The things that worked for you before may not work in quite the same way anymore.
Your body has changed. Your life has changed. Your priorities may have changed too.
So the answer isn't necessarily more information, more discipline or another rigid plan.
You may need a different way of looking at your health.
You may actually need more recovery.
The bigger issue may be stress, self-talk, habits or your environment.
You may have lost sight of what you're actually working towards.
Your life may simply not support the routine you're trying to follow.
That's where we start.
Before becoming a Health and Behaviour Change Coach, I spent more than 20 years leading organisational change across corporate and not-for-profit organisations. That background is exactly why I work the way I do: as an Implementation Partner, not just an educator. You don't need more information. You need someone who helps the plan survive real life.
My qualifications span nutrition, health coaching, personal training, Pilates and run coaching.
I combine a structured coaching process with practical expertise. That means you will be heard, but you will also be guided.
Where you need answers, you will get them. Where you need to find your own, I will help you get there.
Sessions are built around you and your needs. I follow a method called The Connected Thread Method, working across your body, environment, mind and direction in sequence.
You can work with me in three stages:
Learn through talks, education and workshops, Implement through targeted and specific recommendations, and Sustain through 1:1 coaching and accountability.




"Susan Short's guidance as a Health and Nutrition Coach has been transformative for my health and wellbeing.
Through her practical advice, encouragement and personalised approach, I was able to improve my energy levels, achieve my target weight and see significant improvements in my overall health markers.
Beyond the physical results, Susan also helped me build the confidence and knowledge to take control of my own health and wellness in a sustainable way.
I'm incredibly grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone looking to make lasting positive changes to their health."
— Jenny, Coaching Client
"As a 50-something active woman I needed a coach to help me finesse my approach to nutrition in this new phase of life. My pre-menopausal ways of food and weight management were no longer working and Susan's sensitive approach to listening to my particular challenges was key in addressing this.
Using science-based resources mapped to my personal goals, we developed a realistic and flexible programme that yielded results early in our sessions.
I have learned a lot with Susan and nutrition management is no longer a mystery. My sleep has improved and my overall sense of well-being has benefited greatly from working with Susan. I cannot recommend her services enough."
— Simone, Coaching Client
