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.

A completely judgment-free environment. If I slip up, Janyce works with me to create simple strategies that enable me to handle my biggest challenges. She highlights and recognizes progress without seeking perfection. Janyce’s compassionate approach and ongoing positive support make me feel like I’m not going through this alone.

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!
