Monica hosted a gut health seminar in her home. We learned about fermented foods and she went…read morethrough 3-4 recipes together including kombucha, kefir, fermented kraut and veggies. Monica also provided a really nice e book for every participant and food to bring home. She is passionate and what's interesting is that she is a scientist by training (PhD) so the way she prepares her food is almost literally a science and love for natural food for gut health.

I've taken two of Monica's functional health workshops: anti-inflammatory cooking and fermented…read morefoods. Both workshops were amazingly well organized and well-prepared. Mónica is passionate about healthy eating and has so many answers. But most of all, her enthusiasm is contagious and she motivated me to be healthy in so many more areas of my life and in the meals I prepare for my family. I will look for more of her courses to keep up the inspiration.

Marci is hands down the best. She worked with me years ago to get me in shape for my wedding and I…read morewas in the best shape of my life. Unfortunately, with kids and a career, I fell off the wagon and stopped exercising regularly for a number of years. I developed chronic back pain that got so bad that even a small simple movement could trigger sudden pain. I also had a permanent crick in my neck and reduced mobility when I would try to turn my neck to the left side. I reconnected with Marci last year who tailored workouts that would increase strength and flexibility in my back. The thing I really like about Marci's workouts are that they are short and doable - I don't have to try and motivate myself to do a grinding one hour workout. But if I do Marci's workouts 4 times a week, I really see results in how I look and in my strength. Marci offers live group workouts, recorded sessions and one on one Zoom training. I do one personal session a week and then live or recorded sessions several other times, depending on my schedule. My back was so bad last summer; today,I have no pain. I don't event think my back any more and can do all the things I used to. I would highly recommend Marci to anyone with back pain (I am in my fifties) or who is looking for a doable, short routine that will get you toned.

I started Marci's "21-Day Freedom From Sugar" program 3 months ago. I was skeptical I could be…read morefree from my sugar cravings, and didn't think I would get enough to eat if I omitted starch from my meals. I loved the idea of living in freedom from my cravings, which to me had a spiritual component as well as a practical one. I went along, because Marci not only has impeccable training and experience, but she has a wisdom that comes from living through whatever she prescribes. It is three months later. I never went back to my previous ways of eating. I don't miss it. Now and then (like today!) I had a burger with fries, it is a special occasion. I have the occasional cupcake, or glass of rosé, but my body feels so amazing and I don't want or need to go back. I don't "diet," I don't miss any of these foods, and I don't need a scale to show me I have lost inches. I also work out with Marci once a week, and we have regular coaching sessions. I can tell you I have never felt healthier, and it is absolutely effortless. Marci believes in moderation in all things, even moderation, so I have an ounce of dark chocolate every day - Marci recommended the chocolate - and this once sugar-addicted sweet-toothed lady is happily living my life much healthier, fitter, and NO DIETING. Go Marci! Run don't walk, hire her now!

Karen Kelley is a wonderful dietician! If you work with her, and follow the program, you will…read moredefinitely see results. In the past, I went to the Burlingame location, and she coached me down 30 pounds!! It was life-changing. I just stopped in to see Karen in her new SF location for a maintenance visit. This beautiful location is a wonderful new extension of the Trimm-Way. Karen is so supportive and dedicated to what she does. She is always available for calls, text, or emails, in addition to your weekly visits. There's no gimmicks, pills, nasty frozen meals, or calorie counting with this program. Karen teaches you how to eat healthy and delicious foods without feeling deprived. If you want to drop your weight, go see Karen. She knows what she's doing!

It has been very worthwhile to check in with Karen to review my progress. Visits include weigh-in, reviewing my Daily Food Diary, motivating advice from Karen, and planning for the upcoming days' food intake. Every few weeks Karen takes my measurements and calculates the inches lost. In addition to menu planning, Karen offers products and bars that really help to burn fat. I'm starting to get "You've lost weight" comments, so it feels great to be free of those unwanted pounds . . .

Working with Elizabeth has really changed my perspective on what it means to eat healthy and…read moredelicious. Her meal plans take the guess work out of the entire process and make preparing and cooking healthy meals fun! What I loved most about the plans that she would come up with are that they were always designed and tailored specifically for me. She really took the time to listen to what I was looking for and built the plan around that. We have a lot of food allergies in our house - and this was no problem for her. A delicious dairy, gluten and egg free meal planner? No problem! One that uses fresh, local and in-season ingredients? Check! In addition to the meal planning, Elizabeth really takes the time to get to know her clients and truly educate on food and nutrition. I always enjoy the weekly meetings to update her on my progress and challenges. She understands how difficult it is to work a demanding office job and have the time to prepare wholesome meals. She designs the plans so that I can be most successful! Elizabeth is so passionate about healthy eating and living a healthy lifestyle and this passion flows down in every meeting I have with her. It's not about going on a diet. It's about building a sustainable (and delicious!) approach to food as fuel. If you are looking to jump start your nutrition goals, look no more!

I had hit a plateau while trying to lose the 70lbs of baby weight I gained with my high risk twin…read morepregnancy. Those last 25lbs just were not coming off. I was working out like crazy and nothing was happening. I got a plan from Elizabeth and within the first week I had lost 5lbs and it kept coming off from there. Elizabeth was easy to work with and I learned a ton about myself and what healthy eating really means. Her plan was totally custom for me and surprisingly easy to follow. I have always eaten relatively healthy but like most people couldn't never stick to a "diet". Her program was so much more than a fad diet, its a way of life. Working with her was a turning point in my life.

I've known Christina Williams for years, and her expertise as a life coach, bodybuilder, and…read morenutritionist has been invaluable. She's always there to answer any burning questions I have. After reading her amazing, easy-to-read book, "The 28 Day Runway," I was able to establish healthy habits, starting with drinking water every morning and incorporating a morning workout routine. I am forever thankful to have her in my life and highly recommend everyone to read her book and work with her as your coach!

From our very first session, Christina's warm, empathetic approach put me at ease. She listened…read moreintently, asked thoughtful questions, and quickly honed in on the core issues I was struggling with. One of the most valuable aspects of working with Christina has been her introduction to the wide array of resources she has researched and written (covering a range of topics from nutrition, fitness, mindfulness and overall wellbeing). She has a wealth of knowledge and leveraged this to cater to my specific needs. I would not be feeling (or looking) my best without her support and guidance over the years. There is no one out there offering this caliber and quality of coaching and I hope she continues to change people's lives for a long time to come.

I found Shanti on my own over 10 years ago, then was referred to her again years later by a…read morephysician. Both times, I hesitated because of the cost -- I told myself I was already paying for insurance, so why pay out of pocket for something extra? That decision cost me more than money. I've been dealing with serious health issues since 2018, and I didn't see real progress in my treatment until I finally integrated Shanti into my care team. After a few years working with her, I'm in the best health I can remember in years -- and honestly, the turnaround still shocks me. Shanti has been the cornerstone connecting the dots across a complicated health picture: major weight and puffiness fluctuations, food reactions and allergies, MCAS/histamine issues, mold, migraines, headaches, and joint pain -- all while juggling multiple doctors and endless investigative work. She's been there on the days I could barely move or eat, in real pain and down, and she's helped me build a fuller care team rather than trying to be everything herself. She got me OFF the endless cycle of adding supplements and protocols, and taught me to simplify and actually listen to my body. She's patient, she remembers every detail of my history so I never feel like a number, and she adapts to what's realistic for me rather than forcing one rigid method or diet. We've also gone deeper than the physical -- into the inner work of trauma, stress, and old patterns -- and worked through how my health connects to my marriage, family, work, and travel. I'm so grateful for my work with Shanti. It has been life changing. I wouldn't be able to propel into my next steps in life without the rigor and resilience of our time together.

Her deep, science-based understanding of physiology, especially when it comes to female and athletic bodies, is truly unmatched. She meets you exactly where you are, tuning in to your personal needs while offering practical, meaningful guidance that leads to real change. What sets Shanti apart is her whole-body, natural approach. She's not someone who pushes a Western medicine fix for everything--she's incredibly attuned to the body's natural rhythms and honors the simplicity and wisdom of how we're built. She challenges me in the best ways, always pushing me toward actual growth while being emotionally supportive and truly caring along the way. And honestly--her approach works. I've been dealing with insulin resistance and hormonal shifts, and in just two months I've experienced a major, positive transformation in how I feel and how my body functions. I first worked with Shanti before my wedding and reached my goals, and came back to her when I decided to come off birth control. The results have been even more powerful the second time around. If you're ready to take real action and make sustainable, lifelong changes for your health, I can't recommend Shanti enough. She's the real deal

Working with Angela & Whole Body Balance has brought so many positive changes into my life. I…read moresigned up for nutrition coaching services somewhat unsure of what I expected to get out of it, but generally wanting to be more healthy and shed some excess weight before my wedding. I never could have imagined that with a little coaching and listening to my body, I would learn how everything I eat and drink - or don't drink (enough water!!) - affects my physical and mental well being. My experience over the past year has been a journey towards healthy living, an adventure with new and delicious foods, and a time of self discovery - what works and what doesn't work for my body. In addition to learning how to nourish my body with clean and whole foods, even during my hectic work week, Angela has helped me learn to be compassionate and loving to myself. More challenging that one would expect. As I like to say, I now know how to be kind to my temple! She listens, she respects, she never judges - with Angela there is no such thing as "falling off the wagon". Some days are better than others in meeting your goals, plain and simple. You WILL find success in whatever form it takes working with Angela. I am grateful for my opportunity to work with her and look forward to working with her more as my lifestyle needs change. Thank you Angela!

Since working with Angela, I have a whole new attitude towards food and nutrition, and thanks to…read moreher awesome coaching I'm finally free from the emotions that were causing me to overeat and snack late at night. Especially helpful for me was the way she provided scientific explanations for why some foods are better than others, reinforcing the lesson to choose real, whole foods whenever possible.

What an awesome experience!

I wasn't sleeping, and my stomach was a nervous wreck. My husband suggested I see Marcia. After one session, I felt as if the weight of the world were lifted off my shoulders. I slept well for the first time in weeks, and I felt nearly normal again. I went again one week later, and felt even freer. What a blessing to have someone with this gift. She is skilled in many healing modalities that I don't know much about. All I know is that, for me, her hands felt cool and refreshing on my scalp, where she did very gentle work for most of our session. She also suggested trying an ammonia-free hair color, to help me deal with a chronic itchy skin condition that's gone on for 10 years. I used it next time I colored, and I noticed a very significant reduction in itching since then - about 80%. Also, just last week, an artist friend of mine went to Marcia for help with shoulder pain. He walked out with greatly reduced pain, but also, unexpectedly, free from blocks that had kept him from producing art for many months. He went to his studio and started painting joyfully, without fear of anxiety. What a wonderful gift!
