Following is a testimonial from one of Jade's valued clients;
I first came to see Jade to treat my persistent Irritable Bowel symptoms and achieve my life long goal of losing weight. From the very first consultation, I was very impressed with Jade's compassionate and personalised approach to establishing a treatment plan and clear set goals to get my digestive system back on track and, shed my unwanted kilos! Jade gained my full trust, and her ability to explain the reasons why my body reacts to the foods I eat and why all other attempts to lose weight had yet to succeed, proved to me that she genuinely cared and had my best interest at heart. Within a month of following Jade's instructions carefully I was seeing results, firstly in my digestive system (I had NEVER felt better) and secondly in my weight. The best part of all this hard work were the reactions I was receiving from work colleagues, family and close friends, people couldn't believe how great I was looking and apparently I was "glowing". I just feel fantastic and it's showing! My self esteem and determination to keep on track has never been better, but all of these results would never have happened if it wasn't for Jade's support, encouragement and eagerness to educate me on healthy eating and nutrition.

Here are some recent exciting results achieved from some of Jade's clients;
John from Kingsville
John lost over 10 kilos and 9 cm off his waist in only 1 month of seeing Jade. In just the first 2 weeks, his overall vitality and energy improved noticeably, and he felt stronger and less hungry. So much so that he is now able to enjoy playing golf or running on the treadmill everyday! He is now excited about joining the gym!
Shona from Bentleigh
When Shona first came to see Jade, she was a self confessed “sugar and chocolate addict”, and wasn’t aware that her food choices were actually contributing to these cravings and piling on the kilos. Under Jade’s regular guidance and support, Shona has changed her eating habits, curbed her sugar cravings, and has lost just over 17 kilos and 17.5cm from her waist in only 7months! She is now fitting back into clothes she never thought she would and feeling great!
Claire from Ormond
When Claire first came to see Jade she was not only feeling very overweight, but completely exhausted, run down and suffering low self-esteem. After just over 2 weeks of commencing a detox program with Jade and working very hard to implement the changes to her diet and lifestyle, Claire lost over 5 kilos, of both fat and excess fluid. Now, after only 5 months, Claire has nearly reached her goal weight, having lost a total of 17.5 kilos and 17.5 cm from around her waist, and people are definitely noticing!
And here is another testimonial from one of Jade's clients...
My name is Catherine, and for most of my life, I have struggled with my weight. However, from my very first appointment with Jade, I knew that she was the perfect person to guide me on my final weight loss journey!
I had become very fed up and discouraged by several attempts at weight loss; losing weight to just end up putting it back on again. But, in my regular meetings with Jade, I realised it was important to work on both my mind as well as my body in order to overcome the reasons why I could never reach my goal weight.
Jade and I have worked very hard together and so far, I have lost 10 kilos, 20cm off my waist and my goal weight is in sight!
Jade has also helped me improve many other areas of my health, especially managing my anxiety and improving my digestion. I have learnt a lot from Jade and really enjoy our weekly appointments! I would like to thank her for all her support, encouragement and patience.
