HELLO, I’M KIM…
I’m a qualified nutritionist who specialises in weight loss. Since graduating in 2008 I’ve worked with hundreds of clients to help them lose weight (from a few pounds to over half their body weight), achieve their happy weight and maintain it long term.
I’m passionate about supporting people on their journey to optimal health and a peaceful relationship with their body. I know how it feels to struggle with your weight. To try different diets, never fully convinced they’re right for you. Unable to maintain a weight you’re happy at for more than a few months. I know what it’s like to have friends who are naturally slim – despite having terrible diets! And I know the challenge of feeling like you have to decide between eating food you should be eating, or food you actually enjoy. I know because I have been there myself.
I love food and it took me a long time (and a lot of work) to find my own healthy balance between maintaining a weight I’m happy, enjoying my food, and escaping the all or nothing trap.
My Story
I developed an interest in nutrition in my late teens, noticing that my weight had started to increase. As a vegetarian I thought I was healthy, but in reality, my starchy carb based diet was not only making me gradually gain weight, it also left me low in energy and constantly craving sweet foods. The more magazine articles and books I read, the more I became confused about what a healthy diet actually was.
When I was 20 I moved to London and I was fortunate enough to get a job managing a small weight loss clinic. I loved working with the clients, supporting them on their weight loss programmes and seeing their health and happiness improve. After a few short months the owner of the clinic decided to close the business. I was sad to lose my job but it made me realise that this was exactly what I wanted to do for my career…
MY STUDIES AND EXPERIENCE
After doing work experience with an NHS dietician and meeting with a nutritionist to figure out the difference between the two, I decided the NHS dietician route wasn’t for me. I opted to train as an independent nutritionist.
In 2005 I enrolled onto a three years degree course at London’s renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition and immersed myself in studying all aspects of human health and disease in relation to food and nutrition. I graduated in 2008, but becoming qualified was just the start of my learning.
Two decades on I am still grateful for the opportunity I had to work at the weight loss clinic. It’s led to a career I love. There is nothing more fulfilling for me than witnessing the incredible transformations of our clients. From gaining confidence and making peace with their bodies, to seeing considerable improvements in health conditions and energy levels. The benefit of committing to prioritising your health, wellbeing and weight management are endless.
