets busy or hard.
I’d recommend Sally to anyone who feels stuck in that never-ending loop of dieting, especially if you know all the “rules” but still feel at war with food. She’s helped me realise that I already had everything I needed — I just needed someone to help me find it. I’m so grateful she did.”

“I started Sally's 12 week programme in September having been battling with myself over my eating habits, particularly through the summer, although I have struggled with my weight and yo-yo dieting all my life.
When I came to Sally I felt in a really bad place and totally out of control with my thinking and my habits. I was using food all the time to solve emotional issues, and felt hungry all the time. Sally was so kind and compassionate from the first time I spoke to her, and approached my situation in a totally non-judgemental way. I felt like her personal experience of also being a busy mum with young children meant that she really understood my perspective.
Sally was very clear in her approach and helped me to build a food and drinks protocol, which included foods I enjoyed eating. There were no foods to be considered off limits.
I soon realised that I was enjoying food so much more, and eating lots of wonderful things, and mealtimes became a joy. I was eating a much more balanced diet with far more fresh fruit and vegetables, and realised that this food was actually far more delicious.
Hand in hand with this is the time Sally spends on helping you change habits and mindset, and building confidence. Knowing that I want to do this for me, rather than for anyone else, is key, and Sally helps to understand this.
I really look forward to what the future holds for me now I no longer feel that food has this great hold over me.
I am really so glad that I came across Sally on Instagram, and I feel that her kind and compassionate approach is what so many women need to stop the diet cycle.
Thank you Sally!”

“I decided to work with Sally because I was completely overwhelmed by all the ‘shoulds’ surrounding health and wellness as a peri-menopausal 44-year-old with three children and a busy job. Before working with Sally, I was gaining weight each week despite eating in a way that had previously ‘worked’ for me. After a blood test revealed that my kidneys were under strain, I quit alcohol but realised I needed help to address my eating habits.
During the three months I worked with Sally, I lost 1.5 stone. One of the most surprising discoveries was that I didn’t actually know what being ‘hungry’ really felt like. I had been eating based on the clock or reacting to the first pang of discomfort in my stomach. Sally took me back to basics and helped me confront the uncomfortable emotions I had been suppressing with food—simple feelings like boredom, stress, and tiredness that often led me to eat unnecessarily.
I learned how much more balanced my day could feel by focusing on eating plenty of protein, vegetables, and drinking enough water, while ignoring the endless noise about what I ‘should’ be doing. Instead, I tuned in to my hunger scale and listened to my body.
I highly recommend working with Sally. Over Christmas, I gained a few pounds and learned the hard way that overindulging in sugar gives me a headache! But I didn’t start the year on a diet, nor did I punish myself for the number on the scale. Instead, I happily returned to my routine, which has seen my weight continue to trend down and my happiness trend up!”
