Hey, I’m Kirsty! For much of my own life, I had a terrible relationship with food.

I now help others to break free from emotional eating as a UK trained Emotional Eating & Binge Eating Disorder Specialist.

I understand how food can impact so many parts of your life! After developing disordered eating as a teenager, I found myself stuck in a cycle of restrictive dieting and binge eating. I felt like I had absolutely no control around food. For years I was either obsessively dieting and hungry or I was binging in secret and feeling guilty. I hated how I felt and looked as a result, but more so I felt so much shame. I even worked as a personal trainer during this time and felt I had to hide the poor relationship I had with food which I perceived as a ‘lack of self-control’.

Fast forward, I’m now a certified Co-Active Life Coach, Master NLP Practitioner, Emotional Eating & Binge Eating Disorder Specialist. Eating Freely™ is an evidence-based program that combines coaching support, nutritional therapy, neuroscience techniques and mindfulness to help you break free from emotional eating and move forward with your life.

    Jason, Business Owner

  • “Even though I had already started the work on myself and growing my self-awareness and perception of my world, Kirsty really coached me through what I had been missing and guided me through acceptance of difficult circumstances – it was exactly what I needed. Kirsty made me realise what my values were in life, what was important to me, why I was triggered and how I can overcome them. The advice Kirsty has given me, has made me see my life through new eyes, and those that know me have seen such a positive change in my outlook. I cannot thank Kirsty enough, she’s attentive, caring, patient and wise – I’ll always be eternally grateful.”

    Nicola, Marketing Specialist

  • “When I first contacted Kirsty I was fed up of the same cycle of stress, irritability and tiredness that ruled my life. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect but I knew I needed some sort of help. I was nervous at first but shortly after we met I was put at ease by her kind, calm and positive approach. Kirsty is a great listener, very personable, reliable, patient and encouraging. I enjoyed working with her and found techniques that she used very helpful, I felt more balanced and empowered after each session. Thank you so much Kirsty”

    Maria S.

  • “I had been interested in starting with coaching sessions for a while so I was very happy to have met Kirsty and have such a positive experience. Not only she has a great attitude and positive take on life, she gave me practical tools throughout our sessions that truly helped me make the progress I needed in my personal & professional life. I can´t recommend Kirsty highly enough!”

    Claudia, Architect

  • Before joining the program I was quite mindless when it came to food. I had made several attempts to lose weight. I joined an institution that focuses on weight loss, took up a personal trainer and nutrition plan. They were all useful or effective in some way. Kirsty has helped me open up my mind towards food, nutrition and the relationship in between food and my emotional state of being. I don’t oscillate in between hunger and being super stuffed anymore which also means I don't suffer from great depression or extreme joy very frequently. I’m more even-keel these days.

  • “I always really struggled to eat well and lose weight. I didn't realize the things I was doing were the problem. I had a pattern of binge and restrict, but because I wasn't obese or extremely skinny I thought those were the right things to do. I tried all kinds of diets, but everything worked for very short periods of time, followed by really missing food and breaking the diet. This program is different from everything I had tried before. Realizing that I don't have to go on strict diets was liberating. Now I feel I am a lot more compassionate with myself and I don't resort to food for comfort but as a way to nourish my body. I am very happy I had taken the program and I think Kirsty is a great coach! I think all the content is very valuable.”

“The most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. And then after that, it may be hard work, but you can actually design your life.”
