What readers and clients say…

Mandi Lynn“Karen challenged me and engaged me in a way that progressed me across all aspects of my life.  For years I had an underlying fear and shame that influenced everything, including my sense of self and my perception of what I deserved.  This had been a weight to me for so long that I didn’t even realise it was detrimental to my life.

Karen helped me take responsibility for “liking” myself first. Her support around my goals particularly weight loss was about what I was putting in my head not my mouth and the change in this helped me to achieve an 84kg weight loss.  I am not only a new person I am less than half of what I was before.  A colleague commented even though you are less in size you seem more in yourself than I have ever seen you.

Karen won’t do it for you – why would she?  She gave me the confidence to know I didn’t need her, I could do it myself – this was empowering and life changing – I’m not a gushy person but life changing is what it was.  I approach life now without fear and the have confidence to live  in a mindful way that has made my life an exciting and authentic adventure.”

“This book is one of the best books on weight loss ever written. I have been teaching Nutrition for Weight Loss programmes at the gym for four years now and use Karen’s book as a basis for them. My clients love the chapters on identifying relationships and changing behaviours and say this ‘head stuff’  is what makes this programme so different and so successful from others. Thanks Karen for helping my clients achieve their weight loss goals.”

“Love the book. I think she has nailed it – and I hope her message can get out there to the thousands of women who struggle with these issues and beat themselves up about how they look on a daily basis.  The diet industry combined with the pressure to conform to perfection is a cruel business and the world will be a better place when women can tackle these things in a healthy, happy way that boosts self-esteem instead of eroding it.”

“I’m reading your book and think it’s the best thing I’ve ever read.”

“I’ve just finished hoovering up the pages of your book….I loved every second of it…the humour and the simplicity. My brain feels less cluttered and I feel sooo much lighter. I know there will always be cake and horrible lighting in retail changing rooms….but that doesn’t seem like such a big deal any more.”
 – Jenny, 37

“I’m not a reader but I read (your book) in 3 days. OMG! It was a revelation. I saw myself so many times, the exercises have already uncovered stuff that I am going to work on letting go – and get on and enjoy my life. I feel fabulous!!”
 – Tanya, 42
