I recently completed a 3-month course of Wellness Coaching with Rachel Gargano. It turned out to be…read morea surprisingly incredible investment...in myself. It seemed like so much in my life was just wrong. I was feeling depressed, overweight and frustrated with myself for not being more accomplished in my life. Can you say low self-esteem? But part of my problem was not knowing what I wanted to accomplish. When I found Rachel, I went to her with the vague notion that I wanted something to change in my life. In fact, I wanted a lot of changes. Basically I set "improve my life" as a 3 month goal. I wanted to feel positive about myself, I wanted a sense of fulfillment. But Rachel didn't back away from my ambiguous needs. Methodically, week by week, she helped me identify the sources of my distress and set targeted mini-goals to work on tackling the issues I had. My personal experience started and ended with an emphasis on nutrition. I was overweight and unhappy. But with each appointment with Rachel, we uncovered a realm of issues that were unexpected and varied and entirely managed by Rachel's expertise! I was amazed that she had so much more to offer than nutritional advice. She dealt with my blues and my lack of motivation with calming advice and that list of weekly mini-goals that were doable, imminently helpful and always on track with my vision for the positive person that I wanted to become. Who knew that a gratitude exercise could make me appreciate my life? Rachel did. Daily, she had me write down 3 things that I was grateful for. This task turned out to be one of the most eye-opening for me. Try it! One thing that I registered every week was Rachel's non-judgmental attitude toward me and my problems! I never felt inhibited by what her reactions to my needs might be. From the beginning, I felt I could trust her and in turn I was able to honestly face my difficulties. It has been quite a journey and as of today I've lost 8 lbs and could not feel more positive about the direction of my life. I have optimism again but more importantly, I have tools in place not only to counteract negativity, but to actively work on positive change. An unexpected upshot to this whole experience has been my husband's involvement with "our" new way of life. He's lost 15 lbs and we plan our meals and exercise with a brand new sense of togetherness. I certainly didn't expect that. Rachel's Nutrition and Wellness coaching was so much more than I bargained for. It was a weekly boost that set me up for life.

I am sorry this is a long review but the work Jenn does is amazing and cannot fit into a small…read morereview! A little background on me: All during college I was extremely active and really did not have any issues with food. Unfortunately, after law school and a health issue that required me to take a break from working out, I found myself obsessed with what I ate. I dictated what went on my plate by what article I read or diet book I picked up (one week avocados were OK, the next they weren't). I found myself starting my professional career out of shape, tired, and generally down on myself. When I came across Jenn's website I realized it was time to change. Meeting with Jenn made me say out loud how I felt towards food and myself. It was shocking to see how over the past years I had deprived my body of what it needed, so much so that I avoided certain parts of the grocery store because I had labeled certain foods "off limits." Jenn worked with me to make me realize what really tells me what goes on my plate, and that is my body! With helpful handouts. websites, guides, and food samples Jenn has helped me work towards a healthy relationship with food and myself. We also worked on being self aware, realizing all the factors of my life that drive my stress and happiness. This has helped me move away from using food as a coping mechanism, whether it was binging or restricting due to stress. We continue to work on exciting ways to incorporate nutrient dense foods and new recipes into my lifestyle, learning the cues my body gives me when it needs more food or when it is truly full. I now find myself trying new recipes, eating to satisfaction, and having more energy. On days that I ignore what my body is trying to tell me I can find myself tired and constantly hungry but as I learn to listen to my body these days beome few and far between. I am now excited and energized about my new journey, including getting back to the active lifestyle I missed with a newfound energy. Thanks Jenn!

I have been working with Liz over the past year during an extremely difficult and transitional time…read morein my life. I felt completely overwhelmed, lost, scared, and static. I came to her feeling like a shell of myself, not knowing what to do. From the beginning of working with her, she immediately made me feel safe, heard, and at peace. At times, I felt like my issues were too much, too much for her to even take in, but that anxiety completely went away with her comfort and understanding. Through her healing using brain integration, I have not only been able to cope with the recent traumatic events in my life, but also navigate through major depression and helplessness. Additionally, her healing sessions have had positive physical effects on my body - I no longer suffer from acid reflux and stomach ulcers, which I have had for over 25 years. I am currently in menopause and my joint pain symptoms have improved, and my insomnia has decreased. There aren't words that can express how thankful I am for her healing and care. Also, I live on the West Coast of the United States, so we work remotely. Energy healing works! Liz is proof.

I whole heartedly and most enthusiastically recommend Liz Elia…read more She is one of those special people who are both so incredibly skilled and very kind. She is very intuitive, and really knows her stuff. She is incredibly gentle and also very strong and not afraid to give you her perspective. She is the kind of person who makes you feel understood and who lets you be yourself. She celebrates who I am and who others are, and has a knack for empowering you to be fully yourself. She has a clear, kind way of seeing things and often sees things that I might miss. And she can give you this wisdom in a way that is respectful of your dignity. She has a stillness and peace about her that is very healing. She's very genuine and real. Since I started working with her I have been feeling much better emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. Her presence is loving and calm. She is a true healer, and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone seeking healing and well being. So grateful to her. Rabbi Shifra Freewoman

I also had general weakness all over, which I attributed to getting older, but didn't think anyone could do anything about that.

Even my lifelong wonky left ankle is better! I don't want to say it's magic, but it sure feels that way. She's creative, tries all different kinds of moves, and yet gentle and nurturing, and the sessions are so relaxing. I'm amazed!

She's gotten me hooked on feeling good, going the extra mile (or rep) and making time for myself. I don't think I've ever done the same workout twice, and she'll help you kick your own a** on a weeknight (Come find out about Saturday mornings!). Her studio, her clients and the environment she's created are truly special and if you are on the fence about working out...I promise you won't be after finding success in her classes! She modifies all the work before you have a chance to wonder if you might need it and you'll always leave with a smile on your face-either because it's fun, or you've just kicked your tush in ways you didn't know you could. (The old cliche stands true here-If I can do it AND love it-so can you!!) #getlivelycrew

I've been working with Jan for over 3 months now and I NEVER imagined the mindset shift that I have…read morebeen able to accomplish around food, eating, habits, and my self-esteem. I've always struggled with my weight, and trying weight loss diet's like WW, calorie counting, etc. never worked. I would get really strict with myself, hate what I was doing, feel terrible when I failed and then indulge more in food. But Jan and Get Lively have completely changed the way I think about food, my body, and my habits. Her in-depth intake process, constant focus on her client, and ever-evolving and individualized approached helped me to examine my deeply ingrained feelings around food and start to work on creating a healthier mindset and lifestyle. Her system is not a get fit fast approach, its a calculated and individualized approach that helps you to look inward and find the root causes that are holding you back from where you want to be and then a tailored approach of how to improve! I cannot recommend her enough and I know my friend who recently started her program is loving her too!
