After 2 years of extreme back pain and diagnosed with sciatica, I eventually found after working with Julia, with her expertise in corrective exercise and amazing work outs, I was finally cured. I couldn't believe my back was pain free after spending time with doctors & physios who didn't help me.

I have had back problems for a long time. It?s always the same thing coming back. I engage in lots of sports and would consider myself quite physically active, so how could I be having severe tension in my back, tension that was preventing me from sleeping through the night. After having been to see a back surgeon, a chiropractor, an osteopath, a physiotherapist, and different massage therapists over a period of one year, I decided to go and see Julia. I was fed up with leaving different treatments with the hope of feeling better and then a week later finding that the problem was persisting. So I went to see Julia who asked me several questions, looked at my case differently and proceeded to treat me through massage, stretching, observation and more massaging targeting areas that the others hadn?t considered. After 2 sessions, I was finally able to sleep through the night without waking up in pain. Julia also gave me a couple of simple stretching exercises that I could do at home. The stretching, combined with the massage therapy helped me so much. Although my back pain does come back sometimes, its not nearly as severe, and at least now I can stop worrying that it may be something long term that will continue to prevent me from getting the night rest that I oh so need. Thanks so much Julia!!!

I first heard about Julia on WRG (the local radio station), when they were running a competition and the prize was several free sessions with Julia and No-treadmills. I did not win, but decided to contact Julia anyway, which turned out to be one of the best decisions that I've ever made!

I suffer from asthma and following an accident several years ago, I gained about 30 kg. I was always tired from the moment I woke-up. I remember my first session with Julia very well, as I was just about able to walk around the block. Over the months, Julia has steadily helped me to improve my energy levels; not just through exercise but also by helping me to take a good look at myself, at what I eat, why I eat and even when I go to sleep!

There is no quick way to loosing weight or feeling good; however, if you consider the amount of time that you've perhaps not been feeling so good (in my case, about 4 years) then, spending 6 months to a year putting things right is definitely a sound investment.

I used to ride horses for a living, but due to my ill health, I had not ridden a horse for about 10 years. Thanks to a lot of help from Julia, I now ride almost every day. I have not yet lost all the weight, but I feel great and wake-up full of energy and ready to go. Are you ready to change your life? If so, I strongly suggest contacting Julia.

Thanks Julia!

Julia designed and coached me through a training program from the beginning of this year to help me regain my past fitness levels and train to take part in the 2004 Geneva Triathlon.

Unfortunately I damaged the ligaments in my leg skiing. The training sessions kept me in shape despite my injury and Julia re-designed the program to help develop the muscles that support my knee as well as incorporating developmental stretching to aided my recovery.

A few months later I broke two ribs and again, Julia changed the program to accommodate this. Although my dreams for competing in the triathlon were dashed, we have continued to train together up to the present day with my goal to take part in the 2005 Geneva Triathlon.

Now, I am running three times a week and when the weather warms up I hope to start swimming and cycling again. My posture has improved and I am feeling fitter than I have in years. Julia has great motivational skills, enthusiasm, knowledge of her subject and a sense of humour that makes getting up at 6.30 in the morning for her session worthwhile. I have left behind group aerobic and gym classes due to a lack of supervision and guidance which Julia painstakingly provides. She has been the best investment I have ever made in my health and fitness.

Having reached middle age and not very athletic up to this point, there was a very surprising change in my attitude and competence with physical activities, having started training with Julia approximately two years ago. I've worked with her both in small groups and in individual sessions and both were equally beneficial. Today I am better coordinated, have greater control over the inevitable weight gain, stronger back muscles that have virtually eliminated a longstanding lower back ache and much more stamina. In short, a new lease on life! Thanks Julia.

When I hired Julia as a personal trainer I wasn?t much interested in her nutritional expertise but very quickly came to see that for Julia it?s all connected ? food, exercise, sense of well being and now after some time I appreciate how much she knows about so many things related to diet, the body and how to take care of oneself. She?s been steadfast, seen me through my more and less committed times and by now I view her absolutely as my partner, as completely professional, knowledgeable good natured, patient and helpful!

I can personally recommend her. Julia designed an individual fitness program for me which addressed specific requirements and I am very happy with the outcome. If you are seriously seeking results, challenge yourself and give Julia a try.

I decided to contact Julia after coming back from England at the beginning of the year. I was feeling fat, tired and really under the weather due to sampling all the delicious goodies in England and not doing any exercise for the past year or so! NOT A GOOD COMBINATION. Julia was offering free sessions for the month of January and being a cheapskate I decided to give it a go. It is now almost a year later and I can honestly say that she has transformed my life (no I am not part of a sect!). I am 8 kilos lighter and much fitter than I used to be i.e. I can now run up several flights of stairs without begging for an oxygen mask, furthermore, I have gone down 2 dress sizes and I have an overall sense of well being. She combines good fitness training skills with an excellent sense of humour and is very motivating, she also adapts her fitness program to the individual. As a result of meeting Julia, I really enjoy training outdoors and sports is no longer a dirty word!
