• Please tell us a bit about what motivated you to start your health and wellness journey.

“With the new year, I wanted to start doing better for myself. I feel it is easy to put ourselves on the backburner when life is happening, and I wanted to stop doing that so I can feel better about myself.”

• How has your journey impacted other aspects of your life?

“I think this has helped me be kinder to myself.”

• What were some of the initial challenges you faced, and how did you overcome them?

“My initial challenge was learning about the portion sizes for things. I have never weighed my food or measured out my sauces. With the meal plans and being told how much of things I should have helped me overcome it.”

• Please share any significant milestones or achievements that you’re particularly proud of.

“I am proud of myself for starting and continuing this journey to see the progress.”

• How have the coaches helped you on your journey?

“Coach Dephne has helped me through times where I felt like I was not making progress. She reminded me that I need to talk kinder to myself and that they aren’t expecting perfection. If things happen, we just have to make sure to get back on track.”

• What are your future goals for your health and wellness?

“To feel good about myself and to continue to use what I am learning.”

• What advice would you give to someone just starting out on their own health and wellness journey?

“Starting a health journey I think, is exciting. However, there can be a reality of it being hard. At least that is what it was like for me and the biggest thing I needed to give myself was grace. My coach told me to talk to myself and encourage myself like I would to my friends and that has truly helped me.”

• What kind of advice would you give someone who initially has a barrier to joining Peak Wellness due to financial reasons?

“I needed to look at this opportunity as an investment into my health and into something that will make me happier/proud.”
