HELLO, I’M KIM…

I’m a qualified nutritionist who specialises in weight loss. Since graduating in 2008 I’ve worked with hundreds of clients to help them lose weight (from a few pounds to over seven stone), achieve their happy weight and maintain it long term.

 

I’m passionate about supporting people on their journey to optimal health and a peaceful relationship with their body. I know how it feels to struggle with your weight. To try different diets and types of exercise, never really sure whether they will work. Or if it’s even possible to achieve a body you are happy in. I know what it’s like to have friends who are naturally slim – despite having terrible diets! And I know the challenge of feeling like you have to decide between eating food you should be eating, or food you actually enjoy. I know because I have been there myself.

 

I love food and it took me a long time (and a lot of work) to find my own healthy balance between maintaining a weight I’m happy, enjoying my food, and escaping the all or nothing trap.

My Story

I developed an interest in nutrition in my late teens, noticing that my weight had started to increase. As a vegetarian I thought I was healthy, but in reality, my diet of pasta, pasta and more pasta was not only making me gradually gain weight. It also left me low in energy and constantly craving sweet foods. The more magazine articles and books I read, the more I became confused about what a healthy diet actually was.

 

When I was 20 I moved to London and I was fortunate enough to get a job managing a small weight loss clinic. I loved working with the clients, supporting them on their weight loss programmes and seeing their health and happiness improve. After a few short months the owner of the clinic decided to close the business. I was sad to lose my job but it made me realise that this was exactly what I wanted to do for my career… 

MY STUDIES AND EXPERIENCE

After doing work experience with an NHS dietician and meeting with a nutritionist to figure out the difference between the two, I decided the NHS dietician route wasn’t for me. I opted to train as an independent nutritionist. 


In 2005 I enrolled onto a three years degree course at London’s renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition and immersed myself in studying all aspects of human health and disease in relation to food and nutrition. I graduated in 2008 but my degree was just the start of my learning.


Over a decade later, I am still grateful for the opportunity I had to work at the weight loss clinic. It’s led to a career I love and I’m so passionate about the work I do. There is nothing more fulfilling for me than seeing our clients lose weight and witnessing the incredibly positive impacts it has on their lives. From gaining confidence and making peace with their bodies, to seeing considerable improvements in health conditions and energy levels. The benefit of committing to prioritising your health, wellbeing and weight management are endless.

WORKING WITH US

One thing that experience has taught me is how we are all so different. There’s no one standard diet formula that suits everyone. And we all have different challenges when it comes to managing our weight. At my practice, we work with you as an individual, creating solutions tailored to your unique needs.

 

When you work with us, we are committed to helping you overcome your weight challenges, achieve your ideal weight and maintain it long term. We are here to support you, guide you and keep you motivated with expertise, kindness and care.

 

If you have any questions you’d like to ask, or if you’d like to book a complimentary 25 minute phone call to find out whether we help you, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

SARAH LAW

Sarah has worked with hundreds of clients over the past decade to help them live in a healthy body that they feel confident in.


Sarah spent a large part of her teens and 20’s as a professional dancer battling with orthorexia and an unhealthy relationship with food and her body. This created a desire to understand the human body more so she could finally cut through the confusion and end the cycle of yoyo dieting. This fuelled her passion to help other women do the same.

 

Sarah specialises in supporting women who are struggling to lose weight due to underlying health issues. She’s helped many women manage their weight during and after the menopause, as well as clients with thyroid disease and immune system dysfunction. Sarah loves food and sharing healthy recipes with her clients. Her aim is to ensure that clients don’t feel deprived and instead, achieve their weight loss and health goals in a positive and sustainable way.
