"Charlene really got me started, with her unfailing optimism and encouragement and completely non-judgmental attitude, and of course her amazing teaching skills and expertise. I still hear her lovely Canadian voice in my head when I think of ‘not bothering’, so her influence has been as lasting as it was instrumental."

Jacquie Boyd-Coleman Director - Beattie Communications

"Charlene is very professional and has been actively involved in delivering a suite of online videos bespoke to our business, as well as delivering onsite training sessions. 

I found Charlene to be forward thinking and took the time to understand what we trying to achieve and what is right for our business. She also helped frame the narrative of our health and wellness approach, by weaving “our story” into the content for both the videos and face to face sessions. Working with her has been a pleasure.”

I would recommend anyone who wants to become fitter, healthier and more flexible to give her a call ASAP. She really knows her stuff!”

Mandy Lehto Coach - Writer - Podcaster (MoxieCast)

"Charlene's Ebook is a nice, light read for anyone who plans to build in a fitness schedule in their daily routine. There is no preachy tone anywhere. It's for everyone at any level of fitness. If you are thinking of overhauling your health routines it's a must read for simple tips and tools to guarantee success. Personally, I have realised since reading the book I’m doing the same thing all the time but expecting a different result. I'm implementing lots of advice from the book and enjoy reading it when I need help to get into that fitness mind set."

"I was 17.5 stone (245lbs) 47 inches round my waist. I had purchased a treadmill and weights, I tried various YouTube workouts and nothing was working. I started the 8 week Simple Healthy Living DIY programme and week one was easy to slot into my life, week 2 and 3 were challenging for me. Then I started to feel less tired, less groggy and irritable and more energetic. By the end of the 8 weeks my weight was 16 stone (224lbs) I had got my waist down to 42 inches. This was amazing as I only cut refined sugar and hadn't been on a diet. I learned life-long healthy habits on this course. It was the best health investment. Charlene is just amazing."

Declan Online Fitness Client

"This January I started the online Simple Healthy Living DIY health and fitness program. I had for a year done the same routine at the gym, so the programme changes were just what I needed. It was such a simple workout to slot in to my existing gym routine and within 3 weeks my tummy was noticeably better and flatter. Every week I had different challenges making the program fun. I started to use the outdoors for exercise and loved this. I even took up jogging on my rest days. By the end of the 8 weeks I felt amazing, on top of the world."
