Feeling Good Again

I really enjoyed working with Danna. I was struggling with not feeling good in my body and Danna helped me change my eating, gave me very interesting insights, so that I feel good again. She understood my problem right away and her thorough analysis could help with creating a plan that fit to me and my family’s life style. I would highly recommend her advisory everybody who is ready for a healthy change and to eat wonderful food again.

From Cookophobe to Cookophile

This morning I cooked an omlette for my boyfriend and myself. So I made this omlette with your teachings in mind… The critical moment is when he puts the first bite in his mouth. I trust his judgement as he is a good cook with fine taste buds. I waited until he took in the first mouthful. And he said, yes this is good, nice mixture of vegetables and taste. He was approving and enjoyed it. At that moment, my first thought was for you and how in 2018, you took me from cookophobe to cookophile. That I feel more confident and bold in the kitchen and that I take initiatives. That thanks to you, I feel like I am speaking the language of food – not fluent yet, but speaking and enjoying it. And no longer feeling like a stranger in my own kitchen. Thank you – you planted some cooking seeds and they are growing, slowly but steadily.

Amazing Program

Thank you again for your amazing program. It gave me so much knowledge about a healthy lifestyle. I have learnt a lot from you. This is not only a simple menu plan what you have provided us. You have taught us so many important things about my body and health. I love your menus as it is totally suitable for all my family. Healthy food doesn’t mean to be boring. The recipes are very delicious and easy to prepare. I found  the shopping list amazing and it made my life so much easier. I could plan my whole week easily. I love intermittent fasting, my body loves it. I will continue it for a longer term. Your weekly meetings were very motivational and we have received all the relevant information. The only challenge I faced was Easter. A person like me, who is struggling  with continuity needs 3 weeks without any Holidays. I have started the program again and I am sure that I can implement it into my daily life.

Can’t Recommend it Enough

Danna’s 30 Day Urban Cleanse is amazing and I can’t recommend it enough if you want to cut cravings and live a healthy lifestyle! It helped me break my sugar addition and to find healthy alternatives to gluten and dairy products that I used to think were impossible to give up. I have more energy, better focus and can feel my body telling me what it needs (and what it doesn’t!). The weekly meal plans provide delicious, easy to make recipes for the whole family to eat so you don’t need to make different meals…and you don’t feel hungry or restricted! My favorite part of the cleanse was the weekly zoom calls and Whatsapp group where we could ask questions, share recipes and support each other. I’m normally the type of person who would try to do this on my own by creating a meal plan with all the “healthy” cookbooks I own, but I always fell off the wagon after a week of being “really good”. Danna’s system works because it incorporates accountability, the time needed to get into a healthy routine and delicious recipes to keep you on track. I would recommend this for anyone who has struggled with sticking to healthy eating and wants a life change!

Transition Into a Mindful and Healthy Lifestyle

Danna is a very resourceful and inspiring health coach and a pleasure to work with. She has been helping me strengthen the transition into a mindful and healthy lifestyle. I love food and I pay a lot of attention to what I eat, but I was missing a way to make it a nutritious indulgence without preparing meals for many hours a day. Danna has this amazing way of bringing this all together and making it a sustainable change.

Danna Brought Hope and Light

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 Feel More Empowered

I’ve loved working with Danna and learning so much about nutrition. I feel so much more empowered in the kitchen now and that confidence results in trying new things, being much more relaxed and feeling happy that my small girls (and my husband and I) are being exposed to new flavours and experiences. I definitely eat a lot more veggies, less dairy and little sugar. Its fun trying new veggies and discovering curious things about my tastebuds (I hate raw fennel but LOVE it roasted) It’s definitely a process of continual learning and I’m so glad to be plugged into the Facebook group which re-inspires and encourages me. So a big thanks Danna for your enthusiasm and energy in giving me a new attitude and aptitude for healthy eating and living!

Without Feeling Restricted

The main reason I chose Danna’s Urban Cleanse program was because I wanted tangible steps for eating in a healthier way that supports my body, mind and wellbeing. There is so much information out there, and I did not want to spend a lot of time and energy figuring it out on my own, especially considering all the contradicting advice. What I particularly loved was learning how to make healthier choices when it comes to nutrition, that I can actually sustain long term without feeling restricted. After the program ended, I decided to keep implementing the changes that best fit my lifestyle and preferences, and I noticed that my body fat percentage has been steadily declining; again, without feeling restricted.

I Was Very Sceptical

To be very honest, I was very sceptical before I started and was convinced I could also do it on my own. The result: I gained weight and I felt worse.  I underestimated the fact that I needed the support. Not only that, Danna got me to do things I was convinced I would not be able to do: quit Diet Coke to a point that I do not even like it anymore, changed to a healthier lifestyle and even started intermitted fasting.

The good thing about the program is that you learn how to adopt a healthy lifestyle without skipping specific foods completely. This makes it easy to fit in my  life. If I want to eat pizza, I eat pizza! I even do not feel guilty about it  It was the guilt that always made me go back to the old (unhealthy) lifestyle in the past. “I failed anyway, so it does not matter anymore”. Danna taught me that there is no such thing as failing and that you can enjoy unhealthy moments without feeling bad about yourself. As long as you go back to eating healthy after it.
She also taught me that eating healthy is not complicated or difficult and that it even tastes good!

The biggest result for me is the way I feel. Yes, I lost weight and that feels good, but the unexpected increase in the way I feel is incredible. Apparently, before I started the program,  I had this basic feeling of not feeling well that I did not even notice, because it was just there. Now that I feel so much better, I notice more what an impact “bad choices” have on my health, mood and energy levels. During the day I feel better and at night I still have plenty of energy left to do stuff. I also notice that I am less sick or that when I feel sick it takes less time to overcome it.

Thank you Danna for this! It was really a turn around for me. Oh, and the biggest thank you for putting up with my scepticism  “no Danna, I can`t do that, it is just not for me”… but hey, you were always right

Got Back In Shape!

I can’t recommend enough Danna’s 30 Day Urban Cleanse! I learnt so much with her in such practical way. I had fun through the process, learnt new delicious recipes (that came to stay in my menu!), got amazing tips of local products and on the top of that: got back in shape! I thought 30 days wouldn’t be enough to change my habits, but it actually was! I thank myself everyday I decided to be part of it! I definitely want to be part of other programs of Danna’s soon!
