CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Slide

I had never met with a nutritionist previously, and Janyce provided me with guidance, helpful suggestions, practical information, and useful recipes and handouts that were exactly what I needed to reach my goals. She helped me achieve my target of weight loss and has put me on a good trajectory I am sure I can sustain. She is extremely knowledgeable, and she communicates clearly and directly. She is also personable, realistic, and encouraging. Frankly, I can’t imagine a better nutritionist.

Within three months I’d lost over thirty pounds and my surgery was scheduled. It’s now been over a year since my hip replacement, the weight is still off and I’m able to live my life the way I want. I’m not saying it was as easy as one-two-three and poof, I lost the weight, and all is better. No, I’m saying that because I stopped worrying about what others thought and got out of my own way, I allowed incredible people in…and they didn’t disappoint. Janyce listened to who I was and there was never a moment where I felt judged or ashamed. A plan was created, she encouraged and helped me stick to it. If I struggled, she helped me find my way out with suggestions and recipe ideas. Even though I’ve lost the weight and continue to maintain, I still have goals and Janyce helps me with those to this day. At the end of her emails is a quote, and it’s all you need to know. “Eating is not about being good, it’s about feeling good”. Thank you Janyce for helping me feel good again!

I am a 30-year-old woman who was diagnosed with type II diabetes in early February 2020. I knew I had to make a lifestyle change to have a better healthy life. I didn’t know where to start and I needed professional help. I met Janyce and I feel fortunate that I did. I absolutely love her work. She is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition and anything to do with health. She was guiding me through the process with a lot of sincerity and compassion. In three months, I lost 8 pounds and my A1C levels went from 9.8 to a 6.7 which is huge that my doctor was impressed. She encouraged me to eat nutritious food and workout regularly to have a healthy life. She’s very supportive and I am glad she’s my nutritionist.

I wasn’t sure how to work with a nutritionist as I imagined it was just about counting calories and denying myself food. Yet Janyce quickly established a relationship that helped me explore adjustments to what I ate and consider behavior changes. Janyce provided coaching that gave me new insights and broke through barriers. To date I have lost 18 pounds without feeling like I’ve been “dieting”! Together with a fitness routine they add up to more than either of them alone. I have been back to cycling and traveling that a few months ago couldn’t imagine. Thank you, Janyce!
