I want to re-introduce myself, especially if you’re new here.
For more than 30 years, I struggled with my weight. I know what it feels like to think about it constantly, to feel uncomfortable in your body and to hesitate before asking for help because it all feels overwhelming… not to mention judgment and weight stigma are real! I tried all the diets and all the things… it was hard.
Ten years ago, something finally changed. It wasn’t a quick fix and I worked hard to build a lifestyle that I could live forever and I haven’t looked back.
Life looks very different now. I can dress how I like. I can cross my legs. I can paint my toenails without effort. I can take the stairs. I can sit anywhere. I walk into a room without wondering who is looking at me. I enjoy clothes shopping. I wear belts. I tuck my shirt in. All the little things I used to dream about are now just part of my everyday life.
After years of chasing “skinny,” I learned something important. Health is about so much more than numbers. It’s about freedom, confidence, and feeling at home in your body.
I’ve maintained a significant weight loss for nearly a decade, and my own journey is what led me to study and become an Accredited Practising Weight Management Practitioner. I opened my practice because I wanted to support people who felt the same way I once did.
When you work with me, you’re working with someone who truly understands how hard this can feel. I use evidence-based strategies, real-world tools, and a realistic, sustainable approach to help you reach your goals in a way that actually fits your life.
If you’ve been thinking about reaching out but feel unsure, I see you, and I’m here when you’re ready.
