I was aiming to get better with my physical health as a whole and try to make healthy choices for the better. I was sick of being overlooked by medical professionals as just another fat person and wanted to pair good health care from a GP with a food health specialist to create an entire wellness picture.

Having several medical conditions finally diagnosed and managed, my path led me to you. I wanted someone to help me rebuild my wagon and get my health rolling.

I wanted building blocks and support and something I could make a life of instead of a diet.

You have HELPED ME BEYOND WORDS to achieve my goals!

You never treated me like others do when fat people ask for assistance, even though it’s not strictly your focus. You took in my entire picture: my mental, physical, medical, social and work life.

I no longer measure myself in the mirror that the world provides for fat people. I measure it in the balance of all corners of my health.

I always saw coaches from past experience as a list of things to eat, and that's it. You have taken it, personalised it and made me a journey that worked for me. You changed my life, which sounds corny, but I couldn't think of a better way to say it. You changed me.

You changed my mind.

You changed my weight.

You changed my hope and expectations for my future.
