“Sarah organised a firm wide webinar for us on how to reduce our stress levels by looking at the key areas that affects us daily. Sarah gave real life examples on how we can improve our diet and gave us some fantastic tips on how to try and improve our quality of sleep. She also spoke about the importance of taking that time to look after ourselves, from how to achieve a small amount of manageable exercise through to how to gain a positive mindset from the start of the day. A great reminder of why we need to put ourselves first sometimes!”

I can’t recommend Sarah enough. I’d been feeling a low and lost going through the menopause when I started coaching with Sarah. She was fantastic, encouraging and gave me great support and advise for a happier, healthy life, from exercising, to eating better some great coping techniques, tips and just good advise and pleased to say I have a much healthier lifestyle and outlook.
Sarah has a lovely nature and is so dedicated and passionate to help people be the best version of themselves.

After losing some direction in life, from a number of personal life changing traumas, and recently starting a new role. I felt it time to get back on track and focus on me and my future. I had known Sarah through a mutual friend and her personality and approachability was what drew me to her.
Early on in our sessions it became apparent to me just how caring and relatable Sarah is. Not only is Sarah a great listener but a great talker. Through the duration of our sessions Sarah's professionalism was second to none. Regularly checking in with me during the week to see how I'm getting on.
I highly recommend Sarah to anyone who is looking to gain redirection and focus in their life.
Thank you Sarah.
Thank you for the work, we did over the 12 weeks. I was recommended to Sarah by a friend, at first I was really not sure about coaching.
I was not the most open person about life, goals, health but Sarah made me feel at ease all the way through like a safe space, no judgement. I have changed my mindset, the way I eat, the way I deal life in general.
Thank you Sarah would not been possible without you. Will be checking in to work in future goals and better myself.

I cannot recommend Sarah enough, she has been an amazing coach and helped me in so many ways.
I’ve become so much more confident and happy. Friends have noticed and said comments like - You've got your mojo back !
and you are back in the room 😊
Not to mention my weight loss of 2 stone. I am no longer pre diabetic, I make so much better choices with my food.
Sarah is so encouraging, positive and kind. I have a lot to thank her for.
If you’re thinking about have some coaching with Sarah I would say go for it, you certainly won’t regret it.

Sarah has been remarkable to work with. She is very professional and personal, which is a very necessary mix for this type of support and guidance. Sarah has made me feel at ease throughout the process and I’ve felt able to confide openly with Sarah, so that she and I can really get to the root cause of any personal issues or limitations.
One of the best things about Sarah’s approach is that she helps you to maintain your personal accountability each week, keeping optimal health at the forefront of your mind, whilst steering you in the right direction when necessary. Ultimately, only you can do the work to get the results you want, but a weekly check-in and review session combined with a weekly action plan has worked wonders.
Since working with Sarah, I’ve seen notable improvements with my; alertness, energy, productivity, mood and weight. The only limitation that I found was my own time and commitment to the process, but Sarah and I have discussed and jointly identified ways to free-up more time in my life so that I can achieve more. I’ve been so impressed that I’ve signed up to another 12 weeks and I can’t wait to get started again. I would highly recommend engaging Sarah just to find out how much of a difference you can make to both your physical and mental health.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Sarah Stannard for supporting and guiding me through an exciting self-improvement journey, over the last 6 months. I couldn't recommend her enough.
I have achieved some huge life goals and as a result I have a much healthier mindset, and I have a healthier outlook on life.
I don't think I could have done some of these things without her, I now enjoy cooking and eating healthier recipes, I am enjoying regular exercise and I feel much happier and excited for the future. One of my biggest achievements has been quitting smoking - something I didn't think I was going to stop doing. Thank you again, I have truly enjoyed working with you and I'm excited for the future.

I have had an incredible experience working with Sarah over the past 12 weeks and have made huge steps in improving my health, mental wellbeing and work focus.
I have lost 2 stone in weight which has helped to reduce the impact of long- term medical issues such as knee pain, IBS and an underactive thyroid. By changing my diet, reducing the sugar and eating more mindfully stomach pain which even my doctor and gastroenterologist could not get to the bottom of has gone.
Sarah is endlessly encouraging, kind and understanding. She listens to what you are saying and responds in a way that helps you rethink and re-evaluate your mindset. The emails, whats app messages, recipes, articles, targets and voice messages have been fantastic and have get me inspired.
When things have gone wrong Sarah has not criticised or made me feel guilty but supported me in accepting what has happened and moving on.
I have a long journey ahead of me so I am excited to be working with Sarah again for another 12 weeks of sessions. I would recommend Sarah to anyone who would like to feel happier, healthier or if you want to make changes in your life to be a better version of yourself.

I am so glad that I found Sarah. I’ve been working with her for 3 months now and just signed up for another 3 months. She is so engaging, enthusiastic, encouraging, a great listener and no matter what I’ve told her she hasn’t judged or made negative comments.
She points out the accomplishments I’ve made so far and guides me towards better habits in areas where I want to improve both for my mind as well as my body.
My self-esteem has improved so I treat myself better daily, I’ve lost weight and I now have positive goals for the future.
Sarah has helped me to understand my eating habits and how I can change the way I think about food so that I am nourishing my body and mind instead of just my tastebuds for 5 seconds! I’m not at the end of my journey by a long shot but Sarah keeps me accountable week after week and pulls me back on track when I veer away.
Ilana 53
I decided to get some help from Sarah. In my month of coaching, I dropped another 10 pounds bringing my total to 1 stone loss and my BMI now sitting much healthier in the middle of where it should be. All simple stuff but when someone else is holding you accountable, in the nicest possible way, you realise that you weren’t quite doing as much as you could be!
Not only was I eating healthier, I was exercising more and more importantly sleeping better which for me was something I never thought I would be able to change. Sarah’s weekly check ins were enjoyable and often thought provoking. Her regular messaging with tips, recipes, encouragement and motivation kept me going! I also learned to be kind to myself and to make time for me…. a big step change.
So if you want to make some changes, I recommend you contact Sarah – you will be surprised at what you are capable of and you might end up doing things you hadn’t even thought of!!

I can’t recommend Sarah enough she has helped me in many ways from emotional wellbeing and physical health.
With Sarah’s guidance I have lost many inches off my waist. My weight has gone down and I feel more healthier and have more energy to finish my day.
Sarah is a very positive and professional individual.
Raweena 35
I felt I had reached a plateau with my health. So I joined Sarah’s 1 hour “Get up and go” coaching session.
Sarah took the time to delve into my thought process, evaluate, support and guide me both physically and mentally.
This has resulted in me eating smarter, more healthily and ensuring my mental wellbeing remains constant. The handouts from this session really assisted everything.
I cannot praise Sarah enough for everything she has done for me in such a short time. This one hour session has opened my eyes to what is possible for my future health and wellbeing. I’ve lost weight already over the first week and I feel amazing!
Harry 45
I have loved working with Sarah, I’ve lost weight and my health has really improved. She's helped me with all aspects of my health from mindful eating and bite sized, regular exercise to my mental health and how to juggle everyday challenges in life. Everything Sarah has shown me has stayed with me and its been life changing! Healthy eating for example, has become a daily habit I enjoy, something I never thought was possible for me! I feel like I've had a lifestyle reset and totally recommend Sarah to anyone wanting to look and feel better.
Anna, 41
Hello, my name is Anne and I am 37 years old.
After having my two kids 18 months apart, and having two c-sections, my body was not in its ideal shape. My eating habits were not their best and my physical activity levels were at an all-time low. I was a bit lost as to how to help myself. I needed some help to jump start my life again.
Sarah was just the person I needed to lovingly help me see the best in myself. She worked with me to figure out a way to incorporate proper nutrition back into my life, find the confidence to try new workout routines, and helped me prioritize myself.
I have lost one and half stone with her help and finally feel like I see myself when I look in the mirror again. She has used her own life as an example to show me that health and wellness can be achieved with love and support, both of which she freely gave to me.
She is the best of the best and you will be a better person for having worked with her.
Anne 37
Sarah is the real deal.
She inspired me to make changes in my life simply by living hers the way she does. She is powerful, purposeful, passionate and a stunning example of how to get bolder and more beautiful, rather than older and more ordinary. With her help I have shed two stone in weight.
But it’s not really what I’ve lost that’s made my life so much brighter and happier. It’s the things I’ve gained. The knowledge that she has shared, the confidence and courage that she has inspired, and the energy that has returned, as I have successfully achieved one goal after the other with her support.
And at 56, I have not just lost weight, but I have also gained muscle and tone. It’s been a marvellous journey so far, and I’m looking forward to the road ahead! If you are ready to make some changes in your life, you could not make a better decision than to have Sarah as your coach.
Susie 56
Sarah has been both professional and friendly in her manner. I have found her very easy to talk with and the goals that she has helped me set have been realistic and achievable.
I am now drinking more water, doing more exercise and walking 10,000 steps a day.
I would recommend Sarah to friends
Linda 62
I gained a lot of knowledge and understanding for some of the challenges I have, especially around eating habits and movement. Additionally, the sessions were always encouraging and positive.
The best thing about the program, for me, was the accountability and relational feel.
Thank you for all your help and support! It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and I so appreciate your encouragement and challenges!
Cece 26
I had such a great coaching experience with Sarah. She really helped me to achieve my goals by thinking about things in a different way and breaking things down into manageable achievable pieces. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone who needs some additional help. She has been a great listener and very empathetic to all of life’s dramas that have come my way during our assignment.
Sarah 38
I was keen to change my lifestyle, decrease stress and lose weight, Sarah happily stepped up to the challenge. Sarah looked at all angles of my health, nutrition, goals, challenges and mindset before we started on this journey.
Throughout the past three months, my mental health has improved enormously. With regular exercise and a nutritional plan, I have lost nearly 2 stone in weight. Not only do I feel great, I now have so much more energy and clarity to my working week. Instead of feeling lethargic and stressed, I am enjoying life to the fullest again.
I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough for her patience and guidance in working with me. My wellbeing is now of paramount importance, so I look forward to continuing my journey with Sarah’s guidance.
