Online Nutritional Coaching
I felt like I was in need of someone with expert knowledge and I knew that movement wise I was doing loads, and that ultimately my problem had to be more than exercise. Originally I thought that sorting out my nutrition was the best motive, turns out there was so much more than just food involved!
I decided to work with Marcus because I met him in real life whilst travelling in Mexico, I thought he was really kind and genuine and I spent about 10 months seeing his social media posts and stories. When it came to crunch time I felt like I trusted his knowledge and the progress he had made with his other clients, so I was in!
Together we cleaned up my eating, sleeping, movement and thinking patterns and found a strategy to get all of those elements to work together to improve my physicality and emotional wellbeing. I now feel like I have a blueprint for how to maintain and keep balance.
I was actually surprised to find that so many of my personal choices around food were so deeply connected to my emotions and my reactions to my life. I can now recognize when that is happening, and actively make better decisions to provide the stress relief or comfort that I'm often looking for.
Also now that I lost weight my old clothes fit me again and as a swing dancer, I feel the benefits so strongly! I can move much more easily, I feel vitalized and my energy levels don't drop when I'm dancing. I am able to swing out fast for a whole song and not collapse in a heap afterwards, and that makes me so fucking proud of myself!! My old shoulder injury recovers from overuse very quickly now, and I have not had any body issues/ailments/injuries since I started the program! WIN!
I really felt that Marcus knew when to push me and when to support me. Sometimes I had this fear that falling off the program would lead to disappointing him and that he would give up on me. Obviously he wouldn't because that it not the point of his job, but it was great for me that even with that irrational fear, I knew he would provide the support and advice that I needed each week to keep me going in right direction.
I’m genuinely so happy that I made the decision to get Marcus’ help. I feel so much better about myself and I don't think that I would have managed to find a new job and a new home without having started his program. I feel like all good things happen for a reason, and the reason in this case, is that he allowed me to find ways to love and believe in myself again.
THANK YOU MARCUS!! xxxx
