Coaching Clients 

"Pat, I write to you with an apology.  We worked together for almost 8 months and I just couldn't get my head around the things I was learning from you.  It was so different than how I was "programmed."  Then, I was actually floating in my pool one day -- all alone so no one would see me in a swim suit! -- and it hit me.  I got it!  It's not food.  It's not a magic exercise program.  It's not a pill.  It's me that had to change.

I can't thank you enough for sticking with me.  It was hard.  But you never gave up!  And you didn't let me give up!  After my stubborn mind caught up to my learning, I lost 40 pounds in the next 9 months.  It just left!  I can't explain how right it felt.  I'm so so grateful to you.  I left a lot of things behind in the last two years -- some bad relationships, a lot of weight, a job that wasn't fulfilling to me -- but I got a whole new life out of the deal.  Please print my story!

"You have got to work with this woman!  She is amazing.  I have learned so much.  After losing over 50 lbs, I can't even imagine living life the way I was living.  

-- Jane, Real Estate Agent, Age 42

 

I knew when I first heard about this program that it sounded like it was exactly what I was looking for, but I had no idea what a huge difference it would make for me in such a short amount of time.

It’s great working with Pat because you know she’s been through the same things you’re going through.  You feel like you can trust her and tell her things that might be difficult to share with others.  She has a great way of steering you in the right direction without pressuring you or making you feel bad about your behavior.

-- Susan, Professional Fundraiser, Age 31

 

Looking back, it's really quite sad to me but I never had anyone in my corner, urging me to do a better job, cheering my victories... Now that I have experienced having a coach who wants nothing but my success, I am learning to be a better nurturer of my own health and to be kinder to myself.  I would recommend Pat as a coach to anyone who doesn't want to stay stuck in the same old negative patterns.

-- Jonelle, Teacher, Age 36

 

"Pat - I have worked with you for about a year and lost 35 lbs.  What is so important to me is that I know that weight will never come back!  I never felt so secure about this in my life - because I know I changed tremendously through this process.  It never occurred to me this was what it was all about - I really thought it had something to do with calories!  Now I look at food in a totally different way and I don't agonize over it anymore!

-- Tara, Beautician, Age 34

 

"Taking your course helped me see my habits and motivations in a completely different way.  I learned valuable things like forgiving myself for past failures and I learned I have the power to make healthier choices for myself."             

-- Gloria, Secretary, Age 39

 

"This course helped me organize everything I knew and apply it to my life.  It helped me acknowledge that I eat not because I am hungry but for emotional needs.  Pat, you did a wonderful job and I felt very comfortable and open with you.  You encouraged and motivated me!  I understand now that I have to take responsibility for my own happiness."

-- Mary Anne, Child Care Provider, Age 53

 

"The course has been helpful in bringing to light some conflicting thinking I have regarding weight loss.  (I want to get where I don't have to think about food anymore, which in reality is sabotaging my efforts at weight loss.)  It has made me think about how my attitude and thought processes need to be changed toward positive ones."

-- Nancy, Investment Fund Manager, Age 44

 

"Just when I felt there was no hope, I learned a sane approach that allowed me to lose weight comfortably without restricting my whole life."           

 -- Ellen, Attorney, Age 42

 

"I always thought I had to be on a diet to lose weight but I have learned a different approach and a healthier one.  It made me very nervous at first not to have a list of what exactly to eat, but when I had a list, I could never follow it for more than a couple days anyway.  I am learning to make my own choices and it's a completely new thing for me!  I am making mistakes, for sure, but I am learning and it is such a relief not to feel like slave."

-- Wendy,  Graphic Artist, Age 35
