“I cannot thank Kate enough. For years I suffered with IBS and with a demanding full time job and wanting to keep a social life, being healthy and dealing with IBS has always been hard. But working with Kate changed that for me - she made a plan that is not only easy to follow and realistic to the goal, shared valuable guidance along the way and on top customized it all to my exact needs. She’s a wonderful and very flexible coach that I enjoyed working with.
The check ins with Kate are great and really helped me to learn about my body and stay on track with my goal. Now training and eating well and without flares is part of my day to day life. 10/10 would recommend to anyone with a nutritional goal.”

“You have helped me find some healthy, high protein, tasty, speedy breakfast options that I enjoy.
You have shown me that small amounts of time spent prepping makes life much easier! Whether that is some fruit and veg chopping, egg boiling, or cooking some protein so it is ready to put together a meal in no time at all. I now realise that a well "prepared" fridge is much better than just a packed fridge! You have encouraged me to try new things, and if they don't work, to move on! To consider if things/actions actually 'serve me'. You have also reminded me that I need to make myself a priority! I need to voice my concerns, thoughts and wants. That actions, small, consistent, achievable, made over time, will have more of an impact than trying to do everything full blast at the same time...which never lasts.
You are also the best example of "teach a man to fish". You have certainly helped with meal ideas, but you have never prescribed a strict meal plan. instead you have taught me to really consider food labels, think of macros over the course of a week, make 'better choices' and also "live life". ”

“When I decided to carry out a review of our menu, Kate was recommended by a mutual contact and a great recommendation she was! Kate has given clear advice and adapted our menu to suit the needs of 4 very busy nurseries whilst being nutritionally balanced to ensure the children are fuelled for a busy day of learning & fun. She has always been responsive, informative and open to our ideas and feedback ensuring the menu works for us operationally. I would not hesitate in recommending Kate’s services.”

“I recently engaged The Food Boss for a nutrition consult. As someone who thinks they already eat an extremely good and varied diet, all planned and cooked from scratch, I was interested to see if I was fuelling my body with what it needed at a nutrient level. The results were surprising! I definitely have lots of room for improvement. Kate made awesome recommendations on strategies to improve some key micronutrients within my daily cooking. She was mindful of my ethical choices around consumption of meat and my complex gut health issues. She’s also my best friend!
I cannot recommend Kate’s service enough! It’s a great process to really look at what’s going into your body. I’m a massive believer of having a holistic approach when it comes to my health, I like to look at it from lots of different angles, and not be fixated on a one way approach.”

“After I had my first baby, I bounced back to my old self pretty quickly. So when baby number two came along I assumed the same would happen again. But after 3 years I wasn’t getting anywhere. I had tried a number of popular ‘diets’ and was exercising regularly, but my weight and body shape remained the same.
When I first reached out to Kate I was feeling pretty low and confused. I suffer from Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) but my weight had never been one of the symptoms. Kate was amazing she really listened to everything I had to say, looked at my diet and then recommend a number of easy swaps as well as adding supplements (something I’d never tried before).
Slowly but surely, my shape has changed. I’ve stopped looking at the scales and instead take weekly measurements. I’m still not exactly where I want to be, but I am well on the way using all the advice and information I’ve gained from Kate.
Kate was there every step of the way for me. Weekly phone calls and texts, nothing was too much trouble. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kate to anyone who feels they are stuck in a rut or bouncing from diet to diet, you won’t regret it!”

“We have partnered with The Food Boss over the past few years to present expert talks on various nutrition topics at client sites and for our own team. Her talks about Food and Mood have been particularly popular. Her practical advice around healthy eating has always been well received and her candour in dispelling nutritional myths is refreshing. We have recently partnered with her to provide short, insightful Instagram Live sessions which have proved to be quite engaging.”
Swati Deshpande, Marketing Manager at FOODITUDEMar 21
“I’ve been working with Kate on a range of nutrition-related personal goals since August of this year and have been making amazing progress thanks to Kate. My husband and I approached her together, because with very different goals and no guidance or plan it was feeling impossible for us to make progress and to still be able to enjoy mealtimes together.
Kate is so professional and so knowledgeable but at the same time very relatable and approachable, which means that there is never any awkwardness in consultations, and I feel I can ask her anything at all without being judged.
With weight loss and eating a well-rounded plant-based diet being amongst my goals, Kate has helped me find an approach that really works for me and that is making this process much easier than I ever would have expected. Kate was able to make recommendations that meant that my husband and I could work towards our individual goals without any hassle, which has been such a pleasant surprise. Seeing my progress through Kate’s eyes, knowing that evidence and Kate's experience is informing what we are doing, and the fact that Kate is evaluating how it is going (making adjustments or further recommendations on the way) really helps me feel confident and positive about the journey through all its ups and occasional downs. I love that as well as focussing on food and nutrition, Kate has also helped me more generally to consider my habits, routines and other practices that are now supporting me to reach my goals. I can tell that some of these will continue to serve me for many years and are transferable to other areas of my life.
The support Kate provides is overall incredible and has really helped me keep my momentum and motivation going. In hindsight I’m so glad I reached out to her, because I know from previous attempts that I wouldn’t be in the same place today if I hadn’t.
I couldn’t recommend Kate more highly (and in fact have already recommended her to several friends who are struggling to reach nutrition-related goals of their own!).”

“Kate provided nutrition workshops/Q&A sessions to work alongside corporate bootcamps I was running. Each session was different and well thought through. The response from attendees was enormously positive. She makes nutrition easier to understand, with achievable strategies to apply to everyday life.”
Chris Fleetwood, Development Director, LandsecOct 18
“Kate provided workshops at two of our client sites and in our own production kitchen on the topic of food and nutrition as it relates to mental health. As contract caterers providing our clients with the majority of their food for the day it’s really important that our food not only tastes good but is good for you. Working with Kate gave us the opportunity to add value to our contracts in a meaningful way. Our clients really engaged with the topic and we felt confident relying on Kate for her expertise. As a registered associate nutritionist she is a source of credible knowledge and advice. But she also gets her message across in a personable and fun way. If you’re thinking of hiring Kate for speaking engagements or menu development – go for it! You won’t regret it!”
