My cholesterol levels are now in the "normal range" after receiving nutrition counseling (and some…read morehand-holding) from Leah Williams. At 33 years old, high cholesterol was completely unexpected for me, especially since there is no history of cholesterol issues in my family. Leah encouraged me from the very beginning to first try lowering my 'bad' cholesterol and increasing my 'good' cholesterol by making changes to my diet and exercise regimes rather than starting on medication right away. By checking my lipid profile every few months we were able to track the positive effects of her recommended changes to my diet and exercise regime until, last September, all of my numbers were finally in the normal ranges! Leah empowered me to take control of my health. I feel great! If I could give her a 10 star review I definitely would!

Leah is great! I met with her to discuss prenatal nutrition and she allayed my concerns about a lot…read moreof things. She explained what I needed to be eating and how much weight I should be gaining in a really easy way and made me feel better about how I'm not going to screw my kid up forever if I'm not perfect while pregnant. We talked about gestational diabetes and what kinds of things I can do to (hopefully) avoid developing it. She was super friendly and made me feel at ease. I plan to go back if I ever need more nutrition guidance!

I just completed my 6 month health coaching with Ramona, Self-Perception owner. It was a pleasure…read moremeeting with Ramona twice a month. She was encouraging and uplifting. She is educated in the health field. She offered recipes, websites, and other health related topics. With her coaching, I learned a lot about food and food choices. I learned to be accountable for my choices. You have to put the work in. Ramona guides you with questions and topics to help you along the way. Again you have to put the work in. Ramona also give your 2 week summary of your sessions. If you're looking for a health coach, I recommend Ramona. I lost 13 pounds. When I started the focus was on losing weight but after the during the sessions my focas changed to better food choices and now I'm cooking more and trying new recipes which is better for me. I'm gradually going to plant-based foods and recipes. I also lost a dress size. I'll continue with my health journey. Thank you Ramona.. Lisa Short

I lost nearly 40 pounds working with my health coach, Ramona Jones. I really liked her holistic…read moreapproach for wellness. We examined every aspect of my life; spirituality, career, education, finances, joy, social life, relationships, home environment, home cooking, physical activity, health, and creativity. I learned that as tough as it might be, it's important to be healthy in every area. She worked with me to identify troubled areas and made adjustments to maximize my health. I believe increasing mindfulness was the most helpful improvement I made. I achieved this decluttering my home environment, increasing my me time with relaxation and meditation, increasing exercise and paying closer attention to what I eat. I have not implemented all of the tools that she introduced, but the ones I have implemented have made a big difference. And what's really good is that I can go back and review the take aways from each session when I'm ready to and add more tools to my wellness arsenal as I see fit. It was a great experience. I wish I could afford to continue, because working on "me" is a full-time job. I closer to where I want to be, but still have work to do to get there. -J.C. North Carolina

My consultation with Allegra last year has made a tremendous difference in my eating/exercising…read morehabits. It took me about four to six months to see the changes I wanted (not a "quick fix"), but these changes have been sustainable over the past year + . With increased marketing for things like "high protein" foods/smoothies, it was difficult for me to figure out what kinds of foods I needed to eat to be/feel healthy. I really appreciated Allegra's moderate approach to nutrition (e.g., 80/20 rule, exercising in moderation, etc.). Prior to consultation, Allegra will ask you to send a food log and she will provide feedback on what you eat (e.g., ways to change/modify your eating habits). She identified patterns in my eating habits and sent me some great recipes. She also gave me some guidelines for looking at the nutritional information of foods when I go grocery shopping.

You are treated more like a number than a human being. The classes are informative but boring. The staff read off of their power point presentations, as if the were reading instructions for brain surgery. (Boring and monotone) As a participant you have to pay attention or fall asleep. In the afternoon, there is a presentation called digging deeper which talks about normal and everyday people problems. However, if you don't go and listen to the presentation, you are basically considered an outcast for NOT drinking the cool aid. (Presentations are generally boring and one sided. If you don't agree with the presenter, You are also considered an outcast. The most important thing about attending the structure house is you!
