The KIO Partnership | Application Form

  • The KIO Partnership | Application Form

  • Thank you for your interest in the KIO Partnership.

    The KIO Partnership is limited to a maximum of 8 people at any one time. This is not a marketing figure — it reflects the genuine capacity for the level of personal access, direct WhatsApp contact, monthly group accountability sessions and bespoke work, including four in-person or virtual sessions each year, that every partner receives.

     Because of that limit, we take the application process seriously. This form is designed to help us understand whether the Partnership is genuinely the right fit for you — and whether you are the right fit for it. Both directions matter equally.

     Please answer every question honestly. Polished, performance-style answers are not what we are looking for. KIO was built on honesty over performance and the application needs to reflect that.

     There are no right or wrong answers. There are answers that tell us this is the right moment, and answers that tell us this is not.

     Your application will be reviewed personally by Mel Harris. All information is treated in strict confidence.

    Estimated completion time: 20 to 30 minutes.

  • KIO exists exclusively for people who have already achieved significant weight loss and want to protect it for life. This section helps us understand your starting point.

  • Q4.How did you achieve your weight loss?*

  • YOUR CURRENT CHALLENGES

    This section identifies what is actually difficult for you right now. Honest answers help Mel understand whether the Partnership can genuinely move the needle for you.
  • Q7. Which of the following do you recognise in yourself? We are not looking for a clean bill of health, we are looking for honesty. Select all that honestly apply*
  • Q8. Since losing weight, have you found yourself leaning more heavily on any other coping mechanisms or behaviours? Weight loss changes more than the body. For some people, previously food-based coping quietly shifts into other behaviours. This is a sensitive area and there are no right or wrong answers. We ask because understanding the full picture allows us to support you properly. Select all that apply, then use the space below to share anything you think is useful.*

  • ARE YOU AND THE KIO PARTNERSHIP A GOOD FIT?

    This section assesses whether the Partnership structure and level of commitment is genuinely right for you at this point in time.
  • Q14. he Partnership includes four bespoke sessions with Mel per year. Select which of the 4 sessions feels most relevant to where you are right now.*
  • Q16. The Partnership costs £1,250 per month or £14,000 annually. Is this investment sustainable for you for a minimum of 12 months without financial stress? Financial anxiety about the cost of the Partnership itself can undermine the work. We ask directly because both sides need clarity on this before committing. Select one:*

  • ALIGNMENT WITH THE KIO APPROACH

    KIO has a specific philosophy and way of working. This section ensures that philosophy is genuinely understood and aligned with — not just intellectually agreed with.

  • KIO does not offer quick fixes, miracle language or guaranteed outcomes, and is open about uncertainty. Results in maintenance work are always shaped by biology, individual history, the quality of engagement, and the real-world effort someone brings to the process.

  • Mel's approach is direct, and warts-and-all honest. She will tell you what you need to hear, not always what you want to hear, nor will she 'wrap you in cotton wool'. She will question assumptions and self talk patterns that she observes and whe will push back when something is hindering your progress. Always with empathy, and never with the intention of hurting or insulting.
