Testimonials

Over the past 2 years, Jenny’s Yoga classes have been one of the highlights of my week. I have tried Yoga before but never really felt that it was for me; however, Jenny’s classes have certainly changed my mind.  The classes provide just the right balance between dynamic movement and stretching and are the perfect antidote to being hunched over a desk all day. Jenny is happy to adapt her classes to any particular needs and requests, and always provides suggestions of how to modify a particular movement.  As well as being thoroughly enjoyable in their own right, the classes also provide a great contrast to other forms of exercise such as running, and offer a much-needed opportunity to stretch and move in a different way. The relaxation at the end is also always much appreciated and a rare chance to completely switch off! I would definitely recommend these classes.

You wouldn’t believe how much learning to stand, walk and breathe correctly can lower your pain levels! Since joining the class I can stand for longer and my balance has improved. Before joining the class, I couldn’t get down on the floor or back up again without help – now I can!”

The yoga classes help you understand how to alleviate pain and improve or maintain your mobility as you get older.

“I love attending virtual classes with Jenny, so good to be able to participate in a class from the comfort of your own home, but at the same time feel like part of a group. The pace of sessions is always good, with a variety of focus and themes throughout the block, and there is always an alternative or two given to accommodate class newcomers, or those with physical limitations. The element of relaxation leaves me feeling mentally lighter, physically taller and ready to take on whatever life throws at me for the rest of the week”

 “I joined Jenny’s group earlier this year. At that point I had just had spinal surgery. I have several serious chronic health conditions and I thought I would not be able to do much in the way of physical activity again. I have always been a physically active person in the past and I must admit to struggling with my mental health because of the restrictions I have to live with.

Finding Jenny, and the two groups I attend, has had an immensely positive impact on my life. First and foremost, Jenny is a very warm and friendly teacher. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to research the best way to improve movement and wellbeing for each class member and any disabilities they have.

The classes are such an important part of my week now and I really look forward to them. I feel the classes are just as vital as any medications I have to take. They have contributed to my happiness and positivity and I would not hesitate to recommend them. ”

 “Active-Eat back care workshop really helped the way I feel about my back. As I am getting older my back has been giving me more problems and I hurt it about 6 months prior to the course, needing physiotherapy. I have a very active job and I felt fearful about my back pain affecting my ability to work.

Jenny’s workshop taught me to appreciate my back and what it can do and also what I can do to take care of it. I have incorporated some of the movements she showed us into my daily yoga practice and this, I feel, has made my back stronger.

I have had back niggles and even more serious back issues since the workshop but I have been able to sort out those issues by going back to the excellent follow-up videos Jenny sent us and being more mindful about doing the exercises. This has kept my back moving and helped it to recover quicker. I now no longer feel scared about my back thanks to Active-Eat. I would highly recommend her workshops and would go to more myself. ”

 “Jenny combines technical expertise with an incredibly caring and kind nature. She has an amazing understanding of how the body and mind works which she combines with a tailored approach for each client having observed, listened to and got to understand each person as a unique individual.

She uses an holistic approach with her understanding of how body mind and spirit are connected to give us a feeling of well-being.

After a session with Jenny (be that an online relaxation session, a 1 to 1 session or a group session) I always feel flexible, relaxed and also very positive.

I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Jenny. She has worked wonders with me for which I am very grateful. I feel 20 years younger!.”

I would definitely recommend Active-Eat for many reasons including the warmth and understanding of Jenny and her flexibility, knowledge and experience.  I enjoyed our sessions and felt like I got a lot out of them.  I hadn’t gone to Jenny for weight loss but I naturally dropped half a stone over the course of a couple of months and 6 months later I have kept that weight off which has been a bonus for me. Thank you Jenny! xx

Since starting with Active-Eat I feel more in control and feel much more confident. I have type 2 diabetes and I felt that I needed to get my blood sugars under control and felt unable to do so on my own. I was attracted by the support and nutritional advice on offer with Active-Eat. Once I began working with Jenny I felt able to admit to my eating problems and confident of the help and advice I received. I feel I have made almost permanent changes to my eating habits and I’m very happy I came to Active-Eat for help. Working with Jenny has been brilliant! The support and knowledge available to help with food problems has been amazing!

THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES FOR YOUR HELP AND CONFIDENTIALITY! Your confidentiality meant that I could trust you and therefore felt able to admit to all m eating sins and the problems I have with food!!!!

My experiences with Active-Eat were absolutely life-changing.  Not to mention mind, body and figure-changing!  For me personally, it wasn’t entirely a lack of knowledge, I’d always been interested in healthy eating but like so many people– I’d never fully figured out how to integrate it into my own schedule and lifestyle.  Additionally, I have a history of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which is not a big problem to me like it was 10 years ago when I got it, but it was still an important health factor that I knew could be positively influenced by a change of lifestyle.  Every time I’d adopted a very healthy regime, my symptoms have always improved: the problem was sustaining it.

Enter Active-Eat’s Jenny.  She is not just a lovely, friendly, bubbly young woman (who rather impressively used to be in the GB youth squad for canoeing), she is also deeply knowledgeable about every single aspect of eating and the kinds of habits that people may have got into– and how to alter them practically.  Yes, those are definitely the buzz words for me that sum up my experience with Jenny:  practicality, ingenuity, knowledge and motivation.  From the first session Jenny’s attention to my own personal needs and her gentle, practical methods for inspiring lasting changes in me were very evident.  She never espouses a huge and fast change in any area, rather, she gradually takes you off the things that may not be helping you, and introduces clever and totally yummy things into your diet that will really help you to feel fit, fab and absolutely glow

I cannot recommend Active-Eat highly enough.  My Chronic Fatigue symptoms are completely under control, I haven’t had a cold or a virus (which I used to get all the time) since I started working with Jenny (about 6 months ago).  My nails, which had been flaky since primary school (despite an already well-developed interest in wholegrains and organic foods)– have grown long and strong and beautiful– I can’t believe it!  My powers of concentration, energy levels and mood are all greatly improved.  I have lost weight without ever feeling hungry once, and everywhere I go people tell me how well I am looking.

If you are thinking of investing in some nutritional support– this is the best way I can think of for doing it.  You get a beautiful, bubbly helpful, well-qualified and experienced young lady straight into your home computer/ mobile phone in the simplest way possible: over Skype.  Having read lots of books by LA and Harley Street nutritionists, I genuinely believe that Active-Eat’s services offer a viable alternative that will produce similar, if not better results.  If you can afford to do this and are hesitating at all– waste no more time.  You’ll only need to do one series of consultations with Jenny and your life will be improved forever.

All sessions were very good and informative, excellent information gained.

Jenny’s recipes are so quick, easy and tasty; they are great to fit into a busy schedule.

I am still doing well, lost over 30lbs this year (July 2014).

Thank you for all your help. It is a great relief to be able to talk about food problems and sugar problems with someone who does not go into overdrive and understands AND helps!!! THANK YOU.

hallelujah finally you’re going to be eating proper food rather than starving and snacking.

Buzz words for me that sum up my experience with Jenny: practicality, ingenuity, knowledge and motivation. From the first session Jenny’s attention to my own personal needs and her gentle, practical methods for inspiring lasting changes in me were very evident.

My experiences with Active-Eat were absolutely life-changing. Not to mention mind, body and figure-changing! I cannot recommend Active-Eat highly enough.
