Testimonials
"Bev Carter has been my trainer, coach, confidante and friend for almost 9 years. We met just after the birth of my first child, Lilly, and have worked together multiple times a week, rain, hail or shine since then. As a working mother, my "me" time is extremely precious and it is a pleasure and an inspiration to spend it with Bev.
As a trainer, she is in turn encouraging, firm, good-humoured and sometimes downright funny. However, what draws Bev away from the pack is her serious knowledge of the body, her insight into the workings of the human mind and her ability to gently but effectively motivate her clients and get results.
These skills have not only been hard won through diligent study but have been practically applied in her own life as a professional athlete. Tested by the hard knocks of competition and injury, Coach Carter's knowledge has become extremely sturdy. These exceptional skills and her talent as a patient, careful and encouraging teacher make her a great partner in my lifetime fitness adventure.
Bev Carter is a well-being miracle worker and whenever I am away from Australia, I miss our sessions dreadfully."

Every-body needs to learn to exercise like this!
How Bev works with the body and the exercises she has developed is all totally aligned with the truth of how our bodies are supposed to move and be, there is nothing Bev asks you to do that goes against the natural flow of the body, and because of this the connection with the body is so profoundly deep and yet it comes from doing the most simple of movements. What Bev teaches and shares is the most gorgeous way to exercise your body; and she takes the deepest care of you whilst you go through whatever process happens for you, whether it is a physical block from breaking down old exercise patterns in the body or an emotional block in just being able to accept to allow yourself to let go and surrender to your body, whatever the case, Bev is right there with her incredible care and beautiful expertise and wisdom, knowing exactly what it is you need in that precise moment for support. And all of this Bev does and manages very well with an enormous amount of love, grace and fun. |
Having Bev teach me about movement and my body was and continues to be a revelation.
Having swum laps for seven years as my preferred exercise and had a trainer at the gym for an equivalent amount of time, and even experienced some yoga for a year (not my favourite choice), I thought in an innocent but ignorant kind of way that I knew something about myself and my own relationship with my body when it came to exercise and movement. Little did I realise when commencing training with Bev that I was a virgin to the relationship that I would be beginning with my core muscles, my breathing when I moved in certain exercises, and the fluidity and flexibility that these movements introduce. Bev deconstructed my thoughts about exercise and my body within the first half hour of my first session, and basically presented to me an opportunity to explore and experience a deeper level of connection within myself that I hadn't actually given credibility to before with exercise and movement for harmony in the body. |
Presentations
We have received amazing feedback for Bev’s session presented to our Network of Winning Women (NOWW), an internal forum supporting the careers of women at EY. “Being your Best” is an interactive, action oriented and entertaining session. I was impressed with the level of professionalism and attention to detail prior to the session to ensure Bev understood the brief and delivered to our expectations. A highly successful event ~ Jacqueline Maroney, EY - Sydney
It was our wonderful to have you present for the International Dermal Institute last night – the feedback has been very positive and motivating. You delivered an inspiring session that was aimed perfectly at our audience. I know that many of our students and stockists are constantly looking at ways to coach, inspire and motivate not only themselves but also their teams. I do hope that they see what a great resource you have to offer and look at utilising your skills and knowledge in their personal and business arenas
~ Leanne Lorge, Dermalogica - Sydney True MovementI just simply love the True Movement classes with Bev - she has a wonderful ability of nurturing a space of deep support, care and at the same time, fun - now that is totally amazing! Also, the movements with the music seem to encourage shifts in the body which feel really re-energizing and healing. I am looking forward to enjoying more True Movement classes for years to come. :)

Rehabilitation and Movement
Our time with Bev has taken us from resistant to totally engaged. She found the language and actions appropriate to our needs and temperaments. We feel stronger both mentally and physically, able to deal with challenges. We most treasure our time with Bev because not only do we trust her with our wellbeing she leaves us with a sense of joy and accomplishment. A rare and wonderful gift.
~ Professor Richard Dunn & Suzanne Davies, Director RMIT - Melbourne/Sydney I have had a back condition for the last 8yrs & I'm always been fearful of doing exercises that may flare my back up, but with Bev's experience, gentle nature and her amazing ability to notice even the smallest changes in my body, I now know that this will not happen. With Bev's guidance I have not only improved my strength, flexibility & confidence, I have also learnt how to self nurture and care for my body. The sessions really do offer a true wellbeing for your whole body. Forever grateful ~KM, Sydney True MovementThis is my second class of True Movement with Bev and can I just say – wow. Bev is lively and fun! After the class my body feels energised and alive, without soreness or stiffness.
Love TM with Bev. ~ KG, Sydney iShine |

Thank you for all the fabulous information. You truly are living the dream and being authentic with your fresh approach ~ Janet , Millward Brown
Core-connection is something to look forward to every week. Living with an autoimmune disorder that affects my joints and muscles I wasn’t sure if I would handle the class, but with Bev’s guidance I found myself improving each week. My strength has noticeably increased and what’s more, you leave Bev with a smile on your face and more confidence and love for yourself. Not what you expect from your typical exercise class. Thanks Bev ~ Naomi, GTI Tourism

iShine is an invaluable tool that allows me to continue my training and my personal connection with Bev wherever I am in the world."
Catherine Martin, Double Academy Award Winner Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge I have discovered SO many foods and things from iShine..... and you know I still refer back to my notes and folder where I have kept everything. It just helps every now and then remind me of how I felt during this time and keeps me there...6 weeks last forever.... I hope all your new i-Shiner's find that too.... : )
~ Jane Voigt What participants say...
With Bev's guidance I've not only improved my strength, flexibility & confidence, I've also learnt how to self-nurture and care for my body.
During the exercises I'm always amazed at Bev's ability to notice even the smallest changes in my body at exactly the same time as I feel it! It's truly amazing.. I always leave feeling amazing, connected & de stressed. ~KM, Sydney Health and Wellbeing Coaching
I was in a pretty low state of mind (and had been for quite a while) when I approached Bev for help. She was very supportive and encouraged me to explore whether life coaching was for me - never being pushy. She allowed me to go at my own pace and gave me the space to grow during the process.
Life coaching has truly changed my life (and I don’t mean that flippantly). It’s given me the clarity of mind and confidence to discover myself and to be myself whilst never feeling vulnerable or alone. Bev has been challenging when appropriate but also incredibly sensitive and aware when I needed an extra helping hand. Her patience and understanding has been outstanding. She really did create a safe, non-judgmental environment for such a delicate undertaking. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and the happiness you’ve enabled me to discover. I can now move forward without the “blinkers” on, and really feel like I can direct the path I take. Thank you ~ Veronica, Sydney
