My unique weight loss programme focuses on optimising your diet and lifestyle without going
hungry or calorie counting. You can collect EatBetter points along the way! I also focus on
improving your gut health. Your gut bacteria play a large role in many functions in the body, such as
your immune system and the synthesis of proteins & vitamins. Research also suggests that the type
of bacteria in your gut may influence your weight. The type of bacteria is influenced by the food
and drink you consume.

Testimonials
"Hello my name is Cathy and I am 56 years old and have been struggling to lose some weight since I turned 50. I noticed after being very slim through my whole life, from around 50, I seemed to be slowly gaining weight. At first I thought, ok it is a different chapter in my life and need to do more exercise. After realising, this was not working I tried, slimming drinks, tablets and fasting. Without success. This is when I realised I needed help. And this is when I contacted Holly. We met, Holly explained in detail about how she works and discussed many things, including exactly what I wanted, health issues and then obviously strategy. I started my weight loss journey with Holly at end of December 2023. Within 8 weeks I managed to lose almost 3 kgs. Which was my goal. I started just under 54 kg and am now 51kg. I have maintained my weight until today. Holly has supported me all the way, always, motivating, suggesting and correcting my weekly reports. Holly has taught me to look at eating in a completely new way, not just to lose weight, but to eat healthy. I am so grateful and would encourage you, if you are struggling as I was, to contact Holly so she can accompany you on your weight loss journey to find your healthy body again."
