YOU LONG FOR A HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD

A healthier relationship with food starts with a healthy relationship with yourself. Join us at Slimming Together for a holistic solution to natural weight loss and personal development. Elevate your health, mood and vitality, and enhance your feel-good factor.

  • Are you always promising to make healthier choices, only to repeat the habits that keep you feeling stuck?
  • Are you an emotional eater or drinker?
  • Do you eat or drink alcohol in secret and feel desperate to break this habit?
  • Does internal self-criticism leave you feeling sad and exhausted?
  • Does your mood suffer because of your relationship with food?
  • Do you sometimes decline invitations because you’re feeling self-conscious about your weight?
  • Are you caught in a cycle of eat, work, sleep?
  • Do you sometimes feel you’re existing instead of really living?
  • Does your weight make you feel miserable a lot of the time?
  • Are you sick of not being able to wear your favourite clothes, because they’re too tight?

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone. And here’s what you need to know: The food industry has hooked many millions of people across the world on its fake-food that’s deliberately manufactured to be irresistible and highly addicting. And it’s easily available everywhere you go.

In desperation, millions have turned to weight-loss drugs and injections that act like chloroform to food noise and appetite, but as soon as they stop the drugs, food obsession and cravings for ultra processed foods (UPFs) return with a vengeance. And the weight piles back on, which can lead to worse metabolic health.

If you’re longing to have a better relationship with food, and ready to upgrade your lifestyle choices, this programme will help you succeed. If you’re eager to lose weight, without being reliant on a pharmaceutical injection for the rest of your life, this is the programme for you. If you’re looking for a natural way to regain self-control and raise your feel-good factor, join us at Slimming Together. I can help you succeed.

Why Slimming Together works

Silence the food noise naturally.
End the cycle of overeating forever.

Most “diets” fail because they offer a short-term discipline that delivers short-term results. Surgical interventions induce change in the physical body, but not in the mind. And pharmaceutical interventions keep you reliant on their product for life. But some folks develop intolerable side-effects and have to quit injections or medication.

If you’ve lived any of these scenarios, you know that long-term success depends on a programme you can build a way of life around. You can only maintain what you can sustain. And Slimming Together clients love that they’re changing their mindset and lifestyle habits and finding their power within. And they’re helping their families make healthier choices too.

It’s estimated that 90% of people who lose weight regain it. This raises the question of how can you be among the 10% who keep the weight off for good?

At Slimming Together, you will emerge from each class with a deeper understanding of your habits and your power to change. If you want inner balance and freedom from cravings for junk food, join us. Silence the food noise naturally and reclaim authority over your life path.

The Mind

Cognitive behavioural therapy, a constructive mindset shift and soul-centred coaching that addresses the emotional patterns behind overeating. All self-defeating habits are predominantly psychological.

The Body

The Pure Food Reset — a Mediterranean-style eating plan based on pure, natural foods. Pure foods promote vitality and curb cravings and hunger, naturally. Pure foods also reduce pain and stiffness and aid sleep.

The Spirit

Most people eat to feel fulfilled, not filled. They overeat while their spirit starves. Establishing the real cause of our hunger helps us transcend compensatory and reward eating or drinking.

The Life

Stress management, life skills and personal development to attain inner-balance and real change that lasts beyond the 10-week course. Look forward to each new day with renewed zest and love your life.

Your 10-week course

Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

While the specifics of each class vary to keep things fresh and responsive, these are the core topics and benefits you can always expect within a Slimming Together course:

  • Expert coaching in nutrition, life and stress management
  • A healthy, structured, balanced eating plan based on pure foods — Mediterranean-style
  • Cognitive behavioural therapy to balance mood and address emotional eating
  • Soul-centred coaching on mindful eating and living
  • Welcoming, inspiring classes in Jersey attended by lovely people from all walks of life — you’ll fit right in
  • A discreet weekly weight check-in — strictly confidential, your dignity always our priority
  • A safe, supportive place where you’ll feel encouraged every step of the way

Your coach
hello — I’m Joanne!
If you’re ready to change your life, I’m ready to help you succeed!

In 1986, I founded my Slimming Together programme. For more than twelve years, I’d been obese and frequently unwell. I was caught in a cycle of junk food addiction and inner turmoil. Actually, I felt the addiction had me; and I felt helpless to overcome my binge eating. I was desperate to break free from my self-imposed prison, and eventually, step by step, I succeeded.

For 40 years plus, I have been studying, teaching and writing about nutrition, eating disorders and personal development. I’ve coached many tens of thousands of people in person, and I’ve reached millions through my books, media broadcasts and regular newspaper columns.

I’ve facilitated coaching intensives in my home country, Scotland, and London, and in Los Angeles, California, where I lived for some years — and, of course, in Jersey, where I currently live. My primary interest is in connecting with you, the soul, and helping you realise your power within. I want you to enjoy your life, which is a precious gift.

Maintaining my authenticity in an industry that’s highly commercialised has always been my priority. Helping my clients break free from a vicious cycle of emotional overeating has been my forte. Reminding you of your value and helping you embrace your worth is another of my specialities (according to my clients). I care greatly about how youfeel.

My work integrates science-based nutrition, cognitive behavioural therapy, trauma-informed stress management, life-management and spiritual development. I understand people — our strengths, our habits, our aspirations. I know what works, and more importantly, I know what doesn’t work. After all these years, I’m still devoted to helping people discover their strength. I’d love to work with you!

My programme is one you can build a new way of life around. You’ll feel and see a difference after just 2 weeks. And then, week by week, the shift will happen.

My programme has lasted and thrived because it works. It is founded in truthful, timeless teachings that go way beyond diet and weight loss. To me, weight loss is only the wrapping for the gift. The real gift is the inner shift – the upgrade in your manner of thinking. This is what I help you establish.

If you’re longing for a richer inner life and ready to break the habits of a lifetime, I’m your coach! If you’re hungry to radically improve how you feel, get in touch for classes or 1-2-1 coaching.

What Slimming Together Members Say:

“I found the community feeling within these classes really helpful. Joanne has incredible empathy with her clients, based on her life experience and extensive knowledge in this field.”

KAREN, TRINITY CLASS

“Joanne’s classes are full of so much positivity, enlightenment and love. The slimming aspect is almost a secondary, though I lost 24lbs. Striving to understand and appreciate the life teachings she gives is the only way forward. The rest follows.”

ANDREA, ST. PETER CLASS

“Joanne’s Rapid Results book is amazing – I take my copy virtually everywhere and I refer to it again and again. I wore my first copy out and Joanne gave me a replacement – I’ll soon need to replace the replacement! If you follow it to the letter, it will work for you too.”

MICHELLE, ST. HELIER CLASS

“Joanne’s commitment, and her enthusiasm and passion that she shares with us all, brings a change in me that helps me beyond losing weight. My reset button is pushed at each class and the resulting joy I feel is wonderful. I’m so grateful for her knowledge, care and understanding.”

TRISH, ST. CLEMENT CLASS
