What clients have to say…….
“I found Shirley to be highly effective through this holistic coaching process, the encouragement and challenge she has provided me on a personal level has meant that I have been able to implement lifestyle changes that will last. I highly recommend her.”
Kate, UK
“During the time spent with Shirley as my Health Coach, the most shocking thing that became apparent (after a full blood work up) was that I was seriously deficient in Vitamin D. Upon discovering this Shirley helped me understand how this and other hormone issues have no doubt impacted on other aspects of my life. Without this fundamental realisation my health had been at serious risk.
Speaking with Shirley and her asking me ‘the hard questions’ I can safely say that I didn’t realise I needed a Health Coach as much as I did. My nutrition is very good but my emotional levels were depleted, Shirley helped me understand that balance in all areas of life are as equally important to our whole well being. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shirley to anyone that needs guidance and support in their lives, especially, if you can not pinpoint your needs. Shirley’s nature is reassuring and she is passionate about what she does and genuinely wants to help others better themselves. With deepest thanks I would say do not hesitate to make the first step, you will be in the safest hands.”

“My top 3 goals when starting to work with Shirley were to improve the home environment and incorporate a wider variety of foods into the family diet, to modify aspects of my business and start a new business venture. The biggest tangible change in the 6 months I worked with Shirley has been in my families nutrition and the most significant overall change has been successfully restructuring my existing business and starting up a new project. Shirley has a wealth of knowledge, her positive can-do attitude is exceptionally motivating. Furthermore Shirley is a warm, caring and genuinely lovely person. I would recommend Shirley as a coach to anyone who feels they are in a “rut” and feels they want something more. As well as anyone who would like to improve their health and overall well being.
During the 6 months Shirley helped me through a personal health issue. I was able to confide in her and she gave me immense support and advise through this difficult period. Thank you Shirley! ”
Louise, Spain
“My top three goals upon starting the 6-month program were creating time for my self, eating more healthily to loose weight and exercising regularly.
As my coach Shirley was able to help me work toward these goals by asking me poignant questions that made me focus on some of the issues that I was having, giving me lots of healthy eating tips, recipes and tweaking what I already ate and encouraging me to change some of the exercise I was doing 1-3 times a week for other types of more regular exercise including walking, yoga and breathing exercises. The biggest tangible change I have noticed since beginning the program has been that I have stopped gaining weight, I feel that I have more energy and I feel more contented which impacts greatly on my moods and therefore my family. The most significant overall change I have noticed has been helping my family understand how important it is for me to have some time to myself to pursue my own interests and how it has such a positive effect on my health and well being.
I would describe Shirley as professional, approachable and dedicated to your cause. Shirley is very knowledgeable on how different forms of exercise can effect your body and recommend suitable ones to help you reach your goals. Shirley has also been very informative on how nutrition and nutrients play a vital role, helping me to find ways of supporting my changing body through the menopause.
I would recommend my coach to anyone who is seeking to make changes to their whole health and well being. I couldn’t understand why I was eating relatively healthily and exercising and still the weight not only didn’t drop but in fact continued to increase! Shirley helped me to see that as a married, perimenopausal mum, to two very active boys I was rarely allowing myself any time to look after myself and adapt to the changes in my body. With lots of support and small changes I have managed to put a halt on the weight gain and increased my over all well being.”

“I started the 6-month program with the goal to finding out about what a health coach does, reducing my headaches and finding a way to get out of my unhappy feelings. As my coach, Shirley was able to help me work toward these goals by listening, making me aware of negative thoughts and attitudes, giving me new perspectives and ideas and affirming when taking important decisions that they made sense, being there for me all the time. Since beginning working with Shirley, I notice that I open up to change and a brighter future, I see there is a way out. The most notable change has been much less headaches and I had the strength to enrol in a meditation and mindfulness course and that has changed my life already!
Shirley is calm, a good listener, intelligent, happy, inspirational, understanding, helpful, wonderful and beautiful. I would recommend my coach to everybody. For me it has been an unexpected change in my life started all by working with Shirley! I am very grateful and still see changes appearing and am looking forward to have a catching-up-session in a few weeks.”

“I feel I have achieved so much and continue to grow. I am so thankful that I found Shirley to help guide me to live a healthier and happier life. You´re a great coach!”
Anna, Spain
“Shirley is an incredible health coach and has been and still is a huge part of my success in life!
She is so well rounded in knowledge of how the body works as a whole in relation to food, hormones, thoughts and emotions, relationships, exercise, gut health and spirituality.
She holds me accountable to my exercise goals, gives me delicious recipes to try, teaches me stretching tips to loosen tight muscles and pushes me out of my comfort zone while gently listening to all of my fears and struggles with non judgement.
The best thing I have received from Shirley is trust. I was able to share my past eating disorder with her which I have never opened up to anyone else about it. She was able to guide me to the root of it by asking the right questions to lead me to my own understanding as to why I treated myself so poorly. Once I figured that out, it created a ripple effect to many other aha’s of why I was behaving a certain way in other areas of life. It has also opened up a whole new freedom in life for me once that dark secret was out, and I haven’t looked back!
If you are looking for superior support and coaching for an area in health you are struggling to master on your own, whether it be nutrition, hormone health, stress, weight, what to eat, what exercise is best for you, etc. I would definitely recommend Shirley! Thanks Shirley! “

“I had the great honor to meet Shirley O’Neill in 2004 in London. I discovered through her treatment a very special approach to the body. Shirley takes time to understand what dysfunctional patterns in your body could be at the origin of your aches and pains. I greatly value the time we worked together closely in London and I know, my patients did too.”
-Boniface Verney-Carron. Osteopath, London
“Shirley is very inspiring, she proves that honesty and authenticity are super powerful. It doesn´t take being a superhero to work on your self. We are all the same and we all have a choice of the journey we choose. Shirley you are wonderful!”
Joanna, UK
“Shirley takes an investigative and analytical approach to her work and is always trying to find the solution, not just treating the symptoms. She helped me get back to normal breathing and exercising following pneumonia which restricted up my lung capacity.”
