THE ICE CREAM NINJA
I’m Douglas — a rehab professional and nutrition coach.
I help real people across the UK and Ireland feel stronger, move better, and build healthier habits that actually fit their lives.
I spent years as a professional sportsman, but most of my work is now with everyday people — busy parents, beginners, professionals, people rebuilding after injury, and anyone who wants a more sustainable approach to health.
For over 20 years I have worked in rehabilitation, and for over 15 years I’ve been learning everything I can about nutrition.
My goal is simple: to make health feel doable, flexible and human.

TESTIMONIALS
“
Brilliant attitude!
Attended a workshop recently with Douglas. He is very knowledgeable, but very down to earth. His talk was informative and applicable; in-depth enough for the cynics in the group, but engaging throughout for the nutrition novices.

I’ve been working with Douglas now for a couple of months and so far it’s been an absolute pleasure. I came to him requiring help in nutrition for competitive cycling. He has made sure I am getting the correct fuel in to help me perform at my best day in day out and to make sure my body has what it needs to recover.
He has educated me on many things so far and is always on hand for advice even out with nutrition.
In such a short time working together we have made massive gains in performance so I am really excited to see what else we can do! Thanks for all your help.

Have just completed my first month on the plan that Douglas devised for me. Whilst I haven’t stuck to it 100% for the first time in 20 years of “dieting” I am no longer dieting but following a healthier diet making lifestyle choices to suit the whole family. Douglas never makes me feel guilty if I’ve had a “bad week” and his regular messages
Boost my confidence and confirm that he is keeping an eye on my progress which makes me more determined this time to stick with it. Highly recommended and look forward to month 2. Thank you.

I have lost weight previously but never really understood how or why. Working with Douglas has been educational and inspirational he has taught me how to look at food in a completely different fashion and I now have the tools to have a healthy productive relationship with my food. I could not recommend the Ice Cream Ninja more highly, in my first month I lost a stone in weight and several inches from all areas of my body. What’s more impressive is that I did not really change my lifestyle to achieve these goals I still had weekends where I partied and maintained my weight loss. I am confident that thanks to Douglas I have the tools to move on and achieve further fitness, nutritional and weight loss goals and I will definitely be working with him again as his advice and approach is motivational and he is constantly available to assist and help you. Thank you Douglas for everything that you have done so far

Would 100% recommend The Ice Cream Ninja. I’ve yo-yoed in the past and done every slimming club; syns, points & checks, as well as shakes, pills & cabbage soup!!! Douglas has completely turned around my mindset towards food – breaking the unhealthy relationship I had with it. Small steps lead to big changes. I’ve lost 2 stones and I’m delighted. Thank you Douglas for all your support.

The thing about being part of one of Douglas’s groups, is that it is enjoyable at the same time as being beneficial both physically and mentally. His great knowledge of all things nutrition and fitness ensures that you are in the best hands with guidance and enthusiasm way beyond the usual. I felt that Douglas really understood my needs and therefore was able to provide me with advice tailor made for me. Highly recommend!
