Coaching with Debra

Coaching with Debra Debra is passionate about empowering women to invest in themsev

I help women feel empowered to never give up and that it is not to late, you're not too old and you can lose weight & keep it off, improve your health and FEEL great.

I was late 40’s when I stood on that bodybuilding stage. Lean, sculpted, and chasing an aesthetic goal.

And while I was proud of the discipline & resilience it took, I eventually realised something important:

Losing weight isn’t the same as being healthy.
Weight loss isn’t a gateway to feeling more confident
Or to like yourself more.

I was probably my most unhealthiest & most critical of myself on that stage.

Your appearance is not a reliable marker of your health, your happiness, or your confidence.
What your body can DO is.

Whilst mine is an extreme example, the point I’m making is that weight loss alone doesn’t mean your confidence will automatically grow.

These days, my health and confidence comes from a completely different place. Not from just from how I LOOK but from what my body can DO.

And when you do start focusing on what your body can do… amazing things happen:

-You can STILL lose weight
-You can STILL look toned
-You can STILL transform your body
…BUT in a much healthier, more sustainable and more self-respecting way.

You’ll also get;
• Stronger physically and mentally
• Build endurance and have more energy
• Nourish your body instead of punish it
• Build healthy consistent habits instead of relying on willpower
• Treat your body with more respect and care
• Achieve goals you never believed possible

‼️Gaining confidence from your efforts and achievements, not from a clothing size or a number on the scales is how you FEEL incredible and get long term results ‼️

That’s the message I want every midlife woman to hear.

If you want support with building that kind of strength, confidence and long term health alongside a weight loss goal.

I’m already coaching midlife women who are experiencing exactly this shift and their results go far beyond the scales.

Send me a message if you’re ready to discover just what YOUR body can do.

Celebrating 🙌 and .obrien and the huge smiles on their faces crossing the finish line 😁.

Smiles that replaced previous self doubt, lack of confidence, fear of failure and having never ever done any thing like this ever before.

NOW they have completed their first hybrid event, which they NEVER imagined possible absolutely loved it!

BOTH are positively thriving!

One of these ladies is a paramedic working long shifts and often coming off a night shift, yet still getting to the gym and the other is a woman of 59 redefining what an ‘average’ woman of this age looks like and is capable of.

Both have put in consist effort even on those days they didn’t feel like it and have formed a fantastic partnership for their first time experience.

And what’s amazing is they are already planning the next.

Their success and their energy are a testament to everything they’ve given and gained…

Strength, fitness, more energy & fire 🔥, better health, increased self belief, confidence and smashing goals they previously never thought they were capable of.

Just like ALL my clients.
Encompassing everything my coaching is all about.

If you’re ready to break through your glass ceiling of what you believe possible… simply message ‘break’ and I’ll reply.

Break the ceiling on what you think is possible.
Weight loss alone will not improve your health or confidence.
Your success is based on how you show up for yourself with your focus on what you can DO not just be dictated by a number on the scales.

These incredible have proved this. 

Improved self belief, confidence, health, happiness and long term success is more than a number on the scales.

If you’re ready to break through your glass ceiling, take the first bash by sending me a Message with the word ‘bash’ and I’ll reply.

I know so many women struggle with their feet and finding truly comfortable footwear can be a challenge.

So I had to share these incredible trainers designed specifically for the unique shape of women’s feet.

Believe me when I say I was first sceptical, I thought they were a gimmick and not as good as the more familiar brands.

But I was wrong.

These trainers have bought comfort & joy back to my life whether I’m out walking, in the gym, running, going about my dayor even doing handstands.

And the best thing is they are laceless, so easy to slip on and off, yet still feel secure.

Try them for yourself and get a discount using my link. Just comment with a 👍 and I’ll send it you.

Feel free to ask me questions, I will always give you an honest answer.

The truth is, I’ve always cared about my health.
I’ve always exercised.

But somewhere in my 40s, I lost my connection to what my body actually needed.

I wasn’t failing, I was actually trying really hard.
I just didn’t understand how to work with my changing midlife body.

And so over the years, I’ve had the guidance from other coaches.
Because coaches need coaches too.
Not because I didn’t know what to do.
But because I didn’t want to think.
My thinking & energy goes into my clients, family & other life responsibilities.

And having the right guidance, support and accountability from a coach are what pull you forward when you feel stuck. They’re what help you to become your strongest and most empowered self.

Midlife is NOT a time to give up.

It’s a time to reinvent, recalibrate and choose yourself again.

And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I am a midlife coach with years of experience coaching other midlife women who are truly seeing life changing results in their bodies, their health, wellbeing and life.

Because they finally have a roadmap, the accountability and support that works with their midlife bodies, not against them.

If you’re doubting what’s possible…
Don’t.

Midlife can be your most powerful chapter yet and I’m here to help you get there.

If you’re ready to feel strong, confident and in control again. Send me a message. Let’s talk about what’s possible for you in midlife.

Life lately…
Puppy, hard sessions (can we please get a sled with poles on both sides..?), brunches, lunches, friendships, torrential rain, a must listen podcast episode if you’re struggling with weight loss, track and swipe to see when Spud met Lilly 💖.

T-6 days until my first hybrid event this year with my incredible clients who I have coached from never lifting weights regularly or not at all to strong athletes taking on a big challenge. 💪💪💪💪

Who wants to be average…? We can do hard things 😍.

15/11/2025

Midlife & menopause doesn’t have to mean slowing down.
Taking it easier…
Because YOU are more capable than you realise
Stronger than you think.
More resilient and brave that you give yourself credit for.

You CAN do hard things.
This is where growth and confidence is built.

Because every time you do, you’ll become the healthiest, happiest and most confident version of your future self and never look back again.

And this is what I help other women in midlife realise. If you’re ready to feel the best version of your future self. Message or Comment STRONG and let’s go!

There will always be a reason not to…
Today it’s raining, tomorrow you’ve had a long day
you’re not in the mood or you can’t be bothered.

But to get the health and feel good outcome you want
it means doing the things you don’t feel like doing.

This is how you get results, build trust in yourself and prove that you CAN do what you said you would do.

And this trust… it’s how you change your health, habits and your confidence.

Keep showing up for yourself 💙

If you think that weight loss is about willpower, discipline, over restriction and eating as little possible…

Here’s the honest truth…
Healthy and sustainable weight loss means letting go of some of your past behaviours, thoughts and conditions you previously used to approach weight loss.

I know it’s hard, it’s what you know… but the reality is, it hasn’t worked. Not long term.

Your mindset
Your approach
Understanding yourself and building the consistent habits to support your goal will help you get results.

-Breaking free of the ‘all or nothing’ f**k it approach.
-Being ‘good or bad’.
-Restricting all day & snacking all evening.
-Labelling food.
-Earning or burning food.
-Focusing on calories burned instead of how much you’re eating & drinking.

And instead start focusing on;
✅ Building consistent habits that support your goals
✅ Nourishing and fuelling your body with purpose
✅ Exercising for your health
✅ Making choices you can maintain long term

Because when you shift your mindset and your approach, your results and confidence will finally last and you will FEEL so good for it.

If you feel like you’ve tried everything and are ready to have the learn the tools and have the support and guidance that actually work, message me ‘truth’ and let’s chat about how I can help you.

Are you guilty of putting yourself at the bottom of the list.
Doing everything for everyone else and not yourself.

And somewhere along the way, you’ve lost yourself.
And feel exhausted, resentful and burned out.

You unhappy with how you look and feel.
Energy and mood are low and you wonder if you’ll ever get to feel like YOU again.

If this sounds like you…
It’s a sign it’s time to show yourself a bit of ‘self care.’
To prioritise yourself.
To do something for yourself, no matter how small.
To fill your empty cup.
That’ll bring you joy and help you to feel an increased sense of self worth.

It’ll result in you being able to give BETTER to others.
And feel happier in yourself.

Self care is about prioritising yourself without guilt. Giving yourself permission to come first and respecting your limits.

I know it isn’t easy. And you are not alone.
I am already supporting other women just like you. And they are seeing the results and feeling so much better for it.

And YOU could be too.
Take the first step and Message me or Comment ‘care’ and I’ll reply with the first steps to help you show up for yourself with more energy and be able to give better.

Our Story

A women’s Jogging Club set up in 2010 by a local Abbots Langley mum, Debra Geard.

Now approaching it’s 8th year no one could have predicted the success the group would have.

We have become a very special running group where friendships have been formed. We are supportive of each other and together we have experienced running events that we never thought we would do!

Ladies have started running when they never thought they could with long term goals achieved. We never lose sight of keeping the sessions enjoyable and very sociable!
