Bariatric coaching
Tailored coaching with zero gimmicks! Proven in the US, now changing lives in the UK.
Filling the gap that no one else does
Rewrite isnât about quick fixes or cookie-cutter solutions. Itâs real, down-to-earth support that meets you exactly where you areâwhether youâre just beginning your journey or navigating life after surgery or medication. Bariatric surgery and weight loss meds can be life-changingâbut they donât always come with the emotional and behavioural support you really need. Many people regain the weight, not because the tools failed, but because the support system did. This is the part thatâs missing from most weight loss surgery packagesâand itâs exactly what Rewrite delivers. Weâre here so you stay on track, feel understood, and build a life you truly enjoy.
How it works
The issue isnât that you donât know what to eat. Youâre aware grabbing a daily Frappuccino isnât ideal, sneaking sweets isnât healthy, and regular fast food trips arenât doing you any favours. Sure, weâll guide you towards eating whole foods, but reminding you to eat fruits, vegetables, and breakfast wonât surprise youâyou already know the basics.
Rewrite isnât just about the food; itâs about transforming how you think. Your biggest obstacle is how you handle your emotions. Bad day at work? Ice cream wonât fix it. Breakups, arguments, or stress donât need a food-based escape. Our team will guide you to acknowledge your feelings, express them healthily, and move forward without turning to food. Weâll explore why your brain responds to food the way it does, and teach you healthier ways to manage those feelings.
The person you aspire to become isnât waiting at your goal weightâthey start showing up now. Together, weâll build a healthier you. It wonât always be easy, but with the right tools and support, lasting change is absolutely possible!
A team that gets it
At Rewrite, youâre never alone. Join a supportive, welcoming community where you can openly share your experiences, ask for guidance, and celebrate every victoryâbig or small. Connection, compassion, accountability, and genuine conversations form the heart of Rewrite.
Weâve got a powerhouse team dedicated to helping you crush your goals and create the badass life you deserve! While youâll always have a main contact throughout the program, weâre here to support you in ways that are unique to each of us.
Together, weâll help you face your demons head-on and build the life youâve always dreamed of. Weâre here to empower, support, guide, and push you through the tough stuff, so you can take on the world with confidence.
Shenelle
Founder, CEO and US Coach
Hey, Iâm Shenelle. At my heaviest, I weighed 298 pounds. In April 2022, I made the life-changing decision to have the gastric sleeveâand that was just the beginning. What I didnât expect was how much it would push me to confront the mental side of my journey too, especially as someone in recovery from food addiction.
Did I mention Iâm also a recovered alcoholic and drug addict?! It took me years to realise that the way I was eating mirrored how I used to drinkâchaotically, compulsively, and without any boundaries!
And letâs be realâthe Western diet? Itâs an absolute trap. A dangerous cycle of processed foods and habits that keep people like you and me stuck. Thatâs why I do what I doâto guide you through this noise with honesty, clarity, and zero sugarcoating. You deserve the truth.
I founded Rewrite in the US and later brought it to the UK, and itâs been one of the biggest blessings of my life. Iâll always show up for my clients âespecially on the days when it feels hardest to show up for yourself. Together, weâll break old patterns, create real change, and build a life that actually feels good.
Helen
UK Coach
Hey, Iâm Helenâgreat to meet you! I hold an advanced diploma in Health and Social Welfare and am currently training as a bariatric and life coach with The Coaching Academy UK.
For years, I dedicated myself to working in health and social care, balancing shift work alongside being a wife and mum. Throughout this demanding period, I often neglected myself, turning to food as a way to cope with stress and difficult emotions.
Struggling with weight my entire life, Iâve experienced every diet out there. As a self-confessed emotional eater and food addict, I reached breaking point in 2019, approaching 40, and decided on weight loss surgery. COVID and gallbladder surgery delayed my journey, but in October 2023, everything changed when I met Shenelle at Rewrite. With her support, I confronted my food addiction, changed my relationship with food, and eliminated trigger foods.
I finally had my gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey in June 2024ânow seven stones lighter and healthier than ever. Weight loss however itâs achieved, is not just about losing weight, itâs about changing your mindset, getting out there and living your best life. I am here to help you do that and am excited to share your journey with you!
Evie
UK Coach
Hey, Iâm Evieâmental health advocate and co-chair of Rewrite UK. At 38, Iâm finally healthy, happy, confidentâand proof that itâs never too late to rewrite your story.
My lifelong battle with weight and food addiction meant years of yo-yo dieting and binge eating. Despite a gastric band in 2011, old habits resurfaced due to a lack of proper support. After complications, it was removed and replaced with a gastric bypass in 2023 â and this time, I was determined to do things differently.
Rewrite gave me the tools and mindset I needed, helping me break free from diet culture and build lasting, healthy habits. I lost the weight and, crucially, kept it off. Today, Iâm maintaining a healthy 8.5 stone and love the skin Iâm in.
As a mum living with ADHD, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and past food addiction, I deeply understand the challenges of balancing mental health, chronic illness, family life, and weight management. Iâm a qualified Mental Health First Aider passionate about science-backed wellness and community support.
Rewrite UK exists to empower everyone to reclaim their relationship with food, body, and lifeâand Iâm here to support you every step of the way.
Danaye
US Coach
Hey, Iâm Danaye â and for a long time, I felt stuck in the âbeforeâ part of my story. But that all changed in 2023. On April 27th I took the leap and had a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. My highest weight was 317 pounds, I had surgery at 240, and today Iâm holding strong at 149. Safe to say, Iâve never felt more empowered.
Shortly after surgery, I decided to try something completely out of my comfort zoneârunning. I hit the pavement for the first time in March 2023, and havenât looked back. Since then, Iâve completed several marathons and it turns out, runningâs kind of my thing now! Who knew?!
Outside of my own journey, I work as an EMT-IV Tech, but Iâve found a new passion in helping others chase down their goalsâwhether thatâs losing weight, getting active, or just believing they can. If you think running isnât for you, I promise: if I can do it, so can you. Letâs get after it together.
Nicole
US Coach
Hi, Iâm Nicole. My journey began at 317 pounds, but the real wake-up call came after some tough moments in both my personal and professional life. Working in hospice, I see the fragility of life every day. Then, after losing a loved one, I tried applying for life insuranceâonly to be denied because of my weight! That moment shocked me. I realized how serious my health risks were and how my choices could impact my future and the future of my kids.
It was then that I finally recognized what I was dealing with: a food addiction. Finding this community opened my eyes and helped me feel truly understood for the first time. I wasnât aloneâand that changed everything.
Now, Iâm proud to be on the other side of that struggle. Iâm here to support others in recognizing their own value, breaking out of harmful cycles, and stepping into the life they truly deserve.

I have yet to find a more qualified person (team) to lead me on my bariatric journey. The Rewrite is exactly what I was missing. This team is so incredibly knowledgeable and has my best interest at heart. Shenelle and her team are a no holds barred group and tell it like it is. For anyone struggling with food addiction, weight loss, or bariatric issues, I highly recommend you check these guys out. You won't be disappointed.
Bill Brown
Shenelle and team speak plainly and don't pull any punches about what really goes into loosing weight either with or without bariatric surgery. More importantly, they deep dive into what's happening in your body mentally and physically. They back it up with science, and more importantly to me, they speak on it from first hand experience. They know because they live it everyday... all in the name of changing our lives for the better and then keeping our lives that way. Is it expensive??? What's your budget for your health??? I promise this program will ultimately save you money and very potentially save your sanity, your relationships, and your life.
Darla meister
I love being in the november group for the rewrite experiment ! iâve learned so much and the attention to detail as well as getting the food logs looked at daily has really lit a fire under my ass to do better!
Customer
I have been working with Shenelle and her team for about a week and she is the real deal! By cutting out ultra processed protein snacks and artificial sweeteners I am down 5 pounds! She definitely knows what she is talking about so if you put your trust in her and follow the program, it will work!
Marion Oakes
Down to earth no bull coaching. Exactly what I needed . Coaches have all had weight loss surgery so they have first hand knowledge and experience. Would highly recommend the Bariatric Rewrite to anyone struggling before or after weight loss surgery.
Amanda
This is a great group no matter where you are at in the process. It helps hold you accountable. The information they provide is useful that can be applied to your day to day life. Highly recommend.
Customer
Shenelle and the team are so encouraging!!! No matter where you are at in your journey they are there to encourage and support you through it!! So grateful they are with me on my journey!!
Cori Brennan
Best program available. The high level of educational information and the ongoing support gets the best results! I have had the most meaningful changes and success due to this fantastic program and the community who support the journey in a positive way. I canât express my gratitude to the group and Shenelle.
Melesa
Living it real life! The most knowledgeable and supportive group always there with input and positive reinforcement for those who need it.
Craig Sweetnam
I have done many workshops in my 50 years. The money spent on the Bariatric Rewrite has been the best value for money. I have been in a monthly group class which was a great course. The academy and artificial sweetener programs were also great resources. My biggest issue is there is so much value I have not been able to take advantage of it all. I am not only loosing a lot of weight I am realizing why I have been on a vicious cycle of gain loose all my life. I believe I now have the tools and knowledge about how to get off the weight loss roller coaster.
Kathleen Sloan
The Bariatric rewrite is community of bariatric patients in various stages of surgical weightloss journeys. This is extremely helpful for those of us who feel abandoned by our weight loss surgeons who don't provide much post surgical care.
Shenelle is a great coach who is experienced in the ups and downs of the bariatric journey. With her guidance and support I have lost my regained weight and am maintaining it.
Tabetha Arellano
Shenelle keeps it real â¤ď¸ Shenelle has been a amazing help in this last part of my journey. The stubborn 10 to 15 pound yo yo game has exhausted me and when I saw her on tik tok and Facebook I reached out and she made so much sense in what she was saying I thought I didn't have anything to lose. So my husband approved me trying her program and after a week of detox of the protein BS I lost 3 pounds doing nothing but the same walks with our dog I have been doing for the past 2 years. Shenelle rocks and is honest and makes this easy almost to easy to be real. Love her and what she does ⥠thank you ladies
Carrie Poulos
Best Decision I Ever Made.I had weight loss surgery on 3/21/24. After the surgery I felt lost and didnât feel supported by my weight loss clinic. I was searching for support and found it in Bariatric Rewrite. The best decision I ever made. It was fantastic to be surrounded by people who understand and relate. I all the sudden had support 24/7. I joined July 1st and am currently down just shy of 40 pounds in 3 months. I am less than 8 pounds from my first goal I set with Shenelle. If you are thinking about bariatric surgery, had surgery and need guidance, I would recommend joining. Surgery is a tool! You need the support for life!
Misty Frick
I cannot recommend Shenelle and the Bariatric Rewrite highly enough. She has been instrumental in my journey to better health and self-awareness. With Shenelles expert guidance, and unwavering support, I have come to understand my food addiction on a much deeper level. Shenelle has helped me uncover the reasons behind my eating habits and has provided me with the tools and strategies to make lasting changes. Thanks to her support, I am now making healthier choices and have a much better relationship with food. If you're looking for a bariatric coach who truly cares and can help you transform your life, look no further. Thank you for helping me get my life back!!
Shauwan
Life altering. I had a revision in November and had come to a complete standstill by April. I found Shenelle through Facebook and started the group program and the academy. The group program offered one on on coaching, small group interaction/instruction and food log reviews. The academy offers sessions weekly, a community of supporters and an abundant variety of resources. I have lost 23 pounds since joining! I wish I would have known about this sooner!
Danaye Henken
A lovingly cultivated community full of like minded people, wading our way through the hard part before, during or after surgery. All the support you could ever want! Iâm a 1:1 client with Shenelle, the amount of time dedicated to me is incredible. Iâve lost 30lbs in the 2 months Iâve been here and learned a lifetimes worth of knowledge. Eating better, feeling even better and CRUSHING my goals!!
Mindy
Always what I need! I have worked with Shenelle on and off for the past year or two. I joined the four month Post-op April group to get myself back on track as I noticed my weight creeping up and bad habits going away. I always find the group support and all of the things we review with Shenelle to be incredibly helpful and back to the motivation I need!!!
Jessica Newcomb
Joining the Bariatric Rewriteâs 4 month program has changed my life. I am 5 years post op from the sleeve, and when I had my surgery the education and support just wasnât there. I found Shenelle back in March and joined the 4 month program. Since then I have learned all about myself, food addiction, and the right way to eat. I have lost over 15 pounds so far and Iâm not even half way done with the program. The ladies in my group are amazing and I have more support than I could ever imagined. I highly recommend to anyone needing that push to get to there goal or just needing to maintain.
Elizabeth Parada
Life after Bariatric surgery- Essential support for living post surgery! Shenelle guided me through the necessary behavior changes I needed I. Order to see success after my surgery. My sleeve didnât create the restrictions that many others feel so I had to figure out how to address my compulsive eating and the most effective approach to a new lifestyle. Shenelle is not only a source of inspiration but has a wealth of knowledge and experience! Without her I am certain I would be joining the many people whose Bariatric journey ends in failure. I am so grateful to have found her and I highly recommend all her programs!
Sarah G
Shenelle has been my inspiration and support this whole journey! I would be lost without her. The knowledge I have gained regarding how to eat is priceless. I hope everyone that has bariatric surgery can find Shenelle.
Amy
I have had the most positive experience with Shenelle and the rewrite academy. Iâve learned so much more from this program in just a few weeks than I have through my nutritionist and surgery team! If your looking for direction and community - THIS IS THE PLACE!!
Stacey V
I felt so lost. As someone who has struggled with weight and food addiction all my life, it's so easy to fall into the rabbit hole of fad diets and internet misinformation. This can't be even more true for the bariatric community... I joined her Bariatric Rewrite Acadamy last month, approx 2 weeks before I was scheduled to have my surgery and the support I had access to was so informative. The community she had culminated varies from many stages, pre-op to many years post op. She tackles food addiction, and regain after surgery... Shenelle and the Bariatric Rewrite Acadamy is the place for you. With weekly support calls, 24/7 chat for the community for support and questions, food log reviews and one on one coaching opportunities with Shenelle. You will not be disappointed!
Amanda Caldwell
Lifelong Success Story. In December 2023, I signed up with Shenelle to be apart of her Bariatric Rewrite Academy, and I learned information to really set me on a good path of healthy living. It's now April 2024 and I've decided to take the plunge and join the 'F This Food Addiction' 4 month course! Getting 1:1 VIP access to Shenelle and Seda full time is a true life changer including full acces to all of Bariatric Rewrite groups... 𤯠knowledge overload! Surgery is May 22, 2024... with Bariatric Rewrite in my corner, I know my Surgery and Future will be a complete success story for the rest of my life. đ
Melanie Natal-Lewis
Remember this: Shenelle is absolutely fabulous! Shenelle is genuinely unique! I found the honesty and straightforward approach I sought in a coach. I became a member before my surgery in December of 2023. Even at 71 years old, I am successfully shedding weight. Her coaching method focuses on transforming your relationship with food and how you perceive yourself. The Zoom sessions are fantastic, and the group support is consistently there for you.
Susan
The post op group is the best idea. Chenelle and Seda teach, guide and support us without judging us. They bring us specialists in bariatric surgery and food addiction to help us. They are always available to answer any questions we might have. I am so thankful I found this group!!
Crystal
I love all the support we get from the peer support Monday meetings we all get to participate and chat. This has helped my weight loss journey. Thank you for the rewrite program.
Lindsey Bull
Hands down the most amazing experience ever!!! Worth every penny.
Mary B
Bariatric Rewrite is legit! The team at BR has walked my journey, with me. Coached me to becoming a better person, a healthier version of me. The coaches at Bariatric Rewrite have held space for me, when I have felt abandoned by the Bariatric medical community. I am forever grateful to Bariatric Rewrite.
Destinie Reagan
I have been in the rewrite Academy and it has Made a very In pack in my life. Teaching me what to eat what to look for . Also, it has brought me close to amazing women. These ladies, now that are running it are there for us.Â
Sarah R.
This community has been so supportive and welcoming for me and along with so many others who have joined. I am also in ASE (artificial sugar exit) and I donât hear the food noise anymore. I have more confidence than I did prior to joining this group. I love how I can go to Shenelle or Seda and they will find the answer! The love and support of this community is so strong and we all help each other through that process.
Mary Bolen Doyle
I have been enrolled in the Bariatric Rewrite Academy since November and I just can't say enough good things about it! I never thought I would be able to lose the weight that I have regained but I am down at least 25lbs thanks to this program and Shenelle and Seda. I was part of a 3mo post op group starting in November and things have continued to grow and get better since then. Now we have yoga classes and fantastic speakers like Vera Tarman (author of Food Junkies) in addition to nutrition lessons on our zoom meetings which are 3 times a week. We also have times set aside for food log reviews and get help learning how to log our food I wish I had been a part of this program sooner and am so thankful for Shenelle and Seda and our entire program!
Blake T.
I've been working with Shenelle since November of 2023. I had my surgery in Mexico so I don't have a team here to guide me through. I was addicted to sugar then artificial sweeteners. We did a metabolic reset/ASE (artificial sweetener exit) I'm mid way through week 4 and I am completely off artificial sweeteners and I have adopted a healthy whole food, plan based diet that I wouldn't have started if I didn't have this group. I just keep learning more and more and I also have amazing support.
Ashley Makley
She is the absolute best! When I got RNY 6 weeks ago I was confident af going into the procedure. However, quickly after I found out that there was very little post-op support. I literally felt like I was just winging the diet thing and hoping for the best. I came across Shenelle on a live tiktok and scheduled an intro call with her an hour later and I am so thankful I did! It was like talking to an old friend that I havenât chatted with in awhile... Best money Iâve spent on anything RNY related. I ended up joining her support group and these ladies are so supportive. Itâs so nice to not feel alone in my journey anymore!
Victoria Williams
Bariatric rewrites is exactly what I needed. Shenelle me realize that I needed to change my relationship with food. She gives great guidance, sheâs not judging, and sheâs been in this situation herself. But if you start slipping sheâs going to call you out and give you a reality check.
Brittney Becker
I just started with Shenelle and she has been awesome so far! It is so nice having someone guide you and help you make the right decisions. She is very knowledgeable and it definitely helps that she has gone through WLS as well. She's always available to answer questions and has a very open and honest conversation with you. I am incredibly scared of failing (like every other time I've lost weight in the past) so it is really nice having someone to lean on throughout (what I know) is going to be a hard journey. She has also been great at giving suggestions to a picky eater! I definitely did not feel judged and left feeling like I've got this!
Claudia Elena
Shenelle has been amazing so far! I love her energy and she really knows how to bring out the best in people. I am 5wks PO Bariatric surgery and I am glad that I am working on my food addiction now rather than later. It helps to have someone on your side who has lived it as well. I would totally recommend her to anyone struggling with food.
