"During and after my pregnancy I piled on a huge amount of weight.  I had got to the stage where I was starting to give up on myself and settle for a life of being overweight.  Karen really was my last chance.  I have been working with her once a week for 15 months and have lost just over 5 stone!  Every once in a while you come across someone who makes a difference.  Karen Stewart is one such person."

"Words cannot express how much running the New York Marathon has meant to me.  I would never have had the courage or self-confidence to venture upon such a feat without your always professional approach and knowledge, your unstinting encouragement, genuine and caring support and, above all, your friendship.  To say merely thank you does not begin to describe my debt of gratitude to you for bringing me ... kicking and screaming often ... to that glorious stride when I crossed the Finish line ... a stride which became a most surprisingly defining moment in my life.  However inadequate as it is ... thank you Karen."
