"I'd tried everything, and when nothing worked, it was frustrating and exhausting"
"For eight years I thought I was the problem. I'd tried everything, and when nothing worked, it was frustrating and exhausting. I thought the excess weight and other symptoms were just what happened now at my age.
Following the personalised programme Marie created for me, the weight started to come off, several kg already. I now know exactly what my body needs and why.
I wish I'd found Marie eight years ago. What Marie helped me understand changed everything. It wasn't weakness or lack of willpower on my part; it was my hormones. No-one had ever explained that to me before. Not even my GP or any of the diets and programmes I'd tried."

"I'd been frustrated with my weight and how I looked for a long time"
"I'm so pleased that I met Marie and took the leap to explore Intermittent Fasting with her. I'd been frustrated with my weight and how I looked for a long time - being stuck at the same weight - and nothing made a difference.
I signed up for the 30-day programme and then for the follow-up. This is one of the best things I've done for my health.
Marie is fantastic. She provides support, information, education, recipes and general ideas, so you always feel that she's on your side.
I learned about fasting windows, what to eat to break a fast, and what to cut down on. It's been a change in lifestyle and a healthier approach to food that has stuck.
Now, after about 8 months, I've reached my target weight, (which was a stretch target too). I get compliments on looking 'trim' and looking well, and generally feel good, and look good too.
I've recommended Marie to quite a few of my friends, because I know her teachings work very well. Thank you!."

"Her approach to improving weight and overall health is thoughtful, personalised, and can make a real difference in both the short and long term"
"I worked with Marie to gain insight into intermittent fasting to manage hormonal shifts throughout the month.
Marie was incredibly insightful, clearly explaining how our bodies are influenced during different phases, and how adjusting things like carbohydrate and protein intake can support and maximise energy levels. What stood out was her ability to make it simple, practical, and easy to apply.
She was also very supportive, answering my many questions. As someone who knows and understands my body well, I quickly noticed the shifts, both positive and less favourable. Marie helped me navigate these with clarity and confidence.
I would highly recommend speaking with Marie. Her approach to improving weight and overall health is thoughtful, personalised, and can make a real difference in both the short and long term."

"If you are a woman over 50, who is seeking a mentor to navigate the world before, during or after menopause - I highly recommend that you meet with Marie"
"I recently had the pleasure of being mentored by Marie regarding managing menopause and weight loss after 50.
Marie immediately put me at ease with her relaxed and warm manner. She was extremely informative and she gave me lots of ideas and suggestions throughout our meeting. I felt that Marie really understood what I was talking about, as she has experienced many of the topics that we discussed. Her kindness and desire to share possible solutions, made it feel as though I was talking to a friend... which in turn made me feel comfortable enough to be open and vulnerable with her.
Marie provides a safe, non-judgemental space for you to share your story, so if you are a woman over 50, who is seeking a mentor to navigate the world before, during or after menopause - I highly recommend that you meet with Marie :)"

"Marie helps you build sustainable habits that fit your lives"
"I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Marie’s work up close, and what truly sets her apart as an intermittent fasting coach is the combination of deep knowledge and genuine care she brings to every client she supports.
Marie doesn’t just teach a method—she understands the journey. Having experienced it herself, she brings empathy, realism, and encouragement that make a real difference, especially for women navigating weight loss and long-term maintenance. She meets people where they are, without judgment, and helps them build sustainable habits that fit their lives.
Her approach is both informed and practical, and she has a natural ability to simplify what can often feel overwhelming. Clients feel supported, motivated, and confident in their progress—something that’s not easy to achieve in this space.
If you’re looking for someone who truly walks the walk and is committed to helping women create lasting change, Marie is an exceptional coach to have by your side."
