Background:
Sarah, 42, a busy working mum, came to me seeking help with weight loss. She had struggled with her weight for over a decade, trying various diets with little success. Her biggest challenge was finding a sustainable plan that didn’t feel restrictive or overwhelming, especially with her hectic schedule.

​

Challenges:

• Yo-yo dieting had left her frustrated and confused about what truly worked.

• She felt guilty about eating certain foods and struggled with emotional eating.

Coaching Approach:
During our initial consultation, I focused on understanding her current relationship with food and set realistic goals that didn’t feel like a “diet.” We worked on:

• Developing a balanced eating plan with nutrient-dense foods that she enjoyed.

• Incorporating more mindful eating practices to overcome emotional eating.

• Setting small, achievable goals that fit into her busy lifestyle, including gentle movement like walking.

Success:
After three months, Sarah lost 15 pounds and, more importantly, felt in control of her eating for the first time in years. She now enjoys her meals without guilt and has made exercise a consistent part of her routine.

Sarah’s Review:
“Kristen’s coaching has completely transformed how I view food and weight loss. She helped me take small, manageable steps that worked with my life, not against it. I’ve not only lost weight but gained a sense of confidence I haven’t felt in years.”
