What’s Included in 1:1 Coaching
Rather than handing you a rigid, restrictive meal plan, I work alongside you to build sustainable habits that fit your actual routine.
My 12-week coaching package provides comprehensive, flexible support across three main pillars:
1. Direct Consultation & Session Time
60-Minute Initial Consultation: A deep dive into your history, relationship with food, daily routine, and personal goals.
Weekly Check-Ins & Follow-Ups: Every week you’ll complete a check-in form. We’ll alternate each week between a 40-minute video call and an in-depth messaging follow-up, giving us dedicated space to celebrate your wins, troubleshoot challenges, and adapt your plan.
Instant Message Support: Access to me between sessions via WhatsApp for quick questions, reassurance, or real-time support.
2. Personalised Strategy & Resources
Bespoke Nutrition Guidance: Tailored entirely to your lifestyle, preferences, energy levels, and budget.
Habit-Building Tools & Worksheets: Personalised goal-setting frameworks and resources that work with your brain, not against it.
Educational Resources: Clear, accessible guides to help you understand the why behind your nutrition.
Compassionate Food Diary Review (Optional): Used strictly where appropriate and helpful for your goals - never for obsessive counting or judgment.
3. Continuous Feedback & Progress Tracking
Regular Progress Reviews: Dedicated space to identify patterns, celebrate wins, and pivot our approach whenever life shifts.
Private Coaching Folder: Centralised access to all your action plans, resources, and session summaries in one organised place.
Step 1: Book Your Free Discovery Call
We start with a free 20-minute discovery call to discuss your goals, answer any questions, and see whether we are a good fit to work together.
Before the call, I will ask you to complete a brief medical screening questionnaire to confirm that online nutrition coaching is suitable and safe for your needs.
Need an alternative? If phone or video calls trigger anxiety, or if you prefer written communication, you are very welcome to reach out via email at rachelhardwicknutrition@gmail.com to discuss working together instead.
How Coaching Works
Step 2: Intake & Onboarding
Once you decide to move forward, I will send you a detailed client intake form. This gives me a comprehensive understanding of your background before our first session, covering:
Your primary goals and priorities
Your daily routine, lifestyle, and work schedule
Relevant medical history and health information
Accessibility requirements or neurodivergent accommodations
Current movement or exercise habits
Step 3: Your First Consultation
We will meet online for your 60-minute initial session to explore your intake form in detail and begin shaping your coaching roadmap.
We will explore your current relationship with food, identify barriers, and set realistic, manageable first steps.
Following the session, you will gain access to your private coaching folder containing notes from each session, your initial action plan and custom resources.
Step 4: The 12-Week Coaching Framework
Sustainable change takes time. I work with clients for an initial minimum of 12 weeks to ensure you have enough space to embed new habits, troubleshoot real-world challenges, and build long-term confidence.
Support alternates weekly to balance structure with flexibility:
Week A: 40-minute online video coaching call
Week B: In-depth written check-in with personalised feedback
Every Week: Continuous messaging support via Signal between sessions

Frequently Asked Questions
-
My role as a nutrition coach isn't to give you a generic plan and send you on your way. We'll work together to understand your goals, challenges and habits, before finding practical strategies that work for you. The aim is to build sustainable habits, improve your relationship with food and create changes that feel realistic enough to maintain long-term.
-
The initial programme lasts 12 weeks, with the option to continue afterwards if you'd like ongoing support. There’s no limit as to how long you can work with me - some people benefit from long term coaching to help with accountability, others may stop and start again when they feel they might need support again.
-
Yes - all video sessions take place via Zoom or Google Meet, allowing you to work with me from anywhere.
I may occasionally be able to do in-person sessions in exceptional circumstances, if online sessions aren’t accessible for you. However this would be organised on a case-by-case basis and largely dependent on your location. -
No. Instead, I'll help you build the knowledge and confidence to make food choices that work for your lifestyle.
If making a loose plan is something you feel would help your progress, we will work on creating something together that feels achievable and realistic for you.
-
No. Some people find tracking and counting calories or macros useful, while others don't. While it’s helpful initially, for me to get an idea of your current eating habits, it’s not something that necessarily needs to be ongoing. We'll choose the approach that works best for you.
-
Yes. If weight loss is a goal that's right for you, we can work towards it without relying on extreme diets or restrictive meal plans.
Instead, we'll focus on creating sustainable habits and an appropriate calorie deficit while making sure you're still eating enough nutritious food to support your energy, training and overall wellbeing. -
Absolutely! Weight loss doesn’t need to be your goal at all. Many people choose to work with a nutrition coach for other reasons such as building muscle, gaining weight, building a more balanced relationship with food, improving energy levels, and for regular accountability, just to name a few.
-
Definitely! Nutrition and exercise go hand in hand, and I can help you make sure your nutrition supports your training. Whether you're running marathons, strength training, or simply doing home workouts, we can look at how to fuel your body appropriately and support your individual goals.
I am also currently studying to become a L3 Personal Trainer, so if you would like to work with me in that context eventually, we will be able to add that in once I’m qualified in 2027. -
Absolutely! I’m a strong advocate for eating a plant-based diet, but am happy to take on all clients, regardless of whether you’re an omnivore, vegetarian, pescatarian or vegan.
-
Yes, absolutely. As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I have a particular interest in supporting autistic and ADHD clients.
I also am more than happy to take on clients with other disabilities, and can take these into account when helping you figure out what works best for you. Everyone is welcome. -
Yes I can - provided you are already self aware enough to know what your trigger foods are and how to manage your IBS yourself. I am not qualified to provide direct medical advice around managing IBS symptoms - so if this is something you are in need of, you may need to work separately with a specialist in this area.
-
Nutrition coaching isn't a substitute for medical or psychological treatment, and there are some situations where a registered dietitian, GP or other healthcare professional would be better placed to support you. If I don't think I'm the right person to help, I'll always be honest about that and recommend seeking appropriate professional support.
