Hi, I’m Paula

I founded Mindful Shape to help women who struggle with their weight, reach their natural shape and feel in charge around food.  I released 45 lbs and since then have also gotten back to my pre-pregnancy weight after two babies! 

As a certified life and weight loss coach, I’ve empowered thousands of women to uncover the true reasons for their overeating and then use my step by step process to help them release the excess weight, feel good in their bodies and end overeating for good. 

My methods are based on neuroscience and leading edge scientifically proven strategies for sustainable, healthy weight loss. I live on Vancouver Island in Victoria, Canada with my husband and two little kids.

While working with me you will

  • Understand why you’re overweight

  • Stop overeating

  • Reach and maintain your goal weight without cravings and thinking about food all the time

Get ready!

You’re finally going to get to see that elusive number on the scale.

    • You feel like your body is the right one for you and reflects who you are.

What Clients Are Saying…

 

"I feel incredibly in control. I have a sense of freedom because how I eat now is so easy and I don't have to think about it."

  • Sheri, Maryland USA

I had gained and lost the same 15 - 50 lbs multiple times and didn’t have control.

There's always a doubt that this isn't gonna work but now I'm accomplishing things I never thought I could do, like being okay with hunger and eating two meals a day with no snacking.

I don’t overthink food. I’m slowing down, eating healthier, and not overeating anymore. I'm more in tune, not only tasting my food, but also enjoying it.

Plus I’ve already lost 15 lbs in 3 months!"
