One-on-One Motivation – Weight-Loss Nutritionist
Weight-loss delivers an incredible surge to your self-esteem, self-confidence and health. You feel in control of your life. I get you started on your weight-loss and lifestyle changes and I stay with you, every day and keep your motivation levels high. You get diet sheets, recipes, advice, empathy and my nutrition education.
How I differ from all other weight-loss nutritionists is the intensity. You get one-on-one motivation from a degree-qualified weight-loss nutritionist every day, at different times, especially your ‘challenging’ times of day, by phone, text, and zoom.
My approach is whole food and to give you the skills to make tasty recipes. No Fads.
Covid-19 forced me to move my practice online and I am stunned at how effective it is. I feel so close to my new clients and yet I have never met them.
I take on a small number of clients per month, all 1-on-1 working with me privately. I only take people who are seriously committed to getting the weight off and we chat by phone before agreeing to work together.
You can exercise for hours every day but if the food is not right, you will not lose weight. Focus on getting the food right first. I refer clients to exercise professionals once I know they have a handle on their food.

Why Me?
I have a nutrition degree with 14 years experience helping people lose weight but more importantly, I have been overweight. I understand the challenges, I’ve fought the battle.
Clients say that I get inside their head and press the right ‘ buttons’ for weight-loss. They tell me I know my stuff and never give up.
I love what I do.

TESTIMONIALS – Hear from some happy clients.
I have lost 21lbs with Joan. The best change I have made is to plan my week of meals because my work is so busy. I am a project manager and I have the skills but just did not prioritise myself over work. I feel happier and definitely healthier now and I am eating proper food, not rubbish. I was never hungry once the sugar cravings eased off.
I needed a healthier diet. I was getting more colds than usual and had a bad flu this year. I love sugary food and there is loads at work, close to my desk! What I’ve learnt is to eat 3 meals a day and I bring in my snacks to work and they help me ignore the office treats. I’m eating new foods and I am cooking more. I went down a notch in my belt.
I did an 8 week Health Programme via work and met Joan. I lost weight which was great and I learned alot from her, especially about the amount of carbohydrate I was eating. I’m trying to include some foods every week now to get the good fats and the APP really opened my eyes about food.
I wanted to get fitter, stronger and somehow, after years of failed attempts, curb my sugar addiction. I’d been trying to get started for a few years, but always felt too daunted and worried about failure. Then my GP recommended Joan and she was exactly what I needed to get started. Joan has an exceptional knowledge of nutrition and what we need to take in, and leave out, for us to be healthy and fit. She explains all of that really well and in an easy to understand way. But she also is a wonderful motivator, right down to accompanying you on walks and to the gym and showing you exactly how to cook her many recipes. My attitude to food and exercise has changed totally since meeting Joan. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
My life is busy and happy, I have 4 children and work but my weight was a source of unhappiness and I was unfit. I tried many diet programmes. I started working with Joan in May 2013 and lost a satisfactory amount of weight in that year. Dieting can be isolating but Joan’s clients do group walks and park activities together and I found the support from the group helpful and I became much fitter. I enjoy eating normal food and no dietary supplements. I regained a little of the weight around the children’s exam time but I kept in contact with Joan and am working it back off. She helped me to get used to the gym environment and I am now a full-time gym goer and love it. I feel fitter and use exercise to relieve life stressors. Best of all, I can maintain my weight loss. I still have some weight to lose but am so much happier in myself and feel more in control. Weight will always be my challenge but I am learning to manage it much better.
