‘Having tried every diet under the sun plus exercise plans – this has been the most life changing. I am thinking about what I eat and when in a way I have never been able to before.’

‘I have paid a lot of money for less helpful things in the past, but this was really tailored to my needs. I lost quite a bit of weight with the help of Beth and worked on lifelong skills, rather than simply going on a diet.’

‘I am a size 14 jeans compared to size 18 last year. I have continued with nutritious eating and exercise. I haven't reverted to eating a whole pizza to myself or buying the chocolate I had every evening before the programme. In fact, I have not bought a big pizza at all since the programme. I listen to my body rather than my emotional state when I eat now. Before I was mindlessly eating lots of sugar and fat to reward myself, but I now realise it is no reward at all. The reward is in being able to move about more freely.’

‘Beth’s knowledge and capacity to create a safe and inclusive environment each session was flawless. I can’t thank her enough for being so welcoming, friendly and understanding of the hard journey that we face. Every week I felt motivated to attend and learn new things or experience that my struggles are shared by many people like me, wanting to shred some weight for life.’

‘By the end of the programme, I lost just under 7kg. That has now reached 26kg a year later and a BMI in the normal range for my height! In the green at last. I’ve always avoided mirrors and changing rooms of any sort. I have hung up a mirror in my bedroom (shock horror!) and now that my clothes have gone down from a size 22 to a size 12, I wear skinny jeans, just because I can! The improvement in my weight led me to make other changes – I plucked up courage to get dental work done, I’ve asked people to meet for a coffee and I’ve joined a group of women singers. More importantly, my mental well-being is so much better, and I couldn’t have done it without Beth’s support and encouragement. She’s a star!’

‘I have learned a lot about myself and why I eat, which has opened many doors for me to explore my own thinking and eating patterns. Beth was a great support. There was no judgement, just encouragement.’

‘I appreciate Beth's incredible supportiveness and learning to be kinder to myself, feeling I'm not a total failure and my weight can be reduced.’

‘Genuinely worthwhile. Not a quick fix diet, but fab lifestyle changes. I don't eat a whole packet of things anymore, my general meal sizes are smaller, I make conscious decisions around food, sleep and drink. It's given me the motivation to know I can do the same with exercise. Thank you Beth, I know I'm on the right track to continuing a healthier lifestyle.’

‘I am following the advice given and still learning to adopt a more healthy approach towards food and eating, and my weight loss is only continuing.’

‘I can definitely see, hear and feel the difference in me. There are habits and thought processes that have changed. What I found with Beth was that it started in a very different way. She really listened. She commiserated with me, she celebrated with me. I felt listened to and heard. I can now identify when I am starting to get hungry and thirsty. And I know this sounds so stupid and little - like how can I have got to 52 and not be able to identify such a normal thing! But this programme gave me the space, time and unpressured focus to enable me to do this. Losing weight has never motivated me, but the ability to start to separating my emotions from my eating habits certainly has.’

‘It was great to have that consistent support from someone so positive and invested in her clients.’

‘It has made me aware that to make long term changes, I need to be compassionate and caring to myself (often in small ways). That I can reset and that I cannot avoid stress that leads to anxiety that is so toxic - it is about finding ways to manage it. That's hard especially after 50 years of being so hard on myself - so it is a real mind shift.... but slow and steady change is possible.’

‘This was amazing! I didn’t think I would learn anything new but I did! Looking forward to sustainable weight loss.’

‘Beth is amazing! Thank you so much for all of your support. It has been invaluable! You helped me realise that I need to look after me too.’

‘I've discovered small changes make a big difference over time – I'm motivated to continue and not be put off by setbacks.’

‘I have taken away a great deal from our sessions - opening up, identifying and accepting my triggers and how to manage rather and avoid has been really insightful. Also, realising that I need to be more compassionate and taking small, steady and consistent steps are the key to make change. And that one slip does not take you back to zero. Thank you so much for listening and helping me see the roots of my issues and giving me a range of strategies to use. Now, time to keep going and build the habits that become normal.’
