1:1 Coaching

Feel strong. Fuel better. Finally stop overthinking food and fitness!

Let’s build the healthiest, happiest you

Working onboard or managing a busy, unpredictable schedule can make it feel impossible to stay consistent with your health. My 1:1 coaching is designed for people like you: yacht crew, entrepreneurs, shift workers, busy mums or anyone whose lifestyle doesn’t fit neatly into a 9–5 routine!

I help yacht crew and other busy professionals build strength, fitness and sustainable healthy habits through a flexible, plant-based plan that adapts to life on board without live workouts, strict diets or tracking every calorie.

I understand what it’s like when your schedule changes every week, your days blur together and your routines fall apart every time work gets busy so we’ll build something that work with it.

👀 Does this sound like you?

You’ve tried to “get back on track” before and looked up plans, tracked macros, downloaded guides and yet somehow, it never quite sticks. Going it alone is so tough and you get thrown off after week two…

Maybe you:

• Feel intimidated by the gym but have no idea where to start at home (or boat!) either
• Know you want to eat more nutritious meals but keep falling into your 5 minute favourites or takeaways
• Have found some form of exercise that you like but struggle to build any consistency or see progress, it’s another thing to think about after a long day working
• Want to feel stronger, not smaller, but old diet-culture thoughts keep creeping in and you’re hungry all the time
• Feel tired, sore and unsure if you’re fuelling or recovering properly
• Have goals, but between work, travel and low energy, you just don’t know how to reach them with no structure or accountability
• Know you need more holistic support than a once-a-week PT session with a coach that understands where you’re coming from

My role as your coach

I help yacht crew build strength, fitness and healthy habits through a flexible plan that adapts to life on board so they can finally see results that last beyond the season.

My 12-week coaching programme brings structure to your nutrition, workouts and daily habits to feel stronger, more energised and in control with a coach in your pocket that follows you wherever you are in the world

❌ No strict rules
❌No gym required
❌ No dietary labels (just eat more plants!)
❌ No all-or-nothing quick fixes

What’s included:

🌱Nutrition

• A flexible, plant-forward approach tailored to your goals, preferences and lifestyle
• Recipe inspiration and prep ideas from a chef who knows what’s realistic (and has to taste good!)
• Support navigating food guilt, social eating and “all or nothing” habits
• Guidance on fuelling for energy, recovery and strength to get the most out of your training

👟Fitness

• Training plans for you and your goals: bodyweight, minimal equipment, gym/home/yacht friendly workouts
• Running plans to build endurance and confidence at your own pace
• Structured 4-week training blocks that align with your progress and schedule

💚Lifestyle

• Habit support for sleep, stress and motivation
• Weekly check-ins and feedback forms to track your progress
• Monthly coaching calls to reflect, plan and stay accountable
• WhatsApp support between check-ins for ongoing guidance and feedback

💬 What coaching actually looks like

Online coaching doesn’t mean live workouts, endless Zoom calls, tracking every calorie or being left to figure it all out alone

It’s flexible structure and consistent support that fit around your life, not another thing you have to squeeze into it

• You’ll train on your own schedule, whether that’s a gym session, a run when you’re in port or a short bodyweight workout between shifts
• You’ll check in weekly through the app to share your progress, wins and challenges and I’ll give feedback, adapt your plan and keep you accountable
• You’ll have messaging access for questions and support, so you’re never left wondering what to do next
• We’ll have a monthly coaching call to reflect on your progress, talk through any barriers and plan for what’s ahead

I know people can make it look so easy! Sign up to that gym, book your weekly PT and smash your weekly food shop. Whereas on board as soon as you sign up to the gym you’ll be changing port, your PT session will clash with being on watch and maybe you’re not the chef so you have a lot less control over your food.

After years working on yachts, I understand how unpredictable crew life can be with long hours, limited space and constantly changing routines. That’s why I coach differently: I help you make progress even when your schedule isn’t perfect.

🔁 How it works

We’ll work together in 12-week blocks, divided into three stages:

1. Foundations: master the basics of nutrition, training and recovery
2. Integration: apply them in your daily life, adapting around real challenges
3. Optimisation: refine your routine, build consistency and feel confident maintaining progress

After your first 12 weeks, you can choose to continue with biweekly coaching for ongoing progress, accountability and support as you build independence. By the end of this first block, you’ll have the confidence to make balanced choices wherever you are without relying on willpower or rigid plans. You’ll feel stronger, more energised, and finally able to sustain habits that fit your lifestyle

Why me?

I’m passionate about helping people make positive, sustainable changes to their health without the pressure to be perfect.

I love encouraging people to enjoy movement and exercise and find what feels good for them. We’re all so different but for all of us: investing in your health means investing in your happiness!

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I have to be vegan or vegetarian to do this?

A: Definitely not, but you should be open to eating more plants! Whether you’re a full veggie, a flexitarian or just curious about eating more plant-based, we’ll make it work for you

Q: Will you give me a strict meal plan?

A: It’s all up to you, you’ll get tasty recipes to suit you and guidance of what to look for when you’re not the one doing the cooking. I find education and inspiration works better than a strict meal plan when you feel you need to hit every meal

Q: I’ve tried programs before and always fallen off. How is this different?

A: Most plans ask you to change your life to fit the programme. I help you build a plan that fits your life. This means no pressure to be perfect just a steady rebuild that you can actually stick to

Q: Do you track weight or body fat?

A: That’s totally up to you. If tracking weight or measurements helps you feel more in control of your progress, we can include it but there’s no pressure from me. Health is so much more than the scale. Your energy, strength, mood and consistency are often better indicators of what’s actually working

Q: What if I have specific goals (like running, strength, or energy)?

A: Perfect. We tailor your plan around your personal goals and lifestyle. Whether it’s nailing your first 5K, doing a push-up or simply feeling better in your skin, we’ll get you there together

Testimonials

Millie : “I loved working with Hilary on both her individually tailored course and her group Plant Powered January course! Hilary is very knowledgeable and has a lot of tasty and not too complicated recipe ideas which were fun to try out. I eat a generally flexible plant based diet usually, but find myself eating the same meals over and over, so it was great to try out some new ones and to find ways to make my usual meals more balanced and nutritious. I particularly enjoyed the batch cooking recipes Hilary provided as it meant my lunches were delicious and all I had to do was heat them up. Would absolutely recommend working with Hilary whether you want a complete dietary overhaul, or just some new ideas of well balanced meals to try out. Both her one on one package or the group courses have been great.”

Carola : “I cannot recommend Hilary as a health coach enough! She has been an absolute game-changer for me. Her expertise and guidance have helped me make significant changes to my eating habits. She is incredibly supportive, encouraging, and knowledgeable, and has provided me with practical and personalized strategies for improving my nutrition. I feel more energized, confident, and empowered in my health journey, and love all the great recipes she provided along with shopping lists. If you’re looking to make positive and lasting changes to your health, I highly suggest working with Hilary. It’s truly been a transformative experience for me.”

Group Programme Participant

Faye : “The plant powered programme was brilliant. The information provided was succinct yet thorough and I learned loads, not just about plant powered living, but nutrition overall. Hilary was fantastic and catered towards my specific dietary requirements (gluten free), ensuring she provided me with alternatives. I’ve learned so much and have definitely, permanently, cut down the amount of meat I eat.”
