Empower your mind. Free your body.                 Empower your mind. Free your body.

What is Breakfree?
Breakfree is not a diet or exercise program.
But it is a smarter way to lose weight and keep it off.
For most of us, losing weight is only half the battle.
Keeping those kilos from creeping back on can be an
even greater challenge.
Breakfree is a new cost-effective service that uses
qualified health coaches to deliver real long term
solutions for people struggling with their weight.
The Breakfree philosophy is pretty simple.
We believe that lasting success is only possible when
you can let go of all the one-size-fits-all, quick-fix, and
short-term approaches to weight loss and, instead,
focus your energy on developing 7 core skills that will
not only help you lose weight, but are absolutely vital
for keeping it off.
After an initial assessment, you will be paired with
your own personal health coach who understands your
unique challenges and needs. Your health coach will
work with you one-on-one to create a realistic plan –
one you both know you are going to stick to. Your plan
will focus on whatever areas require the most attention
– nutrition, eating, movement, exercise, sleep, stress,
motivation or emotions.
Your coach will then lead you through your tailored
program, teach you the required skills, provide you
with effective strategies, and give you the confidence
and ability to make a change. Going it alone is always
tough, which is why your health coach will keep your
motivation and weight loss in check with ongoing
encouragement, support and accountability.
Breakfree is all about working smarter, not harder. We
will show you how to create sustainable habits that
will reward you with a lifetime of good health at your
