When I first decided to get a personal trainer, I was a little apprehensive, wondering what I was getting myself into. I imagined some kind of drill sergeant screaming at me. But when I came across Davinia's website and met her for the first time, I knew I'd made the right choice! Davinia was so friendly and bubbly that I felt at ease straight away, and she totally gets what a female wants from a personal trainer. She's so positive and encouraging too, that I found myself wanting to change the way I looked at exercise and food rather than just doing it because that was what I was being told to do. I began to see results quickly, and found that my body shape was beginning to change. When I first started training with Davinia, my confidence was at a bit of a low. Being a life coach too, Davinia realised this straight away, and helped me with that too. Her personality is so infectious that you can't help being a more positive person around her. It sounds quite cheesy, but I always looked at my sessions with her as a bit of sunshine in my week!

Thank you so much Davinia for all your encouragement and support. I am in such a good place and its mainly because of you. I finally feel focused and know that I will now get to where I want to be –size 10 here we come. I can’t believe I have already lost a dress size in a month. It is amazing. My new healthy eating regime you have set me is really working, especially the no carbs after lunch is making a big difference. Thank you for all your helps and support this last month. I know by Jan I will be a size 10 and I am so happy about it. This is the first fitness and eating regime that has worked for me and I am really enjoying it. Thank you

I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help since May. I have just brought a suit for work and it makes me feel like a million dollars. I would not have been able to buy it if you had not helped and supported me. Thank you so much

Davinia is the best personal trainer that I have worked with and I have worked with a few now over the years. The best thing about Davinia is that she really cares about you as a person. So many personal trainers just give you a workout and do not help you with the issues behind why you have put on so much weight. I have been struggling with food for years. I have consistently binged on food all my life. I will have a few good days of eating and then go and mess it up with a massive Take away and then a tub of ice cream and a couple of chocolate bars. However, having had coaching and training with Davinia i am now associating junk food as to something that is going to make me feel awful and I have not binged for 5months and feel far more in control. I have lost 1 stone 8lbs and only have another 6lbs to lose until I have reached my target goal. I am so happy. I am going to be a size 10 for my 30th birthday after all. If you want to change your life then you must have personal training and weight management coaching with Davinia. It has changed my life. Thank you Davinia.

I started working with Davinia about 1 year ago after I had my first baby. I wanted to shed the excess weight and recreate my body. Davinia has helped me lose over 3 stone and 14% body fat (I am now in a healthy range), but more importantly she has given me my confidence back and taught me that the scale is not everything and even sometimes lies! :) She never gives up on me, even if I feel like giving up on myself sometimes. She is motivating, encouraging, warm, lovely and exceptionally understanding. Unlike a lot of personal trainers (I suspect), Davinia is a gem as she "gets"food and body image issues and helps you work through the emotional, not just the physical, which I believe makes her an even more fabulous personal trainer and life coach. She has also inspired me to become a personal trainier (something I have always wanted to do but felt I couldn't because of limiting beliefs) and this autumn I am taking the first steps to realising this dream. I am smaller than before I got pregnant and much more fit and know that she will get to where I want to be before too long- something I have never been able to do on my own. I just hope that I can be as good a trainer as her one day.

Your sessions have completely changed my life and I just wish i had found you five years ago. I cannot believe how differently I think and feel about food after our coaching sessions. Food was always the enemy but I am now seeing it in a different light. I am not dreading going out with my husband and friends for dinner now and I feel in control. It is so liberating. I have lost 7lbs so far in the last 3 weeks and I know I will now lose the last stone that I have to lose. I am looking forward to our bootcamp next week. Thanks Davinia with all my heart.

Hi Davinia, Thanks so much for such a wonderful session on self-esteem last time. The mirror work has really opened up my eyes to how i was speaking to myself and you will be pleased to know that I am now changing this. Your sessions are making such a difference to me – thank you.

When I first started personal training with Davinia, i really thought one session a week would be enough... but personal training with Davinia is addictive. I now have 3 sessions a week with her and i would have more if she could fit me in... the results are brilliant. In 10 weeks i have lost 1 stone 4 lbs. My face is back to normal and my baby weight has nearly all gone. I am so excited to be returning back to work slim again.... I am the fittest i have ever been too and i have so much energy

Hi Davinia, just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for helping me with my crisp cravings. The NLP/coaching session we had last month worked, I have not even had the urge to buy or eat them. I have already lost 7lbs just by giving up my 8 packets a day. I still cannot believe I ate that many. Thanks, you are a great coach and I will be recommending you to all my friends
