Who we are
Founder and director of Healthy Change is Jemima Holroyd Pearce. After three years of working as a Chartered Surveyor Jemima decided that she actually wanted to do something that she believed in, enjoyed and would be of benefit to others. During a career break she trained with the Australian Institute of Fitness in Perth, Australia and gained her Certificate IV in Fitness. She is now a registered Personal Trainer with the Register of Exercise Professionals, an independent public register which recognises the qualifications of health and fitness professionals in the UK.
Jemima has continued her education by completing an accredited course in Childhood Obesity and a Level 4 qualification in Obesity Management. Jemima specialises in weight management and walking and is constantly improving her skills with further study.
Jemima has worked as a freelance consultant on a GP referral weight managment program giving educational presentations on healthy topics and leading walking based exercise classes.
Jemima's passion is walking - hiking, Nordic walking, power walking and race walking. In 2010 Jemima walked three marathons including the Dublin marathon and set a new course record at an Oxfordshire half marathon.
What we do
At Healthy Change we believe that being fit and healthy is all about having fun, enjoying life and feeling your best. We're not about starving yourself and spending hours working out. We know that you don't need a gym membership to live a healthy lifestyle and get fit. We can help you achieve your goals through a tailored program that works for you. We offer lifestyle and weight management consultancy, nutritional advice and walking instruction. Our flexible approach is what sets us apart, so if you don't see what you want on our services then contact us and we'll see what we can do to help.
We offer a mobile service and can come to your home, office or another venue of your choice. All our services are aimed at helping you achieve the life you want and a brighter future. We travel up to 15 miles from Oxford and can travel further, however there will be an extra charge for travel time.
Why we do it
So, why do we do it? That's very simple. Our bodies are unique tools that enable us to do all sorts of things. Without them we could not live. When your body is healthy you are full of energy and ready to take on the world.
Enjoying life is all about having a high quality of life. It is difficult to have a high quality of life if your body is struggling to keep up. Healthy Change is all about having more options, looking after yourself and ensuring that your body is not limiting your life choices.
