Success Stories

Working with Nina has absolutely changed my life. I was depressed and overweight before and I've since lost 20lbs and feel happier than ever! I would definitely recommend Nina to anyone who is ready to truly love their life.

I thought working with Nina was going to be about weight loss and general health, but what it was really about was nourishing my soul. It shines through in everything - in all my relationships. I am happier, I feel better, I have lost weight and I have more energy to enjoy my life.

Before working with Nina, I was desperate for nourishment. My knees hurt. My skin was inflamed. And I was neglecting myself. Nina allowed me to expand the focus - not shift it away from everything else - but expand it to include me as well.

The three most significant improvements I experienced while working with Nina:

· The skin on my face is smoothing out.
· I have a lot more energy.
· I'm craving food for hunger, not emotion.

I also feel lighter! Not just in a physical sense but in an emotional one. When you bury your feelings or are not in touch with them, you carry them around with you like dead weight. It drags you down. Having the courage to say, this isn't about food - it's about me taking a different path. And the food tastes great too.

The great thing about working with Nina is that she has been there. Nothing you say can shock her. She knows what is happening here and she handles it with empathy and grace.

Before I began my sessions with Nina I was scatterbrained, addicted to sugar, & unaware of my future. I have now conquered all of these characteristics. I am so organized my local library wants me as a LIBRARIAN! (kidding :). Vegetables are my new best friend and I must say... They are actually DELICIOUS. I am following my dreams and I enjoying every step of success on my way!

Nina has a way of connecting, like your first best friend in Elementary school! I'm so thrilled to speak with her because she lifts me up. She separates all the head trash that infests my mind and puts a positive spin on my life, dreams, and goals.

Each time I am done talking with her, my perspective has risen above the negativity and I understand myself more. All my thoughts are organized. I feel so good. This affects my eating habits in a positive way.

Since I started working with Nina, I'm in much better overall health - more energy, more peace, great skin, and I've been getting compliments from people I haven't seen in a while! I have an overall feeling of wellness!

Nina has a very reassuring, calm way of introducing new techniques for healthier eating, self-love, and mindfulness that allow you to better appreciate the things you already have. She is a wealth of knowledge and ideas - she has thoughtful answers for all my tough questions. And she's also a very inspiring role model herself!

Before I worked with Nina, I got sick pretty regularly. Nina helped me identify ways to eat differently, and I become sick much less often now. Nina helped me think more carefully about the foods I eat and about what is most nourishing for me in particular. Her kind, encouraging style and knowledge helped me make some changes that have been long lasting and beneficial.

As a mom, I get tremendous satisfaction out of feeding my children well and providing nutritional -- and fun -- food for my family. Nina has helped me better understand how I can do this without sacrificing taste, texture and variety. I look forward to her latest blog entries and recipe experiments that inspire me to create my own.

When my son faced some dietary restrictions that had me feeling overwhelmed and undereducated, Nina helped me reframe the experience as an opportunity by coaching me through nutritional alternatives and coming up with a do-able plan. Her ideas are accessible, and her energy contagious. Thank you, Nina!

Nina's thoughtful approach to healthy eating and living is appealing to moms like me who want the best for their families and themselves but are a little intimidated about how and where to begin. Her expertise, warmth and enthusiasm is inspiring.

Aside from the calls knocking my socks off, I am feeling incredible. The green smoothie is crazy delicious and energizing! This shift in "food thinking" is totally changing my food world. I didn't realize how supportive this could feel. I absolutely love hearing the diversity of our group's lives but the common thread of our momness.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom - it is clear how very much you have put into this class... all of your years of hard work, experience and studies are beautifully reflected in your words So, many many thanks Nina.

Working with Nina has been such a good thing on so many levels. I not only feel better about the way I am caring for myself, but I'm seeing the results trickling down to the family in small, but important, ways. I especially like her enthusiasm and support.

Before working with Nina I was satisfied to take a "me last" approach to a lot of things in my life - in particular, diet and exercise. Now I take the time to think about what would contribute to my wellbeing because the corollary to the saying, "If mama ain't happy..." really is "If mama is happy, everyone is happy."

After working with Nina I am: 1) Better at slowing down and being more mindful of the moment 2) consistently taking the time to prepare snacks, meals and participate in activities that I know will be beneficial to my physical as well as emotional state of mind, and 3) I find myself experimenting more in the kitchen, which my family loves!

I have worked with Nina over the last 2+ years on one-on-one wellness coaching and bodywork, and have participated in her raw foods, Feeding Kids and Smokin' Hot Moms group classes.

If there was one word that represents Nina's work it would be nourish. Nina looks at the whole you, how your mind and body are nourished by your diet, exercise, lifestyle, work and the people surrounding you. Nina works with you to enhance your nourishment in all aspects of your life.

In order to nourish others and to be nourished, one needs awareness. Nina has helped increase my awareness of how my body is feeling, what goes into my body and what goes in to my kids' bodies; awareness of relationship dynamics at home and at work. Through Nina, I have become more confident and assertive and have made both small and big changes in my life that have benefited me and my family tremendously.
