Meet our new Nutrition Coach

Hello I’m Anne!

I’m a young-at-heart 60 year old who loves life, learning and food! I grow fruit, vegetables and flowers on my allotment, love creative crafts, teach Pilates and Zumba at various locations in Sheffield and volunteer at numerous social outreach programs.

I’ve always had a healthy interest in food, cooking, nutrition and keeping fit and active. I’m the mother of four grown-up children and recently became a grandmother – how can that have happened? I taught in primary schools for many years, and have a passion for education and life-long learning. When I left teaching a few years ago it wasn’t to retire, but to pursue other interests and ambitions, including training to teach Pilates and Zumba and qualifying as a nutrition coach.

Although I thought I knew the basics of nutrition, I took this further by studying for a recognised qualification in evidence-based practice with the BTN academy who had been recommended by a friend – none other than Helen Everatt!  Not only did I learn far more, but I also applied what I was learning so I lost some weight myself.  A win-win situation indeed!

I now coach small groups of people, helping them to lose fat, improve their health, change their relationship with food and feel empowered to take control of their eating habits.

What do I have to offer which is different from other nutritional websites?  Well, because everyone is different, and because most of us prefer bespoke advice to reading webpages and articles, I offer a personal service (one-to-one and in small groups – often via Zoom) which is tailored to your own situation.

How do I do this? By taking time to listen to what you have to tell me about your own experiences with food and diet, I am able to suggest small steps to help you establish good habits and offer practical help and advice. I do this in a non-judgemental and low-key way, tuning into your own needs and lifestyle.

I’d love to help you achieve your goals in relation to food, eating and well-being.  It all starts with a friendly chat by phone, in person or by video call. Take action today instead of wasting any more of your life trying to solve this problem on your own!
