What clients say:

"Kate was very professional and knowledgeable. At the same time she was caring, compassionate and made me feel as if I was her top priority. She gave me the time and energy I needed and the support to help me.

In late 2014 I was accepted for Bariatric Surgery for weight loss. I had already had a gastric band which had to be removed due to complications and had gained the weight back on. 

Meeting her made me feel I was worthy and that I had a future, a future worth living. She spoke of flourishing and treating the whole person. Looking into my past, present and future – not just numbers and measurements. She was wonderful to talk to and listened to everything I said. I felt uplifted and looked forward to coming back to the hospital. I was fully prepared for the operation and what was to follow.

She is a dynamic, caring and progressive thinker. A credit to the medical profession... I wish to let you know that she helped me turn a lot of things around. I wish her the best and her patients are fortunate to be under her care."

"Kate didn't just help my weight loss but helped me regain my confidence in myself and my strength. If it wasn't for Kate I would still be in a situation I didn't want to be. Kate helped me more than anyone throughout my journey with you, and I am pleased to say 5 years post op I am happily married and have a very healthy active 15 month old girl. Kate not only helped me lose weight and gain the tools to keep it off she gave me a new lease on life.

Thank you isn't enough I owe Kate my life!"

Hi Kate
I hope you had a lovely Easter break. I would like to cancel my appointment for Friday, I'm doing really well and think that I will make an appointment if and when the wheels fall off. I notice that I hardly ever have to write my daily journal anymore. I love being in control and feeling positive again. I weighed last Wednesday and things are falling into place. Thanks and I will be contact if I feel the need.  I know that I will not let things get so bad before making contact like last time. “

WORKSHOP FEEDBACK:
”I absolutely needed to hear everything that was said”
”It’s like Kate was inside my head”
”Incredibly valuable info and insight. Very reassuring that I am normal and that I can do this!”

“Hi Kate
I hope you are well. It’s been a few months since we last met so I just thought I’d update you on my progress and thank you for everything you showed, guided and taught me through my journey. I’m not sure I even know how to start expressing my appreciation for what you have done for me. The skills you taught me have changed my life mentally. For all my adult life I have struggled to accept me as a person and be grateful for being me. Yes I had surgery to help with health and yes appearance is a bonus but I learnt that it was only a result of what I needed to deal with mentally.  I believe 100% in your methods and as a result my life has flipped upside down. I have changed jobs, I now earn my worth and have now completed over 30 half marathons and 3 full marathons and later this year plan on completing my first 100km ultra.  I now see the same things differently (if that makes sense), like the glass is most times half full!!!!  I no longer fear being vulnerable nor do I spend as much time outside my own space. I feel blessed and grateful for all I have and have been through. 

So I have a lot to thank you for. “

”Particularly interesting due to patient we have had on ward for 7 months. Kate is so dedicated to the cause
Interesting content and good interaction”
”Kate's session on obesity, managing this and changing health professional biases against the large bodied was heartbreaking, mostly because i think there would be very few people who couldn't relate on a personal level, for themselves or their family”
