About Me

My Story

I'm not naturally the strongest, fittest or leanest person in the room. I've had to work hard and learn, just like anyone else. I've done Weight Watchers and Slimming World, and while they're not bad, they were never a lifelong approach for me.

That's what led me to nutrition coaching. I wanted to understand food properly, not just restrict it, and I wanted to help other people do the same.

I consider the whole person, not just the plate. Sleep, stress, work, family and life all play a part, and I'll work with you to find what actually fits yours.

My Journey

How I Got Here

  1. Where It Started

    Diets and Slimming Clubs

    They worked for a while, but they never felt like something I could do for life.

  2. Finding Training

    Getting Stronger

    Training became a big part of my life, from the gym floor to the CrossFit Open, and I saw what my body could do when it was properly fuelled.

  3. 5+ Years Ago

    Opening the Gym

    I opened my gym near Loughborough and started training and coaching people to become stronger, fitter versions of themselves.

  4. 2+ Years Ago

    Coaching Nutrition

    I started coaching nutrition 1-2-1, built around real food and real life.

  5. Today

    Nutrition, Training and More

    1-2-1 nutrition coaching, individual training programmes and the Menopause Method, helping people get results that last.

Our Philosophy

What I Believe

  • Food Is Not the Enemy

    Good food tastes good and makes your body feel better. Eating well is not about lettuce and eating as little as possible.

  • Your Body Needs Fuel

    Eating well is about understanding your food and working with it in line with your goals. The body is a machine that needs fuelling, and the right food can do this amazingly.

  • No Two Plans the Same

    Every client is individual, so no two plans look the same. Together we test and adjust what actually works for your goals, your schedule and your life.

What My Clients Say

  • It isn't just the nutrition plan, it's the person behind it.

    I started working with Lesley just before Christmas with one goal... to get "lean AF" for my wedding on 26th June 2026. When I started, I weighed 112kg, and by the time I flew out to Cyprus I was down to 102kg.
