Coaching Testimonials

“Irene is smart, knowledgeable, wise, kind, dedicated, and passionate about wellness.”

“Irene has made a huge difference in my life. A few months ago, my energy levels were limited and unstable throughout the day. I felt jittery, tired, and as if something was significantly wrong medically. Although I am a medical doctor, I decided to seek out a health coach to help me through this challenge, understanding that traditional medicine has its limitations and is often geared toward “sick care” rather than health optimization.

I was very fortunate to find Irene. She partnered with me to help identify and remove food triggers from my diet and strategize the appropriate distribution and amounts of proteins, healthy fats, and non-starchy vegetables in my daily diet. She brainstormed with me and empowered me to come up with new ideas that I had not previously considered. Week after week, through small but impactful changes, my mood, energy, and sense of well-being improved.

Irene is smart, knowledgeable, wise, kind, dedicated, and passionate about wellness and using food as medicine. If you are looking to transform your health, reduce the need for medications, and slow the process of aging, you need Irene on your health team! High recommended! “

“I have lost 12 pounds since we started working together and am feeling well.”

“I heard about Irene through my yoga studio and attended a free presentation about functional medicine and how it searches for the root causes of disease and does not simply treat the symptoms. I believe in a holistic approach to wellness so I decided to meet with Irene in order to receive guidance on how to lose weight in a sustainable manner. I am so glad I did!

She was able to shift my focus from how to lose weight to how to create a healthy gut microbiome and achieve metabolic health. She provided me with many resources and podcast recommendations to educate me about these topics and more. She invited me to her home to show me healthy food options and how to prepare them. She is a delight to work with and I would highly recommend her coaching to anyone who has health concerns and needs guidance and support to feel their best. She set me on the right path and I have reached my weight loss goal and feel very well.— Julianne M.

 We did a group coaching session of eight people for six weeks. It was very educational and we focused on what we should be eating. Irene is very knowledgeable and was able to share information well in a group setting as well as tailoring the sessions to address individual needs. I also attended earlier workshops at the Townhall, which were very informative. I would recommend attending her workshops and joining a group coaching session. - Betsy D.
