Menopause Coaching

As a certified menopause coaching specialist, I provide tailored training, education, and lifestyle strategies to help individuals navigate perimenopause and menopause.

This is a lifestyle change

Honesty is the best policy: I am not a 'quick-fix' or '8-week challenge' coach. We'll be working on nutrition education, mindset shifts, and consistent movement, which all require time to become second nature. Think of this as a lifestyle shift, not a temporary project.

Testimonials

What clients have loved about their Burpees & Carrots PT experience

Rachel has taught me elements of different exercises that I never even spared a thought for. I now understand the importance of setting your body up for different exercises, why taking it slow is much better and also...not to drop the oranges from your armpits #IYKYK 😂 I shall be back!

Rachel is the best, she has helped me on my journey to a healthier lifestyle and made sure I understand the exercises and nutritional choices rather than just putting me on a plan. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to live the healthier life!

I have been training with Rachel for 2 years and can’t recommend her highly enough! Rachel has not only helped me become physically stronger but also to be more confident in my ability to push myself further and try maximise on what I can get out of every session.

Rachel has been the perfect instructor - she has worked hard and been so successful on getting me to where I never thought I would be. She has been a solid supporter and has encouraged me to work hard and reap the rewards. She has a great sense of humour and her personality shines through - well done Rach, I always look forward to even the hardest sessions.

Love training with Rachel. I have become so much stronger and my body has transformed. I came to her with so many injuries and she’s been able to workaround them, helping me repair and strengthen my body. If you’re looking for a trainer that cares, and can work with someone with injuries, she’s your lady! Highly recommend
