Saskia is a great person to have on your health and wellness team not only because she is so…read moreknowledgeable, but also because she is so wise. I don't need to hire someone to tell me to drink less alcohol or eat less sugar. I did need someone to remind me of why I need to change my diet (for my kids), and how to do it in a patient, sustainable way. For example, rather than cut out alcohol altogether, Saskia suggested that I only use half a shot of whiskey in a whiskey and soda so that when I ordered 2 drinks, I'm drinking half as much. Some ideas worked, and some had less success, but Saskia was always open to pitching ideas until they stuck. My numbers were on the brink of disaster, and I am much healthier now thanks in part to Saskia and her kindness, expertise and wisdom.

For the close to a year that we worked together, she helped figure out what to eat and when. She is an amazing source of all things dietary especially for people with specific needs. I only left when I finally had to go on dialysis. But I would recommend her to anyone searching for a dietary specialist.

My sister, previous poster Bev Y, suggested this was something that I should really try due to my…read moremultiple hand/neck injuries from my VERY high stress job. I must admit, I had quite the laugh over the no caffiene part, but jumped right in. I could not have done this without the wonderful support from Dina (and my sister!!) !!!! We talked once a week and she would answer any silly questions I might have, in a timely manner, via email. I never felt alone or lost or overwhelmed!! I had IMMEDIATE physical results !! Rather then weigh myself, every week I would go down a notch on my uniform pants belt AND my "fat" uniform pants quickly became my too loose pants and I moved down to my "medium" pants which are now very comfie !!! After awhile, I started to notice alot less inflamation coming from my injuries. On my days off, instead of spending the whole day reading/watching TV, I suddenly had energy to go out again and be a part of life !! I have been off the detox for over a month now. I have had NO desire for a soy latte yet and I drank 3, yes 3, a day before !! I still start every morning with one of the shakes and either an herbal tea or a green tea. I am enjoying learning to cook for myself again rather then going the frozen route. I have started walking again, not alot, but at least I have started !! Soon, I hope to hire a personal trainer and start building muscles around my injuries. Thanks to Dina, I have begun the journey to taking back my life and moving foward with it !!! I cant even begin to explain in words how big a deal that is !! I am taking all my new information about food and handling stress, and Im looking ahead with a big ol' smile on my face !!!

I already ate a fairly clean diet and was fit and at a healthy weight, but the detox was still very helpful. I learned what foods (sugar and gluten, in particular) cause me to feel worse and I cleaned up my diet even more. It really made me think about what I eat, even now, weeks after finishing. Dina was sincerely supportive during the detox and helped me be successful. (I didn't cheat once!) Dina also offered ideas on dealing with my job stress. I felt the ideas really catered to me and my job specifically, rather than being some general ideas I could get from internet research. I use one of the fantastic ideas religiously to help destress after every shift. I was so pleased with my experience, I recommended Dina's Four Quadrant Living to my sister, who is now having her own very positive experience. Dina is knowledgeable, supportive, and completely invested in her clients. Highly recommend!!!

Jamie is an awesome human being and her work makes her even awesomER!…read more I worked with Jamie for 6 months and she has changed the way I eat. She didn't make me give up "bad foods" and she didn't make me go vegetarian. Jamie changed the way I look at foods (ketchup is all sugar) and the way I eat (pile on those leafy greens!). I learned to cut out most sugars and I now shop regularly at Whole Foods for organic everything. I've cooked and eaten foods I never tried before and I feel fantastic! But Jamie isn't just about nutrition - she's a Lifestyle Counselor! Over this past year, I've golfed, tried my first spinning class and gone on long-ass hikes as ways to motivate my body to move more! Jamie never makes you feel bad about your choices because ultimately, your life is all about the choices you make. No matter what you do, she is always there to lift you up with encouragement. She's almost like Jiminy Cricket on your shoulder. Thanks to Jamie, I am a healthier, happier foodie and I'm wearing jeans I haven't worn since last spring!

Jamie is fantastic!

There isn't the slightest bit of self-righteousness or judgment in her lessons, and she seems to have a genuine interest in ME and working around my needs; she takes my concerns and restrictions and "translates" them into new habits that I can work with. She is gentle, but firm, and I learn more from her in one session than I ever have from a book. (Un)Fortunately, she has revamped and improved my eating habits so much that I don't need her anymore, and yet, even though I'm essentially done with my sessions now, I'm looking for excuses to keep coming back. She will change your life.

I absolutely loved working with the team and my coach at Allie Stark Wellness. My coach, Sarah, was…read moreamazing. She reflected so much back to me in our conversations and in the written communications between our sessions, which was incredibly helpful to me. She was so present in our work. She helped me clarify a few, big parts of my world that I have not noticed/seen as clearly previously and helped me redefine really crucial pieces of my life (beyond just my professional world!) during our work together. As she got more insight into me, my goals, my values, and where I am/where I might want to go, so did I. I feel like we altered some major lenses through which I view my world. She helped me appreciate and realize, very authentically, the work that I have done and am doing right now, which helped me feel like I am indeed moving forward, even when I'm feeling stuck. I felt comfortable being vulnerable, sad, happy, and everything in between with her. I feel like I am still chewing on so much of the work we did together and like Sarah set me up with tangible work and things I can do as my professional and personal life continue to unfold, but also helped me trust the very-not-tangible, broader process that is taking place. Thanks for an amazing coaching experience!

Team Allie, all the way…read more When deciding to get coaching, I was looking for someone who could be my thought and accountability partner -- someone who was direct and stern, yet compassionate and nonjudgmental, and Allie was exactly that and more. Working with Allie for the past 6 months has shifted me in a way I could have never imagined. relationship I went in thinking I wanted to work on building a meaningful career path, but as time went on, Allie helped me discover was that there were many layers deep down that we needed to dig deeper into for me to create lasting change. Allie held my doubts of her (because of a unfruitful coaching experience prior) and push-back on how to use our sessions with ease and skill and brought to the table multiple learning and coaching styles and homework exercises that were well-rounded, incredibly effective and brilliant. Each and every session were unique. Depending on what was coming up for me, Allie would come up with a "game plan" on the spot to work me through my thoughts, concerns, excitement, trauma, hurt, etc. I felt loved and taken care of and never judged for my decisions or how I showed up in our session, which all have me space to trust and grow exponentially in our time together. I saw how I was breaking down habits and rules that were no longer/ serving me-- something I wouldn't have been able to do on my own, or possibly in such a meaningful, powerful way with anyone else. All in all, I recommend Allie wholeheartedly as a coach and encourage you to at least see what she's about via her website and podcast, whether you are thinking of a working with a coach or not. She's funny and brilliant to work and talk with and someone you want on your team. Incredibly grateful our paths crossed -- thank you Allie

I found Tiffany when I was in the darkest time of my life. Adhering to healthy habits was…read moreimpossible and my impulses controlled me. I found myself Googling "self-sabotage" in the very moments that I made regrettable choices. Explaining my struggles to her in our first session made me cry, and even though I was broke, I reluctantly took a leap of faith that changed my life. Twelve sessions later, I cried tears of joy and gratitude. At first, it was a challenge to break my perfectionist tendencies. I wanted to do everything the right way and all at once, but I learned that consistency is not the same as perfection. In fact, sustainable consistency IS imperfection. Tiffany asked the right questions when my thoughts were too disorganized to articulate. Checking in with her periodically held me accountable. I now celebrate forward-moving actions, no matter how small, instead of beating myself up for poor performance. I noticed a change in my relationship with food, habits, and self-esteem. By our last session, I was a brand new person and the best version of myself to date. She gave me the tools to thrive without her and I finally feel capable of continuing this journey on my own.

Coach Tiffany has truly changed my life! Going into her program I was an extremist when it came to…read morereaching my goals and couldn't quite grasp the importance of consistency and intentionality. Tiffany has so much knowledge in the wellness arena and I truly feel she's fulfilling her purpose. I came out of her program with so many tools to help shift my mindset in tough moments, trust myself in challenging environments, and allow myself to live without overthinking every morsel of food I put into my mouth. I am way more confident, prepared, optimistic and aware of my needs to function at my best. I seriously can't thank her enough! Reading all of her great reviews when I was searching for a coach is what pushed me to work with her, so let this be confirmation for anyone thinking about it. You won't regret it!

For someone (me) that has struggled to lose weight, maintain a healthy/ daily routine she has motivated me and reminded me of how easy and good food can really be in healthy way. I have lost 12 pounds, I feel happier, more energy! And trust me as a mom of 3 I need this energy. She introduced me to her products where I have been taking daily and I can't wait to purchase more of. My clothes are fitting comfortably and I feel so much more confident. Heather, thank you over and over again! You are amazing!!

Heather was so caring, recommending different types of vitamins, notorious foods, and ways to help my body overcome this imbalance.

From the very first minute I met Trina, I knew she was a master of her craft. She has a calm,…read morecompassionate presence and an extraordinary ability to listen deeply and offer insight that's both profound and immediately useful. As a startup founder juggling intense responsibilities while also caring for aging parents, I found my conversations with Trina to be incredibly grounding. She shared valuable and practical insights that I could apply not just to my own life, but to support those around me as well. For example, when I mentioned my father was showing signs of dementia, she gently suggested I explore whether sleep apnea or low energy might be playing a role. That kind of holistic, thoughtful approach is rare and truly appreciated. We also spoke about several family members who struggle with phobias or anxieties that can seem small to others but are deeply impactful for them. When I shared those stories, I knew right away that I wanted to refer them to Trina. She has the kind of expertise and heart that can help people through even the most persistent fears and patterns. If you or someone you know is dealing with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, or simply feeling overwhelmed by stress, I can't recommend Trina highly enough. She's someone you want in your corner.

She has expertise…read morein a multitude of therapy methods to draw upon in order to individualise your therapy experience. I have just loved doing guided imagery meditations with her, and detailed dream analysis. As well as Hypnosis for weight loss and more traditional cognitive therapy techniques. She has helped me to release old grief that was holding me back from having a heathy relationship with my spouse and so much more. I am much happier now for having worked with her. If you want a brilliant, really talented & compassionate therapist ,I highly recommend that you make an appointment with Trina Swerdlow.

Well a friend suggested that I see a hypnotherapist years ago and I was skeptical. I mean I don't even watch TV because of the "mind control" factor...so hypnotherapist? No way Jose. I envisioned that I would leave there clucking like a chicken or something strange like that. But alas, there is Miss Christine Bartlett who immediately put me at ease. During our first meeting she explained thoroughly what I wanted to accomplish and how she does her work. The second session, we got to work. And I am proud to announce it only took 1 session for me to stop smoking! It's been 3 weeks and not even as much as a little urge, no side effects! I even ran during my workout much longer than I have been able to in years! Her prices are super reasonable for the results I have seen. Christine is permanently a part of my holistic wellness program!

I look forward to my next session with Christine. Christine thank you from the bottom of my heart you amazing and I am forever grateful.
