about US
Trim Up is the longest running medical tourism provider in New Zealand. Started by Kirsten Leonard in 2012, we have more experience, more knowledge, and more global connections than anyone else.
And the best part? We do it because we care.
The Trim up story
Kirsten hit upon the idea for Trim Up after travelling to Mexico for her own bariatric surgery. She saw that the service and care she received was of an exceptionally high standard. Higher, even, than what she’d experienced at hospitals in New Zealand. But the burden of doing extensive research, organising it all and travelling alone was daunting to say the least.
Kirsten realised that if people like her could travel for their surgery as part of a group, it would be far less scary (and a lot more fun!). And she was right. Since starting Trim Up, Kirsten has taken more than 50 groups to Mexico and helped to transform the lives of more than 250 Kiwis and Australians.
Wanting to help people even further, she has expanded Trim Up’s services to include solo trips as well as other surgery options in other parts of the world, including Thailand, Turkey and India. Today, Kirsten and her team organise a huge range of international surgeries for people from all walks of life.
Her mission is to make it easy, affordable and stress-free for anyone to achieve their dreams.
“I’ve always loved travelling and with Trim Up I’ve combined my passions into my dream job, helping others realise their dreams at the same time. Trim Up is much more than a business to me. It’s my everything!”
