Testimonials

Nutrition Coaching

“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 flexible scheduling. I liked that we could meet virtually. She has a laid back approach that never feels shaming. I always looked forward to the intentions she gave me the space to set.”

All of her patience, understanding, and listening helps 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. [I liked] that she never asked me to look at calories or amounts of anything like protein or sugars in the food and let my body realize what it needed (with a push from her). When I would be feeling ill from lack of nutrition or something, she could always get to the bottom of it.”

“I came to Chelsea to lose weight that I was having trouble dropping myself. She was able to open my eyes to a lot of disordered eating behaviors and habits I had. She helped me achieve a new sense of well being. I no longer obsess over where my next meal is coming from or counting my calories or protein intake. I have a new freedom to enjoy my life. She 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. Chelsea changed my life. She has given me a new feeling of living and loving my life. I have almost no guilt when eating out, splurging at home, eating bread or anything! I have the power and knowledge to enjoy and change my life.”

“Chelsea helped me with having accountability. Instead of a meal plan that I probably wouldn’t have followed, she helped me with timing meals and snacks and balancing the foods I already eat. As former military, I like that I have someone checking in on me, making sure I stay on track. Whenever I had a question, I would always write it down and be sure to ask it during our sessions. Yes, it’s accountability, but each week was an improvement on the last, each time we made adjustments to the meal time or quantity to see how my body reacts. After a few weeks of working with Chelsea, I felt like I was getting my life force back with improved speed and strength and weight gain. My training sessions have been more productive.”

“I really appreciated it when Chelsea would discuss (or cite or send) the literature and studies that supported the advice she was 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 the client. For me, I was looking for someone to tell it to me straight, especially when my preconceived notions or research were wrong, and for someone that was willing to explain the theory behind the advice that they were giving. Chelsea did that in spades.”

Group Nutrition Coaching

“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.”

“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.”

“Chelsea helped me achieve a better sense of help or, at least, begin to nurture it. 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.”

Exercise Programming

“Chelsea helped me achieve results I didn’t think were possible! [She] kept me on track and held me accountable while also being flexible to adapt the program to fit my schedule. [Her programs are] tailored to my specific needs and always adapting based on everything else going on in my life.”

Personal Training

“I have trained with Chelsea for over three years and absolutely love working with her. – I highly recommend Chelsea. Chelsea’s approach is highly personalized and she is a caring, motivating, and fun coach. I have had different goals while training. First, she helped me get into amazing shape for my wedding – I was very pleased with the results and could not imagine stopping our work together after the wedding – so we kept going! Second, 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.”

“Before I started to work with Chelsea, I had a chance to work with other trainers, and I can clearly see the traits that make her an outstanding advisor and coach. 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.”
