Client Testimonials & Success Stories
Mariella really shook my WORLD these past two months of working together. I really thought I would be a hard case or a tough cookie to “fix” but she really takes the time to listen to me, she hears what I am saying, and she responds with mini-goals I can reach for but in my own way. Good coaches give you advice but great coaches give you the tools to figure it all out for yourself and for your future.
I left for a year on a mission trip around the world that opened my eyes more to the struggles I was truly having and hiding from the world. I came back and was diagnosed with PTSD and struggled with Eating Disorder tendencies. I had a therapist at the time who helped me through a specific treatment for my PTSD but once that was over, there was not much follow-up or any goals for me to work towards. I also struggled with eating disorder tendencies and a terrible gut. When Mariella announced her program and who would benefit from it, I knew it was finally time to invest in my mental health.
Each week after every session, I leave so inspired. Seriously, I call my boyfriend and my mom each week just to tell them all about the self-discovery. This program (and having Mariella as a coach) is the perfect starting point for someone who is terrified of seeing a therapist or someone like me who did not benefit from their therapist as much as they liked to have. Even if you are just ready for some accountability or a great coach who is there weekly to lift you up, this is the program for you!
I cannot speak highly enough how my mindset has changed and how many goals I have achieved since starting this journey with Mariella! Take the leap, order yourself a 90 Savior Planner, and take this time to commit to the program, yourself, and go into 2021 more badass than ever!!

“I could not have chosen a better time to take this journey with Mariella, which began after being on medical leave for three months due to mental health and chronic pain. Mariella guided me through an accelerated program, as I’d had a head start of implementing healthy changes while being on leave. My goals were to get back to feeling like myself both in my body and my spirit, and to find my self esteem and independence. What I gained from working with her were clear strategies that set me up for success, a renewed confidence in listening to, trusting, and celebrating my body, and the ability to include forgiveness and gratitude into some big, upcoming life transitions. I’ve now built up the courage to make the huge life decision to move abroad as well as leave a toxic work environment and start my own business. I am wholly grateful to have had Mariella as a guide to helping me see that what I do and who I am is infinitely valuable.”

“Over the last few months, I have been coached by Mariella . She makes me feel like I am heard, beautiful, and strong. I feel so comfortable opening up to her about my struggles and my successes. She listens to me as I talk about my nutrition and has been my guide navigating and following a low carb diet. I have successfully lost 12 lbs since I began coaching with Mariella. I have done this not only by eating healthy, but I have been running and following online workouts with my new found passion and motivation for moving my body. Mariella has helped me gain a confidence I didn’t know I could have. She has taught me that you can eat a cupcake and it’s OK because life is about balance. She has also shown me how much I am loved and valued. Mariella is a wonderful coach, working with her has changed my life and made me a better person. I look forward to my sessions with Mariella!”

“Before starting this journey, I struggled a lot with commitment and self-accountability. Because of this, I never thought that I would be able to change the way I look/feel about my body. After starting my sessions with Mariella, I have transformed all aspects of my life. Now that I have actually stuck with making myself a priority, I have seen so many things change about my body and especially my mind. I have learned to truly appreciate my body and all of the great things it does, and I have a great relationship with food and exercise habits. I never thought that diet and exercise could be so much about the mental aspect as I do now. I could not have done any of this without the guidance of Mariella!”

“Working with Mariella has been such an incredible experience. She really gives you the tools to truly start working towards your goal. I’ve been in a rut for a long time in my life with diet and exercise and Mariella has pushed me through it and onto the other side. She’s taught me how to easily balance my meals while still enjoying and being proud of what I eat. Since working with MariElla, I’ve been more motivated to move my body and because of her, I now look forward to my next workout! I’m actively learning how to love and care for my body and be healthily mindful of what I’m putting into it!”

Mariella has provided me with such a safe and uplifting environment over my 12-week coaching. We worked together to find ways to visualize and uncover issues that I’ve had buried deep for so long regarding my eating habits, and self worth. She gave me permission and encouraged me to FEEL my feelings! She incorporated passions of mine to help uplift and secure beautiful techniques that I’ll carry forever. I always ended our coaching’s feeling more at ease and with my head back on straight and I couldn’t wait until the next one. Mariella is the definition of “Glow,” helping the rest of us shine just as bright.

“Mariella is an angel amongst us human beings. She has gifted me tools to help in my everyday life. Be it as simple as writing down my words of affirmation to read daily, to as large as sitting in stillness and going inward to do the real work. I have a newfound confidence in how I present myself towards my actions and my daily choices. Mariella opened my mind to all my possibilities. Especially during such an uncertain time as right now (quarantine), having my weekly meetings to look forward to really helped my weeks.”
