I feel so much better after an 8-month engagement! 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 am really grateful to have found out about Marisol. I came to her with a lot of gut issues that…read morewere causing me all kinds of other issues with my brain, eyes, and throughout my body-I was really in a bad state. Marisol definitely helped me get these gut issues under control so I could be a functional human again. What's great about Marisol is that she met me where I was at, rather than trying to change my diet or all my self care routines to something that had worked for another client, but might not work for me. I also want to add that Marisol is a very kind and patient with her clients-she always indulged my random questions, tangents, and long winded discussions about health & life. If you are having any kind of gut or nutrition issue, I would highly recommend her!

From our initial consultation, Kelsey met me where I was, putting me at ease with her empathy and understanding. Since then, she has continuously provided invaluable education and encouraged realistic, personalized, and incremental changes that we built on over time. I genuinely look forward to our meetings because working with Kelsey feels like having both a personal coach and a cheerleader by my side. Kelsey, I cannot thank you enough for everything!

Kelsey is an absolutely amazing nutritionist and person! I had a negative experience with another…read morenutritionist and was so lucky to find a caring, competent and flexible thought partner like Kelsey. She is less rigid and formulaic in her approach which I love. I'm a crazy person in collecting data and having tons of questions especially after using a CGM to manage my diet these last few months. Kelsey met me where I am and was willing to accommodate all of my questions and challenging nature in the area of food. Given how sensitive food can be and the emotions here, I realize that competence mattered but also chemistry and ethos. Kelsey's positive nature as well as her willingness to go above and beyond to address my concerns is really impressive. I highly recommend her and already made my wife connect with her. So nothing but positive things to say here!!

They can design diets to treat specific medical conditions. Emily has her Master's and is a registered dietician. As I'm getting older, my usual lifestyle and tricks weren't enough to keep the pounds packing on. I had some success with Keto but the calorie count wasn't sustainable and I veered off course, like crash and burn off course. And I eat out. All. The. Time. I don't find cooking relaxing or therapeutic. Don't judge. I just needed someone to give me a meal plan. I went to Emily, and in the end, she gave me so much more than a meal plan. At our initial intake, she explained her philosophy - no fad diets, just real food, and you can have what you want in moderation. Emily has lots of tricks up her sleeve and truly works a meal plan that fits your lifestyle. More importantly, she is making me think about WHY and WHAT I eat because if you are going to her, there's something you want to change. I thought I just wanted my macros and suggestions for meals that fit within it, but it turns out I needed more of a coach than a nutritionist. She listens -- and makes an actionable plan for me. She checks in -- to hold me accountable. She's knowledgeable and I learn from her. She has several flexible plans -- with meal plans, without, meet in person (prior to COVID-1) or video conference. And it's all working -- I've lost some pounds, I'm learning about myself and why I eat, how to stick to my stated goals, and yes, even cook a little. I highly recommend Emily!

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!

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.
