I've been doing personal training with Marlie for about 1+ year at ATP Fitness club in San Ramon. I…read morewas training with another trainer before and one day she showed us a more effective exercise to hit the glute area that we've been working on. After that, I asked if I can train with her in addition to the training I've been getting. Now I'm doing twice a week PT with her. She understands human body so well and how to effectively target specific areas. Everytime after workout, I am sore in those areas the next day and that proves the workout was effective. I highly recommend her as your personal training coach!

I've been training with Marlie Wile for about two years, and I've been extremely impressed with…read moreboth her expertise and the results I've achieved. She has helped me become stronger, fitter, and more confident in my workouts, but what has stood out most is her ability to adapt exercises to my individual needs. I came to her with persistent shoulder issue and advanced knee arthritis limiting my mobility and causing ongoing discomfort. Marlie took the time to understand the problems and incorporated specific exercises to strengthen and improve those areas. The difference has been remarkable--my pain has decreased significantly, and I have much better mobility and strength. Marlie is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in her clients. She pays close attention to technique and form while making sure every workout is challenging without being overwhelming. I especially appreciate how she listens to my feedback and adjusts the program based on how I'm feeling and what I'm trying to accomplish. I would highly recommend Marlie to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate trainer, particularly those who have physical limitations, prior injuries, or specific fitness goals. She has made a real difference in my fitness and overall well-being.

You will not regret signing up - it's worth every penny. I started the new year with a goal of…read morebeing kinder to my body and went looking for a nutritionist to help me get on a track that I could maintain forever. It was tempting to just do one of the many fad diets out there - whole30, keto, etc - but I wanted to treat this seriously in hopes that it would really stick (as opposed to just a month of doing something aggressively, then falling back into my old ways). After seeing Tammy, I lost the last 10 pounds of baby weight I had been carrying around, lowered my blood pressure, BMI and body fat, increased my hydration levels, and lost a full 1.5 inches in my waist. More importantly, her lessons really sunk in - I'm officially out of the program and am still carrying on strong. I've even converted my husband, dad, and step-mom too! Overall, the experience wasn't as tough as I thought it'd be. If you're genuinely wanting to make a change, this will work for you. One additional piece that helped me - when Tammy recommended supplements to go along with the program, I went to our nearby vitamin shop and ended up talking with the pharmacist who helped explain the supplements and give her thoughts as well. I found it super helpful to have multiple viewpoints. Thanks Tammy!

I was genuinely excited to start this program. After investing in countless coaches and courses, I…read morewas ready to finally put an end to all the second-guessing and commit to a plan tailored specifically for me. I enrolled in the self-paced program after doing my research and seeing overwhelmingly positive reviews. In hindsight, not meeting anyone on video beforehand and relying solely on text communication was a mistake on my part. After taking the initial quiz, I guessed my body type and was assigned a coach who shared that same type. I followed the program precisely for six weeks and saw no results after the first week. Only then did I learn I'd been placed in the wrong program for the wrong body type. I was reassigned to one of the founders, who reviewed my case and matched my correct type. Another 2-3 weeks went by with zero progress, even after overhauling my routines yet again. I even paid extra for their Tier 2 service, with no changes or signs of improvement. I did everything that was asked of me: 15,000 steps a day, consistent powerlifting, hydration, structure, and discipline, yet nothing changed. Instead, my lack of progress was attributed to mindset, quantum physics, and somatic blocks. I'm trained in trauma-informed care and have spent years doing deep somatic and therapeutic work. I fully understand the mind-body connection. But when a program cannot deliver results, shifting the responsibility back onto the client feels dismissive and unfair. Ultimately, it felt like the blame was placed on me when my coach no longer knew how to support my case which is exactly why I hired them in the first place. While I appreciate receiving a $750 refund for the Tier 2 upgrade, I am still left having spent $1,500 on a self-paced program that did not work for me. This is simply my experience. Be thoughtful, do your research, and I truly hope your results are better than mine.

Before working with them I used to question and try every diet, fad, and workout program. I was…read morebasically trying to piece meal my way through ALL the conflicting info out on the internet and Instagram, and was so frustrated with my lack of consistent progress, even though I used to work so hard to try to eat right and workout every day to try and make my body composition and strength goals. Now, I have full clarity and confidence to know what to eat, when, and how much eat and workout to accomplish my body and athletic goals- in any and every circumstance!!! I did all of this all while traveling the world. That peace of mind, confidence, and increased self love I now have for myself is freaking invaluable. And I credit all of that to me working with Green Door Life. I lost fat, gained muscle, toned and built my overall body, and even lost cellulite- I didn't even know that was freaking possible, since I've worked to lose my cellulite for the last 15 years!! And, I did all of this while traveling through 8 different countries and living nomadically full time. I've completed the 12 week nutrition group program and some 1:1 coaching, I'm not trying to overstate this in anyway - it has literally changed my life. This isn't a quick fix or some fad, their courses and coaching is revolutionary to your whole life moving forward. The coaching around food and nutrition is expansive not restrictive. They give you the fundamental deep knowledge and psychological support needed in order to make any situation, any country, and basically any restaurant or food navigable for your goals. What I love about their coaching style is they make you self sufficient and empowered. There is no ongoing sales cycle and unlike other coaching programs, they don't make you feel you need them to keep your gains. I have a completely different and loving relationship to my body, the way I view and eat food is informed and fun, and my daily behaviors and internal throughs are so different and aligned for who I am becoming more of each day, and who I want to be, than how I was when I started the program. I highly recommend working with Green Door Life through their different courses and coaching. I am going to do their upcoming Awaken your Cycles and Strength courses as well, because the amount of value and life changing outcomes I get from them and their courses is literally worth 10x the amount they are priced.

I recently completed a CGM Experience led by Michelle Dwyer, a brilliant health coach who uses…read moreContinuous Glucose Monitors to help participants understand how food affects their bodies. I joined out of curiosity, hoping to gain some clarity around my own energy levels. I absolutely gained that and MORE. Michelle is approachable, supportive, encouraging, and gifted at educating her clients. During the two-week session, each participant wears a CGM that gathers their personal data, and Michelle guides us through understanding what it all means. Watching my glucose levels respond to foods in real time is addictively fascinating, but having her explain why it's happening is what makes the experience truly beneficial. Michelle holds space with ease and compassion. She never labels anything as good or bad--even foods are simply described as nourishing or depleting--and she gently diffuses any self-criticism that arises, helping the whole group release judgement, and relax into curiosity instead. This group has definitely improved my relationship with food. I now understand so much more about which foods help me feel steady and which ones tend to spike and crash my energy--and deplete my pancreas. I'm more aware, and far more connected to how my body responds to foods and why. If you want to better understand your own energy patterns and understand how foods react in your body, this program is genuinely worth your time and money. It's budget-friendly, eye-opening, empowering, and honestly, worth repeating. Every round gives you new insights about your body, and those insights make a big difference!

Marisol is truly one of the most genuine, kind, caring, knowledgeable, and thoughtful health…read moreprofessionals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. What sets Marisol apart is how deeply she listens, how much she genuinely cares, and her ability to look beyond the obvious to help you understand what may really be going on. Her knowledge, compassion, and commitment to helping people feel their best are exceptional. The gut/brain axis is very real. She will help you better understand it and the importance it has on your life. If you've been struggling with health issues, haven't been able to find answers, or simply want someone who will take the time to truly listen and understand YOU, I cannot recommend Marisol enough. Meeting with her could be one of the best decisions you make for your future health and well-being. Five stars without hesitation.

For years I have dealt with skin rashes, bloating, digestive issues which no physician has been able to help me with, with Marisol guidance I saw improvement in 3 months. I will continue to check in with her as I work toward further improving my familial high cholesterol numbers and the impact of menopause. And did I mention that my clothes are fitting me again!!! Thank you Marisol.

I came to Tammy because I was having a hard time feeling satisfied after meals and felt overwhelmed…read moreat figuring out an actually healthy path forward to improving my eating habits post stressful life events (and not just listening to folk on Tik Tok). Over the course of our time together, Tammy helped me to shift the way I thought about food, promoting simple but effective steps to take after each phone call together. She listened to my concerns and prior frustrations from working with apps and coaches in the past and never once nudged any boundaries I set down. There was no such thing as a stupid question and Tammy made sure I had all the resources, answers, links, and videos I needed to be successful in forming better habits. I really appreciated that she worked with what was functional and accessible for me--on a budget, without a car, limited freezer space, etc. Instead of reminding me to scoop out my morning bagel like prior coaches have, Tammy asked each call what worked for me, what didn't, and what helped me to feel satisfied at each meal. Then we'd find one thing to improve--adding more color to each meal or adding a "sprinkle" like sunflower seeds or olive oil to help a meal reach its full nutritional potential. I also never felt like I was on my own in anything Tammy suggested I try. Gotta make my own broth this week to cook with? Here are great places to get bones, here is a recipe to do it, here are instructions for your instantpot, etc. Want to start incorporating more fish into my diet? Here are 3 brands for tinned fish, a local catch market for seasonal choices, and recipes. I was able to develop sustainable, long-lasting healthy habits by working with Tammy and I find myself continuing to grow with her guidance even though our sessions together are over. After absolutely refusing to put chia seeds in anything for our 15 weeks together, the other day I ate them willingly because I thought "Tammy said these are good for me and I haven't had them yet." This was the shift I was looking for and I'm so thankful for Tammy's warmth, knowledge, and support. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.

This was my experience with this business…read more First, ALL consultations are on-line. This was post-pandemic FYI ! She does NOT do in-person meetings. Second, you have to download an app to communicate with her Third, be prepared to spend ALOT of time taking pictures of the food you eat Fourth, She is expensive ($1500!) . Has an air-tight policy for getting paid monthly. So don't even think about skipping or changing payment terms. (Please note that I am not saying businesses shouldn't be paid and have clear policies, but tere was something about the focus which was "unsettling" to me.) Fifth, A lot of her advice was also referenced in the book she wrotereplicated (which comes with the $1500 when you sign-up with her!). After I got the book and read it, I then wondered why was I paying $1,500 ? I think you have to sign a contract. SO BE THOUGHTFUL BEFORE SIGNING IT !!!!!! Overall I was uninspired and never warmed to her or the process. In the end, I recommend that anyone selecting this type of service be fully committed. And if any of the points I have raised, resonant with you - think whether the benefits outweigh the price tag for them. BTW: Her book is great. Hence the three stars as it encapulates a lot of solid information.

I worked with my therapist Jessica Daniel for almost 3 years via The Connective. I am deeply…read moreappreciative of the work that I was able to do with Jessica over this time, and I believe it has helped me immeasurably to get to a positive place in my life today. Jessica's style was perfect for me. Her attentive listener, thoughtful and knowledgeable feedback, insightful suggestions and sharing of resources, and her gentle but focused encouragement, all contributed to my progress as I climbed out of a deep hole which had previously seemed inescapable. I have a revitalized passion for life and I owe much of it to the work I did with Jessica., who always kept my long term goals in mind and took every effort to provide a warm space to work in. I am so thankful for Jessica's approach, the space and support provided, and her holistic sense of what I needed in a given session. The knowledge and habits I have developed as a result of Jessica's care and support have made a huge difference in my life. Coming to the Connective was a wonderful development for me and I am forever appreciative of my time with Jessica. I feel ready to continue my journey and excited to continue my progress with the insights I have gleaned about myself, my relationships with others, and my outlook on life. As insurance did not cover our sessions, I paid totally out of pocket. That is the only reason why I am withdrawing from therapy; the sessions were worth the price, but my financial realities mean I need to take a break from The Connective. The fact that I stayed with the Connective for so long evidences that I found the experience truly helpful and rewarding. I would not hesitate to recommend this organization in general and Jessica in particular. Thank you!

Elijah is amazing. Every time I express an anxiety or doubt, she gets curious and helps me…read moreunderstand the core of what I am struggling with. She does not view health coaching as diet coaching alone, but rather life coaching. Whether she is talking to someone who overeats due to depression or someone who has a very specific health condition, she takes a deep investment in the individual's success. She does this by listening and critically thinking about the person's situation. If she is not sure of an answer, she says she is unsure, does the research and responds right away. I lived with Elijah for three months and continued to be in awe by the passion and genuine commitment she brings into her program. Also, when taking her program, if I ever did not eat the way I wanted to, she responded in an incredibly empathetic and future focused way, bringing me back on track instead of me dwelling on the mistake. I recommend her programs for anyone who wants to be more in touch with their body, learn incredible truths about the toxins in our every day life and how to get rid of them and people who want to learn life long recipes for foods that will make you feel great- all of this as well as getting to learn and be encouraged by an intuitive, knowledgeable coach throughout your journey as well as the facebook group of a community of folks trying for the same goal as you.
