Results Matter

Thank you!  You provided a terrific culinary class – it took the mystery out of how to adjust to a gluten-sensitive diet for me. Showing us how to substitute day-to-day ingredients simplified ‘how to go forward’ and made me realize many of the items we used in the GF recipes are already in my pantry.  I just needed the ideas on how to use them. The best part is I am now comfortable and confident enough to go GF shopping and produce outstanding tasty meals at home.

I had gastric bypass surgery a few years ago but I had fallen off my habits and regained a lot of weight. I needed someone to help me get back on track and do it in a healthy way.
 
Right at the beginning, Trish had me get clear on my “Why?” which I found helpful and motivating.  She was very encouraging and reiterated this on several occasions to help me keep going and stay focused on what was really important.
 
I learned a lot about my body and how it responds to food.  Trish always made time to answer my questions or encourage me.  I never felt like I didn’t have access to her expertise. She is very flexible and helps you figure out what works for you. 

The most important things I learned while working with her was that balance, sleep, energy, mindfulness and self-care are all components of good health and without those, you will never get to your goals.

Working with Trish has been a great experience. Initially I was worried about my ability to maintain a nutrition and lifestyle change, but from a grocery store visit to recipes to ongoing pep talks when I got overwhelmed and discouraged, Trish offered all of the support elements I needed to be successful.  Our family made permanent changes because of the great start we got with Trish.

We are a very busy executive couple, working long hours with lots of pressure. Trish presented several wellness seminars at our workplace for our whole team and from there – we knew we needed her help. Our goal was to feel better overall: have more energy, less stress, invest in our future health for ourselves and to keep up with our young children.  

At first, we were intimidated by the changes ahead, but after 30 days of eating much more thoughtfully and being supported along the way, we were hooked!  Trish is an excellent coach who encouraged and taught us to plan and achieve a realistic eating and living lifestyle that has become second nature.  

We highly recommend inviting Trish to your workplace and working individually with Trish especially if you are a busy, overwhelmed professional, juggling many responsibilities who feels you can’t make a change because you haven’t a clue where to start.  Because with Trish’s education and guidance you absolutely can!

I have seen many nutritionists over the years and Trish was the first that actually got it.  She brings such an optimistic approach to life and to making realistic changes. She uses ‘mistakes’ as an opportunity to learn rather than to reprimand.  Her approach gave me the confidence I need to make positive changes in my life – not only regarding healthy eating but also engaging in healthy relationships and how the two are connected.  This is more than a nutrition plan, it is a life plan.  Thank you, Trish – you are truly amazing!

Trish’s program is so easy and so effective. One thing for sure, it is in my life to stay.

Before I was frustrated and my relationship with food was very negative. I was always comparing myself to others and feeling like I was not able to lose weight. Now I feel empowered and so happy that I have finally come to terms with this very important part of my life. The battle is over and done with. Today, I eat right, exercise and thus take care of myself as I have never ever have in my life. The most valuable thing is that I have learned to LOVE myself and to ACCEPT myself for who I am. I feel strong and beautiful and this feeling has made me a person that I love.

The program also gave me so much energy from day 1. As an example, I am 61 and an avid power-walker. Recently over a 4 day period on 8 consecutive weeks, I walked the equivalent of 8 half marathons! Had I not changed the way I ate and lived according to this program, I never would have been able to accomplish this.

Thank you, Trish for being kind, generous and always encouraging!

I’d been having digestive trouble and beginning to resent my body but I was being stubborn about getting help. “I’ll eat what I want, when I want!” A trusted friend introduced me to Trish whose assessment of my concerns and my mental blocks about change was spot on.

She listened, was thoughtful and patient with me – ensuring I was ready to take the next recommended step on my journey to health before we proceeded. Her knowledge is extraordinary. She has answers for every question, great product recommendations and recipes for every need!

Today, I feel healthy, strong and in balance with my body. My time with Trish was worth every penny!

I have thrown money at my health in the past on gimmicks and diet stuff and this was a much better investment. I found it very rewarding for me to set aside one night as ‘my night’ and just focus on the course materials. I had never done anything like that before and I realized that if you make the time, it can happen.  And I love love love the Facebook community.

My daughter met with Trish after she was advised by her medical team to seek the advice of a nutritionist for a very serious chronic condition.  I was glad to be able to make the introduction as Trish had done many nutrition talks at my club.

When I spoke with my daughter and her husband (who came along to offer support) following the first meeting, they were full of praise for the knowledge and professionalism extended.  According to my daughter, Trish has a wonderful combination of knowledge, compassion, empathy, a willingness to help, and good humour in dealing with her clients. It’s given my daughter confidence to help deal with this odious disease.   She’s progressing and definitely feeling better. I’m very grateful.

Thanks so much for coming last night to speak at my yoga studio.  You were awesome and provided a wealth of information that my students really appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed.  I also learned a lot.   It’s delightful and encouraging for me to see how passionate you are about such an important topic.
