Read how our coaches have helped people transform & improve their lives with these life coaching testimonials that will inspire you to take action!

Jennifer was my official life coach two years ago and has been an unofficial one ever since. Our work together was genuine, challenging, and led to great results for me personally. In addition to allowing me to ‘unload’, Jennifer asked questions of me that although were difficult to answer but, helped me discover quite a bit about myself. Most importantly, her sincere and thoughtful suggestions have allowed me to make small, manageable changes in my life that since reaped great results and formulate a plan for continued growth. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone who wants to live better.

I really believe there is something for everyone at Balance Stress Management and Therapy. I enjoyed seeing the warm, private treatment rooms and meeting with the variety of therapists who specialize in many different approaches to wellness here. I attended an very informative presentation on Yoga Therapy and even after nearly twenty years of practicing music therapy, I learned so much about the therapeutic art of yoga and how I can expand my own practice. I can’t wait to go back to use the services personally and create professional connections for referrals. The community will greatly benefit from having Balance Stress Management and Therapy as a resource for wellness.

This awesome place is not only a place to workout and get fit, but also a place to get inspired. The wall sayings and reminders definitely motivate me to get going! The coaches an instructors are superb! The staff are friendly and accommodating! I am so happy that a place like this exists in Cebu!

I have known Beth for 20 years. I knew her when she was heavier, saw her struggle with her health, & saw what seemed to be sadness in her eyes at times. Don’t get me wrong, Beth has always been bubbly and fun to be around, but I could always tell she wasn’t truely happy with life. If I didn’t know Beth personally I would never believe the transformation that she has undergone. She has dropped the weight (with no surgery or crazy diet), gotten healthier, and you can see the sparkle in her eyes. She is real & the weight loss is real. If you need help & motivation to get healthy or lose weight, she is your gal!

I’ve known Beth since we were in grade school. She continues to be an inspiration and special person in my life. Her willingness to assist with getting to the heart of any challenge, rather than the “quick fix” is what has made her successful in her own healing and that of others. I highly recommend her coaching services!

Jennifer Gress has a natural gift. She has been my life coach for several months. Her intelligence, warmth, and communication skills have made our work together very productive. She has a social maturity and interpersonal skills that have allowed her to help me in any meaningful and deep way. She is very passionate in her role as a life coach and I trust her 100%. I’m obviously very glad to have Jennifer as my life coach and would recommend her to anyone.

What an amazing Life Coach Jan Stevens is. She has become a very important part of my health walk and a very important voice when I am down on myself and in deep need of guidance. Always right there with a new perspective or a new idea on how to get through a difficult time. 5 stars are not enough of a rating for what Beth Donovan has done for me. She has literally saved my life. I was on my way out of this world when I found her. That night changed me forever. I sat for many hours and days, reading through her blogs there. She had inspired me enough to get out of bed, and start moving my body more than I had been and change my eating lifestyle. I weighed 389 when I started. I have lost 154 lbs so far and have kept it off for the 1st time in my life. I only have about 60 lbs to go! I see light at the end of a very dark tunnel now. Victory is right up the road now. Thank you, Beth, for being the best coach ever, and for saving my life, one day at a time!!

I’m so excited in my final session with Kirsty we have found that i have lost 7 kgs in 3 months with her guidance. I feel more confident in myself and my ability to continue on my journey to a healthy life. Now to aim for double digit weight by end of the year. Thank you kirsty for sharing your knowledge and experiences as it helped me understand what being healthy really is.

I just finished a coaching program with Aaron and Tony. It was amazing! The ranch is a beautiful place, and all of the rooms were beautiful, clean and had everything I needed. I booked a single room and was in the main house. It was hot out, but the buildings are all air conditioned and there is a refreshing salt water pool to swim in if you need to cool down.

Aaron was wonderful to work with. There were all levels of yoga experience in the room, and he made it engaging for everyone. Adding Tony’s music to the weekend was outstanding. He is a talented and soulful musician and it’s hard to imagine the yoga and meditation without it. Both Aaron and Tony are also kind and interesting people who were a pleasure to share meals with.

And speaking of meals, the food was out of this world. Lourdes is a great cook. The meals were vegetarian, fresh, simple and incredibly flavorful. Everyone wanted to take her home. I would love to see a yoga and cooking weekend offered to teach us how to bring her style to our own kitchens. My only regret is that it wasn’t longer. This was two nights and I feel like I would need twice as long to be able to completely sink in and envelop myself in the space.

After weeks of contemplating doing a life coaching program for the first time, I finally took the plunge and went for it. I found Sagrada after researching other options in Northern California, and was immediately drawn to the intimate feel of their retreats, as well as the generous hospitality that comes with a small family-owned business. I came to Sagrada after booking at the last minute, looking for an opportunity to reset, and found so much more than what I had expected.

The space that Eva and Scott have built at Sagrada is as beautiful as all the other reviews describe. Everything about the ranch invites you to commune with nature – from the two easily-accessible hikes that are perfect for a contemplative walk, to the sublime saltwater pool that we soaked in during our free time, and the hot tub perfect for nighttime star-gazing. Our accommodations were perfect in their simplicity and coziness – I stayed at the yoga loft, which allowed me to wake up to a really sweet view of the space we practiced in each day. The food prepared by Lourdes and Ricardo was wonderful – vegetarian, healthy, delicious, and deeply nourishing.

The retreat itself, led by Leslie St. John, was incredible. Leslie’s passion for her creative craft in teaching both yoga and writing really shone through. The overall experience felt very thoughtfully designed to help us intuitively ground ourselves and explore self-intimacy in deeper ways as the weekend unfolded. Leslie was an expert at weaving movement, writing, meditation, and simple pleasures (think wine and chocolate) into a holistic, rich, and soulful experience. To sum up what it all felt like – we wrapped up the weekend with a coaching practice, which was new to us all, and found ourselves – a group of folks from very diverse walks of life – dancing freely with abandon.

5* is an insult for Aaron as he is extremely attentive to detail and takes the time to explain in full detail on how to achieve the results I want. My workout routine is what I wanted to do with my time in the gym and not some generic spreadsheet you find a life coach on the internet, entirely tailored and unique to me. Don’t hesitate. I forget Aaron is a PT and see him as a mate more than anything.

I walked away from the weekend feeling immensely grateful to have found Sagrada and to have shared such a profound experience with Leslie and the company that were with me as well. I can only hope that other retreats I take in the future can match the experience that Sagrada has so generously given me.

Honestly Thought there was “No Hope” left for me & I was destined to be Fat…morbidly so 4-ever. I cried out to God…”plzzz Help me” cause I’m tired of trying & failing-losing (only to Gain it back & then some.) I KNO Father-God put her in my Life & between Him & her I”m actually “LIVING” my Life again (as i”m losing.) The Best Feeling in the world to be successful & Stay that way! Sure I stumble still & gain now & again but Coach Beth does what only she can do…lead me outta my self destruct mode & back on track I go! Getting easier & easier as I implement her Coaching Skills…She may not be for u but I tell ya, if ur tired but have enough Ummph to give this one more u”‘ll be Sooooo Glad u did! Don’t just Think bout it…DO IT…2DAY! What do ya gotta lose… but the weight!?

In just one week, I lost several pounds and inches on the detox plan my coach recommended to me. I had hit a plateau and no matter how much i exercised or “ate right,” nothing seemed to work. After just 1 day on TLS I broke that plateau and then some. Today I’m on Day 8 and feeling great. The first few days weren’t easy, but looking back on it, 7 days on the detox were totally worth it. Now I’m on Rapid Results for the 21 day challenge and getting back into my active lifestyle. My body feels like it hit a reset button and the fat is melting day by day. Thanks @nolithia_turner for introducing me to TLS and for being such a dedicated coach. You took every text, every phone call, and gave me the affirmation I needed when the struggle to grab a bag of Oreos was real! Lol … It really is a lifestyle, not a diet, and I’ve learned so much in so little time.

I have been with Aaron for just over 6 months, I’ve learned so much with nutrition and training techniques I can really recommend Aaron as a PT and online life coach, I’ve never had an online coach before but Aaron makes it so easy from training programs to weekly check ins, anything you need to know or help Aaron is always there. He understands the different pressures of modern life to produce a tailor made program that is flexible but efficient. His genuine nature spurs motivation and makes you want to succeed!5 stars from me.

Steph has really helped to assess my crazy schedule and come up with a way to work with it. After several years of feeling “blah”, I feel well and energized again. She has given great, personal attention and I couldn’t ask for a better person to work with. Thank you.

Are you looking for an excellent life coaching program? Stephanie has it. My husband and I did her program years ago. We both put our lives back together. After I lost the weight I became pregnant twice, and I am to this day at the weight loss that I was before I became pregnant. Wronging though you might stop eating junk foods that you use to love!

Kirsty provided me with a professional service that suited my health needs. She is easy to work with and her creative approach makes the program fun and interesting. Setting health goals can be challenging, I found that working with Kirsty ensured that I not only set my health goals but achieved them.

I joined the 8 week challenge with Sila and Kirsty and loved it!! The classes were challenging yet really fun and varied. The support that you get from the online group and from Sila and Kirsty in person was amazing and 24/7. Having weekly check ins and nutrition meetings was so helpful and encouraging knowing that if you did slip up it wasn’t the end of the world, and that the odd treat was ok. I learnt so much about food and learnt to put a much healthier spin on my food. I lost a bit of weight and quite a few cm, but the most valuable thing I got out of this challenge, was a new love for life, and a much healthier way of living and eating. I couldn’t recommend Sila and her classes, and Kirsty and her nutrition enough. Thanks for giving me the kick start I needed. I can’t wait for the next challenge.
