Lisa gave me a lot of concrete things to think about instead of thinking about everything I put into my mouth. We coached through the thoughts I was having when I ate and how I felt about it. I did exercises about how I felt getting on the scale. She helped me to relax and count on myself. I actually did lose weight….15 lbs. I still would like to loose 5 more, but I do not feel any stress about it.

Before, I was so obsessed with the my actions in trying to lose weight that it had taken over my life. The biggest thing that has changed for me is learning to identify my thoughts and feelings about food, weight, and my body. I was able to stop feeling so much stress about eating out, feeding groups of people and enjoying life. I feel like I got my power back.

For the first time in several years, I’m seeing real weight loss! I had been waffling between the same 5 pounds for what felt like forever, even though I said I was “trying” to lose weight that entire time.

Most recently, I had tried several forms of nutrition therapy, but there was always something I didn’t really connect with under each plan. Lisa, however, approaches her work with a common-sense, real world perspective, and her lessons aligned with other wellness concepts I was already studying, like mindfulness and how to step out of habit loops that aren’t serving you.

Every time I thought I might have a particular issue that would stump her or that would make her give up on me because she I just didn’t seem to be implementing her first suggestion, she would bring me back around to another technique to try.

My top three goals upon starting the program were:

Lose weight, climb hills in Italy, eat sweets moderately.

Lisa helped me by listening to me and reflecting back the truth of what I could not see.

She is knowledgeable, caring, and interested in my progress.  Lisa is willing to share her own life challenges and be vulnerable helping me to be more open and to see my concerns more clearly.

I would recommend her to people seeking insight and wanting to grow beyond what they can do on their own.

After 5 months of working with Lisa on healthy eating habits, I have reached my goal weight and inches from my waist line.  But it is the self-confidence and transformation in thoughts that is the true success story.  While I have tried numerous diets in the past and rigorous exercise plans, I could not lose the belly weight from pregnancy. 

The coaching from Lisa not only helped me reach my weight goals but has impacted my life in so many other ways.  Her knowledge and expertise in healthy eating but also the psychology behind overeating helped me gain self-confidence and a positive body image.  This is not a fad diet program, but a truly transformative program.  

Lisa is caring, encouraging, and empowering.  She empowered me to strengthen my commitment to my goals and helped me grow as a whole person.  I cannot thank Lisa enough for helping me transform to a more confident wife, mother, friend, sister….woman.

Lisa was able to help me work toward my goals by taking time to teach new skills, each week we built on the last week. It was helpful to not just try and change everything on week 1. I would get to the point every week where I wanted more. She was very supportive without making success only equal weight loss each week. That helped a lot. She was also willing to tackle real life situations and not just talk in theories – she was willing to get down to the hard situations with real take-aways! She was also so good about helping me see it wasn’t just food but how I thought about food (from the past and present). 

I have noticed since beginning the program has been feeling in control, being able to listen to my body and having a plan that is do-able for the rest of my life. 

And having lost close to 14 pounds!

Lisa’s holistic approach helped me tackle my goals in two ways: there’s the long game of learning to make healthy choices on a daily basis and understanding what leads me to make (or not make) those choices that, over time, can lead to better health and weight loss; and there’s the immediate kickstsart that Lisa provides with meal and/or exercise plans so that I could feel empowered and informed from the get-go.

Before my time with Lisa I let exhaustion and stress make my health decisions for me. Now I can see those things for what they are and, because of the coaching, I truly feel empowered to step back from those feelings and decide to make healthier choices.

My perspective on food is changing in a much healthier way. It is not the way to reward me, comfort me, or entertain me, food is to nourish me and my body. While special foods are often connected to events, I can plan that into my eating plan and still stay focused on my goals.

I am also okay knowing that this is a slow process. My weight isn’t falling off like in a fad diet, but I am making healthy, natural changes that are starting to show and will pay off in the long run.

Lisa is very caring and a great listener as well as trouble shooter. She is knowledgeable not only in knowing what to eat and how to get fit working out but also in how to get there mentally which for me is the most challenging part.

“Lisa is amazing, empowering and understanding! She is dedicated to making people understand nutrition and wanting health for life.”

Lisa was instrumental in helping me achieve my health goals. Her knowledge and expertise in this area were apparent throughout our counseling sessions. I was able to lower my body fat percentage and gain lean muscle. She helped me understand the importance of fueling my body with the right types and amounts of food to help me accomplish my goals. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking to start a healthy lifestyle.
