DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

1) Your feeling stuck in a negative cycle of binge-eating and restricting, emotional eating, or yoyo-dieting.

2) You feel like you have an “all or nothing” mentality with food and exercise. You find it hard to eat indulgent foods you love in moderation.

3) Food is constantly on your mind. You struggling to relax and be present at social eating occasions, because your always worried about what your eating. .

4) Your confused about what you should be eating due to all the conflicting nutrition advice on social media. You want someone qualified to simplify it for you, and clear your confusion.

5) You’re struggling with your weight, body image, and self-confidence. Your always feeling like you either need to lose weight, or worry about putting on weight.

6) You’re ready to give up the dieting, calorie counting, “food rules”, but you also care about having a healthy fit body and want help finding that middle ground.

If you are saying yes to the things, you’ve come to the right place

MY APPROACH:

Many women come to work with me because they want to be happy. But their happiness is tied up in how they think and feel about food and their body. They are currently not experiencing life as they want to. They don’t feel like their healthiest self mentally and/or physically. And they are sick of feeling like food and body thoughts are constantly on their mind.

Being able to choose foods without over-thinking it, feeling good in your body, and making nourishment a priority. This is what I want for you long term.

The problem is that most women don’t have clarity on what they should be eating or someone to help them understand WHY they make the food choices they do.

You need a clear place to start, and someone to support you through the challenges along the way. This is what I offer through my 1:1 Food Freedom Coaching.

As your Nutritionist and as your coach I am here to be your guide. To listen to you, to offer non-biased, evidence-based information, allow for the exchange of ideas and take time getting to know what works for you.

TO ME, FOOD FREEDOM MEANS….

Having balance. Ditching the “all or nothing” mentality, and removing the pressure of perfectionism.

Eating from a place of self-care, rather that self-restriction or self-sabotage.

Exercising and moving your body because you want to, not because you think you have to.

Nourishing and fueling your body with wholefoods, including all food groups, and ticking all the nutrient boxes your body needs to thrive.

Ditching the calorie apps, food scales, strict meal plans and trusting your hunger and fullness cues.

Having the mental space for your hobbies, your relationships and your career goals.

It means not having to think twice about saying yes to social eating occasions

It means enjoying indulgences in moderation and trusting your body can handle it,

It’s about ditching scales and body fat calipers, feeling healthy and strong in your body, and knowing your worth isn’t determined by how you look.

MY METHOD

After working for 9 years as a nutritionist, listening and learning to countess women, I’ve learned there is no one size fits all when it comes to breaking free from unhelpful eating patterns, and forming a healthy relationship with food and your body. That there are multiple pieces to the puzzle, and everyone’s puzzle is different. It’s not just about nutrition, it’s not just about psychology, and it’s not just about “eating intuitively” or “body positivity”. We need to take a holistic approach, and look at ALL the pieces and how they interlink.

This is what drove me to create a 5 Pillar Food Freedom Coaching Approach

Client success stories

Kim is just incredible. I loved working with her for the three months we were together - Tori Gillies

“I began seeing Kim when I was in an extremely confused place when it came to food and fueling. I am a developing elite triathlete and throughout my athletic career, I had seen several dietitians, due to the lack of energy availability and menstrual function. However, these dietitians came with extreme measures;

One dietitian had told me to eat everything and anything. I began to force feed myself and began hating how I looked and felt. Recognising that this was unhealthy for me, I began to see another one who had told me to just eat plain foods and not much of it. This then began my journey of binge-restrict cycle.

Kim is just incredible. I loved working with her for the three months we were together. Unlike the others she actually listened to what I had to say. She completely helped me overcome this cycle I was stuck in. She helped me understand my body and what it needs. She offered a unique perspective, tools individual to me and a simplistic yet purposeful approach – that I could maintain in the months when after she was gone. She honestly saved me and has helped my develop not only as an athlete but as an individual as well. She is just amazing, if you have the opportunity to work with her… it is very much life-changing and worthwhile”.

"I was stuck in a restrict binge cycle that I felt I couldn't get out of"

At the start of my journey with Kim I had such an unhealthy mindset with food and my body image. I was stuck in a restrict binge cycle that I felt I couldn’t get out of. I was obsessed with weighing my foods, checking my body weight to make sure I hadn’t gained weight, calorie counting, macros in foods, and always checking food labels.

Kim was super understanding and made me feel comfortable to talk about any struggles I was having openly. She knew the exact strategies to help me through my issues, and we discussed tools for me to use everyday, such as challenging the “guilt voice”. Kim also helped me adjust my mindset on “unhealthy” foods to perceive foods as fuel that my body needs to function on a day to day basis.

Kim’s approach to tackle these problems was outstanding and motivating as she also made sure to celebrate my small wins each session. I now feel like I can eat freely without the guilt and beating myself up for eating food I once deemed as “unhealthy” and enjoy food with friends or family without stressing about the food.

I would strongly recommend Kim to anyone who feels they are struggling with the same, or similar issues to what I have mentioned!

"I genuinely thought the binge and restrict cycle was unbreakable but working with Kim proved me very wrong!"

“I would highly recommend Kim to anyone who has struggled with yo-yo dieting, binge eating, the ‘all or nothing’ approach to eating or with any other kind of restricted eating mentality. I had struggled with all of the above for my whole life from a young age, and was so over feeling down about my body and relationship with food.

Since seeing Kim, I have learnt (and continue to learn) about gaining food freedom, listening to my body and the way food makes me feel and self-care toward my body. Kim’s approach is kind and gentle, and her tools are more about retraining the way you think about eating and food and giving you back control in a healthy and sustainable way.

I’ve really been able to in-gain her methods. I no longer punish myself for what I’ve eaten, or not eaten. I dont have the nagging thoughts about ‘good’ or ‘bad’ foods, restrictive eating and then binging, and beating myself up over and over again.

If you are struggling with any of the above, and want to use a non-diet approach towards caring for yourself and your nutrition, I would highly recommend Kim.“

“I was initially quite nervous to open up about my habits and thoughts around food but I loved that I have never felt judged or alone”

I reached out to Kimberley as I was really struggling with binge and emotional eating, due to years of food tracking and obsessing over calories. Kimberley made me feel very supported and safe, I was initially quite nervous to open up about my habits and thoughts around food but I loved that I have never felt judged or alone. I have been able to learn so much more about healthy habits and nutrition and now have a range of practical tools than tools that I am able use everyday to help live a much healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.

I would recommend Food Freedom Coaching to anyone who is struggling with body image, eating habits and wants to break free of restrictive habits.

"I am now relaxed around food. I haven’t touched a food tracking app for months!"

“When I first reached out to Kim, I was in a really bad cycle of binge eating, hating my body and blaming myself for eating foods that weren’t deemed “healthy”. This lead to feelings of disappointment and sadness within myself. This sadness reflected on my personal relationships and the people around me, I felt I was losing out on precious memories with the people I love. This is when I felt I needed real help, and at this point I found Kim!

Kim guided me to find the reasons behind these feelings surrounding food and taught me effective strategies to manage these. Kim helped me dive deep into my own feelings and experiences where I was able to critically reflect on myself and my actions with empathy and respect.

I am now relaxed around food, “I haven’t touched a food tracking app for months, and never think about this anymore”

My life since seeing Kim has changed so much for the better. Mostly I want to acknowledge Kim for her undivided attention and empathy during our sessions,

Thank you so much Kim! “

“I felt like I was out of control with gaining weight, overwhelmed with food, bingeing regularly and then berating myself for it”

Working with Kim was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and well-being. In 2020, I felt like I was out of control with gaining weight, overwhelmed with food, bingeing regularly and then berating myself for it. I’d been eating a carb restricted diet for a couple of years and when I didn’t want to do that anymore I realised I didn’t know how to eat a healthy balanced meal. During our time together Kim created a personalised nutrition guide, but she also gave me so much more. We unpacked why I was bingeing in the first place, how I can stop doing that, the habits I’d created, and importantly how I viewed myself and my body. What Kim offers is so much more than just talking nutrition and macros. With her guidance and tools, I’ve moved on from trying to be the smallest version of myself and am 100% more mindful of my body and what it needs from both a nutrition and self care perspective. I’m forever grateful not to be emotionally tied to the number on the scales anymore. For anyone who wishes to change their relationship with food and their mindset about their body, I can’t recommend Kim enough. You won’t regret it!

Lani, Binge-Restrict Cycle, Food Freedom Graduate!

“ I am on my way back to my healthiest size with no restriction”

After years of restriction followed by bingeing in that true yo-yo cycle, I had a turning point in 2020 and realised I couldn’t continue this pattern.

Kim helped me to structure my meals, filling them with nourishing foods and food I actually enjoyed eating not just because they were lower in calories as I had previously eaten.

Eating is now for self-care following Kim’s principles and over the course of 12 weeks, I have learnt to listen to my body in order to fuel it adequately, particularly after early morning training sessions. I can now also enjoy a piece of birthday cake without the feelings of guilt associated with it.

While developing a normal relationship with food I have been able to spend my “brain space” on more important things in my life rather than food.

With all of these new found tools and thought processes in hand, I am on my way back to my healthiest size with no restriction.

If you are reading this, I have no hesitation in recommending Kim to anyone who might need some support to develop a positive relationship with food and their bodies!
