I put off my journey towards losing weight and getting fit until mid life. And then I found myself stuck in a merry-go-round as a professional with a stressful routine that really did not get me anywhere closer to increasing my running speed, knowing what to eat nor having a healthful existence. Until Daniela’s program. It wasn’t just about nutrition and fitness but every other piece in between that I needed to actually implement the changes I needed to change my life. Not only did I run my fastest half marathon six weeks after I started Daniela’s program, after 20 years at the same company, I found a better job for more money. (And then 8 months after starting that job I was recruited for an even better job and even more money.) Anyone can tell you what to do. Daniela showed me how. Her way of customizing a program that was just right for me and my busy life was truly what I needed. I have achieved goals and continue to set new and challenging ones that have allowed me to experience life in a more fulfilling way.

I always ate fairly well, worked out all the time, and read a lot of what I thought was good nutrition information … and yet I still struggled to lose unwanted weight and to train properly. Daniela really taught me what I needed to know (and ignore the rest) AND, more importantly, how to apply the tools I needed to get me out of stagnation mode that kept me unmotivated, unfulfilled and not near as strong as I could have been. Instead, she helped get me ready for some of the toughest physical goals of my life. I was wrong in thinking I could do this myself, but so right in learning first hand how Daniela could help me lose weight and set out to climb mountains bigger than I ever imagined myself being able to climb. She will always be considered one of the people who changed my life.

I have always enjoyed staying active and working out but proper nutrition had always been obscure to me. In the past, I have relied on a traditional “gym” and weight-lifting mentality. And truth is, I’ve always been very strong and very fit. I hadn’t any intention of hiring someone to help me since I didn’t even realize I neeed any help – but after learning about Daniela’s program, I wanted to hire her. Her pragmatic approach makes Daniela’s system easy to follow, but her passion is what makes it truly infectious. She has vastly improved my nutrition as well as my workouts. With her I found someone who can coach, teach and edify.

When I started Daniela’s program, I was in desperate need of help. I was stuck:  Starting “on Monday,” getting overwhelmed, quitting, then starting again. I am not an athlete trying to achieve running a marathon or climb some mountain peak. I am an average, over-stressed, sitting-at-my-desk-all-day office worker and busy mom wanting to feel better and break through all the confusion that is thrown at me. Eat this, don’t eat this, exercise like this, don’t exercise like this … Daniela made me really understand, helped me recognize my self-sabotaging ways, and made me face the tougher things I didn’t want to. I’m still a work in progress, but learning to take small steps until I no longer have to think about it is finally coming. I also gained a wonderful friend for life that has encouraged me, supported me, believed in me and showed me a more positive way to see myself.
