Proof That the Right Changes Actually Work
The recipe for feeling like yourself again
_edited.png)
A full scoop of energy
So you can get through the day without feeling like you need to lie down the second you walk through the door.
A generous squeeze of sharp thinking
For actually remembering what you were about to say in that meeting and finally putting an end to the mid-sentence brain freeze.
A dash of trust in your body
Because it’s not something to fix, shrink, or fight. it’s something to live in, fully and fabulously!
Mix well. Enjoy daily.
No complicated instructions required
And if you’re wondering what this actually looks like? Here’s how it’s played out for others. While client details are kept private, the outcomes speak for themselves.
Before:
I was an exhausted mum of 2 who had had a couple of big life events that were not great. My energy levels were terrible and I was stuck in a cycle of being exhausted and needing sugar. I had brain fog and was frustrated at not being able to be present with my kids as I was so shattered.
In short, I felt dysfunctional! I wanted a better understanding of how to feel better and to not crash out so much.
From exhausted with terrible energy and stuck in a cycle of needing sugar to being more in tune with her body with consistent energy, to the benefit of her and her small humans.
I feel so much more in tune with my body, with whether I’m hungry or just bored and what foods best suit the situations I find myself in in order to support my mood and energy. I no longer crash out every day at 3pm and my energy levels are consistently higher - I would never have thought this was achievable!
Wilma is the best cheerleader you will ever find. She listens and is so quick to be able to pinpoint issues and provide support. She made me feel confident and having her to be accountable to really helped me through the process. She’s straight talking and kind and left me with a mini Wilma voice encouraging me to take no nonsense and be compassionate to myself.
Wilma is nothing short of a legend in my opinion - if I could have a mini version of her in my handbag I would! She’s a cheerleader and fierce advocate for building you up.
If you had told me I would finish this process clued up on what to eat to not feel exhausted at the same time every day, and to be so much more in tune to myself I’d have been gobsmacked. I’m much more compassionate about my relationship with food and more imaginative in what I eat.
My kids and brain benefit from me no longer having fog and being so much more energetic. Thanks, so much Wilma

Before I began working with Wilma I felt lost. I wasn't 'me' anymore. I felt exhausted, both mentally and physically, and I knew something had to change. I just wasn't sure where to start - it felt overwhelming even to think about it.
I felt tired all the time and didn't have the energy to focus on myself at all. My children, husband, home and business were the areas that got my attention and I came a distant 5th at best. My relationship with my husband was suffering and I could feel myself becoming resentful of his ability to focus on work and the family but also make enough time for himself and his hobbies. I realised I had no hobbies. On the most basic level, I was barely finding time to feed myself and this meant that I wasn't getting the right energy into my body. I would snack throughout the day and had serious peaks and troughs with my energy levels
From feeling 'lost', exhausted, overwhelmed and barely feeding herself to a much happier person with balanced energy to do all the things.
Working with Wilma was a real 'whole life' experience for me. She felt like a friend to whom I could talk openly and honestly, without judgement. She'd experienced my problems and so could easily relate and help me to put manageable steps in place that really made a big difference.
Making a few changes to my diet meant that my energy levels are more balanced throughout the day. We discussed a good bedtime routine so that I have a proper wind down before bed and get enough sleep.
We looked at ways that I could get more time for myself without feeling that other aspects of my life were suffering. since working with her I've made more time for friends, I'm a much happier person with the energy to do all of these things.
Wilma was the perfect person to help me. She is open, friendly, warm and funny! The sessions with her were relaxed and, as I mentioned, just like chatting with a friend. From the outset, I felt completely comfortable with her and that is her very special gift.
She is like a breath of fresh air and totally lifted the weight off my shoulders that I felt had been weighing me down for such a long time. She is not judgemental, but will also tell you what you need to hear. She won't tell you to take all the nice bits out of your diet - instead, she'll help you to balance your plate so that you are getting everything you need, including the sweet stuff!

Before:
Erratic moods & energy levels inhibited my ability to perform consistently at work and at home. I found I often didn't have the stamina to get through the day. I have a lifetime of bad habits to continue to fight against.
From a lifetime of bad habits with erratic moods and energy to understanding what her body is telling her and finding pleasure in taking care of herself
Working with Wilma was the lifeline I needed to pull myself out of the mire.
I had been consistently unwell for months (years) after having my children and a huge amount of apathy had been established over my personal well-being. Nothing can change when there is a feeling of powerlessness. With Wilma’s help, I was able to exert some control over my health and take time to consider where changes to my habits would be beneficial.
She was supportive, professional and informative and I felt she could completely relate to me and the precarious balancing of my children’s needs with my own.
I particularly thrived off her energy when I was feeling low and used that as a catalyst to keep moving forward.
I have learned a lot over the weeks and I am more considerate of my health and more accountable too.
In the past where I neglected my diet, I now feel I want to understand what my body is telling me and respond positively. Aside from feeling virtuous when I have a good day, I also find that I experience pleasure in taking care to look after me too. A gorgeous smoothie or a nice wholesome meal sets me up for the next one and it’s a feel-good act which drives self-care onwards.
I thoroughly recommend Wilma. It has been an invaluable learning experience for me.

Before:
I was feeling helplessly exhausted all the time. I knew I needed to make some dietary changes, but felt like I needed support to do this in a way that didn't feed into diet culture and negative eating patterns/thought cycles I had experienced before. I felt constantly in a state of exhaustion and overwhelm. I felt like I was failing myself and my kids and missing out on vital parts of life. I had an idea of what I wanted, but felt incapable of getting there.
From a constant state of exhaustion and overwhelm to trusting her body, listening in and giving it what it needs
Wilma has a unique ability to empathise, validate but then move you on! Her energy and strength is contagious, leaving you feeling seen, heard and empowered. She is to the point, no bullshit - which opens up a space to very quickly be able to share honestly and trust her in return. Her vast knowledge and down to earth vibe made her the perfect person for me to work with.
Working with Wilma has been the first step in what, for me, will be an on-going journey away from diet culture back towards trusting myself and my body. I think before I started I secretly hoped for a magic solution to the exhaustion and body hate. Instead what I got was an invitation to tune in, listen, learn and tweak. Which was pretty magical in itself! I feel so much more empowered to give myself what I need.
Wilma has picked me up off the floor of exhaustion and overwhelm and given me the tools to keeping taking steps forward - whatever that looks like on any given day. I never doubted her skill, knowledge or care. She went above and beyond on a few occasions to support me and I'm so grateful.

Before:
I was a shattered Mum with two young kids (5 and 3) who was trying to 'do it all'. From the outside I probably looked like I did - I had a great job, the kids are pretty happy and balanced, I always said yes to social events when I could. But I was feeling rubbish about myself and resentful about the sacrifices I had made since the kids arrived. I went through the motions but I wasn't loving life.
Life was lived from one sugar high to the next, underestimating the rest I needed and overestimating the amount of energy I needed to give to others at the cost of filling up my own tank.
I reached for Deliveroo and a glass of wine whenever I felt run down rather than fuelling my body with food that would actually perk me up. Seeing rest as something unnecessary. Valuing myself by what I achieved in a day. Not making time for breakfast.
In reality I had just put myself to the bottom of the pile on all fronts since having kids.
FROM BEING BOTTOM OF THE PILE, NOT LOVING LIFE AND FEELING RUBBISH ABOUT HERSELF TO A SHIFT IN MINDSET, REALLY ENGAGING & LOVING LIFE AND FEELING LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON
Whilst the focus of the coaching and support was nutrition, the impact was so much wider than that. Fuelling myself properly meant I was able to function at a much higher capacity and value myself, my needs and my time so much more. My mood and self-esteem just lifted. Since the sessions began I got a new job which I love and we've restructured how my husband and I juggle the kids so I am able to have more time to myself.
Wilma really shifted my mindset. Since working with her I feel a different person. I really engage with life and love it (toddler meltdowns and school admin aside). I drink water, eat delicious food that gives me energy and feel so much more upbeat. What blows my mind a bit is I don't really deny myself anything. Instead I have added in things that make an enormous difference - water, rest, time to myself, more green stuff, breakfast. I regularly think "What would Wilma say" but rather than her thoughts/options creating any kind of guilt or shame, she feels like a little internal champion, cheering me on and encouraging me to get the most out of my life.

Before:
I was irritable, lacking energy, had a low libido, irregular bowel movements, eating badly, in a cycle of terrible eating habits generally didn’t feel like my best self
From irritable with low energy and stuck in a cycle of eating habits that weren’t great to hugely improved energy, increased self-respect and wanting to feel as good as she could.
Wilma really helped me be more mindful about what I was eating. Following her programme has hugely improved my overall energy levels but really importantly increased my self-respect around what I am eating now. I had very low energy and was pretty irritable and knew I needed to change something for myself and my family.
I found that although I wasn’t the perfect client, Wilma gave me the building blocks to make sure that even if I was only getting the basics right, that was enough and I found that once that was in place I had more motivation for the bigger steps and it was a positive knock on effect to want to do more, to feel as good as I could. Also feeling more energetic means I am fitting much more movement in.
All in all, it’s been a very positive experience and I would highly recommend working with Wilma to anyone feeling worn out. She has deep knowledge and experience in nutrition and wellbeing as well as being ‘in it’ with you as a mum of a young child. She will listen and encourage you with a firm but fair approach which I loved.
Thank you, Wilma.

These women aren’t unicorns. They don’t have superhuman willpower, private chefs, or extra hours in the day.
They learned to trust their bodies, tune in to what they actually need, and make changes that fit their real lives. Getting more energy, clearer thinking, and feeling like themselves again.
