What patients are saying:
NOURISHING ENDO PROGRAM PATIENT REVIEW
I will definetly recommend this program. Firstly, Kirby has been such an important partner in my journey to recovery. I learned the most of how lifestyle, especially food, can impact endometriosis. If I had any questions, Kirby was happy to respond to my emails. This program showed me how easy it is to make changes that can significantly improve my quality of life. I felt a lot more empowered to manage this condition. The more I understood the role all these parts played, the more I could make the necessary changes to improve my situation. The most significant impact was how I changed my nutrition habits and how my mindset around food changed. I started to eat 3 balanced meals a day. I’ve noticed a reduction in fatigue and brain fog as a result. I also lost some belly fat without intending to, and actually end up eating more than I did before. I have more energy to exercise daily, even if it’s just a 15 minute walk. I’m also more aware of my water intake and stress management. Even though everything is still a work in progress, increased awareness has made all the difference to start making good changes.
I learned a lot of new information. I enjoyed having a weekly check-ins with Kirby and loved her calm presence to hold my hand through this journey. Kirby explained everything in such a simple way and showed practical examples of how to implement changes. I cant thank Kirby enough.

Type II DIABETES & OBESITY PATIENT REVIEW
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, that’s when I met Kirby, she too the time to explain everything to me in detail, with her help, I was able to lose 40kg’s in a couple of months, now I am pre-diabetic and living a healthy life with a balanced diet. It wasnt an easy journey and this didnt happen overnight, It took me 9 months to get to this point and I plan to continue. I am feeling so good. Thank you Kirby.

Type II DIABETES PATIENT REVIEW
I consulted with Kirby for guidance and assistance in managing Diabetes and associated weight control/management. She is practical in her approach and gave advice and recommendations tailored for me and my situation. We identified markers of where I was going wrong and recommended how to correct these, not through costly eating plans or diets, but rather long term solutions that is affordable and sustainable. I am positive, have more energy, results are improving and her continued support and guidance is really appreciated.

POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME PATIENT REVIEW
I used oral contraception for many years, initially as a management tool prescribed for adult acne and later for ongoing contraception needs. Oral contraception had masked very obvious PCOS symptoms, and weaning off it along with clinician investigation I discovered very late that in fact I have PCOS. After experiencing a miscarriage and trying to make sense of big changes in my body and symptoms I struggled to make changes that had an impact. Seeing Kirby has been a revelation; a steady return to understanding whole-lifestyle, and small decisions, that impact my well-being. This has not been limited to thinking about fertility, but thinking about healthy habits that impact my every day (and future).
It felt a bit overwhelming at first, but her gentle focus on small shifts has led to greater awareness. Primarily I have shifted my mindset and relationship to food and age-old binge cycles, this has also resulted in shifting 10+kgs, improvement in Vit B, D, and iron deficiencies, dehydration, erratic sleep patterns and inconsistent movement. It’s a journey and I know it won’t always be this perfect curve of improvement, but I am so thankful for the guidance and framework of thinking geared toward functional shifts and awareness that will be a part of my toolbox for life. As we shift gears toward my fertility journey, I feel that we have established a good foundation. Thank you Kirby – these are words but it’s more than words of appreciation.

FERTILITY PATIENT REVIEW
Kirby is very knowledgeable, supportive, and helpful. I gained so much from my sessions with her! I was struggling to fall pregnant and she helped me get back on track, a few months later I had a positive test. Kirby was an important part of my team that made that possible.

PCOS PATIENT REVIEW
I went to Kirby to help me with my PCOS, I was guilty of using google as my treatment for years. Kirby helped me with my weight, body composition, better eating habits, hair loss, and acne. She educated me on food, hormones, and supplements and gave me a sustainable long-term plan to manage them. In a few short months, I lost weight and a jean size, and feel very confident I will continue to make progress. Kirby was wonderful to work with.

PCOS-INSULIN RESISTANCE PATIENT REVIEW
My journey with Kirby started in November 2021. Since my very first consultation, there was something remarkable about her. Finally, someone who understood and didn’t judge me based on my weight. She addressed my questions and concerns. My results speak for themselves and I think the reason it is so successful is that we didn’t take drastic steps and changes. She monitors me and knows exactly when to make a change while being optimistic about the progress made no matter how small.
Kirby is so compassionate and passionate about what she does. She does not overwhelm you with unrealistic expectations. She works out a plan that specifically suits your needs. She always goes the extra mile and even takes time to find out how my mom is doing in all this change. I am so grateful and thankful to Kirby for choosing to take this journey with us one step at a time.

GERD & GUT COMPLICATIONS PATIENT REVIEW
Kirby is fantastic. I went to Kirby with GERD and stomach issues and within just a few sessions I can feel that my GERD is healed and my stomach is healthy again. Kirby focuses on, not only on nutrition but also on mental well-being and stress management. Having her as my dietitian has been life-changing! I am seeing and feeling the positive results from the eating plan & sessions with her. She is well experienced has great advice and is so encouraging.
She has been with me each step of the way, making knowing what to eat less stressful and less overwhelming. Seeing her is a great investment to make in yourself. I highly recommend choosing Kirby as your dietitian! Thank you, Kirby, I am so grateful for your help. I am so happy with my progress, I have learned so much from you and look forward to learning more.

HIGH CHOLESTEROL & WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PATIENT REVIEW
Kirby has a holistic approach and I have learned so much from working with her, rehydration, sleep, how to eat and so on. She takes the time to create delicious and healthy food plans around your preferences while working to the correct amount of food you need. I have seen the results for myself. Through working with Kirby I also got my cholesterol out of the danger zone and into the safe zone within a few months. You have to put the work in, but guidance, positive encouragement, and support is all there. I can’t recommend Kirby highly enough.

Thickened endometrial lining & irregualr menstruacl cycle Patient Review
I was referred by my gynecologists due to the thickening of my uterine lining. My doctor advised me to get healthy through nutrition and without any medication. I was referred to 1 dietitian and her advice and support did not give any guidance. I came across Kirby’s page through a friend and this was truly a match made in heaven.
Not only does Kirby look holistically at your health and well-being but her education on proper nutrition and guidance made me more aware of what I put in my mouth. Since I started with Kirby I have lost weight and my period returned as I was struggling for months with an irregular cycle.
This is just the start with Kirby and I hope to continue my journey with her. Thank you again.

NOURISHING ENDO PROGRAM PATIENT Review
Thank you so much!
The Nourishing Endo program really encouraged me to focus on the aspects of this journey I can control. I feel so much more knowledgeable, empowered and confident that my body can get pregnant. I received answers I would have never gotten in the western world and so much knowledge I will be continuing to incorporate into my daily life.

OWN YOUR PCOS PROGRAM PATIENT Review
I was very excited to learn about what foods have a negative impact on my body. After the testing, I will admit there were a few surprises. I started the PCOS program in the following weeks and very quickly discovered just how some of those foods presented themselves in a negative way. I also found that many of the symptoms I was previously experiencing had gone away after eating better and being consistant. This program was definitely life-changing from the standpoint of how food impacts your body. Truly a learning experience that I will use for the rest of my life. So happy I did this. The bonus of it all, I lost about 6kgs. Many thanks to Kirby for her support and coaching throughout the entire program!

OWN YOUR PCOS PROGRAM PATIENT Review
I was referred to Kirby for my PCOS symptoms in September 2023, and never thought that my eating habits/lifestyle had so much to do with it. I generally felt anxious as I had no control over how bad my body felt, which caused mental, emotional, physical and even spiritual tiredness.
I was definitely skeptical at first, but signing up to the “Own your PCOS” program and working with Kirby has brought a new joy.
As she says: “consistency over perfection” – I am nowhere close to being perfect with my plan, but I recently had an 8 month check in where I discovered I dropped a few kg’s which was a massive win. About two weeks later I went for my bloods and the results were great, another win! (I think Kirby was happier than I was and am still wondering if they gave the correct persons results lol:) )
I could not have done this without her. She provided a knowledgeable, compassionate and caring way of changing the way I saw everything, and as a result I am eating to a healthier version of myself. 8 months in and a massive change in glucose, thyroid , cholesterol and so many other levels. Feeling less tired, less moody, and definitely less bloated, I am honestly looking forward to continuing my journey with Kirby!
Thank you once again for all the help and assistance and making me see that it can be done!
YOU ARE AMAZING!!
