Thank you for booking your Empowher Strategy Call!

You’ll find everything you need to know before then on this page.

Quick warning - I only work with people who understand the value of time and mutual respect, therefore I don’t reschedule cancellations within 24 hours of the call (without valid reason). If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know ahead of time.

Please be in a quiet spot where we can speak about your struggles and goals. I won’t take calls where you are on the go or can’t devote your full attention. This is important, please treat it that way.

If we both feel we’re a good fit and I can help you, please be ready to come on board. I will answer any questions you have so bring them with you.

If anyone else is involved in the decision making process (eg. a partner) please bring them to the call so I can answer any of their questions, too.

Step 1 – Please watch the video below…

Step 2: Here’s what to expect next…

I've received your call booking and logged it into my calendar. I will review your application before the call.

Make sure you've set aside time to watch the videos below and also are in a quiet room with NO distractions at the time of your call (with something to take notes with close by)!

I'll be on the zoom call at the EXACT time you booked in for...

Step 3: Please watch the videos below…

“I can’t stick to a plan because…”

“I’ve had a coach/PT before and it didn’t work…”

“What’s the cost compared to a monthly coach or PT?”

“Why do I need to work with a specialist?”

“Can you REALLY solve my problems?”

“How do I pick the right coach?”

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • It would be beneficial to have one for sure, however it’s not absolutely essential. You can still make great progress with home workouts, although you’d need some very basic equipment like resistance bands etc.

  • Yes, I work with many women who have desk jobs! Having a sedentary job isn’t a barrier once you have the knowledge to navigate it and still lose fat.

  • I know, going to the gym for the first time can feel quite daunting. I coach a lot of beginners through their transition into the gym by making sure they’re fully equipped (mentally and physically!) to make those first few steps. The first session is always the scariest but most gym anxiety will die down after the first week, if not after your first session.

  • No! It’s my job to meet you where you’re currently at, then guide you to your goals. This means that no matter what your starting point is, you’ll benefit from coaching.

  • Yes! I will show you how to do these things whilst still making progress. Eating out/drinking alcohol are most likely to be habits for life, so it’s important you keep doing them whilst on the programme and you learn how to navigate them. Making progress without those things means that, when you add them back in (which you will) you won’t be able to maintain your progress - you won’t know how to!

  • 100%. Everything is built around you and your lifestyle. My coaching is designed to be fully flexible, so no matter how busy you are we can make it work.

  • Please make me aware of holiday length and location so I can factor it into your roadmap. By the end of the programme, you’ll have the tools to go on holiday and not take big steps backwards (whilst still enjoying your holiday to the max!)

  • It will not be an issue at all, most of my clients have VERY busy and demanding jobs. Your plan will be adapted and will accommodate for any schedule changes/travel.

  • Yes! Absolutely everything is delivered online, so as long as you have access to the internet, you’re all set!

  • Yes, you may as well learn the skills whilst you’re busy so you can utilise them throughout busy periods for the rest of your life.

  • You can but it’s not optimal as there may be conflict of interest when it comes to you progressing and achieving your goals. In the programme I make for you, there will be instructions and video tutorials, and you will be submitting form videos for me to check from time to time.

  • No food is off limits, you’ll be enjoying your diet daily.

  • You will have access to an example meal plan that you can use for inspiration. You may start off by following your meal plan as an introductory stage but, long term, you will have the tools to make your own meal plan. I don’t want you to be in a place where you rely on my meal plans - what happens then when we finish working together?

  • No, the nutrition side of your programme will be inclusive of your specific needs. No matter how complicated.

  • Yes. Whilst I don’t specialise in these disorders, I am aware of the considerations that need to be made when making your programme. The training and nutrition elements of your programme will be different to those without one of these common disorders and supplementation advice will be offered.

  • Yes. We may/may not have to consider a nutrition-only approach to begin with, but it depends on the injury. If you’re injured, please let me know more information in our call.

  • You learn to maintain it. This is the most important part of the programme. Anyone can lose weight, but what separates the women from the girls is their ability to keep it off long term.

  • Yes. The minimum amount of time I’ll work with anybody for is 4 months. The reason being is that from experience, any less than that won’t be long enough to unlearn any previous bad habits you may have picked up, as well as cement new ones. However, most clients end up working with me for over 6-12+ months. Life-changing takes time!

Why you need to be on this call…

I pride myself on delivering life-changing results for people just like you.

Nutrition

Our approach to nutrition is tailored to your life. We work together to help you come up with plan(s) that are manageable, realistic and sustainable.

Whether it’s an initial meal plan, flexible food goals, or anything in between, it will all be based around foods that you love and already eat on a daily basis. You’re not “going on a diet”, you already HAVE a diet, we just need to make it work for you.

I can guarantee you that you won’t have to give up any of the things that you love. In fact, I’ll be encouraging you to eat them on a daily basis - I eat chocolate every single day and if you’re a chocoholic like me, I’ll help you do the same. That’s how we’ll achieve Full Food Freedom.

Training

Setting goals is one thing. But it’s a whole different ball game when you find yourself in a place where you actually enjoy exercising.

For me, the perfect training programme is the right balance of things that you love, and things that you need. Whether it’s running, yoga or weightlifting, I’ll make sure that your workout schedule is tailor-made to suit your lifestyle - and will guarantee maximum results in the most enjoyable way possible. Gym workouts? Home workouts? Step targets? We’ll find what works best for you long term.

Mindset & Lifestyle

I can’t emphasise enough what a powerful tool a mindset is, especially if you want to be successful in your fitness journey. Having said that, this isn’t just about thinking positively and visualising what you want to happen – although I will teach you how to do that.

This is more about becoming aware of your own mindset barriers and us working on overcoming them together. You’ll often find you have more mindset barriers than physical barriers!

We’ll also look at your lifestyle and see where improvements can be made to maximise your quality of life and progress on the programme. It’s not about cutting out alcohol or going to bed every night at 9pm, it’s about finding a healthy balance so you can thrive.

Support

Support is an integral part of this service. Any time you're ready for that difficult conversation, or need a nudge on progress, I'm here for you. Accountability is essential to this process and having someone who can point out the areas in your life that may need extra attention is crucial.

The weekly in-depth check ins, access to daily support from your coach and also the WhatsApp community will massively improve your results.

The check ins are specifically useful for highlighting your struggles (you’ll face them!) so we can learn how to manage them going forward. Your coach can also make the necessary programme amendments to prevent you from plateauing.

Education

Education, is something that I definitely take seriously. Anybody can follow a cookie cutter plan for a few weeks. If you’re looking to make lasting change, you’re going to want to understand the ‘why’ behind the ‘what’!

Most coaches or companies rely on your business to keep them in business. So they don’t teach you exactly what you need to know to be autonomous with your journey - they need you, just as you need them (well.. you THINK you need them!)

This has never sat well with me because lack of education is one of the contributing factors to my yoyo dieting and I think it’s easy to take advantage of people with a lack of education in fitness.

I’m keen to give you the tools you need to be your own coach, so you don’t have to rely on others to get and stay in shape for the rest of your life - that sounds depressing and expensive!

  • Hollie A

    “Since starting with Annaliese, I’ve learned how to have a social life and still be able to loose weight, and I actually enjoy the gym! I never ever thought I’d say that!”

  • Maddie P

    “I have been working with Annaliese now for nearly 9 months and honestly it was the best decision I made choosing to work with her as my coach. I have struggled with my weight, confidence and general food issues for years now and was set in believing that I wasn’t going to be able to lose the weight or enjoy food again. I have come so far in this relatively short time and it is unbelievable! I have learned so much about food and exercise and just how to love myself again!”

  • Shannon H

    “Annaliese has been so amazing taking me on because I’ve definitely been hard work. She checks in on you twice a week and is always at the end of her messages when you need her most. The plan is absolutely incredible and I feel amazing 🤩. I’m eating almost double the amount I was eating before starting this plan. Annaliese is super bubbly and her motivation is just infectious. I do not want to stop working with her ❤️”

  • Amy G

    “6 weeks on, I’m 2 kg down, I’m eating more than I ever have done (and 3 times more daily calories than before my wedding!), my mental health is repairing faster than I could have ever thought possible, I’m sleeping better, my confidence is slowly increasing, I’m stronger and leaner and even after just these few weeks I feel in the best shape of my life. Annaliese is teaching me to ignore the demons, she’s making me enjoy food instead of being scared of it making me fat, but above all she is teaching me to love myself and my body for what it can do and for that I am beyond grateful. For anyone thinking about working with Annaliese, I honestly cannot recommend her enough… to quote my beloved Nike, JUST DO IT! You will not look back 🧡”

  • Billie J

    “After 6 weeks on the Empowher team if I could speak to my past self and tell myself just how much change there has been already I don’t think I would have believed it! The weight loss I have seen in such a short time is insane, and combined with how I’m feeling satisfied every day and not hungry, not restricting any foods and still able to enjoy myself is just amazing. I am feeling so much better mentally, less foggy and groggy and much more alert and energetic! I tried to loose weight for a year before I joined and got literally nowhere so to be honest I thought that was it and I would never loose the weight, so to be 6 weeks in and have lost more weight than a whole year of trying on my own makes joining worth it enough in itself! One of the best decisions I have ever made ☺️”

  • Shannon B

    “Working with Annaliese has been an absolute God send! When I first came to her I was in such a bad headspace with how I saw myself and my relationship with food and she has held my hand and helped to overcome that with all of the challenges along the way. She has pushed me to be my best and supported me when I’ve had a wobble and had a tougher day, and the difference I now feel and see in myself both physically and mentally is unrecognisable. I am so so happy that I decided to take this step and work so hard with Annaliese to get to where I wanted to be and to create a plan that I can sustain long term around a very busy lifestyle!”

  • Robyn A

    “I don’t think I could recommend Annaliese highly enough. I’ve struggled to understand my nutrition and struggled to loose weight for years. Then Annaliese comes along and changes my whole mindset. Not only has she educated me, but I’ve already lost half a stone in 4 weeks. I haven’t lost consistent weight for years. I’m healthier and happier thanks to her! ♥️ “

  • Courtney M

    “Annaliese has been amazing from the get go. She has given so much support and is always on the other end of the phone. She has given me the courage to push through every test on my journey so far, there’s no pressure from Annaliese at all she goes at your pace but guides you all the way through - I believe she will get me from Mum Bod to BOMB Bod!! ❤️”

  • Lauren C

    “Initially I was worried about increasing my cals for so long as I was so keen to lose weight fast but I put my trust in Annaliese and damnnnn I’m glad I did. I still have a way to go but this far in and I still feel motivated, usually I lose motivation after 3-4 weeks max but no, not this time. I’m so so thankful for Annaliese and all her help with changing not only a lifestyle but a mentality too!”

  • Lauren O

    “Considering I’m not a gym goer and a massive foodie, Annaliese has been the perfect coach! She has taken the time to listen to each of my wants and needs to make my plan ideal for me. When exercises were too hard we worked together to find better solutions, and when I’m craving comfort foods or a few drinks she always help me to work them into my routine in the healthiest way possible. Her constant encouragement and willingness to give all her time for her clients is stunning and I couldn’t recommend anyone higher.”

  • Alisha P

    “Prior to joining up with Annaliese I was still in ‘Christmas mode’. Eating pretty much what I wanted but knowing fine well I needed to get my head back in the game at the same time. Since starting the coaching with Annaliese she has not only been a massive help getting me back on track with my nutrition & home workouts (also hopefully gym workouts soon!!), I have found a friend in her too☺️ Her knowledge is second to none about this stuff so I put my absolute trust in her with any changes she makes to my plan ❤️”

  • Sheena P

    “I’ve been working with Annaliese since September and words can’t describe the difference that has she made. As someone who is almost 5’7 and usually wears a size 8/10, a weight loss of 9lbs is incredible however it’s much more than that. I started this journey to become more physically stronger and get back into shape after lockdown(s).

    I’ve learnt more about food, what my body needs to fuel itself and the best of all, I haven’t had to cut chocolate out and been encouraged to eat it! Everything else comes easy with targets, work plans and nutrition goals all sorted for you.

    This journey has improved my physical and mental health and I can’t wait to see what the next few months are going to be like.”

  • Tabby C

    “Hi Annaliese hope you’re well, just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the support you’ve provided during this fitness journey. This has been the first time at Christmas where I’ve eaten and enjoyed myself whilst staying within my calories target, a few days over during the festive season and didn’t out on weight!!! Did I say that..I DIDN’T GAIN ANY WEIGHT AT CHRISTMAS!!! Woooohoooo, and that’s all thanks to you for teaching me how to enjoy the foods I love whilst staying within target and still able to enjoy myself. I kept with my workouts, didn’t walk as much but was mindful on other days after Christmas not to ruin all my hard work…so getting the balance is key. You’ve been amazing and I can’t thank you enough. I look forward to the coming months to see even more progress!”

  • Brogan K

    “Been working with Annaliese for around 9 months now and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it! I started off lowering my calories and noticed the difference working around 5-6 weeks! Which is something I thought was impossible! After my body not really changing over a few weeks and getting really annoyed about it we recently upped my calories weekly and again I’ve noticed a massive difference. I have a very active and busy lifestyle so we’ve made plans around these which don’t even feel like a chore! (which I know can be the case when on this type of journey) I’ve still managed to eat my favourite foods (Chinese takeouts) and still able to see progress! I’m so glad we are working together! I’ve learnt not to see take outs and high sugary foods as a “bad food” If I’ve worked for it, I’m gonna have it. I deserve it. I’m so glad we are working together as it’s made a massive impact on my relationship with food and living a healthy lifestyle. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

  • Jade M

    “Cannot thank Annaliese for the sheer amount of knowledge and support she has given me! You have helped me find my love for fitness all over again and gain confidence I’ve been missing for years. She understood from the get go what I’m in it for and has supported that in every way. Besides the coaching annaliese has been there through some rocky stages, it’s as simple as she is a cracking coach. Here’s to the beginning of a mega journey to making strong sexy!”

  • Kaley F

    “I have worked with Annaliese now for 8 months, and all I can say is she has completely changed my life.

    It sounds dramatic right? But honestly, before coaching, I had an absolutely awful relationship with food, was constantly yo-yo’ing on the scales, and feared enjoying my life while eating delicious food. Annaliese has changed my mindset, and I have never felt so free around food. Physically, I feel the best I ever have. She will continuously work to get my nutrition and training to suit me, and for that I am so grateful. A 5 star coach, and also a great friend. I am soooo grateful for everything Annaliese has done for me. Couldn’t recommend more.”

  • Chloe A

    “I’ve worked with Annaliese for 7 months and it’s changed my life. I’d worked with a previous PT, who didn’t fit with the goals I had so was nervous to start with someone new after a bad experience.

    Annaliese made me feel really comfortable, educated me on macros and protein goals and how to track calories accurately so I had a really successful reverse diet and cut phase.

    Gym wise I was a newbie in the sense of using the weights, she helped me with my form, changed exercises I wasn’t gelling with and tailored my program to me so that I felt most comfortable.

    We’ve laughed and joked along the way as well as being there for me when I was down or struggling. I would recommend Annaliese to anyone as she truly prepares you for training on your own, by educating and training you to listen to yourself. I’m 5kg down, 6% body fat down and upper my muscle mass.”

  • Katie H

    “I came to Annaliese at the end of September looking to lose weight, tone up and still eat the food I like. With the short space of time I have lost over a half stone. This is all while eating the foods I like and exercising. Annaliese is a great coach who will encourage me and anyone who is coaches to be happy with food and comfortable with what is happening. I can say she is a brilliant coach who has helped my confidence and my relationship with food and exercise. I definitely recommend her to anybody. She is always on hand to help and give me any advice if I need xx”

  • Laura D

    “I’ve been with Annaliese for around 9 weeks now and I’m so pleased with my progress! 🌟 💪🏼

    I feel so good within myself and I have been getting so many compliments about how great I look. At no point have I felt hungry whilst being on Annaliese’s plan and at no point have I felt out of control!

    Annaliese is so lovely and approachable. I’ve felt able to talk to her about any insecurities or concerns I have and she’s helped me every step of the way. Would definitely recommend her coaching to anyone!”

  • Meg K

    “I’ve achieved exactly the goal I set when I started with you a year ago and so much more than I even thought I would get out of having an online coach.

    You know you’re going to get support and nutritional information and workouts etc, but I think you do just go above and beyond which obviously really helps and really goes to show in, not just my results/journey but for everyone else that works with you too. It’s a thoroughly enjoyable experience alongside smashing goals that we set ourselves and set by you.

    I’m really happy with where I’ve come in the past year and just want to genuinely thank you for being there amidst the ups, downs and all that there has been in between.

    I’m sad to leave your team but excited to continue working towards new goals independently and with bags of confidence all thanks to you!❤️✨”

  • Fran D

    “I had thought about joining Annaliese for a while and am SO glad I decided to take the plunge. Annaliese has helped me to understand what I need to do to ensure I am the healthiest version of myself and I am so much more confident with what I should be eating. Especially with having a busy lifestyle, Annaliese is extremely supportive and understanding, making the whole thing so much easier!”

  • Ashleigh M

    “Since starting my weight loss journey last Halloween. I have never felt as good or as confident. I have lost a stone all thanks to Annalise she really is Amazing!

    She is so unbelievably supportive and you never feel embarrassed to ask her anything about something you are unsure of. Not only has she helped me loose the extra weight I was carrying around for years but she also helped me health wise and thanks to her I found out I had an underactive thyroid which explained alot of symptoms I was experiencing.

    Ever since I joined Annalise and her team my friends and family have made comments on how they have seen a major positive change in my appearance, energy and moods. This woman has really helped me so much and I'm so thankful to her! 💕”

  • Kirsty P

    “I started my journey with Annaliese around 7 weeks ago and I honestly did not expect to feel this good already. Being able to socialise and not restrict myself from my favourite foods but still lose weight weekly is honestly a dream come true! I couldn’t recommend Annaliese enough, to see the results I have in 7 weeks is beyond all expectations! If we can do this in 7 weeks I am so excited to see what we can do in 7 months! Thank you for everything girl! I couldn’t have done this without you!!”

  • Vicky D

    “For personal reasons my year didn't start off as planned, I was deeply unhappy, piling on weight and trying to hold myself together for my kids. In April I realised I needed to start putting myself first for a change and I started to talk to Annaliese. I've never been able to stick with diets as they've always required me to eat food I don't enjoy or feel like I'm starving myself.

    Annaliese provided me with 3 achievable targets that I work towards each day that also take into account the ebbs and flows of life. I'm eating foods I love (crisps, pizza, pasta, sweets, takeouts), enjoying a social life and losing weight for the first time ever. In just over 2 months I've lost a stone and a half and I can feel my old spark coming back.

    This morning I reached into my wardrobe, picked out a pair of jeans I've never worn as they didn't fit (and I was too embarrassed to return them) and they fit, comfortably!! So today, as I do the school drop off, I know I'll not only feel good on the inside but there will also be a spring in my step. Making the choice to put myself first, is the best decision I've made. 💖”

  • Steph L

    “I have been working with Annaliese now for around seven weeks, and I genuinely can’t believe the changes that I’ve made in my life in such a short time thanks to her. She has totally changed the way I think about food as well as my relationship with food and exercise, not just on a day to day basis but around social events too.

    Annaliese, is supportive, super friendly and knowledgeable, but most importantly holds me accountable, which is exactly what I needed. In past fortnight alone I’ve seen a really positive change in my behaviour surrounding food and can actually feel it becoming less hard work and more habit. I’m so excited to see where the next few months take me with Annaliese. ❤️”

  • Amy P

    “I've been working with Annaliese since October and I can’t thank her enough for the being the BEST coach! I’ve fallen back in love with the gym and I’m seeing progress in my body and my mindset everyday 💪🏼 She’s SO helpful and always there to answer any questions and give any motivation. Any time I’ve had a meltdown about my progress she comes through with the best lil tips! An absolute fountain of knowledge 💡thanks so much for making me feel like a bad bitch ✨🤘🏼”
