Client Reviews and Success Stories

I joined Kerry's KISS the Weight Goodbye Program a few months ago and I have to say, her teaching, support and her Program have just changed my life!

Even though I had been watching what I ate and I stayed fairly active for so many years, she just opened my eyes completely.  There was so much I didn't know! 

I've lost inches around my stomach, I've lost weight, but I've gained just so much more confidence.  I put a skirt on that I hadn't worn in years and I cried when it fit.  

I feel so good, I have more energy and I just feel so much better in my skin.  

I can't tell you, Kerry, what you've done for me.  I appreciate your insight, your humour, and for supporting me through it all.  

Thank you so much!

What I thought I wanted to work on when I started with Kerry evolved into something much bigger over the course of 12 weeks.

At the completion of the sessions I felt much lighter yet also more grounded. During the 12 weeks I often found myself thinking back to what we had talked about in the previous sessions. 

Kerry has a gift of really hearing your words and reflecting them back to you. She pointed out things to me (in a very neutral and non-confrontational way) that I wasn't really aware of. So much of what we do is a result of deeply ingrained thoughts and behaviours. 

Kerry helped me recognize these thoughts and behaviours and make small changes that are adding up and having a positive impact. I really felt like she was on my side and wanted me to benefit from our sessions. She tailored each session to me as an individual, and each one built on the previous one. We focused on what I wanted to work on and what was important to me. She was always professional and fun to work with.

I look at the time that I spent working with Kerry as an investment in myself. I see positive changes that I am making as a result of the time that Kerry and I spent together. 

I would highly recommend Kerry as a Life Coach. You will be amazed at how you will evolve and grow over the sessions.

Kerry was great to work with!

I was feeling pretty low before joining her KISS Program because everything I tried didn't really work.  Long term anyway. 

I can honestly say I'm not dealing with cravings any more.  I feel like I'm not thinking about food all the time.  I can go out to a restaurant and not panic because I know how to work around the menu now.

I've learned more about myself than I thought was possible.  I didn't know my weight and my mind were connected.  Now I know how to manage both!

Thanks Kerry and thanks KISS Program for getting me on track and helping me lose weight and find myself. 

You were transparent and a great listener. You navigated through my questions with ease.  Even when I wasn't even making sense!

You were always so well prepared and professional, that made me feel good.

Before I started working with you I was close to 30 lbs overweight and it's safe to say I wasn't happy.  My goal was to lose 20 lbs during your Program.  I was tired of dieting and feeling like I was lost.  

Although I was a bit skeptical going into your Program, I was amazed at how much I was able to learn.  I reached my goal - I lost 20 lbs!  

Kerry, you were awesome!  You are funny and engaging and I look forward to working with you again on another part of my life.

I can say you gave me tools to use for the rest of my life.

Thank you,

Through this Coaching experience my life is quite different.  The difference is like the room has a fluorescent light rather than lights that are very dim.  Normally I’m always able to see the positive side but I couldn’t see that a few months ago and I needed help.  Now, my outlook on everything is different and much more positive. 

This has been like a spa for the mind!

The best part of working with you, I think, is I had full confidence in you so I didn’t need to pretend to be anything I wasn’t.  I didn’t feel pressured to be someone I wasn’t - or feel like I had to have the right answer.  I could be honest and I didn’t feel judged or that you would hold anything against me.  I felt I could respond honestly and I felt supported. 

This was exactly what I needed and at the right time.

I had several “aha” moments during my coaching sessions or while completing the assigned homework. This is the first time I have ever asked for help or admitted I was struggling. I had thought this was a weakness. I now see it as a real strength.  I also watched the positive changes I was making positively affect my family as well. I feel empowered now.  So happy I did this for myself.  I'm grateful to you for your patience, support, and professionalism.  Your calm supportive presence was so appreciated.  You provided me with the tools, support, and oomph I needed to get back on track with both life and business goals.  J.S.

I was close to 193 lbs which is the biggest I've been in my life.  I was at the end of my rope and not happy, to say the least.

I joined Kerry's KISS the Weight Goodbye Program and followed every step that she gave me.  Some weeks were hard, some weeks weren't easy, but manageable and I could do them.

Not every week was focussed on food and I liked that.  I liked learning about exercise and our mindset.  I needed to learn about stress and sleep too because I didn't pay much attention to those before.

I followed what she said, I did the work and I've lost weight and will keep going using everything she taught me.  

I like that I have lifetime access to the material so that if I fall off track in the future I can get back on.

I'm glad I spent time working on myself through this Program and with Kerry as my Coach.  I looked forward to our calls and she always answered any of my questions even if I've already asked them before (and I forgot).

I would definitely recommend taking this KISS Program.  You won't be disappointed.  Thank you.

I took a six-week health and wellness course with Kerry and I loved it!

Kerry's awesome approach comes from her ability to connect and relate to the people she is Coaching, and with her knowledge and insight I was able to identify and change habits and beliefs that had kept me from succeeding on my wellness journey.

I looked forward to every session and would recommend Kerry as a Coach to anyone who is looking for someone who is knowledgeable in her field, but also very authentic and a great listener.

Thanks Kerry!

My work with Kerry was the confidence booster I was hoping for. 

Kerry’s honesty, information and availability helped set me up for ongoing personal success and confidence.  

I feel as though my brain has had a shift to help me continue forward and not fall behind as I have done in the past.

Thank you!

Kerry provided our CHEO staff with a webinar on how to “Be A Goal Digger and Show Up for Yourself”. 

Her presentation style came across well and her "what you see, is what you get" attitude makes her very relatable. 

She reminded us of how we need to be good to ourselves and treat ourselves as we would our own best friends. 

Participants walked away with a worksheet and assignment to produce a SMART goal to help us to keep moving forward! 

It was a great reminder about how we sometimes have to say 'no' to some things so we can say 'yes' to things we love doing.

Thank you Kerry,

 I loved the coaching sessions I had with Kerry because she helped me stay on track with my goals and helped me prioritize time for myself, which I was struggling with.  

We started each session with positive things that I accomplished which helped me see my progress. 

Kerry provided me with strategies to deal with self-sabotage, which was really valuable.  

I also learned a breathing technique which helps me through life and business.  

I would totally recommend Kerry as a Coach because she helps you find your inner self that is waiting to shine.

Dear Kerry,

I thought I would let you know what some of the ladies had to say after your talk last night at our TOPS meeting on the topic of “What it Means to be Healthy and Have a Healthy Lifestyle”.

After you left, everyone had nothing but positive comments! We all enjoyed your visit very much, and here’s what some of the ladies had to say: 

• She was truly inspiring. 
• She had me captivated right from the moment she started to speak.
• Very motivating and down to earth with a great sense of humour.
• It was great that she spent time educating us on healthy eating but I also liked how she included other parts of our lives that affect how we feel and how they affect our health.

I have to say you were truly inspiring and we would love to have you back sometime!

With your permission, I will reach out to other TOPS Chapters to recommend you as a guest speaker. 

Again, thank you so much for donating your time.

 Kerry is an AMAZING Coach! 

It's so clear that she is in your corner the moment you begin working with her.  Her unwavering, committed, and organized presence was exactly what I needed during a time of intense and not entirely welcome change, and I was lost. 

Knowing that I had time with her each week to keep me moving forward in both manageable and meaningful ways, and create space just for me was invaluable.

I would recommend her for anyone looking for support, desiring change, and having a no-nonsense but kind champion on their team. I cannot say enough good things.

Kerry's approach is rooted in meeting the client where they are to foster self-empowerment, daily gratitude and personal growth. 

She is kind, compassionate and really wants to help people succeed in whatever their goal may be. 

It was such a pleasure working with her.
