Testimonials
Nutrition Clients
“I came to Chelsea with one objective in mind and a lot of assumptions. Through her questioning and compassionate approach, I was able to get to the heart of what I really wanted to accomplish–feeling better and being happy. She asks questions and provides tools so that I can turn my thinking inward and be curious and attentive to what my body needs. She has a laid back approach that never feels shaming.”
– Stephanie W.
“What really worked for me was how Chelsea started our sessions by truly listening to me. She helped me develop self-compassion when it came to my eating habits, which was a game-changer. Unlike other approaches I’ve tried, where I often felt restricted and judged myself, Chelsea’s method made me feel supported and empowered. Her focus on balance and sustainability helped me embrace a healthier lifestyle without guilt.”
– Charlane B., age 52
“Chelsea helped me to express and untangle so much of the worry and shame and avoidance I had about nutrition and movement. By providing actionable worksheets, authentic listening, and making sure that all of our conversations were grounded in self-empathy, I was able to move away from the ideas I had about how I “should” eat/move/evaluate myself. We also worked through some of the interpersonal and self-talk dynamics that were influencing my food and exercise habits.”
– Ellen T., age 34
“For the first time I did not feel guilty or judged. Nobody had ever told me that due to my size I needed to eat more calories to fuel my body, I was always told the opposite. I was also told that indulging was “cheating” on a diet and was never told it could be a conscient choice that I could make. I had never been told that exercise could be used to just make myself feel better, it is not just a tool used to lose weight. I really enjoyed our discussions and learning about a different perspective to overall health.”
– Gloria, age 30
“Chelsea helped me with my recovery from anorexia. All of her patience, understanding, and listening helped so much even if it had nothing to do with the food. The method that worked best for me was adding things in gradually and at a pace that worked best for me. The only other thing I tried was figuring it out on my own, and I can tell you that I would have never made it this far without Chelsea.”
– Ashley M., age 18
“Chelsea opened my eyes to how unhealthfully I was trying to reach my goals. I was not focused on my own happiness but chasing an unreachable past version of myself. I liked how she softly approached things. Chelsea let me make the decisions and have the ‘ah ha’ moments. She gave me the option to turn my focus back to fat loss if that was what I truly wanted. Chelsea changed my life.”
– Sawyer S., age 31
“I really appreciated it when Chelsea would discuss (or cite or send) the literature and studies that supported the advice you were giving me. I might be in the minority, but it allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of why I should do X and what to expect from my body. Chelsea is very personable, and I get the impression that she’s able to tailor her approach based on her client.”
– Jesse H., age 35
“This program helped me to become more aware of my habits allowing me to focus on where the problems really are. This was great in helping me to work on long term nutrition issues in a way that I would never have thought of. I found this approach much easier than other methods. I loved the online chats and presentations. The intuitive eating section was of particular interest to me. It is a term that you hear, but Chelsea did an amazing job explaining it.”
– Jamie, in the Nutrition for Athletic Lifestyles Group
“I learned a lot about meal planning and that helped me manage how I would spend my time during the weekend vs weekdays on preparing high quality, tasty meals. Also, when things weren’t going as well, I learned some ways to cope with changes and challenges. Having a specific assignment, templates, and guides in actually doing meal planning helped. In the past, I would read about it and have a list of tips, but that was never enough to push me to fully try a new method out.”
– Christine, in the Nutrition for Athletic Lifestyles Group
“Her work is as much mental as it is physical, which is both rare and wonderful! I love the bi-weekly Skype calls wherein I could speak with other people participating in Chelsea’s program. The interaction made me feel like I was not alone in my struggles! I think Chelsea’s service is excellent for people in the mental health field (where I currently work) specifically because she addresses more than just physical health. Chelsea is intuitive and caring and understands the inevitable links between mental and physical well-being, and she innately understands how to work with the two.”
– Whitney, in the Nutrition for Healthy Lifestyles Group
Personal Training Clients
“I have trained with Chelsea for over three years and absolutely love working with her. Chelsea’s approach is highly personalized and she is a caring, motivating, and fun coach. First, she helped me get into amazing shape for my wedding – I was very pleased with the results! Then, Chelsea trained with me through an injury, carefully tailoring the training program to my needs. Third, Chelsea worked with me after surgery to get back in action and in shape. Through all of this Chelsea has been a flexible, patient, and inspiring coach.”
– Mariah C., age 30
“Chelsea’s solid educational background makes her an expert in the physiology of fitness training and in nutrition science. Moreover, watching her interactions with myself and other clients I am very much impressed by her ability to conduct the key concepts of her training agenda to every client. Chelsea’s attentiveness to all bits of feedback that I may have, and her inquisitive approach allow her to build a truly personalized training program for me that is always safe but still challenging.”
– Anna B., age 35
“Chelsea helped me achieve results I didn’t think was possible! She kept me on track and held me accountable while also being flexible to adapt the program to fit my schedule. The program is tailored to my specific needs and always adapting based on everything else going on in my life. The flexibility and willingness to adapt the program and how we work together has been exactly what I needed.”
