I started a six month program with Kate not fully knowing what to expect. I was heavily drinking, going out and partying, eating whatever I wanted and thinking going to the gym every day would help me. It certainly didn’t.

Day one of this program Kate asked me all the things I wanted to correct about myself. The one issue for me being weight. I didn’t know I actually had a laundry list of underlying issues I needed help with. I was never sleeping, full of anxiety and depression, my periods were’t regular even after a year and a half being off birth control, I had cystic acne and eczema, etc., the list goes on.

During the six months we worked together, I learned SO much about the human body, health and wellness and how to actually take care of myself as a FEMALE. Things I didn’t know for 29 years of my life. Things we were never taught in high school or by doctors.

Seven months later, I feel the best that I have EVER felt in my life. I may have only lost a couple pounds, but I now eat healthier than ever while still eating what I want, paying attention to specific things I am putting in my body, I haven’t wanted alcohol in almost a month and a half, I sleep through the night, my skin is clear, I haven’t had anxiety or depression in months. I feel confident in myself and my body! It feels really fucking awesome. I’ve struggled for my entire adult life with my image and for the first time, I look at myself in the mirror with acceptance and praise for myself. This is my only body. I will forever continue treating it like a temple. Kate is incredible. The end.

I joined Kate’s six month program and was nothing short of amazed! This beautiful woman was such a strong, knowledgeable force. She was able to take my scattered ideas of what “health” was and help me see it wasn’t just about the number on the scale. With her relaxed, non-judgmental approach, I was able to learn and grow by leaps and bounds. I became aware of my body, especially from a woman’s perspective. I began to understand my cyclical phases and how to exercise and eat right during each phase. I was able to focus on small, attainable changes every couple of weeks. I started to notice my all-or-nothing approach to weight loss go away as she taught me to be kind to, understand, and listen to my body.

Fast forward six months, I have been able to not only stop the number on the scale from going up steadily, but to actually start seeing it go down for the first time in years. My pantry and eating have become healthier. I’ve started to live intentionally, preparing my meals for the week so I’m not tempted to eat out. I’ve learned not to be hard on myself when I do go off track. I know I have Kate there to steer me back on my health journey when I find myself in a rut. But one of the most important things I’ve learned is how to eat for stable blood sugar. It was the biggest key to helping me stop my cravings and late-night chip eating binges.

I had such a narrow view of what healthy was and Kate was able to take my hand and gently teach me and guide me into an entire healthy way of life that is not only attainable but gave me the energy and confidence I needed to continue on my health journey. I look forward to working with her for another six months and would urge anyone who feels lost, not knowing where to start or how to stop that scale from slowly going up to run to Kate. She is kind and knowledgeable and will be the guidance you need to start this amazing journey!

When I start to feel insecure, I think back on my progress. Before this program I had lost so much hair! I love the fact that it’s growing back and fast, too. My nails do not break. My sleep is amazing. Every month I have a 28 day cycle when it was erratic before. And I don’t binge eat because I keep my blood sugar stable. I cannot thank you enough for this program.

My biggest take away has been learning about how my monthly cycle affects every thing else in my life. I’ve learned about how birth control affects my body and how you can track ovulation for birth control. I’m enjoying so much learning about cycle syncing.

I’m 52 years old, and love my yoga and coaching from Kate at Vidya Wellness because I am heard, loved and educated.

I am struggling with issues of belly fat, fending off pre-diabetes, emotional eating and negative self talk that have been plaguing my life. I’ve been with Kate for a few months and am learning like crazy: how to hear my hunger cues and stop my emotional eating, how to treat my body well with nourishing foods that taste great, how to practice self care to better care for my family, how to eat to lower insulin, the benefits of knowing gentle exercise and knowing when to push myself… and much, much more.

Kate is an excellent listener and encourages me in every step. I am feeling better and more energetic every day. The yoga is amazing and I love the challenge of it. Kate is an excellent yoga instructor who knows your speed and your strength so well. (I highly recommend getting the private yoga sessions with your coaching program).

I had a huge sweet tooth - with Kate’s 1:1 sessions I feel like I have broken that cycle and instead am craving whole, non-processed foods which in turn is giving me so much more energy. I’m even sleeping harder and longer than I ever have and that is amazing!!

Working with Kate at Vidya Wellness gave me a better understanding of my body and the way it feels. I no longer over train in cardio, but instead I listen to what my body needs and incorporate strength training and yoga with my love for running and that has made a huge difference in the way I feel.

Working with Kate has been awesome. As a nurse I thought I knew a lot about myself and my body. Kate taught me so much more!

Shortly after my son was born, I signed up for Kate’s six month program. Hands down, this was one of the best decisions I made during that postpartum period. With Kate’s guidance I became comfortable in my post-baby body, managed my postpartum depression/hormones and was mindful of how I nourished myself. It was a blessing to work with Kate as I navigated becoming a new mother. She is a true gem!

-Emma

I was hesitant to start the program because I don’t like a lot of change but as the weeks went by I realized how much better I was feeling and how much more energy I had. My personal weight loss journey is slow and I’ve learned over the last six months that it’s ok and over time it will continue to shift. The amount of information is incredible and learning all the things helped me understand my body so much better. This has been a great journey for knowledge and power and feeling good.

I started Kates program to help with regulating my period (2 menses a month) and easing my PMS symptoms. Kate is so knowledgeable and sweet! I have learned things that will stick with me forever like cycle syncing and eating the proper foods to fuel my body, also NO coffee before food. Hello blood sugar disregulation. Why did I ever do that before? It has been months since working with Kate and I have been able to manage my cycles with minimal intervention, and my PMS is so much better. The food you fuel your body with matters and it matters what time of your cycle you are eating that food. I now look ahead at my schedule when planning and compare it to where I will be in my cycle. It has saved me so many times! It is okay to rest and ease up on your schedule when your body is telling you to. It was an amazing experience and I am so thankful for her and this program.
