Hi, I’m Lesley - a certified IIN Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, Life Coach, and Culinary-trained Chef. My path into wellness wasn’t a straight line; it was a lived journey that shaped the way I coach today.
 

I was born in Scotland and raised in South Africa after my family moved when I was six. For 16 years, I built and ran a successful recruitment business, but something deeper kept calling me toward food, health, and personal growth. I trained as a chef part-time, completed a vegan chef qualification during lockdown, and eventually moved to London to work as a private chef with high-profile clients. I loved the creativity and the intensity, but the long, demanding hours took their toll.
 

During that time, I lost touch with my own health. Weight gain, low energy, disrupted sleep, stress, and food-focused work left me feeling disconnected from my body and my confidence. I knew I needed a change, not just a diet or a workout plan, but a whole new approach.
 

That’s when I turned to wellness fully.
 

I dove into personal training, nutrition coaching, life coaching, and most importantly, completed my IIN Health Coach certification - a qualification that profoundly shaped my understanding of holistic wellbeing. I used everything I learned to rebuild myself from the inside out. No extremes. No quick fixes. Just nourishment, movement, mindset, and sustainable habits.

That personal transformation is the foundation of how I guide others today​​

Today, I combine all my expertise - the science, the chef’s practicality, the fitness foundation, the mindset tools, and the holistic IIN approach - to help people feel strong, energised, and grounded in their own lives.
 

I’m London-based, and through my online work, I support people around the world in building strength, energy, and sustainable wellbeing. When I’m not working, I’m usually in the kitchen experimenting, walking in nature, lifting weights, spending time with family and friends, or travelling and exploring new places.
 

If you’re ready to reset, reconnect, and build a way of living that feels good and lasts, I’m here to guide you - one simple, powerful step at a time.
