That’s me, Rachael Corcoran…
Imperfect, honest and a dreamer of wonderful things for me and you!
Imperfect – because humans are, and aiming to be flawless is time consuming and energy draining. Life is a lot more enjoyable when we just stop trying to be perfect.
Honest – because if I’m 
not honest with you, I’m doing you a disservice.
A Dreamer – of a world where we not only acknowledge but celebrate our quirks. They are not flaws or faults,
they are a part
of us, our story. I dream of a time where we cease to feel less than perfect because of them.
Hi I’m Rach and I help busy, overworked (mainly, but not exclusively) women, go from feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and generally pissed about their health and appearance –
. . . to being strong, healthy, vibrant and feeling hotter than a hot thing!

Hey Rachael, just wanna say I am so grateful for your help. Before I came to you the weight seemed stuck on, the health was going down the tubes and had been for 8 years and nothing seemed to change. You helped me get healthier, thinner and understand a whole range of factors that were causing me problems. I am grateful and blessed and can finally fit into clothes I never thought I would xxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooo
AnnaRachael has been amazing in helping me to improve my fitness and lose weight. I found that even if you know what you ought to be doing, it helps so much to have someone else to give guidance and support. Rachael’s program has helped me to set clear goals, and to make lifestyle changes in a way that I can continue long term. Her support is always positive and challenging, encouraging me to continually build on my progress. While working with Rachael, I have so far succeeded in running a 5km race (from never having run before), and having lost enough weight that people now have no hesitation in telling me how fat I used to be!
