I've been a Personal Trainer for over 17 years, incorporating nutrition coaching, weight management, massage and sports therapy, as well as teaching yoga for the last six years. I was working sporadic hours, teaching yoga classes at the end of the day, making days long and extremely tiring. There had to be a more productive way of doing this!

As I say to my clients “Train smarter, not harder!” - I knew I needed to “Work smarter, not harder”. I was in no doubt that I lacked self-belief, even starting to question if I was actually any good at what I do! But I was holding back, I wasn’t going for my dreams, goals, all these ideas I had fizzing away inside me - whilst watching others stride ahead with those ideas I had years ago!

I needed to change! .......Enter Lynsey Hanratty Coaching!

Working with Lynsey meant I started to understand my business better - as a business rather than an expensive hobby, and accepting myself as an “entrepreneur”! I started taking myself and my business more seriously - believing and accepting “I am the expert” - and more importantly, appreciating and knowing my own self-worth. This has allowed me to structure my prices differently and be stronger with enforcing rules regarding payment and cancellations.

I began to improve my relationship with money and understand my client base better - identifying my “ideal” client has helped me focus on the services I offer, and only offer services that are PROFITABLE. I have 100% self-belief now, I have the confidence to go for my ideas, goals and dreams, but also now with structure and focus – asking and understanding my “why?” and not being afraid to charge my worth!

I am no longer stuck in “contemplation” - I am now taking “action”! During my time working with Lynsey, I hosted my first Wellbeing Workshop, where I collaborated with another colleague, and it was a great success. I am hosting my first Yoga Retreat later this year. Within two days of sending invitations to my existing client base, it had sold out! I am excited that this will be the first of many, with an annual calendar of regular events and retreats!

Thank YOU Lynsey for helping me grow!
