What Our Members Say
We’re seeing some life changing results…
Celebrating a big birthday Karen knew that this was her LAST CHANCE to get it right and look after herself. After decades of dieting, she had done it all – Cambridge diet, Slimming World. She as great on the diet, stuck to the rules, but as soon as the diet was finished and she let go of the strict 800 calories daily count she was lost. She quickly put all her weight back on.
Karen had done this so often that she felt Get Gorgeous was her last attempt. She was at a low ebb when we first talked.
Only a 1/3rd way through her journey and Karen is transformed, she loves the challenge, her skin looks great, fewer wrinkles and she is not craving chocolate anymore which is something she would have never believed.

A quick note to let you know that I loved your book. I read it as someone who is wanting to understand changes she can make to pull her health and wellbeing back into a place she is comfortable again.
I love it! You’ve done a fabulous job! I’m lucky enough to know you so could hear your voice in my head and enjoyed the easy style and chatty and gentle direction you offer.
I suspect it will do very well.
Bravo beautiful!

I have been into health, diet and fitness for the last 15 years and I am still struggling on my journey. Adele’s Get Gorgeous book, for me, brought it all together in an accessible, easy way. I realize now that I am in charge of that inner voice and that above all I need to look after me. Self-care Sunday will become a regular fixture in our household and quite frankly a good example to my kids going forward. Kids are under so much pressure today from parents, school, peers that I feel their inner voice and needs are silenced. They need Adele’s book as much as I do. Thank you Adele

I have followed Adele on Facebook for a while and thought I would give the book a try …..and I love this book and I haven’t finished reading it yet! It is thought-provoking and at times like a lightbulb going on in your head, for instance, your relationship with food as an adult can be affected by childhood
I highly recommend this book and have started thinking about myself more already!Mrs C Amazon Reviewer Get Gorgeous Book www.get-gorgeous.com/book
I just wanted to email to say how much I loved class this evening. I always enjoy your class very much (not least because it’s the only hour of the week that I don’t have a child attached to me in one way or another!) but tonight just knocked the socks off of all others. Being outside is wonderful but I just loved how challenging it felt. I was totally in the zone. I feel I’m back to where I was pre-baby, if not stronger. And that is thanks to you. I think you’re incredible – so funny, so positive, so uplifting and so inspirational. Thank you!

“love all the positive messages in this book. I would urge all older people to continue to live and learn. So often we get stuck in our ways. My book is currently being read by a male friend who heard Adele speaking about her approach and he found her ‘inspirational’. The book is still away from home so I’ll need to catch up with him soon and prize it away from him!”

LInda Bellshaw NHS Get Gorgeous Book www.get-gorgeous.com/book
“I bought this book with some trepidation as I have read so many “self-help” books all offering a miracle which is exactly where this book differs. Adele does not offer a quick fix, in fact the complete opposite. I have learnt a lot from this book, it’s made me recognise patterns of behaviour that I have had since childhood and while I can’t change them all, just recognising them helps. It made me laugh at myself as I recognised the excuses I use to justify why today it’s ok to have that slice of cake or glass of wine – I don’t so much have a inner teenager (read the book and you’ll understand) as an inner high priced lawyer capable of arguing the impossible!
I am slowly (very slowly) working through each of the elements hoping that by taking my time the changes will stick. I would recommend this book to anyone who is fed up of trying diet after diet and wondering why they don’t work and is looking instead for something more inspirational.”
Emma Selby - Amazon reviewer Get Gorgeous Book www.get-gorgeous.com/book
I very rarely write reviews but I felt I had to on this occasion. What is essentially very powerful about this book is that it makes you confront why you eat the way you do. It takes you on a personal journey whilst simultaneously explaining the biological impact and nutrition behind your choices. I’ve never believed in ‘diets’ and this book has reinforced that belief. It’s down to earth and easy to read. Highly recommend!

“This book is simply amazing. It is so well written and answered so many questions for me as to why diets fail. I now understand why the minute I am confronted with diets giving menus and shopping lists, good foods and bad foods I respond with a NNOOO! Having read this book I now know it’s my inner teenager rebelling, and oh boy I knew about rebellion in my teens. Listening to your body is something I’ve discovered over the years, now I know how valuable this is. What this book doesn’t offer is a quick weight loss solution, what it does offer is a grounded way to consider one’s actions, why we make the choices we do and with this understanding, be enabled to make a life style choice that will result in weight loss without rules and regulations attached to dieting. It is definitely an entertaining read, I couldn’t stop reading. The explanations are thorough and based in research without being heavy and dry, very meaningful and I would say, give this book a go, it could move you to a whole different level in your dieting life.”

My name is Deborah, before I came along to Adele’s Pilates and relaxation day I was interested in the benefits of Pilates and also breathing techniques to support a different way of thinking.The most valuable part of Adele’s relaxation session was making the time to step off the tightrope and have some headspace.If you’re on the fence about working with Adele I’d say definitely give it a go. It’s a safe space to explore thoughts and some ways of thinking to handle the worries and stresses that you may be carrying. It’s all done in a very supportive way and I really found it helpful. It was a workshop that can help build sustainable approaches to a more positive attitude to life.Find out more about the next Pilates and relaxation afternoon click here https://bit.ly/PilatesRelaxDeborah Retired Pilates Relaxation and stress release afternoon

Vicky Tearle Primary School Teacher
Before going on one of Adele’s gorgeous retreats I’d certainly had a flat out the year and was feeling thoroughly burnt out with the added pressures lockdown had placed on us all. Going on a retreat was always something I’d often talked about doing one day but never did because of cost, feelings of guilt, or that it was too decadent a thing to do for yourself.
As I’d never been on one before I’d say my biggest fear was going on my own without having met anyone, however, I needn’t have been in the slightest bit concerned as it ended up being one of the best aspects with the nicest bunch of people, one which totally enriched the experience! This alongside the out of this world stunning 360-degree sea-view panorama setting and plush studio, coupled with both Adele and Katies exceptional classes that accommodated all abilities were beyond superb. Did I mention the deliciously tasty homecooked organic vegetarian Greek cuisine to boot too?!
Since the retreat, I have felt a real sense of calm and am certainly drawing from shared insights and experiences of the lovely ladies I met whilst away and with whom we’re keeping in touch, which is great. I wouldn’t think twice about doing one again or recommending it to others after my experience.
If you’re on the fence about ever going on a retreat I’d say go for it, you most definitely won’t regret it and most certainly deserve it! It’s been one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a long time and would wholeheartedly recommend doing it for the most important person in your life that’s often neglected, you ????

Catherine Yeandle Primary school teacher
I retired from the NHS in March 2018 after almost 40 years service, first as a nurse but for 35 years as a medical secretary, nursing had to go due to a back injury. I felt very fat and uncomfortable! By following the Adele links I thought I would take the opportunity to book a call to have a chat with Adele. Little did I know how this would change my life. Sounds dramatic, but it absolutely has.
I don’t think I had thought about how committed I would need or want to be, I just thought Adele would help me to lose weight and get fitter, but at the end of that first call when I cried, sobbed and was an absolute mess, I realised I was on a path to a better way of life which I knew Adele would help me get through.
I was in the process of selling the family home which was taking a horrible amount of time and which was traumatic as the decision to move had been a hard one in the first place. It was where we had lived for 20 years and where my darling husband Stuart had died in my arms after a short cruel illness but one he had fought so hard against. On that first call, Adele helped me realise I was still grieving even if I believed I was fine although I knew the mask was still evident a lot of the time, safety net rules.
I signed up to the Get Gorgeous programme and got going with wholehearted commitment. Within a short space of time, I was completely hooked on what the process was about and the possible end results. Even though I was committed it was the support and encouragement of Adele that kept me going. I was doing the workouts set out in the modules I was following. I found doing the workouts on a daily basis easy to follow and enjoyable. I was doing these on the suggested three times a week but as I progressed through the modules I was able to mix and match them through the week and so I was doing something every day, as well as walking and golfing. Great strides. I was also losing weight and feeling so much better for it.
The weight loss was becoming noticeable and I was receiving compliments from family and friends, which was a great morale booster for me. I was starting to believe in me! Alongside me all the way was Adele whose encouragement, positivity and commitment to me (she made me feel as if I was the only person she was doing this for and so made me feel very special) was endless and worth so very much and to whom I will be forever grateful. With the zoom meeting calls, Adele was able to see the changes in me and obviously my weekly submitted adherence sheets. It was obvious it was working for me and I felt so incredibly positive and excited by what I was achieving.
Before I started the programme I was very sad, even though I believe I covered it well, I missed Stuart so very much and although I was busy in my life he was missing. Since becoming a part of this journey I believe I am a bit more outgoing, although probably still feel more comfortable with those I know well and happy to be a part of the background. I don’t think that is a negative thing but will change as I continue to grow in confidence. I cannot tell you how much seeing and talking to Adele has done for me in self-belief and confidence.
Adele is one of the most positive, encouraging, committed people I have met. She is so obviously knowledgeable about her subject and is keen to share this and help anyone achieve whatever they want, can’t wait for the book.
She is so exuberant and delightful that I just want to do my best for her and myself. For me the benefits are endless and although I have completed the modules the journey continues and becomes a positive way of life. I feel that I am more forward-looking than I was before and that is a massive plus and I feel very proud of myself.
Along the journey of Get Gorgeous I have lost a stone and a half in weight and lost lots of inches and have become much fitter and so I think I have achieved what I set out to achieve. Overall I feel so much lighter in mood and positive in my outlook which is a massive achievement and which is ongoing. Adele Stickland is a most extraordinary woman who I adore and feel I can call a friend. Thank You Adele.

Karen Bush Teacher
“I found Adele to be the best personal coach I have ever had. She was confident and reassuring and could face me out in my worst most unattractive behaviours and distortions, in my anger and resentment and blame, while still seeing and moving me on from the underlying self-loathing that was generating those behaviours.In doing so, Adele moved me swiftly into self-supporting habits, without my inner resistance realising I had acted – quite spooky. I trust her judgement and I trust her as a person, one who I value as a friend, ally and professional colleague. Thank you for all you have given me and taught me.”Jennifer Parry Company Owner: Restoring the Wild Soul in High Fliers Get Gorgeous
All I can say is wow! Adele is a beautiful, supportive and intuitive coach. I cannot believe that after just 6 weeks into my Get Gorgeous journey how empowered, healthier, and happier I feel.
Adele helps you to address the whole package from inside out, with no judgement, quiet support and that listening ear to help you understand that life is full of ups and downs, and a gentle hand to help you get back on the road when you wander off in the wrong direction.
Adele has a genuine desire to help you to become the better self, that you deserve.
Thank for supporting me to change that imbalance in my life and helping me for the first time ever to look in the mirror and see a happy, imperfectly perfect confident woman.
Every woman needs and deserves an Adele in their life.

I’m Emma and I am a quality management systems specialist.
Before I invested in working with Adele I was forever making commitments to myself about being healthier and fitter, failing and then hating myself for it. Since starting to work with Adele I have benefitted from improved sleep, better diet and have maintained an exercise regime on a daily basis and am already seeing benefits (the waistline on some of the clothes are no longer as snug ????).
Most importantly, Adele has helped me to understand me and find the personality trait that I could use to make the commitment easier. The most valuable thing has been that Adele has helped me to learn about myself in a way that has given me the confidence to succeed but also to see a slip, not as a failure but as an opportunity for another “what if” strategy.
If you are thinking about working with Adele (and I admit I procrastinated for about a year), just jump in.
Coaching isn’t easy for the introverts amongst us but if you are willing to be brave it is worth it and Adele makes it far less scary than you imagine!

Pilates, the most wonderful meditations, delicious tea & wonderful food. The other ladies were all gorgeous and I only wish the day could have been a little longer to allow us to get to know each other.
Adele is a tiny, gorgeous little bundle of energy and it was clear that she really enjoys what she does. Her warmth and enthusiasm made me feel instantly comfortable and afterwards I had plenty to think about. I am now going to read my book (again!) and see if i can talk my husband into sending me off on her retreat in Greece for my milestone birthday next year!”Join my next Pilates retreat day focusing on Relaxation, Pilates, Self Care or find out more about my next Wellness retreat to Greece, with twice-daily Pilates in the warm sun and wonderful company and food click here Greece 4th-11th October 2020

Feeling so good rolling with the positive momentum of my Adele Stickland Get Gorgeous Pilates retreat in Spain.
Flowing easily with getting up earlier to give myself 90 minutes of delicious ‘me time’ first thing – whatever takes my fancy……meditation, strolling outdoors in nature, Nordic walking, Pilates, inspirational reading/audios/videos, educating myself about nutrition, journaling, a bath/shower…
And otherwise, making sure there’s a big jug of lemon water in the fridge to drink all day; choosing healthier and more nutritious foods; using a smaller plate / smaller portions / eating mindfully. None of this was foisted on us by Adele. We were simply offered it for a week in a joyful, spacious, easy going, restful rhythm and I don’t want to stop!! (Which belies the enormous about of thought and organisation that went into creating the retreat.) Adele teaches via connection, example and inspiration. She is sparkling, fun loving (what a gorgeous chuckle), deeply caring and understanding, natural and ‘real’, combined with awesome expertise and health wisdom. And draws a similarly easy-going, relaxed, positive circle around her. As well as having a wonderful time on retreat together, I have come home having made some very special new friends indeed – a bonus I wasn’t expecting.
And so now, all that remains is for me to continue the intention fostered on retreat to ‘honour my body’ and finish reading Adele’s wonderful new book, Gorgeous. Thank you so much! ????????????????

Gorgeous! is making very interesting reading and I’m enjoying every aspect. A lot of time and effort has gone into in-depth research and the overall health and nutritional advice are second to none.

Sandra Davies Get Gorgeous Book www.get-gorgeous.com/book
I found it fascinating. I don’t know if it’s our time in our lives, or if the way we think is different, but everything you wrote about is exactly where my head is, and how you presented the material, is just how I would explain things myself, so it all made perfect sense.
Obviously, your goal is to assist women to unlock a truer vision of themselves, and to understand the pitfalls we create for ourselves by hanging onto misconceptions in our inner dialogues. Weight is not the issue it’s our mindset and preconceived notions that have been honed and fostered, knowingly and subconsciously, throughout our lives.
I say to people, friends, all the time: do you hear what you are saying? The negative dialogue is what is crushing you…until you change the dialogue and the perception of yourself…nothing will change for you…
Also taking control of your environment, just because, ‘things have always been this way’…doesn’t mean they have to stay that way. Small steps, one step at time, can make all the difference…and putting oneself FIRST, is paramount for any positive change, and success to occur. As women we have allowed society to take our power away, and feel that we are not worthy, or ‘enough’ unless we are all things, all the time, to everyone in our lives…well I’m sorry…but we, women, have made every person on this planet…so I think we are more than worthy, and enough…but I digress lolI really liked how you presented the parts about social history, and how circumstances, over the last hundred years have shaped longstanding mindsets that affect the way we approach food…we must learn from the past, and start on a new path.
I could go on and on…I thought your examples/stories were relevant, humorous, and insightful.
I feel that what sets your book apart from other self-help books, is your willingness to share your personal history, and dialogue…you didn’t come to this fully formed, you took the journey as well, and I believe that openness has been a large part of what has created your success over the years, and with continue to…empathy is very powerful.
I will read your book again, and I feel that everyone I know should read it as well. I don’t know that I have given you exactly what you need, but I know you have given me something very special.
You’re amazing Adele. Thank you for being who you are.

What was your health like before you joined Get Gorgeous?
“I’d noticed that I was getting a lot of colds. I’m also an academic so being in a school type environment so I was getting a lot of colds, but also I was feeling rather lethargic.
From a nutrition point of view, I felt that I wasn’t putting the right things in my body but I didn’t know what the alternatives should be or could be in order to just feel that physically, feel more improved physically.
What have you tried or done in the past to improve your health?
“When I was a lot younger, it was easy just to cut certain foods out, you know, because predominantly, it is a weight thing for me but actually it’s not. I appreciate now that my weight is the outcome of what it was that I was putting into my body
I’ve tried typical other diets which worked for two to three weeks and then as soon as I eat normally, as I would call it, it all comes flooding back.
Rachel explains:
“I don’t want to feel deprived”
I like food and I’m the sort of person if you tell me I can’t have something then I want it all the more so I don’t want to be deprived and obviously what had happened is that you know, ‘
“I am active and I don’t want to feel hungry”
I have a dog and I’m quite active, but my body’s got used to that, so in order for me to change anything about me physically, there needed to be the combination of different food choices and moving more.
So whereas previously it was just a case of just not eating as much, and not changing anything on the movement side, and I think for a long time, actually, I was eating the wrong things and also not enough. My body was feeling constantly starved. – Yes. – But I’d be thinking, “I’m very hungry, “therefore I must be losing weight,” and then being disappointed. When actually, the scales were going the opposite way and I was confused, you know, because historically, put less in, the weight dropped off but that’s because my makeup was different then. I was a lot younger,
I realized when I hit my 40s that actually I needed some additional help with that because my old-fashioned habits weren’t working anymore and I think that’s been it, and as a result, I know when I’ve not drunk enough water now because I’m thirsty, and I know what thirsty means and I know what hungry means in my body”
“Now I feel more confident, proactive about managing my business because I am mindful of looking after myself”
“I feel more confident, more proactive about managing my business because I feel well, content and more mindful of looking after myself. Looking after myself which is in harmony with my business not in lieu of anything that I should be doing, as a businesswoman. I am not starving myself”I know that I live a million miles an hour that because of my work so I wanted something that would be naturally absorbed into my day to day life. I’ve tried other things before and I have to change my way of doing things too much, it didn’t fit, Get Gorgeous fits my lifestyle”Rachel @askthechameleon askthechameleon Get Gorgeous
I have just returned from my first retreat which was also Adele’s first too. Although being one of the first to book after Adele announced it in class last year, I was very apprehensive as I didn’t know what to expect or anyone on the retreat. My daughter dropped me off at the airport where Adele was waiting with her lovely big smile and enthusiastic welcome. After all meeting and a good flight to Spain Adele and her girl, Friday Katie drove us to a wonderful old mill house in rural Spain. Clean and comfortable with beautiful grounds for us all to enjoy after a good night sleep our days started with meditation followed by breakfast then our Pilates class, lunch the afternoon to relax or like a few of us a good walk into the small village a round trip of about 5miles. Early evening meeting and then dinner.
I am coming away feeling very relaxed and chilled also I have met some lovely people all with very different tales to tell. The food was to die for all cooked by Katie, mainly vegetarian with a little fish and every meal tasty and colourful, OH Katie you are an amazing young lady and when’s the book coming out. Thank you, Adele, for a wonderful week which I would highly recommend to anyone who needs a real chill out week to recharge your batteries. Being on the next one!!!

Greeted by Adele and offered a healthy herbal tea. We then did a ‘get to know you’ with the person next to us and shared with the group which broke the ice nicely. There was quite a mixture of people and attending for very different reasons. We then went on to a great Pilates session concentrating on technique which was worthwhile. This was finished with an Adele led relaxation which was beneficial as she emphasised the importance of your breath.The information was interesting making you think about valuing yourself and ‘self care’ is not being selfish but essential for you to function well. We all now have our personal mantra. The food was tasty too especially the chai pots! Adele had a good mixture across the session and a nice package showing her enthusiasm for health and well being, putting it across in a down to earth enjoyable way. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to stop and rethink how you look after yourself.Join my next Pilates retreat day

Before I did Get Gorgeous I used to look in the mirror and feel so disappointed and upset with myself. I had no control over what I ate, I used to obsess every day, all day about food, I used to constantly think about sugary foods, crisps, wine and the rest. I would get such strong urges to binge that it would leave me feeling stressed and depressed. I would overeat at every meal. I was grumpy with my family, short-fused with my poor children and never happy with what I was wearing. I would walk around all tense and self-conscious. NOW I feel energised, I feel sexy, I feel HEALTHY! I love my family more than ever as I have put my self obsessions away and there is more time in my head and heart for them. I have a new obsession EXERCISE!! I love it! It makes me feel fab, it puts colour in my cheeks and it makes food taste better than it ever has!! AND when I do have those naughties, I am at peace with it because I know that I am in control of how much and when and I know that my new lifestyle will be able to sustain that sugar.
Thank you Adele Stickland and all you GG ladies for your support and guidance. What a fabulous community of women! Now, where are the TSHIRTS so I can advertise the course whilst out EXERCISING!!!

Maggie Kay Thrivecraft Coach Gorgeous Pilates Retreat
Gail had followed Weight Watchers and Slimming World for nearly 20 years, yet she was going nowhere and knew that the results were short term. They never worked in the long term and it didn’t feel like a life change they were a temporary fix. She felt out of control with food and unhappy about it. She knew what she was doing was unhealthy but not knowing how to stop that, she needed guidance. She had read a lot about nutrition and the best things to do to get yourself fit and healthy but she couldn’t fit it into her family life. Gail is a legal secretary with twins.
Gail felt shame and guilt around her food choices, she felt out of control. She had the information on how to eat better and how to feel better but she needed to be part of something that was and guidance. Working together Gail began to identify her binge eating was caused by boredom and feeling overwhelmed with her work and family. She now eats intuitively and nourishes her body. she has now found a new direction and changed her life
Trying to do too much at once was overwhelming so she concentrated on the nutrition and worked towards to increasing her exercise
Gail’s results include:
- Listening to her body and intuitive rather than mindless eating.
- “Not stuffing her face” because she is eating emotionally
- Thinking of her day as a whole instead of moving from one meal or snack to another.
- Binge eating under control, she has identified she ate out of boredom and feeling overwhelmed emotionally or eating because she wanted to put things off.
- Feelings of shame around her behaviour have gone.
- Initially, Gail delayed starting the programme because she was scared of failing and she didn’t think she could do it, she didn’t eat of hunger,
- Feeling full of proper food rather than eating because she was bored.
- The mental load has been lifted there is no longer point counting, or weighing things, or have I had enough of this? Looking back that was such a waste of time.

A spellbinding book: the underlying seriousness of the content beguilingly presented in no nonsense language accessible to all. I began to read and forgot to breath until my tea was cold! Adele’s words and personality jump off the page with positive, life enhancing, nay life changing ‘tips,’ which are backed up by science (if your personal experience is not enough).
What I particularly liked was the way she deals with death and diet in the same calm but incredibly enabling tone. She does not undermine the power of grief but deftly deals with it in such a sure-footed manner that frankly I was quite unexpectedly moved to tears in what until then had been a positive ‘romp’ through important (but seemingly less definitively life changing) events, and how to deal with them.

Isolde Writer Get Gorgeous Book www.get-gorgeous.com/book
“Having been in the catering trade for all of my working life I know a little about nutrition and have done courses in it. This book is full of no-nonsense information delivered in a unique way. You can almost hear Adele talking to you from the pages and she comes across as a really lovely person. She is your friend. She is your advisor and you will be all the happier for reading this book. We need to look after ourselves better and not beat ourselves up about it!
I read this book in a couple of days and it has become my new bible!
It was a while before I realised this and reading this book made me realise that if I didn’t start to look after myself I would sink into depression….a feeling I know only too well.
Adele’s writing is direct and her knowledge is unsurpassed. This lady knows her stuff! So interesting to read the science behind the whole subject of nutrition.”

Adele opened space for me to communicate, held the space and continually checked to see where I was in the conversation emotionally. I found that call extremely useful to understand what was going on for me, and as an NLP Master Practitioner, Life Coach and Hypnotherapist, I would highly recommend working with Adele.

After years and years of slowing gaining weight and feeling miserable about it, I started to work with Adele in December 2018. 4 weeks on and I have lost 11lbs, over Christmas as well. This programme really does work. But this is not a denial programme or a faddy approach to health and fitness. Losing weight after 40 is hard to do, but I have not found it so. I have felt no hunger pains, no cravings, have been able to look at trashy nutritionally empty food for what it is and make a choice. Equally, I have enjoyed delicious food including things I love such as cheese and hummus because they have been balanced and give me the protein I need. I can’t tell you what a joy it is to fit into my clothes and wear things in my wardrobe which I brought hoping to slim into some years ago. Adele is an accomplished life coach as well as fitness and nutritionalist and has practical tailored suggestions for me as a vegetarian. I am only on module 4 of 12 and am amazed by the results so far, looking forward to the rest to come!

What a fantastic holiday on the Pilates Retreat in Malaga in May. I thought that I would take a week to come back down to earth before posting a review to reflect on the week and what a positive and beneficial impact it has had on my own health and well being plus the absolutely marvellous, inspirational and supportive Adele and Katie that led and organised the retreat.
The other companions who attended the retreat were so interesting with everyone being there for their own reason. That is why the retreat was brilliant as there was freedom and flexibility in what you wanted to do as we all needed to get different outcomes from the retreat. Putting 13 relative strangers together was expertly managed by Adele and it was a totally 100% positive vibe amongst the group. There were so many laughs around the pool, dining room table and whilst doing pilates as some of the proposed positions to get into where largely only achieved by Adele but my goodness did we have fun trying!
The food was superb, fresh fish, fresh vegetables and fruit expertly prepared by Katie 3 times a day with fresh eggs from the chickens who lived at the side of the house. Katie was such an adorable positive complement to Adele – you would think they were sisters as they both sparked off each other which made the whole holiday so brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble – you don’t get that even at a 5 star hotel but they both did with enormous smiles on their faces.
The accommodation was out of this world – loads of space and privacy and in a lovely quiet location – Adele could not have picked a better place. There were board games, videos available but to be honest, we were normally fast asleep in bed by 10pm. I can thoroughly recommend going on a retreat with Adele – she really does make you laugh and keep you thoroughly entertained and has an infectious mojo that you cannot but help adore her. I personally took away the fact that it is okay to have some ” downtime and me time” and that we shouldn’t guilty in doing so and actually having a bit of down time gives you tons more energy.

Before I invested in Adele’s Gorgeous Retreat I was very out practise when it came to Pilates and Yoga and was excited to be invited by a friend to join a local group of people that I could get to know and travel to a beautiful location to ‘get back into it’.
Since the retreat I have felt refreshed and leant new ways to relax and most importantly breathe through the tough times!
The most valuable feature (s) of Adele’s Gorgeous Retreat are the amazing location and accommodation standards, the local home-cooked food and of course the quality of teaching, being very inclusive and for all levels.

What brought you on board with Get Gorgeous? What inspired you to connect with me and come on board Get Gorgeous
“I was was missing something in my life. I was not confident and I just felt really empty. I followed you on your Pilates, I followed some of your blogs, and it’s just literally an email came in one day and said, why don’t we have a chat? And I just reached out, and from that very first conversation, I felt comfortable talking to you.”
So, from that position that you were in, what was it, was it seven, eight months ago, how are you feeling now, what is the transformation that you’ve seen in yourself?
“Everything’s changed. My life has completely changed, I have just found the person that I want to be, and it’s not about creating myself, it’s just about being confident to be the person you want to be. I used to think everybody was judging me.
And now, you’re comfortable being yourself?
“I love being myself. I love the fact I can look in a mirror, and like, like myself. You have no idea, how powerful that has been. The whole of my adult life, there are a handful of photographs of me, because I would not let anyone take my photograph, I didn’t like my looks, I was very detrimental about myself, and now, I will go out without makeup, I will have my hair into tousled, because it doesn’t need to be perfect. Because I’m not perfect, I’m so grateful for how I look, but I’m more grateful for how I feel”
You stepped into yourself and you are confident. And how has that affected your business?
“Oh my God, my business is flying. Flying. I have gone from being, that little girl behind the desk, who was too scared to come out from the desk, who was quite happy to shout and demand and push, because, that’s how you run a business, of course that’s how you run a business, isn’t it?
And the reality of it is, no, you don’t. You open yourself up. Opening yourself up and sometimes, people look and don’t quite like you, I actually don’t worry about that any more, because, that’s about them, that’s not about me, I love how I can connect, especially how I can connect with other women. Never had that in my life. Never, always surrounded myself with masculinity, I now crave female contact. I am networking, something that I have never done.
And you’re speaking, as well. You’re speaking onstage, aren’t you?
“I am and that is so out of my comfort zone, I love the fact that I push myself out of that comfort zone, and I do that, and what I get back from it, is also my true self and I speak from the heart, because that is massive, I love that, and I love how it makes me feel.”
Good, that’s superb, am I right in thinking that you had a background with Slimming World and you were a leader, is that right?
Well,I’ve done Slimming World for two years, I’ve lost four stone, which was the start.
But it didn’t help me with not liking myself very much and then I got to a point where I was thinking to myself: How can you tell yourself, you can have 15 sins a day? What is that you’re saying to yourself? 15 sins, sins, the word sins.
I didn’t understand any nutrition, and it was the fact that I really wanted to understand more about how my body worked, what I ate, fuelled it, being told, yeah, you can eat endless low-fat things, and all of those things, and of course, now it’s coming out, isn’t it all those sugar in low fat things. It’s an absolute eye-opener, starting this journey. Opening my mind to learning about nutrition and just educating, educating myself.
I understand what it all does, it’s not about restriction, it’s about education.
Excellent. Brilliant. Inspiring words. Thank you so much, Sandra.

There were a few things in the course I knew already but didn’t want to face up to, such as the amount of sugar and additives in my food that I was ignoring, but now I feel renewed and empowered by Adele’s words to change mine and my family’s life for the better. I am now exercising more, sleeping more and no longer suffer from sugar cravings. 2020 is going to be a great and successful year for me and my family.

I’ve been Get Gorgeous- ing for about a year too and I’ve noticed all sorts of changes. when I joined I too was hoping for a quick fix despite having read the blurb I still wanted the weight to drop off by magic! anyway I have moved away totally from weight as a measurement -we have no scales in the house.
I feel as though I am in a good place. I too look forward to exercise and I actively seek out new ways to exercise and new people to exercise with. actually doing enough cardio is something I need to work on in the weeks when life gets in the way of my cycling to work (I need to timetable some HIIT workouts more regularly) but I’m great at getting my 10k plus daily steps in and doing pilates and yoga weekly – I’m managing 1 run a week I want to up that to 3 short ones (and I still haven’t done my park run watch this space) I feel that I am actually looking after my body (and my soul with help from Adele Stickland) at last.
The emphasis every day in my head is on putting good things in to fuel and support and nourish my body not on depriving my body of anything. I feel proud of how strong and toned my body has become. I struggled a bit at first with the earning of the carbs but now its just a genuine habit – I don’t eat starchy carbs unless I have exercised I eat bolognasie or chilli etc without pasta or rice on those days and cheese it up – its delicious. planning ahead is becoming ingrained too and we always have enough veg in the fridge for a tasty salad – we add cooked green beans and asparagus and all sorts of variations on a theme and I’ve become a lidl /Aldi convert for their great selection of fresh fish. even the kids are eating fresh fish now! this post is too long but you get the idea. keep the faith and the rest will follow xxxxxx

I appreciate Louise’s wonderful comments that are written from her heart. Louise gifted me as a client when she told me that I was a powerful and intuitive coach. I hold that comment close to my heart. Personal development is always important as a coach and I feel more comfortable with the balance of respecting a client’s personal journey, supporting and moving them forward. Which is why Louise’s comment is so important to me: “Adele’s ability to pinpoint some of my deeper limiting behaviours and beliefs was really helpful to understand myself better.

“I do not feel the need to hide less healthy food away but nor do I feel as someone commented that they do not want to eat sweet things at least sometimes. This made me realise that I am feeling generally more confident about food choices.
I think the main reason for this is that your programme is not a diet – so there is no need to feel deprived of anything or feel hungry. This in turn means not only that I don’t feel cravings for things I “can’t have” and also there is not the feeling that “I have messed up today so it doesn’t matter anymore, I will have to start again tomorrow” which could lead to further unhealthy choices for the rest of the day.
Now I know that the occasional biscuit (or ice cream in hot weather) is not a problem as long as it stays occasional and the good habits are kept up most of the time I am feeling much more confident. Of course logically I knew this already but now really understand it.
This feels like one of those “light-bulb” moments – realising the benefit of that changed mindset.”

My name is Emma and I am a Social Worker, plus I am at college, training to be a counsellor. The reason I attended Adele’s Pilates and relaxation day, was because I have been struggling with weight and health issues (both mental and physical).I found all of Adele’s relaxation sessions really useful, fun and interesting! I loved the Pilates in the first part of the session to get us all warmed up and ready to go. The relaxation, guided visualizations were fantastic and I found myself feeling so much more relaxed. I particularly enjoyed the NLP and Tapping exercises. These are both things that I will consider using in my personal and my professional life. It was also really good to meet new, like-minded people and share ideas and experiences.
My biggest fear about working with Adele and joining her session was being very much out of shape and unfit. I need not have worried; everyone was lovely and Adele in particular is just so warm, welcoming and fun!
If you’re on the fence about working with Adele I’d say JUST DO IT! You won’t regret it.

“loved the easy to achieve mantras and targets. Can be a bit heavy on technical info but all really useful stuff. Loved this book and its a must if you have tried and failed at any diet or life style change. Will open your eyes to how easy it can be to boost self esteem and feel and look better. debunks all the myths about other fad diets and gives you a real sense of what you CAN achieve and how to make yourself a better person and feel good. A must read Bible for anyone needing help with nutrition and well being. Just do it!”

“I loved how you included real people, described their ‘why’ so I could identify with them. I thoroughly enjoyed the mindset and movement chapter and the explanation on carbs. My biggest joy was getting to know you a little more. I loved your honesty and references to your own family. It makes you real for other readers and I think that is so important with the message you are trying to get across. It wasn’t patronising, it was written with empathy but also the message was clear to me. ‘It’s all in my hands, get off your backside and leave the excuses if you want it enough’. I really loved how you were not afraid to challenge the myths of dieting. That blew away some of the things that I have been struggling with because of the weight/inches I have put on recently”
