Working with Vanessa of Sweat and Butter transformed my life. I was never fully happy with myself because I couldn’t maintain my goals of having a healthy lifestyle. After feeling like I let myself down for the umpteenth time, I started to work with Vanessa. Her friendly nature and passion for women’s health issues made everything I was nervous about a non issue. From the beginning, she made me feel comfortable. I was able to open up to her because of her ability to be real and open up about her own struggles. It is important to be able to relate to people when working on health and wellness and Vanessa’s entire business is relatable to anyone’s life. She helped me change my journey of weight loss into a journey of wellness, a concept that has made me stay successful for the last 9 months. Rather than starting on a journey to lose weight, Vanessa changed my frame of mind and helped me dig through issues that were preventing me from meeting my goals. Since learning about healthy foods and realistic expectations, I’ve lost 50 lbs over the course of 9 months! I couldn’t be happier with my self, the inner beauty she’s helped me find again. If you have any hesitations about working with a health coach, your search ends here. After all, she even encourages eating chocolate!
