Client Success Stories
"The best experience of my life! From the beginning, Dana put me at ease and is SO positive even when I’m feeling like a failure in this new direction in my life. She is so kind and goes way beyond the call of duty!
I would 1,000 percent recommend working with Dana to others!!! A million times over, she has changed my life! Dana was the answer to my prayers in finding the right foods for me because I just felt alone after my surgery and didn’t know who to turn to. I was so discouraged. I saw her on Instagram, and after watching some of her videos, I knew she was the one who could help me on this journey."
Debbie, Jumpstart Program Participant
Omg!! This program has been life-changing, seriously! I was telling my husband it should be mandatory for everyone to take this class. My surgery center was great for surgery, and that sort of thing, but ideas and guidance on food, nutrition, meals, and what to expect are in no way helpful. I felt completely lost and felt like I was going to fail. This has given me so much confidence and belief in myself that I can do this! Thank you, Dana!
Krystal, Jumpstart Program Participant
This program has been so helpful for me!! I feel more confident in my bariatric journey. Your knowledge and support have been amazing, Dana! I've learned a lot about making good nutrition choices, and I really value the support on the Zoom Coaching Calls. Honestly, it's been just what I needed!
