Who are Eat Move, Be Happy – Health Behaviour Change Specialists?
We’re Cerin and Anna, and between us, we’ve spent decades helping people do things they didn’t think they could.
Not because we push harder than anyone else, or because we have a magic formula. But because we understand that the thing standing between most people and a healthier life isn’t effort or information. It’s belief. Specifically, the story people tell themselves about what’s possible for them, given everything they’re dealing with.
Our job is to help you rewrite that story. Using practical tools, expert coaching, and a lot of patience, we help people build healthier, more active lives, especially people who’ve tried before and found that standard programmes just don’t fit their situation.
Cerin Rees, Health Behaviour Change Specialist
Cerin has been coaching people in some form for over 25 years, starting as a karate instructor in his late teens, moving into gym-based coaching in his late twenties, and spending the last decade specialising in working with people living with neurological and chronic health conditions.
That breadth of experience matters. It means that whatever you’re dealing with, whether it’s a stroke, Parkinson’s, MS, post-surgical recovery, or something that doesn’t fit neatly into any category, Cerin has almost certainly worked with someone in a similar position. And found a way through.
He’s known for his patience, his creativity, and his refusal to accept that there isn’t a plan B. (There is always a plan B.)

Anna Sheryn, Health Behaviour Change Specialist
Anna’s route into health coaching isn’t a typical one, and that’s exactly what makes her effective.
Before becoming a personal trainer, Anna spent years as a learning and development coach in the financial sector, helping people build new skills, shift entrenched habits, and perform at their best under pressure. She brought that expertise directly into health and fitness coaching, where the psychological and behavioural challenges are just as important as the physical ones.
Anna is also one of a relatively small number of practitioners in the UK qualified as a menopause coaching specialist, an area where good, personalised support remains genuinely hard to find.
She’s enthusiastic, warm, and almost certainly laughing. Don’t let that fool you. She’s also exceptionally good at what she does.

Why it works
Most programmes tell you what to do. We help you figure out how to actually do it, and keep doing it, even when life gets in the way.
We use simple, evidence-based tools to help you understand your own patterns, plan for the obstacles you’ll face, and build accountability that doesn’t depend on willpower alone. Our clients don’t just change their habits. They change how they think about themselves.
That shift, from “I can’t, not with everything I’ve got going on” to “actually, I can,” is what we’re here for.
