I signed up for Livea as a recommendation from a friend. I went into the program motivated and…read morewilling to embrace the program. I paid for the program for the year and loaded up with food and the starter kit. Over $1,000 later I left with a bag full of processed food, a ton a new restrictions and very little guidance. I was faithful to the program and did loose weight, but don't let their marketing fool you this is diet culture in green packaging. The program is restrictive. If you go off plan at all, even a little bit you are more than likely not going to loose weight. I don't know how anyone can maintain being hungry for that long. I faithfully attended the weekly meetings. When struggling I was often meet with "have you looked in the guide?". If all the information I would possibly need was in the paper guide why would I need to pay to attend a weekly meeting? I understand the workers/coaches aren't therapists, but food can often be tied to deeper issues that an unhealthy eating habits. When I brought up one of these deeper rooted issues I was told point blank "well do you want to loose weight or not?" and my issue was brushed off. Most of the other coaches I worked with talked positively about their eating habits; which with more reflection are disordered eating habits. I finally quit the program after having gained weight and their recommendation was that I just needed to buy more food. I didn't schedule another meeting and they never called me to keep going with the program. They sure did contact me to sell me on a new program though. Meeting with a nutritionist through my doctor has proven to be cheaper and more effective.

I have been training with Lenora for a couple of months now and feel like the luckiest person in…read morethe world to have found her. I did a ton of research when l started looking for a personal trainer and interviewed several trainers in person. While they were all great in their own right, Lenora stood out among the rest. She has a solid education backing her training up and truly approaches it in a holistic way, which was exactly what I was looking for. So far she has helped me greatly! We are working through some postural issues I have and she is really great during every session making sure we are doing the right exercises to help strengthen and balance my body and changing something if it isn't working. Lenora really knows her stuff. She also helps me out nutritionally and is very educated in this as well. She makes workouts fun, but also kicks your a$$. She is very good at helping you learn to push yourself and cheering you on the whole way. She finds out what really motivates you and utilizes that in your sessions. She's firm, yet gentle and nurturing at the same time. Basically, she is amazing. She is changing my body, mind and spirit....my whole life! I will be continuing to work with her for a while. She is also guiding me through training for a 1/2 marathon. I have never been a runner, but with her help, I am becoming one...at age 34! I have also lost weight, toned up, gained confidence, etc. I HIGHLY recommend Lenora of Holistic Personal Training. You will not be sorry!

I could text her a nutrition question and know her answers were based on the latest research! On top of all her technical skills, she is one of the kindest, high integrity people I know. Anyone would benefit from working with and knowing Lenora. Although she has moved across the country, I still have a weekly check in with Lenora that helps me to keep on track. Her advice is always spot on!

I was a client at Waters Edge for almost two years. I really loved it for the first year, and…read moredidn't really have anything bad to say about it. I did the adult ED IOP for a few months, saw an therapist and dietitian, and even saw a medication management provider. I LOVED my therapist and dietitian. They were such great fits for me, which I was not expecting because I have been through so many providers historically that were not great fits. However, after one year, everything changed. My therapist was randomly dropped off the face of the earth, and out of nowhere I got a phone call saying "sorry your therapist doesn't work here anymore." Then, I was assigned another random therapist who just happen to have an opening. Shortly after, several other providers also dropped off the face of the earth at waters edge... and out of nowhere patients were all without providers. Patients who already have trust issues, were given no closure with the provider they had built trust with, when the owner of waters edge could have at least allowed providers to explain they would no longer be working for waters edge. That aside, I also was really frustrated with the financial department. I am so blessed with great health insurance. Therefore, I only had a $20.00 copayments each visit. I was pretty good about making my copayments at the time of service. However, there were a few weeks I would forget- sometimes even a couple weeks in a row. And, at one point, I had $40.00 outstanding (two copayments), and Kristy called me several times to threaten "placing my account on hold, which meant cancelling my current standing appointments and not allowing me to be seen, until the balance was paid in full." It was $40.00!!!!! TWO VISITS! I simply forgot... and, I explained this to Kristy. Therefore, I was so frustrated that she would call me more than once, and over such a small amount of money. I feel guilty posting negative things, because as I explained- when I was seeing my original providers, everything was great! I sung praises about waters edge and was more than willing to make the commute to Burnsville. However, things dramatically changed over the last few months I was a client there.
