I am feeling much better these days, and I am thankful to Yolanda for that. Before working with her, I was tired all the time and did not have the energy to exercise. I was a workaholic and a big ball of nerves. What’s worse, I never realized that I was making myself sick. I just thought that I was getting older and my health was going downhill and there was nothing that I could do about it.

In just 1 month, I lost weight, gave up coffee, found a way to include exercise everyday in my daily life, and I learned how to eat in a way that makes me feel great physically and mentally. She taught me that having more fun in my life was just as important for my health as eating fruits and vegetables. I feel better and stronger now than I did 10 years ago.

Yolanda is wonderful! She made me see where I would stand in my way of making my dreams come true, and being true to myself.  I can now see things much clearer (or from a different place). Yolanda would hold me accountable to making my goals happen.  Her dedication and great listening skills with wise advice has been a support I am grateful for. Working with Yolanda has been life changing; I have learned to listen to myself.

When I first decided that I wanted to start taking better care of myself, I thought it was going to be torture. Yolanda taught me that healthy eating should not be painful and that I did not have to give up anything that I loved. But what I noticed is that more and more, I started to want different kinds of foods because I saw how much better I felt. 3 months ago, I never thought I would be where I am today. Thank you Yolanda for being such a great inspiration and support!

I have found my sessions with Yolanda informational, entertaining and valuable.  She directs you to better health through education and conversation making sure that the program fits with your lifestyle and tastes.  Yolanda provides information that truly impacts your lifestyle decisions -– not by following a diet -– but by making subtle, informed changes that positively impact your health.
 
Yolanda has a great manner, is very supportive and understanding.  You are never scolded, but always encouraged.  The sessions are reinforced by recipes, little favors that introduce new items to your life. I am very pleased that I have taken advantage of this opportunity to improve my health and lifestyle and continue to look forward to each session with Yolanda."
