OUR NON–DIET WEIGHT LOSS COACHES

The Enlighten Programme People

Roz Watkins

Roz has a scientific background, having originally studied natural sciences at Cambridge University. Roz is also a post graduate qualified coach, a master practitioner of NLP and Time Line Therapy and a qualified hypnotherapist.

Roz has always had an interest in the mysteries of weight and eating, having watched her mother battle with her weight when Roz was a child, using every possible technique from the conventional to the bizarre, and even including a 13 day fast!

Roz also had her own experiences of gaining and losing weight in the past, which made her suspect that there was more to weight loss than just eating less and doing more. For example, she spent eight months in India, Thailand and Indonesia, much of it not very well and hardly eating anything (but still pushing herself to hike up every available volcano!) and didn't lose a pound. Meanwhile, her friends on the same regime became extremely thin. Roz then lost weight back in England, land of plenty, without restricting her food in any way. At the time this was a mystery but the reasons are now clear and fall within the areas covered in the Enlighten Programme.

As Roz developed her NLP and coaching skills, she became particularly interested in the effect of the unconscious mind on weight gain and loss. Her work in this area gave her an insight into her own experiences and the experiences of many other people who seemed to defy the "commonsense rules" of weight loss. In working with clients, she was surprised how effective the new psychological techniques can be, and how often the conventional advice on weight control fails or even makes matters worse.

Roz's interest and experiences led her to undertake further professional training in how to help people lose weight without dieting. She also carried out research of her own into this subject, working with a number of people who had "tried everything". This included working with her mother (herself a doctor) to finally overcome her food intolerances and her 50 year long battle with her weight!

Heidi Eastell-Adams

"I am a qualified life development coach to post graduate level. I decided to become a life coach at a very difficult time in my life, and amongst other things, soon realised that the coaching techniques that I learnt and are used in the Enlighten programme, helped me to gradually lose the two stone I have been fighting with for years, and to get fit too-at a time in my life where I would usually of put on two stone as I was very much an emotional eater!

Now I am happy with my weight and fitness level, and finally feel happy within myself too, after being on and off a diet for most of my life, it is an amazing feeling to enjoy food, and for food to no longer be my enemy, and I am no longer on an endless dieting cycle as food and dieting was always be on my mind!

Therefore I have joined Roz on this amazing programme, and I am supporting it through coaching, so I can help like minded people finally feel good about themselves from the inside and out, and motivate and support them throughout this programme, either by telephone coaching or 1– 1s, firstly offering a free weight loss diagnostic session on the phone.

I have successfully coached numerous people and run weight loss and fitness courses too, with great success and feedback.

This is something I feel passionately about , and I know I can pass on my coaching expertise, my own personal experiences,my motivation, and support throughout the Enlighten programme, to help guarantee your successfor life!!"
