Clinical Nurse Specialist in Bariatrics RcN PGDip HSc

2007 was a crucial turning point in Kate's life after completing her first Iron man competition. Crossing the finish line Kate felt truly alive. Sharing this with her patients became her next goal so becoming the Bariatric Nurse at Middlemore Hospital felt like the perfect fit. After spending 8 years with Counties Manukau DHB, through working with the patients and studying the stark reality of our current obesity epidemic, Kate realised that often people are overweight or regain weight due to some lack or gap in their own knowledge of health and wellness.

Kate's next step was to move from the hospital clinical and into her own space with Beyond Obesity.

Kate lives in Beachlands with her husband, two teenage sons, her dog and cat. Kate is an avid reader and enjoys long walks with her ipod and dog.

Kate's mission through her work is to bring happiness to others.
