FITLife Program Clients:

I have been dieting and battling a struggle with my weight for as long as I can remember and I knew that my battle with weight and body image had to come to an end.  I was determined to find a nutritionist who would be there for me and help me overcome my negative relationship with food. I signed up for the FIT*Life program with Victoria eight weeks ago.  I can honestly say that this program changed my life. As most women are emotional eaters I realized that it is not the food I eat that makes me upset, it is life circumstances that do. So why not face these circumstances while eating healthy and enjoying the foods I love every once in a while? That sounded really good to me! Not only have I lost weight, and I was able to put my skinny jeans back on with CONFIDENCE, I was able to improve my relationship with food. I was able to listen to my body and do what was good for me. This has become my lifestyle.  I will not let myself go back into old habits and with Victoria’s support it did not at all seem hard to loose the weight. Thank you for everything Victoria. I’m a new me!

Health and weight loss have been a focus in my life for almost 18 years. I have read a lot of books and countless magazines on the topic; I can recite the calorie contents for a host of food products. But, I wasn’t losing weight. I signed up for this program on a whim and thought it would give me a little motivational boost. What I got was far more enlightening. Victoria helps you to discover what is actually halting your success – your mind! Remembering to respect your body, trust yourself and do the things you love has a profound effect on your health, your relationships and the way you feel about yourself. I recommend this program to anyone who has been around the weight loss block a few times. “If you do what you’ve always done, then you will get what you always got” – so jump out of the cycle and try something new instead. There is an invigorating freedom to letting go of your “dieter” self.

When I started the program I was in a place of feeling lost and unsure, I was frustrated by not being able to turn the love I have for others towards myself. I felt like my own worst enemy and harshest critic and was at a major turning point…I just didn’t have the resources to figure out what was going on. Victoria changed my life and it’s hard to even put into words. The short-term change has been profound, not only do my clothes fit better, but I see myself differently when I look in the mirror. I am more gentle with myself, I check the negative chatter and have learned to tap into a place of self-love and kindness towards myself. I am learning to make myself my number one priority in this crazy world of commitments and friends and family. In the long-term, I feel like I have more clarity around who I really am and I know that the seeds that have been planted will continue to grow as my journey unfolds. I love that this program gives people the information to set them free from the noise, misinformation and judgment that exists around food and exercise.As a result of the program, I have a better sense of self, I feel alive, I feel connected, I feel spiritual and I feel grateful. Thank you for providing me with the resources to access my own power and help me see my true self. Thank you also for helping me adopt a lifestyle that fits my true self and allows me to treat my body like a temple and STOP the weight loss and self-sabotage story.

I joined the program as I had an overwhelming feeling I wasn’t doing justice to myself. I was drowning my feelings in food and avoiding the things and activities that made me happy. I had hoped that I would receive guidance and tips & tricks on how to fulfill my true sense of self and not bury my feelings and emotions in food, which had caused my weight gain. I found so much more than I ever expected. I am thrilled to say that I feel ‘whole’ again – I am happy, I am optimistic and I am able to live with and embrace my emotions, something I have not done for a long time. Victoria is a compassionate, and wise soul. She is able to help guide you through the process of discovering who you are and how you can improve elements of yourself. I highly recommend this program and any coaching with Victoria.

Nutrition and Life Coaching Clients:

When I first started coming to see Victoria, I was “a mess” and really needed support to get me back on track. After each session I left with a feeling of hope and accomplishment inspiring me to keep moving forward. She listened and supported, without any judgement and provided me with the tools that have allowed me to create healthy and productive habits. I had struggled with my “last 10 lbs” for a very long time and needed ideas on what changes I could make. I am happy to say, I lost 9 lbs and most importantly, feel stronger, healthier and happier. I discovered the importance of finding passion in my life, which I didn’t really realize was missing. In doing so, I have even come up with a new business venture and am much at peace in my body. – LB, Property Development

I started working with Victoria in the hopes of gaining some insight on how to better manage my ulcerative colitis. I expected some nutritional advice and maybe some suggestions on supplementation and other alternative therapies. But what I gained from the coaching aspect was so much more. Clarity on my goals, my dreams, my values and insights into my actions and beliefs, most importantly, the beliefs that were standing in the way of my hopes and dreams I had for my life. Within a year of my first session, the dreams we had mapped out have started to come into fruition: I was promoted, my husband and I bought a second home (our dream home) and we’re having our first baby this spring. It’s the life I have always dreamt of. I’ve learned techniques for managing my own self-sabotage and tools to help me access the part of me that holds all of the universe’s possibility. These are gifts I’ll have for my entire life and I am truly grateful.  I feel blessed to have worked with Victoria and I can’t recommend her highly enough. – SW, Advertising

It was truly divine intervention that Victoria came into my life.  Following the loss of my father, she was a pillar of support and guidance for what I can only explain was my very lost soul.  She coached me through my emotional pain, mental angst and physical symptoms of grief – guiding me through the journey to once again find my true self.  I look forward to every day as an opportunity to portray the best that I can be and to strive to make my dreams come true – all the while using the tools that Victoria has taught me. Although I have fallen off the wagon a couple of times, Victoria has helped me to be gentle with myself, and her coaching has allowed me to jump up, dust myself off, and get right back on it. I have learned that I am capable of accomplishing anything that I believe in.  I also learned that diet and supplements play a huge part in not only physical health, but also mental well-being. Through coaching I have regained the sense of self I had prior to my loss and believe that I can achieve the goals and dreams that I commit to. From a health perspective, I have been able to manage my IBS, improve my diet, and increase my energy. I started running and hot yoga, and love the way I feel every day. Working with Victoria, you can tell she wants nothing but the most sincere success for those around her. She is passionate and cares about her clients. – AR, Production

Having worked with a nutritionist before, I was expecting my experience to be somewhat similar. Within minutes of my first session, it was obvious to me that Victoria truly has a gift. I came to see her during a time in my life where my stress level was at its highest and I honestly didn’t know what to do or who to turn to. Immediately, I felt at ease in Victoria’s presence. She really listened to me, and was able to give me on the spot advice on ways to de-stress. Coming out of that initial session, my spirits were up and I couldn’t wait to meet again. In just a few days on the program she developed for me, my energy level tripled and my mood improved significantly. The problems I was having which were keeping me up at night no longer did. I now wake rested and ready for the day. Victoria’s positive outlook is contagious. I would recommend her to anyone looking to better their health and/or achieve their goals. – KL, Advertising

For the first time in my adult life, I feel like a normally functioning human being!  I tried a lot other things over the years, but was finally able to find a way to manage conditions that have bothered me for years. My digestion has improved significantly, I have way more energy, my anemia has improved and I lost those hard to lose, last 5lbs! I feel like I have a much better handle on how to manage my health. Mentally, I feel much stronger and better able to deal with stress.  Although I am somewhat in the know when it comes to nutrition, Victoria enabled me to make even better choices, and reduce my cravings for foods that weren’t necessarily that good for my body – a major win for a foodie like me! She provided me with a solid foundation, that motivated me to try something I’ve never done – boot camp.  I am loving adding new things to my fitness regimen and feel empowered.  I am getting ready to run a 5K – something I would have never even attempted before, without Victoria’s encouragement and support.  - NL, Publishing

For as long as I can remember, I have suffered with chronic digestive issues and the agonizing pain and stomach cramps associated with it. In addition to the pain and their not so flattering sides effects, my digestive issues controlled my life; where I went; for how long and what I could eat. Dining at a friend’s house or an evening out would include terrible anxiety for the long night of discomfort ahead. I have sought the help of numerous doctors and specialists whom were never able to thoroughly diagnose my condition and seemed more content to write prescription after prescription then have me report back to them. I honestly felt like a guinea pig for the doctors who were doing research for the drug companies.  Then I met Victoria. My hesitation quickly turned to hope, then belief, as the more I worked within Victoria’s programs, the more we were able to isolate my problem-causing digestive triggers and build a healthy diet around them.  Today, for the first time since I can remember, I am leading what I thought was previously unattainable – a normal life.  Thank You Victoria! – BP, Brand Management
