YOU DESERVE TO FEEL YOUR BEST EVERY DAY

THAT PHOTO

​

Well, for a start, that photo at the top - I looked like that for about 45 minutes. It took a good 3 years to achieve the physical side of it and about 20 for the balls to actually do it. It was on a beach about 20 minutes away from where I live and I interrupted a few dog walks that morning. Insane photos and editing from the incredibly talented Liza Salt, with hair and make up styled by Danielle Spencer, colour by Collete Bell.

 

The day before that shoot, I'd made a mistake at my old work (human error, it happens) and I was being made to feel absolutely crap for it despite other people having made much worse mistakes than I had (ironically, I'd been the one to clear up their mistakes) but this didn't seem to matter because it was me... The old me would have; cancelled the photo shoot, felt terrible about it all, got upset and cried, told my family about it and then stayed up all night to rectify it or keep apologising. But the current me, the one that I've worked on for so many years thought 'no;' I'm going to say to myself exactly what I would say to my best friend; nobody died, you're human, you were only trying to do something new and you're still good at your job and are a good person. 

​

So that's why I'm even more proud of those pictures; don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely thrilled with how they turned out visually, but much more importantly, they represent the difference in my how I value myself; that I do have boundaries and that I can treat myself with the same kindness that I show to others. This for me is the key. I try things, I fail. I have given something a go and if it doesn't work out (marriage, business, friendships, ideas), I know that it's all going to be ok. I know who I am, I know my intentions and I know that I'm trying my best and my best will look different every day. I'm not perfect, I don't need to be and I value the people in my life, the experiences I've had so far and I appreciate my physical, mental and emotional health more than you will ever know.

THE TRANSFORMATIONAL POWER OF PERSONAL TRAINING & COACHING

​​

Personal training, coaching and the community that you can be a part of is an incredible experience. For me, there's something about getting stronger, finding a way to enjoy moving your body and learning how to nourish your body that is nothing short of life changing. Your quality of life can improve so much if you decide to dedicate a proportion of your time (and money of course) to focussing on it. It doesn't have to be all consuming but it certainly pays off to get smart about what to focus your energy on and that's where I can help. I've been in and around gyms for the last 25 years, qualified PT for 5 years and have competed internationally in Natural Body Building winning 2 British Titles, Amateur Miss Natural Olympia (world title basically!), Amateur Female Athlete of the Year 2022 and my Pro Card.

WHY I STARTED RED RABBIT COACHING?

​

Well, I was made to to be completely honest! Redundancy, a lifeline from the universe to go do something you actually like!

I was already working part time online coaching but then I started Red Rabbit Coaching full time having been made redundant in 2023. If you'd have asked me three years ago what my goals were (and my amazing friend Ruth can verify this), it was to be a World Champion Body Builder and to be made redundant so I could do what I love; so be careful what you ask for because dreams can come true! I've now had the pleasure of working with 100s of clients from 16 up to 65, male and female, have done photo shoots and body building preps. If I haven't worked with someone in your situation yet, then I'll do my best to find out how I can help you too.

WHY THE NAME RED RABBIT COACHING?

​

Whilst rabbits are traditionally vulnerable animals, the red rabbit is different. It's bold, flashy and empowering; no longer hiding but standing out brightly, uniquely and certainly not afraid. It's experienced a lot of danger in the forest and escaped. It's stronger and wiser than before and has learned how to defend itself. The 'Red Rabbit' symbolises confidence, empowerment, and one's own personal transformation. The 'Red Rabbit' represents inner strength, confidence, and. courage. The logo was actually designed by my ex-husband whilst we were out competing in Romania, so thanks for the idea there. 

​

When I did my first body building competition, I didn't place as I was in the wrong category and as it was Covid year, it wasn't possible to spot me first and move me. When I spoke to the UKDFBA about it all, I said I felt like an Easter Bunny at a Father Christmas competition and so I got the nickname of the bunny. The following year, I went back and wore a red bikini, hence Red Rabbit; and the rest is history.

​

SO WHY HIRE ME AS YOUR COACH?

 

​Because life is short. Far too short to be your own biggest barrier to feeling and looking how you want to; the two often go hand in hand. I pride myself on my clients being able to trust me and what I say to help them. I hope you find the same. But if you don't believe me, please read my client testimonials. You'll find that there aren't the usual before and after photos and that's not because they don't look amazing, it's because I want you to hear, from them, how they feel about themselves and tell me that's not what you want for yourself too. It always helps to have someone in your corner who has walked the walk, has their own version of how you feel and has then repeatedly changed themselves to improve in mind, body and soul. The body achieves what the mind believes and I've gone from being a disabled student at University having suffered with Fibromyalgia at 19, smashing my ankle on a poor choice of a night out, feeling so crap about myself, drinking and eating too much that I hardly recognised myself, heightened anxiety to a professional natural body builder. I can help you build a happier and healthier life. You're only a message away from starting yourself.
