Here's what clients have to say:
I enjoyed my check-ins with Stephanie, as well as sending photos for feedback. She always held me accountable. I learned to be more patient and that results don't come overnight. The more consistent I can be is the key, and I learned to be kind to myself. Overall, I feel more confident and in control of making better food choices everyday. I also think a lot less about food since I know what I have to do. Stephanie is excellent and a pleasure to work with. She is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does.
Stephanie taught me to view everything in a different way so that I don't fall back into unsuccessful habits. We focused on the importance of a balanced plate and including protein. She also taught me that it is okay to eat carbohydrates! I view myself differently now. Stephanie encouraged me and made me feel heard. She was there for me through thick and thin.
I have learned not to beat myself up if I go off course, which is the opposite of other programs I have done. My goals feel attainable, and I'm doing this for me this time. I can tell I'm getting stronger and I actually like strength training now. I had forgotten how to eat, and I didn't know how to focus on protein to fill me up. It's making me feel stronger and I am actually liking healthier foods. I am more confident and wearing shorts for the first time without feeling worried about how I look. I can see muscle definition in my legs and I love it. It was always about the numbers, but now I have a plan for overall wellness.
After trying all the fad diets, I decided what I really needed was someone to teach me how to eat again! I had gotten so confused. Stephanie has done just that. I have learned to eat meals rather than on-the-go bars throughout the day. I eat fruit again. Color on my plate is a good and necessary thing. Protein heavy breakfast and lunches really will satiate and curb afternoon snack cravings. In just a few weeks my jeans fit like they should and I feel so much better and healthier.

Group Coaching:
The Thrive program has been a life-changing experience for me. It has taught me so much about living a healthy, balanced lifestyle--physically, emotionally, and mentally. It's not about dieting, or sacrificing--I have learned strategies that enable me to eat ALL the foods I love, which I NEVER dreamed would be an option, when I signed up to join Thrive. This program is much easier, and infinitely more rewarding than I ever imagined. Coach Stephanie & Dr. Katherine Haney have an unparalleled passion for sharing their expertise with women to help us live our best lives and for that I am forever grateful.
