I would like to thank Sarah-Jane Johnston of evolution34 for the support she has shown me throughout my recent health kick start journey.

Following a food intolerance test, Sarah-Jane designed a Reset & Heart Health program that ensured I followed a balanced diet, giving me all the nutrients I need.

Sarah-Jane took the time to understand my busy lifestyle and created a plan that was both easy to follow and achievable.

I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah-Jane to others who may wish to get back on the health and fitness journey!

Since working with Sarah-Jane I have noticed many improvements, my digestive system is much happier. Plus, I have more energy, no longer am I crashing in the evening unable to function. I am sharper and my mind is clearer and more focused which is helping me to manage daily requirements of business , life, and motherhood.

I recently contacted Sarah-Jane due to suspecting food intolerances and I was noticing progressively worsening changes over the last few years. Sarah-Jane took the time to understand my concerns during an initial discovery call and ascertained if working together was the best fir for us both.

Sarah-Jane suggested a food intolerance test was a good idea and then when the results came back, she explained them thoroughly to me and shared recipes to fit into my life in the areas I struggled with. Then a second call after a month to check in and make further suggestions.

My team and I have secured a massive promotion this month, something I have been aiming towards for 4.5 years and I do think Sarah-Jane’s help this month was a contributing factor to this, I don’t believe it is just a coincidence.

Thank you, Sarah-Jane, I have been telling everyone about what you can do!

With massive awesome thanks, Claire

“We began working together in January 2024 and she had changed my life. I worked with Sarah-Jane in early 2024 after my IBS had gotten out of control. I hated getting dressed, I no longer felt confident and was unable to lose weight.
I spoke to Sarah-Jane in November 2023, desperate for a solution and tried her food intolerance test. I thought it would be a one stop shop and give me my solution. However, it didn’t….it was a much bigger problem. One I have underestimated.

We began working together in January 2024 and she had changed my life. We established it was how I was eating and my relationship with food.

We worked together for three months and now, I know what to eat, how to eat and have lost weight.

I am healthier and happier and can’t thank Sarah-Jane enough. Anyone who isn’t happy with their body, health or eating habits please speak to Sarah-Jane, she is able to help you in ways you can’t begin to imagine.

Thank you for everything! I recommend you 110%

I have type 2 diabetes. Before I started working with Sarah-Jane, this was not well controlled, but with her informative but soft approach I can happily say I have a more understanding of my condition. The benefits of having my diabetes under control have been life changing.

Sometimes you don't know where to start with changing your lifestyle. How do you even know what to ask for if you don't know. Sarah-Jane has been able to draw out the questions I needed to ask and educate me to be the best version of me.

It involves self-discipline and a willingness to be committed, but Sarah will metaphorically hold your hand through the process.

I have been working collaboratively with Sarah-Jane for a year now. I remember clearly on my first zoom call with her, I was adamant drinking diet Coke was not a problem, and she would have to convince me otherwise. We laugh about it now. That's one thing that Sarah-Jane is great at; her approach is not directive or intrusive, but gentle, kind, patient, sensitive, and there's always a touch of humour.

Her knowledge of nutrition is outstanding.

One year on, I don't drink coke or any other artificial sweetener, because she has compassionately given me the knowledge.

Thank you, Sarah-Jane xx

I have no hesitation is recommending the professional services of Sarah-Jane.

I only agreed to take part in a food intolerance test because my husband, Phillip, wanted one but I wasn’t prepared for the results, and it is fair to say they were a bit of a shock to me. However, the expert guidance of Sarah-Jane and calm professional approach I was able to change my diet without it being too disruptive and within 3 week the difference was very noticeable.

The follow up care was very much appreciated, and I know I can call upon her any time for advice.

My daughter is 16 years old and was having a fair amount of stomach trouble, bloating and stomach pains to name just a couple. This had been going on for some considerable time, causing her great distress.

During a meeting with Sarah-Jane we started discussing what Sarah-Jane does, she advised that she was nutritionist and my ears pricked up, I thought that she might be able to help my daughter, Tianna.

I explained to Sarah-Jane what was happening with Tianna, and she was confident that she would not only find the problem but also offer help, assistance along guidance on how to keep it at bay.

We arranged a meeting between Sarah-Jane and Tianna. Sarah-Jane went through everything with Tianna and then arranged a food intolerance test which flagged up that Tianna was intolerant to several foods, these were also foods that she ate a lot of.

Sarah-Jane then laid out a plan with Tianna and gave her lots of options, recipes along with substitute foods. She then checked in with Tianna over the next three months to ensure that she was still on track.

I am pleased to say that Tianna is coping very well now, she has got used to her new food and avoids that ones that upset her.

This is all down to Sarah-Jane’s expertise and empathetic nature, thank you.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your support in resolving my food intolerance issues. I have worked with a nutritionist previously and found all the advice a bit confusing and contradictory. My experience with you was entirely different – you explained everything in a simple and matter-of-fact way, which was easy to follow and more importantly, easy to implement.

My food intolerance test showed I was sensitive to a few ingredients and unfortunately the main ones are my go-to “treats!”. No wine, no crisps and no chocolate was a seriously gloomy future! With your help and guidance, I have adapted my lifestyle and with your suggestions found my “treats” made without the stuff I am intolerant to! Result and relief. Very happy!

So, thank you for your realistic down-to-earth approach. Your expertise in creating heathy meal plans that work for my lifestyle and for my health have really made a difference. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who is suffering with their digestion or their joint mobility and flexibility.

Thank you! Best wishes

It was a privilege to welcome Sarah-Jane to our area during industry week, to provide our learners with an engaging and inspirational talk on their personal development and career pathways.  Sarah-Jane reflected on her own life experiences and career pathways, which gave our learners an insight into the options available to themselves and their steps upon finishing their courses at Chesterfield College. We hope to welcome Sarah-Jayne back for future events within our area

Since starting around 6 months ago. chair Pilates has helped to improve my posture, body strength and balance.

I was sceptical when I first started Pilates.  Yoga doesn't interest me because I can't do many of the manoeuvres and felt a twit and so I worried that Pilates would be the same.

Whilst I am currently unable to do mat Pilates, I was encouraged when Sarah-Jane agreed she could help me with chair Pilates instead.

Since starting around 6 months ago. chair Pilates has helped to improve my posture, body strength and balance.  What's not to like?!

I started my Pilates Journey six months ago. And have been so encouraged how quickly my overall strength and fitness has improved. No more having to stretch my back in bed at night.

Although I can't always make it to the online classes. I love the videos as they work around me. I can always just pause a 30-minute blast video and add in a few more exercises before returning to the video for the warm down creating myself a 50-minute class.

I have found that even in my other homework outs I now incorporate Pilates.

Many thanks Sarah-Jane

I have been attending Pilates classes for over a year and as a sixty-seven-year-old who was unfit and had no interest in exercise I have become hooked. I love attending the classes and Sarah-Jane is brilliant and makes you feel welcome no matter your age or level of experience. The effect of the exercises has been life changing for me. As an ex-smoker I found that my breathing had deteriorated over the years limiting my abilities. However, due to the exercises and especially breathing appropriately I am now able to do so much more than I ever thought possible. Thank you, Sarah-Jane.

Few know that I have a family history of digestive issues.  My Grandfather died of bowel cancer (which is hereditary) and my father has Crohn’s disease (also hereditary).

This has always left me with some paranoia when it comes to digestion.  I heard about evolution34 and their intolerance test.  I took the test and was fascinated by the results, and particularly my inaccurate pre perceived intolerances.

It was quick and painless with all instructions and consultations highly organised.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this process to anyone if they have concerns or simply wish to explore how food is reacting with your body.

Thank you, Sarah-Jane, for putting my mind at ease

Just wanted to email and say thank you again, we had some good feedback from yesterday, a few people requested your slides and many of the ladies in the office have mentioned they have spotted some of the men who attended checking their food labels during lunch time! Hopefully, they picked something up to take away with them.

Thank you again for visiting us.

A massive Thank You! for your support, encouragement, and experience in helping me to feel happier within my body. You have quite literally transformed my approach to the foods I eat and how I feel about myself. This was something I had thought impossible after 35 years of feeling like a failure. I started work with Sarah Jane in September 2021 on a 12-week programme to help me lose weight in preparation for a family holiday. I was absolutely thrilled with the results, although I feared that they would be short term, just like everything else I had tried in the past.

This testimonial is in recognition of the fact that, 2 years later, I have maintained my lower weight and continued with the principles Sarah Jane and I had established while working together. These two outcomes alone are huge; however, they are eclipsed by another.

The 12-week programme proved that I could change my body. Since then, I have grown in confidence and self-belief to know that I absolutely CAN manage my weight. I am so grateful for Sarah Jane’s calm and confident reassurance that I could do this.

After so many years of feeling out of control and unhappy with my body,I’m in a very different place now, and it feels amazing!

I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah Jane’s services for anyone looking to change their weight or their belief in what is possible for them to achieve. You couldn’t be in better hands.

I started Pilates with Sarah-Jane in April 2022, I had moved from Kent and was looking for a new class, due to a hip injury sustained a few years ago. I was pleased to have found a new (and much more attentive) instructor in Sarah-Jane. I have thoroughly enjoyed attending the weekly classes and was delighted to have the opportunity to have a one-to-one with Sarah-Jane as my Birthday Gift this year. I found it very informative. It gave me a chance to ask questions about the various exercises which isn’t always easy in class. While at this session I was able to perfect Rolling Like a Ball and catching my pelvis. I had never been able (or confident enough) to attempt this during the main classes. This session also made me aware of my body positioning and consequently going forward I feel better able to perform the exercises. Thank you, Sarah-Jane”

Unfortunately I didn’t take up Pilates with you until after I'd become sluggish and achy. I did on the whole eat well through my peri-menopause years and managed to shed around 4 stone, I did suffer some symptoms but not as many as some woman I know. After taking up Pilates at about the age of 56 I’m now 60 with Sarah-Jane I've become more motivated, less stressed, less sluggish, and certainly less achy. I haven't been able to do Pilates for around 3 months as back in July I had to have a hysterectomy due to Uterine Cancer, I've been back in class for 3 weeks now and I'm beginning to feel awesome again thanks to Sarah-Jane, who adapts exercises to help and encourage all strengths abilities and needs of individual clients. Thank you, Sarah-Jane xx

Sarah-Jane recently presented a Menopause Awareness webinar to 40 of the Banner Jones Solicitors employees. She also talked about how we can help ourselves through nutrition and exercise. It was a thoroughly enlightening talk which met with our objectives of raising awareness within the business, encouraging our employees to seek support and to help our employees feel empowered to have discussions with their colleagues and line managers. Sarah-Jane’s knowledge and passion shone through and has been a great kick-start for us. From planning through to follow-up, Sarah-Jane has been accommodating and professional. Thanks again for everything.

I’d like to express my heartfelt thanks to Sarah-Jane for her guidance and support. A few months after finding out I was pregnant I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Knowing that good control of my sugar levels would have a direct impact on my baby meant that I needed to understand exactly what I was eating and how to adjust my eating habits to ensure my blood sugars remained within target levels. Thanks to Sarah-Jane help I was known amongst the perinatal diabetic nurses for the best controlled lady under their care!

I contacted Sarah-Jane after a dreadful bout of illness that left me feeling completely drained, I had been suffering with a nasty virus which ultimately led me to have uterine prolapse. It was so upsetting- I just didn’t know what to do with myself. Sarah-Jane was so supportive, she suggested exercises that I could do at home until I was well enough to actually attend a class. I attended a 121 session to get me started and it was so helpful- it made me realise that I needed to be doing Pilates regularly. I have been attending weekly classes for over 6 months now and the difference is incredible! I thought I would have to have an operation to address the prolapse but when I finally had my hospital appointment it was confirmed that the exercises I had been doing had worked wonders and that I only needed physio! I can’t thank Sarah-Jane enough- I am so much healthier, happier and more energised, the classes are fab and I have met some lovely people! It’s been the best change lifestyle change I could have made!

Many thanks for your support and for great presentation Sarah-Jane at our annual Train to Safety event. You provided the perfect counterbalance of workplace health and well-being initiatives to the safety orientated presentations. I nervously attended one of your open Pilates sessions and immediately realised that the programme would be the answer to my problem. Since then I have attended regularly and all I can say is, I feel about 10 years younger. It dawned on me that all workplaces with our ageing workforce and extended retirement threshold, should have in place a program like this on offer for all their workforce. So, thanks not only for providing some great ideas to the other attendees to our CPD event, but also to the additional 10 years of mobility and fitness you have provided me with.

I highly recommend Sarah-Jane in her capacity as a Nutrition and Weight specialist. I embarked on a nutritional journey with Sarah-Jane at the start of the year and having completed it have a far greater understanding of different types of food and how to manage diet and exercise. I feel much healthier as a consequence! Thank you!

Sarah Jane is totally all about supporting you to make those small changes to daily choices that over time lead to a big difference to the way you eat, what you eat and the way you understand nutrition. Sarah-Jane educates you as you go through the nutrition programme so you can learn to do it on your own. She is full of encouragement and completely non-judgemental (even when I said I regularly had two chocolate biscuits and a coffee for breakfast).

Everything is personalised to you so it's your plan and fits your lifestyle not someone else's' and it’s easy to follow because it’s tailored to you.

She's on hand for advice or support when you have wobbles and is always full of enthusiasm and smiles.

I really enjoyed working with her and I'd highly recommend Sarah-Jane for her knowledge and approach to her nutrition and weight management programmes.

I would just like to say a massive thank you for helping me on my journey to a better understanding of foods & which ones are good for me & which ones are better in general for you & your gut health.

I would personally highly recommend Sarah-Jane for her advice & knowledge of gut heath & for her one-to-one skills with giving the advice, so it didn’t feel like I was being made to go on a diet or a telling off or a lecture just recommendations to head you in the right direction.

The older you get the more important it seems to be to eat more correctly & also eat what’s right for you & your body’s needs. Sara will help you down this road with.

So, if you looking to improve your food or diet or your just your well-being in general, I can’t say enough to recommend Sarah-Jane

"We first heard about evolution34 when Sarah-Jane spoke at a Chamber event locally in Rotherham. Her story resonated with what we were hoping to achieve with our team - educating them on nutrition and lifestyle as part of our health and wellbeing programme. Sarah-Jane tailored an interactive nutrition workshop to support and educate our staff and created a bespoke Menopause session for our team too.

We have found working with Sarah-Jane a pleasure - she really understands what we are trying to achieve at Mattress Online and she was warmly welcomed by our team with her approachable manner and friendly demeanour. We look forward to working with Sarah-Jane and evolution34 again.”

I spoke to Sarah-Jane about the nutrition work she is doing and was intrigued about what Macros, Micros where, as a nurse thought I knew a bit about nutrition …. how wrong was I?!

When I first enquired, I was worried about the money side and was reluctant to prioritise this money on myself however after some thought and even more weight yoyoing I just thought “why not!”.

I knew for me to be a positive role model for my near teenage daughters and adult son my health and well-being was important, and this conclusion had taken me many years to realise.

I had been wary due to home being a building site however I was still able to make the changes needed and since starting this journey, I have stopped hiccupping and coughing in the mornings, I am sleeping much better, my blood pressure is now within normal limits, and I have lost 2 inches from around my middle.

I would recommend a chat if nothing more, Sarah-Jane is the most passionate, motivational, and knowledgeable woman I have met for a while and I plan to continue working with her whilst making the changes I and now subsequently my family have made.

Thank you, Sarah-Jane.

Working in IT can be a sedentary occupation and it was clear that sitting still was not helping my general mobility. Having suffered from back problems for 20 years, addressing this occupational hazard via exercise was going to be an issue.

Sarah Jane from Evolution34 sent a schedule of Pilates exercises and after running these past my physiotherapist for a medical opinion I embarked on a beginners 1-2-1 session. I can say, having successfully completed 6 sessions, that I can now bend further than my waist and already feel far more flexible which has had a positive effect on my lower back and neck.

I have booked on for a second round of sessions and look forward to maybe being able to reach my toes once more!

I am absolutely thrilled with the nutritional coaching I have had from Sarah Jane. Not only have I now lost one and a half stone in weight but I now have the knowledge and understanding about food to help me
maintain and continue to improve my health and eating habits moving forward.

The information I received from our 1-2-1 coaching sessions has been invaluable. Sarah-Jane's attention to detail, the processes she uses, her motivational skills and encouragement inspire you to succeed! Not only am I now 2 dress sizes smaller but I have more energy and don't suffer from the fatigue I had before. I would highly recommend Sarah-Jane's nutrition coaching services to anyone.

I am so pleased I have found Sarah-Jane to have her looking after my health.

I have had a problem with food for years, including allergies, and my eating habits had got very samey, and not eating a great deal in general, so I needed to get a good eating plan, and introduce vitamins and minerals that were currently non-existent, into my body. I was feeling sick, dizzy and tired. I was eating snacks and one meal a day. I also had joint and general pain issues, some of the food I was eating exacerbated these problems, but having identified these, I was able to make that change.

I now feel healthier, more awake, less dizzy and able to exercise for longer. I will now always have this information but will keep meeting just to keep on the right track. I would highly recommend Sarah-Jane to anyone, she is easy to speak to, knows her stuff and has changed my life, I wish I had found her years ago.

I have multiple joint problems that cause a lot of pain at times. I was advised by the hospital physiotherapist that muscles like “movement” so I thought that Pilates would help. My range of movement has greatly improved since starting Pilates. Some areas are now pain free. If a problem does flare up I seem to recover faster too. I feel more energised after class and more positive in general as I have less pain
