CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Amy, Mum of 2
“I’ve been making lifestyle changes now for around 8 weeks and I’ve noticed a massive difference in myself.
My aim wasn't to lose weight, but I’ve lost just under a stone and now fit in the clothes I used to love before my two babies.
Overall I feel less constipated and less bloated. I also feel a lot less sluggish and it’s made me feel good and proud for wanting to take care of myself, as well as my two small humans.
I’m honestly clueless about looking at ingredients and knowing what to watch out for and Simona has guided me through ingredient labels, she’s also shared breakfast options and healthy and easy recipe ideas.
My GP had me on iron tablets for over a year for my deficiency and my levels hadn't improved - but with dietary guidance from Simona, my iron levels have DOUBLED!
I feel like it’s a spiral of positive change that once you enter in, it gets easier and easier and also addictive!
You want to keep making small incremental changes for a better more wholesome life.”
Sarah, Mum of 2
“What can I say about working with Simona? She has literally helped me change my life.
I've had 8 sessions in total and I’m still only a few months in - but the changes in myself are huge.
I have lost weight (not that that was a goal, but I feel and look trimmer), I have more energy, I’m less hungry and don’t snack the same.
My taste buds have changed so now when I eat processed foods they taste revolting - which makes the changes so much easier to stick to.
My baby is still waking up frequently but I’m sleeping better and I still feel quite rested and have energy.
Don’t get me wrong, there are still times when I feel tired, stressed and overwhelmed - but I can’t imagine how much harder I would be finding it if I hadn’t made all these changes.
Simona is amazing at championing us mums - her support has been second to none. She provides help and answers questions between sessions. She listens to exactly what it is you find hard about making changes and works with you to find a solution. Simona gives you easy to tackle changes, she breaks it down and explains exactly why the changes are important and how they will help.
I am so very thankful for the work I’ve done with you Simona, thank you so much.”
Rebecca, Mum of 2
“Simona has been incredible in my postpartum recovery.
During our coaching session Simona listened intently, validated my feelings and in conjunction with providing me with expert advice, she was consistent in reminding me that I was the expert, as I knew my body best. This felt extremely important, especially in the context of post birth where at times I felt unseen and unsure of my options.
She has supported me to understand the best ways to optimise my health and nutrition and with her guidance, I am now making healthy choices that fuel me to feel strong and energised.
Simona considers the whole picture working with empathy and tackling your health niggles holistically.
She understands and values healing from within and has inspired me to make time to look after myself more.
Simona advised me to get some further testing from my GP and coached me on how to request tests as she understood the system that had previously been dismissive to me.
Working with Simona has prompted me to question how lacking our postnatal care system is.
Simona’s advice has felt like how I imagine guidance from an elder in a close community would feel - supportive and warm.
I cannot recommend Simona’s health coaching enough.
Thank you!”
Kristina, Mum of 2
“Simona gently guided me through the process and I felt very safe and comfortable.
Having the opportunity to talk about my health extensively really helped me gain an insight into my lifestyle choices and well being.
Simona picked up on various symptoms of nutritional deficiencies, which I had no clue about and supported me to get the appropriate blood tests from my GP. Simona also guided me towards lifestyle changes, giving me small achievable targets, which are now fully implemented into my daily routine and have had a big impact on my everyday functions - such as feeling less tired through the day, having more energy and sleeping better night.
Overall Simona's coaching has really helped me make changes to my daily routine which have been having a very positive impact on my mental and physical health.
I honestly recommend Health Coaching with Simona to everyone.”
Helen, Mum of 1
“I had an amazing experience with Simona.
I wasn't sure what a Health Coach could do but I have to say the support has been mind blowing.
I went to Simona for some quick advice on how to help me balance my hormones better. And what actually happened is I ended up with some really comprehensive advice and information on replenishing my gut microbiome (destroyed through many rounds of antibiotics).
It had become apparent through the consultation that my hormonal health directly related to my gut health, which even though I had ongoing gut issues I had totally deprioritised due to getting no real help from my GP. Just to say I am the biggest fan of the NHS but I don't think the resources are in place to work holistically with patients, particularly when the answer might be nutrition rather than medication!
And so I now have a plan in place around good nutrition coming directly from a wider range of food. I was given practical tips on how to speak to my GP about certain issues and I even have some really practical advice about what to include on my shopping list!
All in all the experience has been brilliant and after 4 weeks of following the plan I already feel on the road to gut and hopefully hormonal recovery!
Thank you Simona!”
Maria, Mum of 1
“I found Simona through Instagram and worked with her for 3 months.
I felt fully at ease with Simona from the get go. She is helpful, understanding, and supportive.
I was blown away by the depth and breadth of her knowledge.
I loved that we worked together towards my goals, one step at a time, with easy manageable tasks.
Simona really took away a huge stress in my life.
She gave me all the information and support I was looking for, meaning I could spend less time researching and more time with my husband and our little girl.
I achieved each of my goals, two of which were gaining weight and getting my period back after giving birth to my daughter two years ago.
I would highly recommend working with Simona, she is absolutely fantastic!
Thank you Simona, you have changed my mindset regarding food and health and I'm feeling so much better for it.”
Kelly, Mum of 3
“Not only have I felt a physical change in myself and the symptoms I was experiencing, I’ve gained an unexpected confidence and mindset that it is okay to prioritise myself.
It got to a point where the stress, anxiety, extreme exhaustion and headaches became overwhelming.
I’ve been a people pleaser my entire life and when I became a mother I felt it exaggerated this trait and I continually put myself last.
The first step was hardest, it wasn’t in my nature and I felt almost selfish even thinking about coaching that was just for me. But I soon noticed a difference in myself and my children and knew it was absolutely the right thing.
Simona is knowledgable, kind, patient and gets to know your past, present and your hopes for the future. She tailors the coaching with all this in mind so it is personal and exactly what you need and can cope with in that moment.
There’s no pressure just fact based coaching and plans that are easy to follow and implement - even with three children!
By prioritising yourself, you’re prioritising your children because you are their world, their role model, their life source and the person they look to for how to view themselves.
If we want to break a generational cycle of downtrodden mothers, then we must start to put ourselves first and let our children see this too.”
Olivia, Mum of 2
“I contacted Simona when my youngest was just three months old because after the birth of my eldest I had all these strange symptoms - muscle spasms, numbness, sensitivity to noise, blurred visions and extreme dizziness.
The GP was concerned I had an autoimmune disease and I spent months being tested to be told in the end everything was 'normal'.
I was relieved I didn't have a life altering condition but confused why I felt like I did.
In one of our early sessions Simona talked me through and explained how my birth history could have caused a whole host of symptoms and as she described them a penny dropped - these symptoms where EXACTLY what I had suffered with!
I never told Simona but I cried after that session.
It gave me this sudden rush of relief that it wasn't my fault at all. From that moment on I felt like much less of a failure and I realised by taking control of my health I was going to be rewarded in every aspect of my life.
When I signed up to the process I was also suffering with reoccurring infections and long term bloating and indigestion. I was relying on over the counter medication but it wasn’t helping at all.
I also had a real reliance on sugar to get me through my days and this had been all I had ever known.
During the process, the sugar cravings had gone with a week or so - which amazed me, as I had tried everything in the past.
Then the indigestion and bloating went completely and by the end of the 3 month coaching period, the infections were occurring less and less and now I feel confident that these will only get better as I keep up with the changes.
What I was surprised to find throughout the whole process was how simple it was.
Simona wasn’t asking me to make complicated lifestyle changes - in fact it was the complete opposite.
She stripped it all back for me and set me really clear, small steps each session.
Throughout my sessions, Simona would gently and so sincerely ask how I was - which always choked me up a bit. Turns out us mums don't get asked this that often!
If I were to ever get pregnant again, I would add Simona to my non negotiable ‘must haves’ - as without her I think this postpartum could have been as hard, if not harder than my fist!
I could go on and on...
To say this process has changed me is an understatement, so thank you so much, Simona.”
Lauren, Mum of 2
“I loved my time working with Simona.
I had been struggling for years with feeling tired and sluggish at certain times of the day, particularly since having my second child.
Simona identified what might be causing this and helped me to find sustainable solutions.
Our regular calls were very valuable.
Simona immediately made me feel safe and understood, and she was able to let me go at my own pace while keeping me on track and motivated to make gradual changes over time.
I’m now able to navigate my day without relying on sugar to get me through and I have much more energy to juggle everything.
I know my time with Simona will prove to be a turning point in my (and my family’s) health."
Emma, Mum of 1
“A couple of months after returning to work, I reached a point of overwhelm, with constant fatigue, feeling flat, short fused, stress overload and heavy menstrual periods.
I went to the doctor to check my bloods but they came back as standard, so I reached out to Simona, and I’m so glad I did.
Her approach was realistic for busy mums, encouraging and comforting. So often we blame ourselves for not being good enough or not coping, but Simona validated how I was feeling both physically and mentally and supported me to make small changes that have had a big impact.
Her insight and knowledge really helped me to drown out the constant noise we hear on social media about what we should be doing and her 1-1 sessions gave me a space to focus on my needs and enabled me to be more mindful day to day about what I needed to support my wellbeing.
Over the three months I feel less stressed, I’ve got more energy, easier periods and I have an overarching sense of ease again.
If you’re on the fence about working with Simona, know that its not restrictive and not a big overhaul in your day to day, it’s about focusing on you and your needs as a Mother but also as a woman in your own right.
My partner also said it was money well spent!
Thanks so much for doing what you do."
Lisa, Mum of 2
“I can't say enough how grateful I am that I listened to whatever little intuition I was in touch with at the time when I decided that I needed help and it wasn't going to come from me.
God knows, I was trying to do the best I could with my nutrition - and that made it so much more frustrating that my health was declining.
It had gotten to the point where my brain fog was so heavy that at times I couldn't even focus visually on things... Let alone mentally.
I used to be fit and spritely with stamina and energy to carry me through the whole day. Now I struggled to carry the shopping into the house, let alone lift my children to cuddle them.
I was down. No amount of meditation or all my usual spiritual practices could lift my spirits and keep them that way.
I was often experiencing rage, irrational impatience and anxiety.
I felt like I had lost my connection to the Divine.
My skin was dry and ageing, my hair was falling out.
I started to experience inexplicable symptoms in my body that the GPs couldn't diagnose.
I cannot express enough how relieving it is, when you've lost confidence in yourself to be able to trust someone implicitly with your health and experience the transformative results of their guidance restoring you back to the person you were meant to be.
Like Simona says - you are not broken. Your body is your ally and it's doing everything it can to keep you going.
What it needs from you is the highly subjective support, nutrition and care that it's so hard to figure out on your own.
Working with Simona over 4 months, she created a manageable step by step program to rehabilitate my health and restore my nutritionally depleted body.
I learned an astonishing amount about my body in those 4 months.
For all my own research, so much of the guidance was completely foreign to me.
I had been looking in all the wrong places.
For all my good intent, I was completely misguided.
Simona also helped me look inside to my own intuition and encouraged me to let go of some of my highly damaging addictive behaviours, that I was in denial about.
Of course addictions can be incredibly deep rooted and a very personal journey but understanding the science behind the damage of the addictive substances was mind blowing and encouraged me to look further into the science...this research in itself became addictive for me.
This is the kind of knowledge that once you know, you can't unknow.
Being a deeply feeling person, I never in my life expected science to be the answer to my addictive habits.
Simona was very patient with my progress even though I found it challenging at times, once my health started to improve, to stick to the guidelines.
She's very personable and I absolutely love that she does what she does because she is compelled to do it, based on her own personal experience - Empowering mothers to reclaim the birthright of excellent health in mind, body and soul!
I dread to think where I would be now if I hadn't made the decision to work with Simona.
I'm now stronger than I've been in years.
I can lift up my kids and my husband too.
I'm so focused and confident that I've finally taken the plunge and started a course for a new career that I've been wanting to do for years but I hadn't the self-belief or focus to do it.
I have no more strange health symptoms and my mood is much more regulated.
My highs are much higher. My lows are much more manageable.
Working with Simona was genuinely one of the best decisions I've ever made."
