About Janet Thomson

An outstanding life coach, Janet's approach is informative, motivational and empowering.

She has already changed the way thousands of people think about food in order to help them slim, using mind-reprogramming in place of willpower – which makes her Champneys resident Jedi. 

Mind reprogramming

Every day we make more than 200 decisions about our food choices, with habits and emotions driving many of those decisions.

Janet believes that “thoughts are the language of the brain and determine everything we do. This applies to losing weight too. If we believe we can’t stick to it, we won’t. My mind-reprogramming plan gradually helps to rewire the brain and change the way people think about eating.”

What they say...

"Ten months after working with you at Champneys, I have lost three stone. I haven't done masses more exercise or joined a gym ... just followed your advice.

As silly as it sounds, I eat what I want: it's what I want that has changed! Significantly, my BMI has dropped from 30.6 (obese) to 24.2 (safe range). Would it be exaggerating to say, "you saved my life?"

– JUDY WILLIAMSON | TRING RETREAT, SUMMER 2019
