Transforming Lives Forever

Our Team

We are a team of experienced staff, who have all had bariatric surgery themselves.
We understand this journey!

Shape Up is an amalgamation of two reputable medical tourism companies -

Trim Up and Reshape NZ.

Kirsten

Director

Kirsten is based in Christchurch but with her passion for medical tourism you wont find her there much! She is often travelling the globe between Mexico, Thailand, Turkey or a well deserved vacation in any other country of the world.

Kirsten travelled abroad for her own weightloss surgery and embarked on her journey of making it more accessible for other people to do the same. She was born to travel but forced to work, and now is able to find the perfect balance -  work and travel!

Kylie

Director

Kylie is based in the sunny Nelson Tasman area, when she is not in the office in her role as a project support manager she can usually be found behind the hand of a guitar or camera!

Kylie has struggled with weight issues most of her life.  Battling PCOS and at her highest weight pulling back from things in life she used to really enjoy.  Since taking on her bariatric journey late in 2023, she has made dramatic changes to her health with weight loss of over 100kg.  She is passionate about making this surgery more obtainable for people.

Megan

Director

When Megan is not working in accounting, you will find her being a supportive wife, Mother to eight and Grandmother of five. She loves spending time with her family and friends, supporting and coaching sports, and travelling the globe.

After deteriorating health and a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometreosis and obesity, resulting in many unsustainable weight loss attempts, Megan decided to embark on her bariatric weight loss journey. Joining a tour group and heading to Mexico was one of her best decisions! Her passion now is supporting others on their journey.
