Hey!
I'm Sheryl
If you are struggling with weight, I know how you feel.

I’m an emotional eater and I’ve learnt how to maintain my 70kg weight loss, Even though sometimes I still emotionally eat.
I’m Sheryl – nutritionist, emotional eater, recovering sugar addict and someone who walks the talk everyday. I can help you to lose weight but, more importantly, by working with me you will learn how to keep the weight off.
I’ve worked as a nutritionist for the past 10 years, sharing my tools and strategies with hundreds of others.
Let me help you too!

I'm really enjoying the resources provided with Bootcamp. The Facebook group is a great resource too, being able to share food ideas, see what other people are eating or wondering about is a help when you know its not just you!

Working with Sheryl has really changed my relationship with food. I'm so much more mindful now of what I'm eating and why. I've lost 8kgs and I'm nearly at my goal. It feels awesome!

Sarah Orewa
I've worked with Sheryl for the past 13 months. I got to my goal of 15kgs weight loss in 5 months and I've been in maintenance ever since. Seeing Sheryl has kept me on track and helped me learn how to maintain weight in the long term.
Jennifer Stanmore Bay
I have just completed the 8 week challenge with a total of 6kgs lost. Id have to say Sheryl's approach to weight loss is a game changer for me. Her very simple strategies make it easy to follow and, I'm happy to say, maintain. This is not the normal horrible diet you cant wait to be over but a lifestyle that still includes all the yummy stuff. Which is why its easy to continue. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Why Weight to anyone that wants long term results!!!
