I get asked this question a lot. What IS a health coach? Are they the same as nutritionists? Why does one need to work with a health coach? And what is it that health coaches do with their clients? Let me break it all down for you......
People are always wondering how we can enjoy our meals while eating healthy. I can’t blame them. We all grew up to think that healthy means boring, green and not so delicious. But I’m here to break that myth! Here’s an example of one of our Sunday meals....
I have loved working with Danna! I have struggled with weight, emotional eating, and hating myself for most of my life. I couldn’t explain I’m just one post what freedom I have become from joining Danna’s program. I gave up conventional dieting 2 years ago.. and swore I would never return. I have managed to change my life around and feel so supported from Danna and everyone in the group. Don’t let fear stop you this time! You can and will be successful in changing how you and you family eat and function.
I can highly recommend Danna. From the beginning I was fascinated with Danna’s recipes because not only are they very healthy but also they are very tasty! I love this combination! Ever since I started working with Dana I have mostly stopped eating gluten because I realized that it makes me tired. I would never have thought that I could live without bread, but Danna showed me so many different options to eat other healthy and delicious foods instead. I generally feel more energized and it feels so good to eat healthy food. Danna always answers any of my questions super fast and is a continuous inspiration for new recipes for me. It has enriched my life. Thank you Danna.
I loved my program with Danna where I learnt so much about food in general and building healthy habits (and keeping them!). I came in with an open mind and was surprised by how much this has added value into my life, specifically in healing my relationship with food as well as helping me provide my toddler with great foundations moving forward. It was a very fun, interactive and challenging (in a great way) program. Danna is super approachable and supportive – I would highly recommend working with her.
When I started working with Danna, I was always exhausted to the point of tears. I was also suffering from anxiety, insomnia and chronic pain, and was unable to lose any weight. She not only guided me and my family to make healthier choices on our diet, but also coached me into a better and more balanced lifestyle. She also encouraged me to push my doctors for answers, and I’ve found out I am coeliac. Danna was then essential to our transition to being a gluten-free household, offering plenty of healthy alternatives that became our new staples. Her programme was the best investment I’ve made for my own health and well being, and also my family’s!
The Urban Cleanse program with Danna was the beginning of my lifestyle change. Through Danna’s great support and championing, I have learnt over time that little and bigger steps were bringing me very far away on my journey toward improved health. Danna is a wonderful coach: she is patient and committed, she listens and she fully understood when I was having hard time and facing challenges (the journey was not always easy for me!). She constantly looked for solutions and tips to support me, championing me and gaining my trust. Before meeting her, I was convinced to know a lot about health and wellbeing but Danna made me discover much more and truly helped me to find a NEW ME. I am really grateful: thanks Danna!
Before I met Danna , I had had 2 years of food intolerance symptoms such as nausea, bloating and dizziness on top of being diagnosed with auto-immune disease (Hashimoto). It felt very daunting to start a diet, let alone which guidelines to follow!
Danna was instrumental to get me started in an elimination diet. Her tailor-made coaching meant I could gradually change my diet and find out what did and what didn’t work for me and my body. She was as much of an emotional support as a widely knowledgeable expert in nutrition. She also helped me to shop for products available in Switzerland and provided a wide range of recipes I could get inspired from.
Today my symptoms have almost completely stopped. I feel confident and empowered in keeping up with this new lifestyle – feeding my body with the food that most benefits it!
Thanks again Danna for the incredible work you are doing!
After following Danna for years I finally took action and started working with her when I found myself going through an extremely stressful period. I was in a toxic workplace, preparing for yet another international move, and just feeling generally overwhelmed as a busy mom of young children. Danna brought hope and light to my situation. She provided a safe space and always had helpful tips, tricks, and suggestions to help immediately improve whatever was going on- but also thoughtfulness for long-term success.
I am 40+ social media manager at www.zsuzsannajavor.com, a working mum of 2 in peri-menopause, with occasional brain fog and lack of energy.
I have been following Danna for some years now and I knew I wanted to do this program sometime, so the end of this year seemed like a good time.
Danna is intelligent, smart, very human, relatable with a great sense of humour. She knows EVERYTHING about healthy nutrition, ingredients, sources, allergies, remedies and the way she shares her expertise is easily understandable and applicable to everyday life.
I actually don’t like ‘doing programs’, but Danna’s way of communication, expertise, abundance of information, videos, home remedies, personalised suggestions, recipes, shopping lists, etc. makes the whole program legit, reliable, useful, helpful and super supportive.
I became very aware of what is good and not so good for me. I already have more energy and I intend to keep up everything I learnt from her in the long run.
What would I tell someone who’s considering working with Danna?
Just do it already. It will change your life and relationship with food for the way better. And it works in the long-run.
We had moved from the USA to Switzerland and I struggled to lose the weight I had put on because of the stress that came with it. I was tired all the time, my digestion was not working as it should, I had no energy at all.
I met Danna through a mutual network and decided to listen what her program was all about. I decided to take the step and I am so glad I did. Danna really made me think deeper, she encouraged me to look for more answers by recommending other professionals, and she expertly coached me through a rather challenging period. On top of all that, she is a treasure trove of useful tips and resources.
I now know exactly what to keep in mind to maintain my health. I feel lighter, I have more energy, I sleep better, and as a nice bonus I lost quite a bit of weight.
Hi all, I want to describe a short story of a big life change.
Before meeting Danna, I had a complex of health problems. not only the overweight and unhealthy eating, but also the lack of encourage and motivation for change. So I had an intro call with Danna and decided to give it a try.
What I really liked since the beginning was: you are not only given advice, but only the full justification on why so. Once you understand the underlying science, it is way more easy to follow (should I mention I am a scientist?)). Also, you are given advice along with the instruments on how to do this all in your normal life. Oh yes, that helped, too 🙂 from the receipts up to the shopping list, oh that saves time (and motivation, too)).
My main goal was actually to quit the artificial sugar, which I was trying to do for a year until then. And so… I eventually did it and I am incredibly proud of myself! And my expectations were exceed when I realized how I have changed the way I eat.
Oh it was not the first program I joined, and not the first time I had a goal of loosing my weight… No need to say I never really succeed before, I never actually had a sustainable approach, and this is why I was here.
So my overall advice is really to give it a try. If you are reading this review (until the end), then you are probably already motivated enough to start. So all the best luck, be ready to change your life!
I started just at the right time with Danna’s program. I always liked to eat, but I had zero ideas what to cook… Danna opened up so much more variety how to prepare veggies and make them the star of your meal and not just a side dish. Thanks to Danna, I also enjoy cooking now and our dishes offer way more variety. The great thing about her is, she gives you the complete experience, from meal planning to tips & tricks for preparation, how to “healthyfy” recipes you already like and how to make delicious snacks and nibbles one can enjoy without feeling bad. And always with her personal attention to you and your needs. Thank you Danna, I can absolutely recommend you. Your program is work and needs commitment, yes, but thanks to your persistence the result has been life-changing! I need less sleep and in general I feel fitter, because my body doesn’t have to struggle with the “wrong” food.
As a Functional Medicine practitioner I’m super picky on who I work with. Danna is simply amazing at what she does. I have sent her my patients with confidence, knowing that they are always well taken care of. If you are looking for a health coach, someone to guide you with your nutrition, or simply someone that can help you achieve a better state of health, then Danna is your gal. Oh, and she has some awesome online programs as well. Don’t forget to check them out!
Danna has made a significant change to how we eat as a whole family. She has shaped the way we approach food and more important the skills we pass on to our children about nutrition. I love her inspiration, recipes and ideas. She is competent and was always passionate to find the right solution for us. Thanks so much Danna for all your support! I can highly recommend working with Danna!
