ABOUT CHANTAL

YOUR PATH TO BALANCE, ENERGY AND LASTING HEALTH

MY CONSULTATIONS

My face-to-face or online consultations combine practical support with coaching in nutrition, exercise, stress management, and mindset to help you build lasting healthy habits.

BOOK ONLINE

EXERCISE

Exercise strengthens the body, builds muscle, and helps maintain bone density, while boosting energy, improving mood, and reducing the risk of chronic disease. Regular movement supports healthy aging, resilience, and a strong mind-body connection essential for overall well-being.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Weight management is about creating sustainable, balanced habits rather than quick fixes. It involves nourishing the body with the right foods, staying active, and understanding how lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, and mindset influence weight. By focusing on consistency, mindful choices, and long-term wellness, clients can achieve a healthy weight that supports energy, vitality, and overall well-being, rather than simply chasing a number on the scale.

NUTRITION

Nutrition is the foundation of wellness—fueling every cell, supporting balance, and enabling the body’s natural ability to heal. Food is more than energy; it’s medicine, reducing inflammation, boosting mental clarity, and preventing chronic illness. By choosing whole, nutrient-dense foods, we work with the body to restore harmony and sustain long-term vitality.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Stress management is essential for overall health, as chronic stress can impact both the body and mind. Techniques like mindful breathing, movement, and quality sleep help regulate the body’s response to stress.

There are many stress busting techniques that will be discussed and by cultivating healthy coping strategies and awareness, clients can reduce tension, improve focus, and enhance resilience, supporting long-term physical and emotional well-being.

CLIENT STORIES

GRACE

“When I suddenly developed severe facial eczema, it really knocked my confidence and affected my overall wellbeing. Chantal’s support was incredible. She didn’t just offer advice - she shared a wealth of knowledge, always explaining the ‘why’ behind every recommendation, whether it was diet, lifestyle, or mindset-related. She helped me understand the link between gut health, inflammation, and skin, while also giving me practical techniques to manage the emotional side - from stress reduction to anxiety coping tools. Her guidance was always holistic, empathetic, and so valued. What stood out most is how much she lives and breathes everything she teaches - from nutrition to natural remedies and holistic health. Thanks to her continued support and encouragement, my skin has improved dramatically. Chantal is a credit to herself and her profession, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their health, manage stress, or just feel better from the inside out.”

LUCY

Chantal was kind, understanding and very knowledgeable. I wanted to talk about hormones amongst other things and she knew exactly what to focus on. More importantly she was realistic in her approach so that I could make changes in a manageable way and still see really good progress.

RACHEL

Chantal has been an invaluable health coach, guiding me through the challenges of achieving a better work-life balance while navigating the complexities of perimenopause. Her personalized approach has not only helped me address my concerns about water retention and weight gain but also empowered me to adopt healthier habits that fit my lifestyle. Chantal's compassionate support and expert advice have made a significant difference in my journey, allowing me to feel more in control of my body and overall well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a holistic approach to health and balance.

ALEX

Working with Chantal has been truly life-changing. Her knowledge, encouragement, and personalised approach made it easy to build healthy habits that actually last. Instead of quick fixes, Chantal helped me create a sustainable lifestyle that fits me perfectly. I feel more energised, confident, and in control of my health than ever before. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for real, lasting results.

After a punishing lower body workout, I’m giving my lower body 2-3 rest days.
Rest days are key for muscle recovery and growth so rest days are as important as training days!

Today is upper body day 💪🏻

Here are a few of my favourite upper body exercises that I see good results from for a toned back, shoulders, triceps and biceps.

There are of course so many variations, and it’s what you find most comfortable! I’m just sharing what I enjoy doing 🤍

As a rule of thumb I make sure I do 4 sets of 12-15 reps.
I think the 4th set is important if you want to see results quicker as by this point your muscles are knackered 😂 that’s where the magic happens! It should be a struggle by the 4th set :) no pain, no gain! 💪🏻🤍

Today’s lower body session! Focusing on building muscle and strength 💪🏻
@ayhanfitness absolutely killed me today, but I feel so much better for it! Worked up a proper sweat and now recovering and fuelling my body with protein 🤍

When I woke up this morning, I was so tired and the last thing I felt like was doing a heavy session at the gym, but I pushed myself to do it and I’m so glad I did!

Sometimes we just need to push ourselves out of our comfort zone to feel better physically and mentally… I feel much more motivated having done a good workout 🤍

movement and exercise is as much for our mental health as it is our physical health , and consistency is key to reap the benefits 🤍

Wishing you all a great week ahead , and encouraging you to try to implement some movement this week and carve out a little time for yourself 🤍 #gymlife #fitness #Health #Movement #StrengthBuilding #HealthCoach #Self-Care

I refer a lot to ‘filling up your soul cup’ when speaking to friends, family and clients..

I feel it’s so important to recognise and realise what you need as soul food, what brings you peace, happiness and fulfilment and to create more moments and time for those things.

Sometimes it takes us a while to understand what we really need in our lives to fill our cups up, but once we become aware of what feeds our soul, our appreciation for those things increases and we start to become more mindful and grateful.

Gratitude and practicing gratitude I believe can only enhance our lives and bring about positivity.

As I’ve got older I have realised that finding these answers require going within and giving yourself the space to ask these questions and find the answers in your own time. Sometimes these answers are on the other side of change which can be really uncomfortable and scary. But it might just be where you find a little piece of gold too :)

Change is hard, scary, the unknown, but it’s also necessary to evolve and grow 🤍 🌿

Create time for yourself, especially as we age.. I believe everything and everyone should add value to your life, and not drain you.. if something or someone is draining you, it’s ok to step back a little and place a gentle boundary down :)

Hope this resonates with you 🤍 go and fill your soul cup up 🥰🤍

Sunday motivation 🤍

Over the last 2 to 3 years there has been a lot of change and transformation in my life in many, many ways.. there have been very tough and uncomfortable moments, but there have also been huge moments of Growth and realisation. Looking back this is what I have come to realise…

Embrace Change 🤍 Just Like the Seasons 🍂

Life, much like the seasons, is ever-changing.
Just when we think we have everything figured out, the winds of change sweep in reminding us that growth and transformation are inevitable.

When autumn arrives, the trees shed their leaves, making way for new growth in the spring. It’s a natural process, a cycle of letting go and starting fresh. The same goes for us. Change, while sometimes uncomfortable, is a vital part of the human experience. And much like the seasons, hard times are temporary.

If you’re going through a rough patch, remember: winter doesn’t last forever. The tough moments you’re facing right now will eventually pass. Embrace the uncertainty. Lean into the discomfort. It’s not a sign of weakness but of growth in progress.

The beauty of life is that we can always begin again 🤍just like the earth does after every season. ✨

Whether it’s a personal challenge, a new career path, or a shift in your health journey, you have the power to start fresh at any moment.

🤍 Remember: Each day is a new opportunity to grow, evolve, and align with your true self. You are always allowed to change your course, to plant new seeds, and to bloom when the time is right.

This is your season of growth. 🌿

I thought it was important to create this post to talk about my nutrition and fitness journey over the last couple of years.

After I left a busy musical career in 2015, I had my two beautiful daughters, as many of you know, it was not an easy journey to fall pregnant and that is where my nutrition journey began. However, I had never worked out before or stepped foot into a gym.

During my pregnancies, I started doing some strength building Pilates classes which I really enjoyed. I then had my babies 18 months apart so my body was extremely tired and depleted of energy.

Raising two children under two was pretty intense at times, and I was not very good at asking for help. I became so exhausted and depleted that I ended up in hospital with gastritis which is caused by stress and exhaustion.

During Covid I was diagnosed with a fatigue syndrome, so my energy levels were at an all-time low.
I decided that I did not want to give into this fatigue syndrome, so this is when I Started Beginning to exercise and look after my diet. I really only started working out properly 3 to 4 times a week at the gym from 2023. Before this, I was probably only working out once or twice a week and didn’t see much difference although my energy levels were a little better.

It was only when I started working out and concentrating on strength building mainly four times a week that I really began to see a difference in my energy levels and my body felt so much stronger and more resilient.
I didn’t do any crash diet or faddy diets, I stuck to the 80/20 rule as I love my food so much I didn’t want to cut anything out. I just wanted to add more goodness into my diet.. at one stage I did get too skinny for my liking, probably a little bit too lean, but I just changed that by upping my calories which was very easy as I love to eat :)

Why You Should Rotate During Pull exercises 💪🏻

Something I’ve learnt over the last couple of years is why it’s good to use rotation during exercises.

Here’s why:
Rotation = healthier, stronger pulls. *Helps your shoulders move naturally *Reduces joint strain *Activates more muscles (lats, biceps, rear delts) *Builds real, functional strength

Try not to lock your arms in place, let them flow. Your joints will thank you 🤍

Rotating during pull exercises (like pull-ups, rows, or pulldowns) is beneficial because it allows your joints and muscles to move through a more natural range of motion, reducing strain and improving activation.

This also reduces stress on the rotator cuff and prevents impingement — a common cause of shoulder pain in pulling movements. 🤍
