Initially, my mindset was simply about weight loss. As you can see in my before and after pictures, I did just that. But, my transformation on the inside was so much more! I have achieved overall wellness with Gina’s help. After my initial visit, I realized that my life was not in balance. I began to understand that my weight issues were only a part of my total wellbeing. Over the past 6 months, I lost weight, strengthened, firmed and toned my body, but also became a woman with inner-confidence and self-worth.

Physically, I lost more than 2 dress sizes, have improved my lab results and blood pressure to perfect, reduced sugar, eliminated cravings, increased my energy, and have flattened my tummy. I have received compliments from my husband, friends, and co-workers.

With Gina’s constant encouragement, I have connected with positive women in my community. I work out almost exclusively at B Present Studio, where I’m not only challenged physically, but spiritually as well. Great things happen there—women support women! I have become more connected in my faith by volunteering at church, meditating, praying, and journaling—I even joined a women’s Bible Study group.

Through all of these things, I feel much more open and vulnerable. I’ve forgiven and released the chains that have tortured me for more than 30 years of my life. I truly feel free! I am now feeding my spirit instead of my belly.

This 3 month period is the busiest of the year for me, due to tax season, yet because of the changes Carrie has helped me with, I’ve had more energy than I have in 16 tax seasons, along with way fewer migraines. Each week I had small action steps focused around my program goals and she helped me learn how to make lasting changes. Carrie was amazing at knowing exactly what I needed and giving me both the resources and encouragement to make progress.

I am drinking way more water and less coffee, eating healthy and experimenting with a variety of vegetables, exercising regularly (and actually craving it!), and am feeling better both inside and out. I am sleeping better than I have for the last year and feel happier and more at peace than I ever have.
