I started off as a slim child / teenager and fell into bad diet culture in my late teens / early 20s which was fulled by low self esteem.  After the pandemic, I put on about 2.5 stone which I struggled to lose as I was in a bad habit of weekday restriction and binging as soon as Friday hit.  I was in slimming world, weight watchers...I tried it all but it never stuck.

I felt so self conscious of looking different to how I used to and people noticing that.

I had good intentions to "start again" after I got engaged but fell back into bad habits. I was then diagnosed with a genetic condition which means I now have to take medication long term. I was told a healthy lifestyle would be key in helping managing the symptoms and this was the shock I needed to finally take control and give my body and mind the love + attention they deserve.

When I started working with Siobhan, she spoke to me about my lifestyle, my values and what I wanted to achieve from the Embody Method. She listened to my priorities and tailor made me a program to fit around my lifestyle by building daily habits, giving me a programme to follow in the gym and helping me understand nutrition so that I was no longer avoiding foods I thought were "bad" whilst prioritising fuelling for health and strength. I loved utilising the emotional eating tools so I recognised why I would choose to binge and not feel like I was broken.

I've been working with Siobhan for a year now and the difference in my body and mind is astounding. The plan may have focused on weightloss and exercise but I have gained so much more than that. I notice that I am now talking to myself more kindly and feel connected with myself. I've realised it's not all about the scale weight and celebrating the other successes i've discovered along the way.

I actually enjoy going to the gym now

I've learnt that balance and consistency are key. Whilst taking part in the Embody Method I have been on nights out, holidays and enjoyed take aways. No guilt, no binging and no restrictions.

Siobhan has been so supportive throughout my journey and has not only been a soundboard for any wobbles but a fountain of knowledge whenever I had any questions or needed guidance.

I would encourage anyone considering signing up with the Embody Method to do it! I wish I had found Siobhan years ago because I finally feel free from the endless preoccupation of food + exercise.

I feel like I am thriving and the most confident I have ever felt in myself.

MY history with nutrition and exercise is a long, chaotic path of disordered eating, binging + restriction
