"Emily helped me achieve a weight-loss goal that had eluded me for more than 5 years. 

 

She encouraged me to experiment and helped me gain insights into what works for me. Some of these insights went against my preconceived notions, so it was a learning experience for me. She also gave me lots of strategies, tips and tools to use to make better choices. As a result, I lost 10lbs  without feeling deprived.  

I no longer feel controlled by certain foods, I eat more frequently, and feel good. I learned that there is no food that is off limits to me if I chose to eat it, but I am able to make better choices.  

 

 Emily taught me the value of having a coach. She encouraged me to experiment and to set goals and held me accountable for them. Her "homework assignments" were varied and interesting. At our regular meetings we would talk about what worked and what didn't. She's a good listener was always able to offer some insight, especially when things didn't go well. She's heard every excuse in the book, and helped me find ways to get past them. Bravo, Emily! You are my person of the year!"
