“Jess gave me the clarity and energy I needed to lead at work and at home."

“I thought I was doing all the right things,” says Marnie. “But I felt like I was operating on fumes, stretched too thin and constantly tired. I needed someone to help me figure out what was missing.”
Marnie wasn’t looking for quick fixes or generic advice. She needed a personalised solution that aligned with her leadership role and her commitment to being fully present for her family.
“When I came to Jess, I was ready for something that truly worked for me – not just another one-size-fits-all approach,” says Marnie. “Jess delivered exactly that.”
Jess started by mapping out Marnie’s daily life, including her work responsibilities, family commitments, and personal goals. This comprehensive view allowed Jess to identify key gaps in Marnie’s nutrition and routines.
One of the biggest revelations was the importance of starting the day with a proper breakfast.
“I’d always skipped breakfast or just grabbed leftovers from the kids’ plates,” says Marnie. “Jess showed me how vital that first meal was for setting me up to lead and thrive all day long.”
Jess tailored a program that not only addressed Marnie’s nutrition but also focused on mindset, exercise, sleep and habits.
“It wasn’t about perfection – it was about being consistent and prioritising myself in a way that felt achievable,” says Marnie. “That shift made all the difference.”
By fuelling her body properly and making small, meaningful changes, Marnie quickly saw results.
“I have more energy, I’m clearer-headed, and I feel stronger – not just physically, but mentally too,” says Marnie. “And while weight loss wasn’t my goal, it’s been an amazing bonus. The weight has been falling off because I’m finally fuelling my body correctly.”
Marnie also found the program to be incredibly sustainable.
“Three months on, I haven’t changed a thing from Jess’s plan, and I’m still seeing the benefits. I feel energised and fully present for both my team and my family.”
For Marnie, the most impactful part of the program was how tailored and actionable it was.
“Jess didn’t just give me advice – she created a strategy specific to my life. That level of personalisation was a game-changer,” says Marnie. “And the mindset work was just as valuable as the nutrition advice. Jess helped me realise I could take care of myself without compromising my leadership or my family commitments.”
On working with Jessica:
“Jess is a true professional. She’s knowledgeable, compassionate, and completely focused on creating solutions that work. It’s hard to explain how much this program has changed for me – it’s not just about food; it’s about how I show up in every area of my life.”
