This not only manifested itself in my weight but over the years, it slowly bled into other areas of my life. I was stressed out, emotionally unstable, not sleeping well, lacked energy, my blood pressure was becoming alarmingly elevated and the more I tried to regain control, the more I spun out of control….and the “great” thing was, I figured out how to hide my struggles from everyone so nobody would see that I was falling apart inside. As much as the saying goes, knowledge is power, activating that power in my life was another story. I knew there was a missing component but I could not put my finger on it.

 

 

 

 

With Danielle’s guidance and support I found that missing piece. In 90 days, I lost nearly 20 lbs. My BMI is now normal (first time in over 15 years). My blood pressure is normal. I’m sleeping like a baby. I’ve developed new coping skills to deal with stress. I feel strong and confident. Most importantly, i realized how important I am to me. The keys that were missing to unlock the door of self-neglect was suddenly placed in my possession and as Danielle walked me through that door, a shift in my thinking occurred. Danielle provided me with the tools I need to be successful not just with my weight but with every new challenge that comes my way. I understand that this is just the beginning and I am confident that as I continue to use these tools, I will continue to make choices that will nourish my body, heart and soul.

Danielle is absolutely gifted as a health coach and there is no way I could have done this without her. She has given me the best gift I could ever have asked for…and I did not even expect it! Honestly, I did not know what I was getting into when I began this journey…but it has undoubtedly been one of the best things that ever happened to me. Each day I wake up with a new sense of passion and gratitude for life. Priceless.

During my work with Danielle I discovered the “whys” behind my wellness goals and with Danielle’s help used those to fuel my determination to stay accountable for the goals I had set for myself. We also discovered some of the emotional reasons behind my self-sabotaging behavior that was setting back my progress. Danielle equipped me with the tools to overcome those emotional setbacks. I would look forward to my weekly sessions with Danielle. She is a great mentor who is authentic, motivating, and caring. She was a great partner in my health and wellness journey.

 

 

 

After working with Danielle my outlook on my health has been reinvented. I now see eating food that nurtures my body and exercising as things I get to do; not have to do. When I started to view health and wellness as an act of self-love instead of a chore I began to flourish. While working with Danielle I lost 10 pounds, dropped a pant size, curbed my dependence on sugary foods, and most importantly I discovered my potential and drive to continue on this life long journey of health and wellness.
