Success Stories

Before I started working with Debra, I felt that the pandemic had taken a real toll on my wellbeing. I had gained weight, I was depressed, I was angry, and I was holding on to negative feelings.

I feel that the most valuable part of the program were the tools that Debra shared with me for dealing with many things that overwhelmed me. Whether is it was breathing exercises, physical exercise, recipes or just positive energy, Debra helped in every way.

I have lost 28 pounds, my body shape has changed, and my clothes are too big for me. I have been able to go into my closet and find clothes from a few years ago and wear them after thinking I would never fit into them again.

I think the biggest results or changes I have made while working with Debra involve my outlook on personal relationships and my work. With tools provided by Debra, I have been able to take a deeper look at my life and make decisions that I am completely happy and comfortable with. I am now able to just feel and be in the moment, and positively look forward to the future.

I have become less emotional about the insignificant stuff and more positive about everything.  I breathe better, I sleep better, I am more grateful for all things, I am in tune with my emotional self, and I feel fantastic physically.

I would recommend this program to anyone who is ready to make some changes in their life, big or small. If you want realistic tools for wading through emotions and making positive changes, this program is for you. The pandemic kicked me down on so many levels, I struggled with being kept apart from my loved ones, and chose bad eating habits, and negative thoughts. Everything has changed, and I am super thankful to Debra for her calm, positive outlook and for helping me get to such a great place emotionally and physically.

“After an initial conversation with Debra, I was inspired to make changes that lead to great results. I approached Debra to work on a bigger goal for myself as I didn’t want to go back to the way I was. I chose to work with Debra because I liked what she had to say and I trusted her.

Debra made me aware of what I’m doing to support my health. Today, I have more energy, stamina, and not tired like I used to be. I’ve changed my mindset to how I relate to eating and my diet. I am confident I will reach my goal and maintain it.

What I really like is that it’s not only a lifestyle change but a whole way of being.

I would recommend Debra to people who want to get healthy, trim and fit. She has the tenacity and thoroughness to help achieve health goals. She was great to work with, and the length she took to help was admirable.”

“I was unhappy with the excess weight on my body and how it made me feel. I knew it would be hard to get lasting results on my own as I’m super busy with my job, family and social activities. I was skeptical at first but I knew Debra had the knowledge and experience to guide me in getting the results I was seeking.

After working with Debra, I lost the excess weight, feel great in my body and the healthy eating also had a positive effect on my family. I am super happy with the results! I like how Debra broke it down for me so it’s do-able, organized, and not overwhelming. She provided the tools, resources and options to make it workable for me.

The coaching experience with Debra transformed my thoughts and beliefs around how the power of good food can change my body. As I put this into practice, I was surprised to discover that I really like the taste of the foods I was eating! I found the experience to be encouraging and empowering. I highly recommend Debra for people who need to transform their eating habits and the mindset around it so they can enjoy a high quality of life for themselves and their families.”

“Before I started working with my Debra, I wasn’t sure I trusted myself with implementing the changes. I didn’t think I’d follow through on the recommendations. I am a busy professional and had to make a decision to make the time, rather than push this adventure back to the future.

Once I started working with Debra, I was surprised by the emphasis placed on mindset and limiting beliefs. Debra is working with people who have their own perception of their limitations and abilities, therefore she is excellent at focusing on that aspect in order to trigger emotional breakthroughs. Health, food and exercise are all linked to one’s emotional state and she was so good at leveraging that aspect in order to make me move forward.

Debra also has an amazing way of breaking things into baby steps. She doesn’t judge if you don’t do your homework and keeps spinning things in a positive way in order to keep the experience fun and exciting. Just her smile and happy demeanor made me feel loved and supported throughout my transformation.

​I absolutely recommend Debra for her professionalism, for the abundance of materials she can provide in order to support whichever step you’re at, for her knowledge, for her kindness and positive, supportive approach to tackling sometimes serious and rather personal matters.”

“Prior to working with Debra, I did not believe I could lose the excess weight and get my health back on the right track. I tried various diets and methods but failed multiple times in the past. I thought I could do it on my own but nothing I tried was sticking. I felt completely frustrated.

Debra gave me the accountability and support I needed to make changes in my life. Because she took me seriously and genuinely cared for what I was going through, I began to take myself seriously. I am more than pleased with the results. Today I am a lean, healthy version of my previous self, and proud of my physical and emotional transformation.

​I highly recommend Debra as a Health Coach. She is a good listener, very positive and motivated, as well as patient when things didn’t go as planned. Her knowledge, organization, and follow-up were invaluable as she guided me on my health journey. “
