☕GREAT CONVERSATIONS CHANGE LIVES💬
Ever felt like you should be doing more for your health…
…but don’t quite know where to start, or what’s actually right for you?
You’re not alone — and you don’t need to figure it out by yourself either.
👋 I’m Chippenham’s only Mental Health & Exercise Coach.
And whilst I’m not taking on new clients right now, I’d still love to buy anyone a tea or coffee (other soft drinks available!) for a friendly, no-obligation chat.

☀️ A little about me 👇
• 60 years and 16 days old
• besotted husband and grandfather of two (not necessarily in that order, depending on who’s listening! 😅)
• heart attack survivor ❤️🩹
• son of three parents lost to cancer — the first when I was 15 🎗️

Health isn’t “not being ill.”
It is a balance of physical, social and mental wellbeing — that’s the World Health Organisation’s definition, not mine! 🌍
My own journey as a coach began when I realised that the hardest part of recovering from my heart attack wasn’t physical — it’ was psychological.
That realisation changed everything. 💭

💡 Now I help people:
💪 rebuild confidence if life knocks them down
🧘♀️ find harmony between body and mind
😊 discover joy and purpose through movement — not punishment
My mission is to tear down barriers that stop people from moving, living and laughing.
Because exercise should always be:
✅ fun first
✅ focused on Healthspan before Lifespan
✅ about enjoying life — not chasing numbers or appearances

Putting ourselves first isn’t selfish — it’s selfless.
It’s how we stay healthy enough to enjoy, and be there, for the people we love. ❤️
We all carry doubts like:
💭 “I’m too old.”
💭 “I’ll be judged.”
💭 “I’m not fit enough.”
💭 “I don’t have time.”
💭 “I can live with stress.” (You can’t — it needs to go, like p*e and poo! 💨)
💭 “I’m scared of not being seen for myself.”
💭 “I fear comparison.”
💭 “I don’t want to feel like the first day at school again.”
These thoughts just prove one thing: we’re human.

🌱 Life doesn’t get better by chance — it gets better through change.
And sometimes the bravest part of change is simply asking for help.
We’re never too old to go out and play; sometimes we just need someone to show us the way.
People are instinctively compassionate, tolerant and inclusive.
Life thinks it can bury those natural traits — but we have the ability to keep coming up for air, to keep rising up, and to keep being ourselves. 💚

So, if you’d like a chat — no sales, no pressure — just a conversation over a cuppa ☕
…just let me know.
Because connection is where magic happens. ✨
