“I was experiencing near-daily bloating, gas, and loose stool. I had tried tracking foods I was eating and identifying sensitivities, but I wasn't making any progress in building a diet that worked for me or getting any closer to understanding underlying gut issues.
First of all, [Elizabeth] helped provide the structure for me to actually document my food intake and associated symptoms. That gave us an actual baseline of what was going on and felt super important. Second, [Elizabeth] ordered tests that gave us valuable objective information about my gut health. Third, [Elizabeth] helped me interpret those results and craft a supplementation plan around my specific situation. I feel the best I have in like 10 years!
I have had an amazing experience working with Elizabeth. She is knowledgeable, kind, and works logically through vexing symptoms to gather information before making any sort of recommendations or decisions. She tailored her approach to my specific needs and symptoms - the personalized treatment has been invaluable and a great success. After just a few months with Elizabeth, my gut health is better than it's been in over a decade!”
“My doctor told me to just take Metamucil [for my digestive issues] and it felt like it would never change… I felt relief really quickly after working with Elizabeth…she very quickly was able to identify key ways that my eating was not doing me any favors… She taught me mindful eating and in slowing down, I felt great relief… [it] was the first step to freedom from overeating. So grateful for her holistic healing style!”
“Given this was my first time working with a health coach, my biggest fear was that it might not be useful and I might end up wasting my time doing these sessions…I was pleasantly surprised after the first couple of sessions with Elizabeth were producing results! What I liked the most was that she would ask me the right questions that helped me get insights into what I really wanted, what my obstacles were and how to overcome them, thus helping me achieve my goals…. She is also very friendly, cheerful and just a delight to talk to. I always felt very energized and motivated after the sessions. Thanks Elizabeth!”
“I started working with Elizabeth on July 13, 2020; and at that time I weighed 280 pounds, as of today I weigh 182 pounds. This is the 4th time I have lost a significant amount of weight over the last 25 years. But because of Elizabeth this time feels different, as in; I have learned what it means to maintain weight loss without deprivation.
Elizabeth also helped me with some significant insight into the fact that I grew up with an authority figure in my life who had a fat phobia…This wreaked havoc on my psyche, but when Elizabeth pointed it out to me, I saw it very clearly for what it was, and it was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I consider Elizabeth my secret weapon….she is like a lighthouse, always there, always resilient, offering hope and guidance to those that need her whether seas are rough or calm without fail.”
“Before working with Elizabeth, I had high cholesterol and high blood pressure for quite some time, along with significant weight gain over the past few years…I could barely recognize myself in old photos, and I could barely remember what it was like to feel energetic and healthy in my own body… My wife and I agreed that Elizabeth’s [first] session actually felt like therapy. Elizabeth guided me towards realizing that what I thought were unbreakable patterns in my life actually had deeper roots underneath, which could be identified and then reconstructed.
I was so surprised that Elizabeth was not saying “you should eat this” or “you shouldn’t eat that,” or that I needed to count calories and get on the scale each day. She told me that [this work] was about rediscovering my relationship not only to food but to myself, and being open to new insights that could come from this type of deliberate mindfulness. If you had told me before meeting with Elizabeth that one day there might be times when I actually want to eat something healthy and wholesome rather than a cheeseburger, I would have said you’re nuts. I am so grateful to Elizabeth for giving me this mindful approach.”
"Through the stool test, I found out I had intestinal parasites (pinworms). Discovering that and taking the OTC medication for them has been a game changer. My constant bloating is gone, my stress levels are much less and I recover faster, anxiety is gone, my energy and mood are improved, sleep quality is better, muscle tension and teeth grinding reduced, desire for sweets/carb is less, food sensitivities are less severe. Thank you for being the only clinician that listened and tried to get to the root cause of my issues!"
“I’d been feeling intense exhaustion for several weeks [and] was told I had low iron levels. A doctor suggested offhandedly that I meet with a dietitian. I expected to meet once [and] get some routine responses about eating more iron-rich vegetarian foods. However, what happened was completely different. Elizabeth quickly got to the bottom of much deeper issues underlying my relationship with food... It was an intense relief when I realized that this was a space where I could specifically work on my issue with food, which I felt to be the most worrying—and often painful—aspect of my life. [Elizabeth is] helping me realize how long I've been holding in negative feelings, and is giving me concrete tips to go through the day without fixating on my diet”
“My biggest fear was to feel uncomfortable talking about my body issues and being judged [I am not obese or don't have the biggest problems in the world so I feel bad to take up space that another person could need more]. Elizabeth took away all fears from the beginning. She was very empathetic and understanding and I always had the feeling of being taken seriously. I really appreciated the way [Elizabeth] approached food. It was not just about food and ingredients but the emotion or habit behind it. Also, it was very useful that the advice you gave was not overwhelming but little steps that could be implemented in my daily life. Overall, the sessions were incredibly helpful to me and I learned a lot. Thanks!"
"When I was looking for a dietician I really wasn’t sure how to find the right person or what to expect. I am so happy that I found Elizabeth! I have been struggling with gaining weight and I expected a dietician to just jump in and either criticize me or start telling me what to eat, but instead our whole first meeting was focused on how I felt when I ate, what my stressors were, what my moods were, what my thoughts were around eating and being healthy in general - I was so surprised what a difference this made for me off the bat. Without even touching the subject of what foods to eat I felt like I was already uncovering so many of the obstacles that had been challenging me - it was so eye opening!
Elizabeth does a great job of getting to the root of your diet and nutrition issues and then setting achievable goals that don’t add additional stress but help accomplish your goals. Working with her has been transformational for me and has really made me feel more comfortable and in control of my nutritional habits. I feel so much healthier overall and more confident and in control of my well-being. Also she’s just a genuinely nice person and so that makes it easy to look forward to our conversations. Highly recommend!"
