Hello. I'm Kristen, a qualified Health Coach specialising in weight loss surgery support. I am dedicated to guiding clients through every step of their journey—before, during, and after surgery. My approach is deeply personal, rooted in my own experience, and tailored to help you achieve lasting health and vitality.

I’ve written a book on living with Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG), available on Amazon, where I share insights and practical advice to help others navigate this transformative journey. 

​

My focus is on personalised nutrition, realistic goal setting, and creating sustainable lifestyle changes that go beyond weight loss to enhance overall well-being.

​

My journey with VSG surgery in 2017, during which I lost eight stones (nearly 50 kg), has given me a profound understanding of triumphs, challenges, and everything in between. I’ve learned that VSG is a powerful tool but not a quick fix. Addressing your relationship with food is crucial for long-term success, even with a smaller stomach. This understanding shapes my coaching, helping clients overcome obstacles and avoid common pitfalls.

​

Over the past few years, I’ve dedicated myself to studying and supporting clients to make their weight loss surgery a permanent lifestyle change, not just a temporary fix. I guide clients through the unique challenges of weight loss surgery, focusing on nourishing their bodies to regain health and confidence. My personalised coaching is designed to meet each individual's needs, empowering them to feel amazing inside and out.

​

My ultimate goal is to help you adopt a lifestyle that not only supports your health but also enriches your life. Together, we’ll work on realistic changes that positively impact you and your family, improving everyone’s relationship with food.

​

I’m here to guide you through every aspect of your VSG journey, providing support and understanding as you navigate the physical and emotional changes that come with it. Let’s find joy in eating well and living healthily so you can enjoy a vibrant, fulfilling life after VSG.
