"Working with The Shift Project has changed my life at the most fundamental level. This wasn’t about a tick-box exercise or quick fixes - it was about understanding my mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing together.
​
I started this coaching feeling overwhelmed, low in energy, and stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk around food and my body, particularly in a post-partum phase.
While the weight didn’t shift immediately, the changes in how I ate, my energy levels, and my mindset were significant - and that fuelled me to keep going.
What made this experience different was the one-to-one support and understanding the ‘why’ behind every change. Helby laid everything out clearly and provided gentle accountability that helped me build habits I could actually sustain. I now feel empowered, confident, and excited about what comes next".

"When I started with The Shift Project, I was in perimenopause and had accepted the status quo - I didn’t think much could change. I was so pleased to discover that the approach was practical, doable, and not a big tax on my time.
​
The biggest shift for me was realising that I wasn’t eating enough of the right things during the day. Once we addressed that, my energy improved and my weight started to shift.
​
Working with Helby, we focused on small, manageable steps rather than trying to change everything at once.
There was no judgement - just solutions that worked for me. It’s also been great to see the learnings rub off on my teenagers, who are now more aware and making different choices around food."

"Before I started with The Shift Project, I felt very stuck in a rut without a clear path forward.
The biggest shift for me was around my mindset and behaviour - developing an awareness I hadn’t had before.
We focused on intentional, realistic changes that moved at my pace. Simple shifts that see me having more nourishing food, reduced evening snacking, and have made a huge difference to my energy and how I feel.
​
I used to rely on Uber Eats several nights a week, but now I genuinely enjoy trying new recipes and finding ways to add nutrients into my meals - often in less time than it would take for delivery to arrive.
​
What felt different about working with Helby at The Shift Project was how tailored it was to my real life. There was no judgement, just honest conversations, achievable steps, and a focus on understanding my behaviour.
I now feel more in control, more energised, and excited to keep going."
