TESTIMONIALS

What people say about working with me

I really appreciated your enthusiasm and compassion for us. I am so glad you recommended 'The Mindful Diet' by Wolever and Reardon. Our sessions were informative and now a great intro to my work of making changes. There was so much useful information in the course and for me the book is a great way to continue.
Thanks, Debbie!

Debbie is great at making others feel welcome. She is sensitive to people’s needs.

The workshop is well rounded and informative. It had a lot of valuable information and a chance to be interactive with one another. I was able to take a tool with me to use to directly reduce my holiday stress. The visualization activity actually helped me make some connections about why some of my stress is so significant related to my past experiences at the holiday table. I really think that this workshop made a difference in the way I approach my holiday!
Thank you!

Your presentation was informative and relaxing. Will practice being mindful when I eat my meals.

Wasn't sure what to expect but it was great. good information and nice to see I am not alone in the struggle!
