testimonials.
"Before the 4-week Reset Programme I was feeling stuck, I felt very sluggish and tired all the time and unhappy with where my fitness and weight were after having two kids. Since the Reset Programme, I have lost 2.5kgs but more excitingly I started running again. I have more energy for my kids and husband, I am less irritable and feel much better about myself. Working with Iona was a wonderful experience. She taught me so much and always made me feel comfortable and proud of myself. She is a great listener and focuses on ways to help you that suit you."
Jess K.
"Working with Iona was a game changer during my pregnancy. After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I was anxious about my health and my baby’s wellbeing. Iona helped me transform my mindset and approach to food and exercise. She showed me how to enjoy what I eat in moderation, swap out unhealthy options and make time for movement after meals, which improved my sugar readings. Thanks to her guidance I saw positive changes in my health and even my baby's measurements, which was really reassuring. Iona's support was invaluable, and the habits I developed during my pregnancy have continued to benefit me post-birth. I highly recommend her!" Lauren C.
"I have worked with Iona for 4 weekly sessions and it has been revolutionary. I was completely stuck in a rut with bad anxiety ruling my life. Iona has helped me to put tools in place to manage my anxiety and reduce the chances of anxiety attacks occurring. She enabled me to find fun in my life again. I found Iona a lovely person to work with, very supportive and without judgement. I would recommend Iona to anyone wanting to make positive changes to improve their health and happiness"
