What my clients are saying . . .
“You were truly unbelievable, so good, we love you!”
-Jackie Sandler (Adam Sandler & family)
My Christmas gift this year was Kiki! As I enter into my late 40’s, my wife felt that we both needed a little coaching in the nutrition and wellness department. One of my biggest struggles is that my job requires a tremendous amount of traveling. I am on the road at least 3/5 days a week and sometimes it’s the entire week. I am often running from airports to meetings to entertaining large groups for big dinners. This lifestyle can get hard when you are trying to be healthy!
Kiki has been invaluable in helping me realize that no matter where I am - at an airport, hotel, or restaurant, there is always the opportunity to make good choices. Kiki helped me by creating workout programs I can do in my hotel room or at the hotel gym. These workouts require very little to no equipment and are excuse-proof! Kiki also helps me with how to entertain without falling into all the traps of being in a large group. She will go as far as going onto the restaurant website and suggesting the best meal choices or coming up with snack ideas that keep me from sabotaging as I jump from one meeting to the next.
She keeps things simple! I will say that since I have been working with Kiki, I find myself thinking before I order or buy something at the local Starbucks. I try to find food that is whole and not processed and has incorporated her workouts into my weekly routine. My energy level has been great and the stamina I need to get through all my traveling and late nights has improved greatly. I credit all of this to Kiki’s simple and effective strategies.
I highly recommend Kiki to anyone no matter their lifestyle.

My husband and I are in our late 40’s and for Christmas this year, I decided to give us both the gift of health, guidance, and hopefully a road map to a long and healthy life. I have known Kiki for years and followed her success as a wellness/health coach. I guess, to be honest, I never thought I needed a coach as I was already an active and moderately healthy person. Our family had already adopted some great habits and we weren’t a family living on processed foods and junk. Despite all of this, I woke up one morning with the epiphany that there is always more to learn and we are not above being told we could do better.
Calling Kiki was the best decision! She has helped my entire family adopt better habits and has educated us about how it’s often the small things that produce the greatest results. Everything from reading ingredients to the mantra “feeds your body food it recognizes”, Kiki has broken down the often overwhelming world of nutrition and wellness into basic and logical steps. She listened to our stories and helped customize plans that fit our needs/struggles and goals. Everything from ordering us vitamins to giving us meal plans for the week, she has already done the research and pulls together plans that have been tried and tested.
Having me track my meals in a food journal was something I had never done. She was able to show me how writing it all down can really reveal where I am falling short and where I can make some changes. I enjoy looking at where I began and how my food choices have gotten more balanced and have more purpose.
I would recommend Kiki to anyone looking to improve their life! Whether you are brand new to this wellness journey or are looking to tweak and improve upon an existing one, Kiki can help! She doesn’t offer cookie-cutter solutions but takes the time to listen and uses her wide breadth of knowledge to educate, advise and turn us in a healthier direction. Thank you, Kiki!! We are better because of you!

I have Kiki Walker to thank for the new and improved me! Kiki is all about educating you on foods and lifestyle choices! I’ll admit I don’t always make the right choices, but I now make choices with the understanding of how it’s going to affect me! Being in my 50s my version of dieting and exercise was just not enough. She’s opened my eyes to the right foods to eat. Her process is all about choices and helping you understand the way foods interact with each other and the way they interact with your body. With positive lifestyle changes, you’ll be on your way to a healthier you. It’s your journey, Kiki arms you with the tools for success. I am forever grateful!!

I called Kiki after I hit a new high weight (well not as high as when I was pregnant) after February break 2019. I could no longer ignore the fact that I could not exercise my way to weight loss. I had to change my relationship and understanding of food. Since then, I have lost 17 pounds. More importantly, I am happier and healthier and my kids have altered their choices of food as well. I needed an expert and I needed accountability; I needed Kiki!!
I had so many misconceptions about what was healthy. In my mind, it was “calories in, calories out”. But that didn’t work for me for many reasons and when I got hungry I went for the carbs which only made me hungrier. By understanding better how some foods work with others and how to navigate my way through the grocery store, I think I have forever given up some of my bad habits and replaced them with good ones. Thank you for telling me what I needed to hear Kiki!

I met Kiki in the gym in my community and heard she was a wellness coach. That intrigued me, and I thought my eating habits could use a “tune-up”. In fact, they really needed an overhaul, which I didn’t realize until I began to speak with Kiki through a series of sessions. I don’t have a weight problem, so we focused on eating nutrient-rich meals and being more active. I found the sessions extremely valuable. I will never be 100% perfect with my diet, but I think 80% with my new awareness is a great step in the right direction to a healthier lifestyle. Thank you, Kiki!

I really cannot say enough about my experience and how much Kiki has helped me develop a lifestyle and way of approaching my personal health and wellness goals. Before working with Kiki, I already had a good understanding of nutrition and the importance of self-care and wasn’t sure how my coaching with Kiki would evolve. After hearing numerous success stories from others who worked with Kiki, I decided to really focus on my personal health goals and work with a professional health coach. I’m so happy I chose Kiki! After my first few sessions, I experienced sustained motivation, felt MUCH less deprived, and became aware of the small changes that really add up to big changes

I sought the guidance of Kiki to help me and my family develop healthier habits. I was in a fitness rut and had developed bad eating habits over the past year+ and was concerned that my girls (ages 13 and 6) were adopting those same bad habits. Specifically, I needed a coach who could connect with my 13-year-old daughter, and make me more accountable – without making me feel guilty/bad. Kiki is warm, fun, and approachable. And as a mom of four herself, she is able to connect and relate effectively to my girls in a way that is not preachy or intimidating.
Her guidance and support have empowered my 13-year-old to be more mindful about her food choices and not feel bad about herself or be apologetic about it. Kiki also helped encourage her to try a new physical activity through “gentle nudging” -- it turns out she loves it!
Through our meetings, correspondence, and occasional cooking lessons, Kiki has helped my family gain a better understanding of how foods fuel our bodies and make us feel. She didn’t expect us to make radical changes in our lifestyles or give up foods we love (as I expected). Her approach is subtle. By arming us with information and a practical understanding of how foods affect our bodies, moods, and energy levels, we have naturally begun to take pause and adopt some of the routines and changes that she had described. She guides us and encourages us to make reasonable and practical changes to the way we think about food, shop for food, and prepare food. Thanks to Kiki we are making small changes and steps toward better habits.

Kiki Walker is simply amazing! She has presented several times with our firm over a healthy lunch. She is always engaging, knowledgeable, charismatic, and enthusiastic about her passion for whole health. Kiki’s presentations have been some of our most successful lunch and learn and are requested on a regular basis by our staff. Kiki has taught us the benefits of eating whole foods and provides tips and tricks to replace some items in our diet with healthier substitutes. Her recipes have also been a huge hit! Kiki is engaging with her audience and recognizes the connection between mental and physical health. Everyone here loves when she comes in and generates great conversations about our health and how to keep improving our quality of life through nutrition, mindfulness, and exercise. We already can’t wait for our next lunch and learn with Kiki in a few weeks!

“Although I have always been active, I have struggled with my relationship with food. As I approached a milestone birthday, I saw an article about Kiki Walker Wellness in the Marblehead Reporter. She was exactly what I was looking for, someone who had expertise in both nutrition and exercise. When Kiki came to my house for our first meeting I was nervous, but she instantly put me at ease with her kind, empathetic manner. After getting to know me and what I was looking for, Kiki presented several different plans to help get me started. We decided to work together for 3 months. We met in person once a week, but Kiki was there whenever I needed her by text, e-mail, or phone. She sent me e-mails several times a week with healthy, tasty recipes. I rarely cook but made the exception more than once to test out her easy-to-make meals. During our weekly meetings, Kiki shared her expert knowledge in food and nutrition and she designed work-outs based on what I needed. After our meetings, I was always glad I went, and I was motivated for the next week. Kiki’s support during the rough weeks was essential to my progress. Kiki has armed me with the knowledge to make smart choices about food and exercise, and I could not have made these changes in my life without her support and guidance. I would highly recommend Kiki Walker Wellness to anyone looking to take control of their lives using nutrition and exercise. She has forever changed my life for the better and I will be eternally grateful!

I cannot say enough about my experience in working with Kiki and the positive impact she has had on my entire family’s physical and mental health! I initially reached out to Kiki a few months ago with regards to improving the nutrition in my daughter’s diet which I hoped, in turn, would provide a boost to her immune system as she was getting sick quite a bit. Kiki immediately embraced the challenge and had some great and easy suggestions that every 13 years old would like and more importantly understand why we were in need of making these tweaks to her diet. Kiki is extremely knowledgeable about overall nutrition and is so great at educating both of us about ingredients that we need to either eliminate or add to our daily regimen. She is non-judgmental, really encouraging, and will work with you to achieve a realistic plan that works for you and your family. As a mom of four, she understands how demanding life can be and how challenging it is to take care of yourself let alone everyone else in the family. I started to work with Kiki to make some adjustments to my own diet after all the things that worked in the past no longer worked as I was getting older and my metabolism was changing. She educated me on a few small changes I should make and within just a few weeks, I felt better, I looked better and my husband even lost 20lbs without even trying!! I will continue to consult with Kiki as life evolves and changes and I know she will always be a valuable resource in my life. I am lucky to have found her and am very grateful for her knowledge, devotion, and new found friendship! I couldn’t recommend her enough, you won’t be sorry!

If it wasn’t for Kiki Walker I would not enjoy exercise, have the results I have accomplished in the last six months, and know that it will be part of my life for the rest of my life! As a 58 woman, it takes longer to get rid of old habits, lose weight and see results but not if you have Kiki, as your trainer, your coach, and your friend.
She exemplifies what she stands for – energy, strength, confidence, accountability, exercise, and proper nutrition, and it is all done with generous, loving, support. Without her, I would not be where I am today – tone, lean, and dedicated to exercise and clean, healthy living for the rest of my life. Wine and sweets every once in a while are part of my diet too.
Her spirit, enthusiasm, and loyalty to helping her clients get results to accomplish their goals, and change old habits are contagious. I am on the “Wellness” path for forever thanks to Kiki!!

A friend recommended Kiki, she’s the best! Her motivation for being a personal trainer is to share what she has learned in order to help others achieve their individual fitness objectives. Her encouragement, personalized training, and tailored advice have helped me get into shape. I have more definition, tone, and endurance – friends have noted the change. She continually challenges me and motivates me. If you are looking for a knowledgeable trainer, I highly recommend Kiki. Work with Kiki and turn working out into a fun, motivational, and fruitful experience!!!
