  • I love Isobel’s classes and her Runner Bean fitness retreats. The annual retreat brings like minded women together for fitness, food and frolicks, with laughter and fascinating chats.

    Had a wonderful week in Northern Ibiza which Isobel organised so very well. It had a little bit of everything in just the right amount. The week had plenty of variety regarding classes, excursions, teachers and food choices. It was easy, comfortable and carefree. There was no pressure whatsoever. I felt very much part of a lovely group of ladies who were supportive and so much fun. Thank you all x

    Aside from being a genuinely wonderful person, Isobel has a unique strength in understanding both the body AND the mind. This combination is what makes her personal training sessions so effective, enjoyable and personalised. Her Stretchologie group class is also fantastic – I look forward to it every week. Every muscle in my body is lengthened and stretched, and each class feels fresh and different. There is nothing else like it in my opinion. Highly recommend!

  • I had the pleasure of being one of the lucky individuals to attend Isobel’s retreat in Ibiza. A little nervous spending the week with a bunch of ladies I didn’t know but with Isobel and my friend Cara attending, I felt brave. I desperately needed a week to shut off from the noise of life and focus on me, something I rarely get to do. I had the most magical week… It surpassed all of my expectations and delivered on so many personal levels. The most amazing chef, Remko creating the most delicious, beautiful, and healthy food. Accommodation; stunning with the most wonderful staff looking after us. The right mix of activities; yoga, stretching, breath work, sound baths, massage, meditating, journaling, hiking, sun, swimming, eating, exploring, socialising, and connecting with myself and those around me. Most of all, I met a group of wonderful ladies with special friendships made. Isobel is clearly an expert at bringing likeminded, yet different people together. The week was truly magical, something I will always remember and treasure. I loved it – thinking, sharing, laughing (and I mean belly laughs), crying, healing, growing, and spending time with special people in a special place was truly tonic for my soul! I won’t mention the mosquitoes…little buggers. Thank you, Isobel xxx

    I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Isobel. From our very first session, she instantly made me feel welcome and comfortable. Her warmth and empathy created a safe space for me to open up and discuss my concerns. Isobel really listened and understood the areas where I needed help. She provided insightful feedback and offered productive strategies to change my thought processes. These new perspectives have been invaluable in my personal growth. Additionally, Isobel equipped me with helpful materials to keep me on track between sessions. Her support has been instrumental in my journey, and I am incredibly grateful for her guidance. I highly recommend Isobel to anyone seeking a supportive and encouraging therapist or life coach. Starting this journey with her has been one of the best decisions I’ve made, and now, things are finally falling into place. Thank you, Isobel!

    If you’re sick of doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome you need Isobel in your life! I’ve just finished my 10 minute morning stretch and breath work that she recommended and all the anxiousness about the amount of what I have to do today is replaced with calm and I’m full of gratitude and excitement for the day ahead. I’ve been doing this for a few weeks now and this change has genuinely altered how I approach each day. I’m so much calmer and any hurdles are easier to navigate. Previous attempts to change my behaviour went out of the window as they were unrealistic. Isobel listened to what I was struggling with and suggested something that she knew could specifically help me. This small shift has had a big impact. It’s given me the space and to reflect and decide to look after myself better. I feel less achy, have been eating better, sleeping better and have booked into the osteopath to sort out my wonky shoulder (something that’s been on my list for 8 months!!). I wholeheartedly recommend Isobel and A body for life if you do want to make a positive change. I have recognised I have my body (and mind) for life and want to make it the best it can be! Thank you Isobel x

  • I had ongoing back pain, having suffered for approximately 2 years, with experience of seeing different chiropractors, physios and taking strong prescribed pain killers! I was physically and mentally in a bad place, feeling no one was interested or could help me! I was referred to Isobel by a close friend. OMG, I cannot thank my friend or Isobel enough. After the first treatment I knew I’d found someone who could help me and literally cried tears of relief at finally finding someone who was genuinely interested in helping and educating me, rather than making a quick buck! Isobel is a true professional, she is an expert at what she does and is gifted with healing and magic hands and a calming, supportive nature. I cannot recommend Isobel enough as she’s sorted out my back and I’m virtually pain free. I have my life back now, I can hit the gym and train (which I love to do) and it’s all credit to Isobel. Thank you so very much, I am so very grateful – even though it’s painful and I swear my head off, you always help me and have put me back together. Thank you 💕

    Five star rating from me! Isobel sorted out my back injury with a few treatments and some great advice for specific home exercises. Very professional and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone !

    A friend suggested that I attend Isobel’s Stretchologie classes, as I’ve been suffering with a frozen shoulder for quite a few months. I’ve attend four classes now and I cannot begin to tell you, the difference it’s making. It sets me up for my weekend and the improvement it’s made to my shoulder is great. Thank you so much.
