And the results...

...one of the best decisions of my life.
Having Janna as my coach has literally changed my life.   When I first met Janna, I knew that I was ready for a change in my life, but I had no idea how to go about getting that change.  I was constantly feeling tired and run-down, and struggled with digestive issues and constant sugar cravings.   I was also stressed and over-whelmed, especially regarding what foods I should eat.  I tended to focus on what I didn’t have in my life, and was constantly struggling with my weight.

Janna said to trust her and I did, and amazingly, the change came.  She’s been there to support me every step of the way, and it’s been such an amazing journey.  Janna is kind, is a wonderful listener, and most importantly, will never judge you for the things you say or feel.  I love our sessions together and they are always one of the highlights of my week.  [Working with Janna] I can honestly say that it’s been one of the best decisions of my life.  She’s helped me to bring gratitude, joy, and awareness into my life and to release the constant struggle that was there before.   She’s also helped me find the best foods that work for ME and my body and not some 'one-diet fits all' fad.  If you’re like me, and ready for real, true change in your life, and just don’t know how to take that first step, talk to Janna, and she’ll help you figure it out.

I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to work with Janna.  We have worked on several different areas of my life from diet and health to relationships and aspirations.  In every area I have been wowed by my experience.  One example would be trying to face my stage fright.  Through a series of questions, Janna pinpointed my thoughts and led me to answers I didn't even know were there.  She has also facilitated a visualization that allowed me to step into a stronger, calmer, and more confident me, an exercise which has stayed with me.  I have been challenged in life, and at times feeling frustrated and quite stuck, and Janna was able to see things clearly and pull it all together in ways I never could have.  She gives me tools and clear ideas to take along with me everyday.  If you are on the fence about working with Janna, don't be ... your life will be forever changed by doing so.

...an increased confidence in who I am...
[Janna] has a fantastic way of empowering you to "just do it!" and breaks it all down into doable steps that make sense for each individual lifestyles. You can only gain from meeting with Janna - even if you think you already have the tools to live a healthy lifestyle, Janna will strengthen them and give you even more options to pursue.  What she really helped me with are my mental habits, I have an increased confidence in who I am and what I need to be happy as well as more enthusiasm for life and simply feeling better.

...insightful, compassionate, and sincere.
I was frustrated and confused by the conflicting info concerning weight loss and nutrition.  I was also ashamed of my weight after trying multiple diets.  [With Janna] I have learned how to simplify my meal planning while simultaneously maximizing the nutritional value of food.  I feel excited about reaping the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.  I have learned the difference between dieting out of shame and panic versus treating my body with respect.
 
Janna loves people and expresses genuine joy as she helps others improve their quality of life.  She has an in-depth knowledge about nutrition and enthusiastically shares that knowledge.  She is insightful, compassionate, and sincere.

I didn't feel like I was on a 'diet'...
Janna takes all the confusion out of the massive amount of diet advice that is out there today.  She studies it all, organizes the information and then presents it in a usable manner.

I did not want to lose weight by eating smaller portions of my current diet. Working with Janna is all about eating what is healthy for you.  I found that I lost weight naturally, without being hungry.  I didn't feel like I was on a 'diet' which I have to say was a very pleasant surprise.

...a very gifted coach.
I wasn’t sure exactly what I planned to concentrate on with Janna, I only knew that I had become stressed and was not living up to my ideal of happiness and productivity—my life had stopped feeling vital to me.

With each session Janna would bring me back to gaining purpose.  She blew me away with her surprisingly astute and intuitive nailing of my situation each time that we talked.  I can’t pinpoint exactly how or when it started to come together, but somewhere along the way I began to take my work, health, and self much more seriously—Janna was completely instrumental in opening me to a self-valuing that had simply not been accessible to me for years. 

I’ve tapped resources within that had sat latent for most of my life, the result of which is that former worries have become opportunities, and what had been chronic stress and excuses no longer fit in the same way.  I will be FOREVER grateful for my time working with Janna, and cannot recommend her specialized, personalized work highly enough — she is a very gifted coach.

...new path to wellness...
To Janna, with thanks….

There is an element of shame in admitting that I was an adult who didn’t know how to feed myself.  I was eating, but I was ignoring the signals the food was giving my body (exhaustion, runny eyes, and acid reflux) - cues that I ignored or endured for years. 

My nutritional challenge is unique in that I’m allergic to 24 of the most common foods.  I was having a difficult time putting together meals that were delicious, interesting, nutritional and non-allergenic.  Janna helped me understand the cause and effect connection between body/spirit/mind and diet.  Her holistic approach is a beautiful blend of knowledge, enthusiasm and respect.  Each consultation offered new menu ideas, recipes, tips and exercises to help me tackle my nutritional deficiencies.  She also addressed the emotional root of my dietary choices.  I’ve shed twenty pounds in a steady and healthy manner.

Janna’s approach helped rid me of energy blockers that were affecting my business and personal space and as a result I’m finding that I’m much more organized, productive and self-confident.   

Janna’s gentle guidance on this new path to wellness has been invaluable and her words continue to inspire me to keep moving forward.

...realistic, balanced, non-dogmatic approach.
Janna designs her client’s program to meet the individual’s needs, not only around food, but in many areas of personal growth, issues related to life transitions and helping clients to optimize their physical, mental and spiritual health.  She is open, informed, and non-judgmental.

Janna is also skilled at facilitating whole food detoxes which is very effective at helping clients understand the effects that foods have on their bodies. 

I really appreciate Janna’s realistic, balanced, non-dogmatic approach. Her approach is expansive, not restrictive, which I believe makes it much easier and more enjoyable to incorporate all of the very healthy suggestions that she made.

One of the best investments I have ever made...
One of the best investments I have ever made and am so glad I invested in my health and wellness...it is more than an investment in yourself, it is an investment in your future, your happiness, your understanding of what helps you be what you need to be.  I have used athletic trainers without even thinking about it.  Janna is better than an athletic trainer for several reasons.  She helped me understand my daily diet and the balance of my life circle.  She offers more than you can imagine in recipes and healthy alternatives so that success is easy!  She is a wonderful wellness coach.  I wish I worked with her when I was younger.

...balance in one's life...
Janna is a terrific resource for healthy cooking and foods [; she] is knowledgeable about the effects of foods on moods, energy level, and outlook.  While Janna has all of this knowledge about food, she is ultimately concerned about the balance in one's life and works hard to understand where one is and how to help them achieve what they need to achieve in terms of wellness and healthy living.  I love her approach to wellness because it offers such a wonderful perspective on all the things that influence our day to day participation in activities and how we look at things.  She has a wonderful way in understanding who you are and what you need.  She offers so much in terms of helping one understand the root or basis of our habits without any judgment.  It really is amazing to me how insightful she is and so supportive in helping one work toward success.  I will keep working at it because the freedom it brings is so worth it!

I feel so well...
I thought I was eating well before I started with Janna's counseling.  Did I ever learn.  Changes I couldn't have conceived of making were easy with Janna's guidance.  Janna believes that 'food should taste good.'

I feel so well and it shows in the blood work.  I just received the best report I have seen in years—actually, I don't remember one this good.

...a better place.
I can't tell you how much you helped me through such a difficult part of my life.  I am definitely in a different emotional/mental place - a better place.  The difference now is that I don't feel depressed about myself or get down about it, I just pick up and start over.  That's pretty awesome!
