Testimonials

“Mary Ellen is passionate about healthy living. She is knowledgeable, engageable and non-judgmental. She has the wonderful ability to truly meet people where they are and work at their pace to make meaningful changes. The most significant overall change I have noticed has been a shift in mindset about food. I am more aware of how the items I eat effect my health and try to pay attention to how I’m nourishing my body. I would recommend Mary Ellen to anyone who is looking to make positive changes in their lifestyle. Her scope reaches beyond nutrition and helps you examine all life domains.”

"With Mary Ellen's 6-Month Health Coaching program, I was able to reduce my high inflammation rate to normal, and eliminate my iron deficiency. I was able to do away with one of my arthritis prescriptions. I no longer experience morning stiffness. I now have a better quality of life. I have more energy and am able to participate in more physical activiy. Mary Ellen is a very compassionate Health Coach who worked with me at my own pace. She listens, is knowledgeable about nutrition, and was concerned about my well-being. I would recommend Mary Ellen to anyone who may want to improve their lifestyle, their diet, and would like to be educated about the way they are treating their body, ie: what they are feeding themselves, and the results."

"Before working with Mary Ellen I felt sluggish and bloated, and was not at all happy with my appearance. I was on the verge of growing out of my clothes, and needing the next size up. That’s when I decided to declare war on my bad habits! With Mary Ellen’s help, I was able to reach my goal and then some. Since successfully losing weight, and becoming more active, I have so much more energy and feel good about the way I look. I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life, and this is the first time that I can look in the mirror and actually be thrilled with the person looking back at me. It is an amazing feeling to know that you’ve taken control of your life and health. My inspiration wasn’t just for selfish reasons, I wanted to be healthy for my family, and set a good example for my teenage daughters. My hope is that they see that by taking good care of yourself you can lead a happy and healthy balanced life."

"Mary Ellen has been so supportive and such a great role model. She listens and understands the struggles that go along with making the commitment to changing your health habits in order to gain control of your life. Her guidance has been pivotal in the my ability to be successful in this journey. I am very grateful to her for her guidance and understanding. Mary Ellen’s coaching technique is very honest and supportive. She is always willing to discuss and help even beyond our scheduled meetings."

"Mary Ellen taught me how to be aware of the impacts of different foods, portion sizes, and eating strategies. Something I never really paid attention to. When I lost weight before, I would just exercise more and eat less. Now that exercising more isn’t as effective as what it was when I was younger, knowing the impacts of different foods is really making the difference. With Mary Ellen’s help, I can lose weight without feeling hungry. AND without looking like less of a “man”! I’m still eating restaurant food with my kids. I’m still drinking beer with my friends. I don’t necessarily “look” like I’m dieting. The really exciting thing is that a lot of the strategies we talk about in our sessions are starting to become second nature. I’m making better choices without even thinking about it. I’m excited about being able to maintain my weight because I've adopted a better lifestyle.

Mary Ellen always has some new technique to try or solutions to challenges, and she always has an encouraging word to keep me going.

The bottom line is losing weight is simple. But it’s not easy. Mary Ellen made it easier."

"I have rheumatoid arthritis and take medication and steroids that put on weight. I wanted to stop the weight gain and reduce acid reflux, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol by changing my diet. Mary Ellen was able to help me work toward these goals by being consistent with reinforcement of new life changes I needed to make in order to make my weight loss a reality. The biggest tangible change is how much better I feel when I wake up in the morning. The morning was typically the worst part of my day, taking a few hours for the pain to subside and get my body going to start the workday. I now have a new found energy every day. Before the weight loss, all I wanted to do was sleep. Mary Ellen is positive and supportive. She will be your cheerleader and main support for your new life stlye."

"Mary Ellen made it possible for me to change my perspective on weight loss. I had been so focused on a number on a scale but she made me realize that I had to look at all angles of good health and wellness. By really listening to my personal situation and taking my likes/dislikes into account, Mary Ellen has helped make a healthy lifestyle a reality for me. Together we made attainable goals such as finding activities that promoted weight loss but that I also enjoyed (yes it is possible!). I also now make food substitutions rather than food restrictions so I don't feel like I am missing out on any of my favorites. Best of all, she was (and still is) such a strong support system. She always has insightful advice to help me continue my journey successfully no matter what life throws at me. I have been able to maintain a 40+lb loss with her guidance but to be honest the weight loss is just a bonus. I am healthier now than I was in my early twenties and thanks to Mary Ellen I have the life long tools to keep feeling that way year after year.

I would recommend Mary Ellen's help to anyone who wants to feel better, healthier, have more energy or lose weight...but just don't know where to begin. She will be able to help you start on a path to healthy living that will fit into your life."
