SHARING SOME CLIENT LOVE.....

In the last 10 months I have been speaking with Van; my experience with Van has been completely outstanding from beginning to end.

In just one telephone call Van can pull all your emotions, challenges and thoughts together and guides me back onto my right path. She understands; listens and advises me to give me the reassurance I need to keep fighting for my dreams.

Van has helped me realise I can be who I desire; can and want to be and I cannot thank her enough for that.

Van has helped me improve my eating habits and kickstarted my weight loss after many years of trying.

Van looks at things holistically, assessing sleep patterns, stress levels and your relationship with food. Since losing weight, I find that I have more energy and the walks are no longer tiring like they used to be.

Over the past few months, with Van’s support, I have made positive changes with monitoring my weight and no longer weigh myself on a daily basis.

She has made me realise, health improvement is more important than a number on the scales. I really feel great!

Van has helped me immensely, she has given me confidence to deal with my treatment after surgery, she has helped me to understand what I'm doing as far as what is advisable to eat and quantities.

She is a very warm, kind lady who makes you feel at ease, I am so pleased that I decided to consult with her and would advise anyone who has had this surgery to do the same.

Just had my first consultation with Van, pre surgery. She is amazing! I feel totally empowered to do this, and cannot wait to start my journey. She tells it as it is and has a wicked sense of humour, something I feel I’m going to need in the coming months.

Van is not a stuffy health professional, she listens as well as talks and takes a real interest in what you have to say.

Thanks Van, for making me feel validated and helping me to start my day with a smile on my face.

Van is a fantastic dietitian, when I first met Van I thought how can she possibly understand my issues when she looks so amazing and petite and could never have possibly had a weight or eating problem.

 Well I was so very wrong, Van has studied & researched her chosen career, Van offers the tools needed to go forward & has a great understanding of weight issues, much deeper than most.

Van makes a difference because she takes time to listen and gives you complete honesty which I have always valued as that is so important to anyone who has weight issues and needs help & support to gain/regain control of there lives.

Van loves to see you gain your confidence & self belief which a lot of us lack for so long.

Van will be with you when you have your highs & lows as she is totally committed to what she does, I totally recommend Van, she inspires you to want to be the best version of yourself.

I’ve had several sessions with Van and she really knows her stuff.  She is so personable and really understands exactly what you need. Thank you Van.

Where do I start with this five star review. I met Van in July 2017. I was in a right mess with my diet, no clue where to start or how to begin. Van listened to all my challenges and gave me just the best advice. She asked me what my goals were for losing weight and I explained how all I longed for was a baby and from a young age all I was told was try and lose weight , well it never happened as I could just never shift the weight... with every failed month I just piled on more and more weight.

I don’t even know how to explain after meeting Van for the first time changed my mind set on the way I looked at life and of course food. She set weekly/monthly goals nothing was too much trouble she was there at every bad week or even better the good weeks.

She really has changed my life!! More so 14 months after our first appointment I lost a staggering 7stone and fell pregnant with my beautiful little daughter who’s three months old today!

To say Van changed my life in more ways than one is a total understatement.

I can honestly say she is truly an amazing woman inside and out and any one who chooses to work with her will not be disappointed I promise!!

So when I contacted Van I was in a dark place, no confidence and lost with the whole losing weight thing. Within 5 minutes of speaking to Van on a discovery call I knew she was the person that was going to support me to where I needed to be!

When I started talking to Van I started to realise very quickly how much emotional eating had impacted my life and past hurts. Fast forward 5/6 months later, I was getting ready and mentally prepared to have WLS.

The day came for WLS and I have never been so ready for this life changing journey, thanks to Van's sessions and encouragement! Fast forward I am still having my sessions with Van, which I love and I am now 88.2 lbs lighter and still going strong :)

Van I couldn't have done this journey without your support and looking forward to continuing this journey with your great support. Big Love xx

I have found Van to be so easy to talk to, knowledgeable and she has outlined what steps I need to take, and what life changes I need to make to achieve my weight management goals. In all of this, she has used language that is understandable to even a donut like me!!

She is helping me to reach for realistic expectations of what is achievable with the amount of time and effort that I am able / willing to put in.

It is a pleasure to work with her. And I recommend Van to anyone needing support through their bariatric journey.

Van is utterly and totally brilliant. I have made so so much progress in our sessions and I hope to never have to give her up!... just the willingness to work with me in a way I can and the emails through the month.... I simply and completely love how she operates.

Worth every penny of investment. Thankyou Van. I love my life... I love the new me... and thanks to my ongoing work with you, hope I can keep up my progress... you're a goddess.

I have loved working with Van ❤️

She is just a perfect mix of just lovely mixed with no nonsense and will gently challenge and encourage. Van’s knowledge of nutrition along with our behaviours has been invaluable.

 I would highly, highly recommend Van.

It may seem like a huge financial commitment to sign up to work with Van, but I can’t stress enough how beneficial this has been for me.

Van is so passionate and committed about what she does and she genuinely wants you to succeed at becoming the best version of yourself, the you that you deserve to be.

Whether you have had surgery or are still thinking about, Van can help you navigate the mind field of bariatric surgery and weight loss. Nobody knows more about this surgery or the struggles around eating than this wonderful lady.

Her approach is all about support and guidance and never about shaming or criticism. For the first time in my life I felt that I was talking to someone who totally understood me without any explanation, she just got me.

Working with Van feels like I’m talking to a very special friend who wants only the best for me. I invested so much in my surgery, and I just wanted to give myself the very best outcome I could.

Thank you, Van, for helping me to become the new me.

I'm a little late writing this review but I want to say that Van is wonderful! She is full of very practical and actionable information.  Very professional, uplifting, friendly, and easy to talk to.  

A couple times I started veering off course and she helped set me straight - I'm forever grateful for that!  Highly recommended.  Thank you for your help.

Had several sessions with Van she's very professional and very caring. She treats you not only as a patient but as a friend too. Would highly recommend Van to family and friends, she's a big loss at Heartlands Hospital.
