Behind The Cooper Method

I’m Yasemin Cooper, founder of The Cooper Method, mum of three, certified Pilates instructor, Nutritionist, Sports Nutrition Coach and Health and Wellbeing Coach.

The Cooper Method Goal

To help women 35+ transform their lives the way I transformed mine, and step into their prime years feeling strong, healthy, confident and excited about what’s ahead.

The Three Pillars

Movement, nutrition and mindset became the three pillars that transformed my own life. They helped me feel stronger physically, more grounded mentally and more confident in myself, and that changed far more than what I saw in the mirror. It changed the way I looked at getting older.

Movement

Feeling strong, capable and comfortable in your body supports physical health, energy and confidence, while creating space to move in a way that feels good and sustainable.

Nutrition

Nourishing your body with the food it needs can help you feel energised, supported and well. A balanced approach can build better habits and a healthier relationship with what you eat.

Mindset

Supporting your mental and emotional wellbeing alongside your physical health is an important part of feeling well. Creating time for yourself, positive habits and balance can have a lasting impact on how you feel each day.

A fresh approach to midlife

Health and movement have been part of my life for more than 25 years, but The Cooper Method was born from something much more personal, my own experience of moving through my 40s and realising that feeling your best is about so much more than how your body looks.

For me, the biggest shift came when I stopped focusing on one piece of the puzzle and started looking at the whole picture, how I moved, how I nourished myself and how I looked after my mind.

I don’t believe women should reach their 40s and 50s and start dreading what comes next. I want women to feel excited about their future and empowered to enjoy what can be some of the strongest, healthiest and most fulfilling years of their lives.

The Cooper Method brings together my professional education with my own lived experience as a woman and mother navigating midlife myself.

I wanted to bring the three things that made such a difference to my own life, Movement, Nutrition and Mindset, together in one place and make them realistic for women with full lives.

So much of my own strength, confidence and consistency has been built through at-home workouts, simple daily habits and learning how to nourish my body in a way that feels realistic and sustainable. That is what I wanted to create for other women, a method that brings together Pilates Sculpt and Strength Training movement, nutritionist-created guidance, mindset tools and simple daily habits to help you feel stronger, healthier, more energised and more connected to yourself, all from the comfort of your home.

Women I’ve coached

What my one-on-one nutrition clients say.

I never felt restricted

What sets Yasemin apart is the support and encouragement she provides every step of the way. I never felt restricted, overwhelmed or like I was following another “diet”—instead, she helped me build healthy habits that fit seamlessly into my everyday life. Thanks to Yasemin and The Cooper Method, I feel stronger, healthier and more confident than I have in years. The results have been amazing, but even more valuable are the long-term habits and mindset I’ve gained. I genuinely can’t recommend Yasemin and The Cooper Method highly enough. If you’re looking for a program that delivers real, lasting results with incredible support, this is it.

Completely reframed how I think about food

Yasemin’s meal plan completely reframed how I think about food. It taught me how to build meals properly, plan ahead, and be much more mindful of what I’m eating. The results have honestly been incredible. Over the past couple of months I’ve lost 9 kilos, and for the first time in years the weight feels manageable and sustainable. But the biggest change has been my mindset. I now understand how to structure meals, prioritise protein, and make better decisions day-to-day without feeling restricted. I’m incredibly grateful for the guidance and would recommend Yasemin to anyone wanting a practical, sustainable approach to nutrition that actually works in real life.

Confidence, energy and healthier habits

Over the past 12 weeks, I have been on an incredible weight loss journey that has been transforming not only my body but also the way I think about health and wellbeing. When I started this program with Yasemin I was looking for a healthier lifestyle, I have learned the importance of being consistent and making healthier food choices and staying committed even on challenging days. The support, encouragement and guidance I have received from Yasemin has made all the difference and is helping me to stay focused on my health and weight loss journey. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made in gaining confidence, energy and healthier habits. The results are worth the commitment and discipline that go beyond the scales and positive changes.

Like advice from a big sister

I’ve been working with Yas for almost two months now, and she has completely changed the way I think about nutrition and making healthier choices. She has helped me build a better understanding of food while keeping me accountable through our weekly check-ins and giving me practical ways to improve each week. I’ve learnt so much in such a short time. Yas is incredibly supportive and encouraging, it honestly feels like you’re getting advice from a big sister who genuinely wants the best for you. Her positivity, knowledge, and belief in me have made such a difference. I can’t wait to keep smashing my goals with Yas by my side.
