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!

Healing My Relationship With Food

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.

My Whole Family Has Benefited

Do you know the quote ‘common sense, common knowledge but not common practice’ well I thought there was an element of that when I first began working with Danna but she brings so much more to the table. She is a font of knowledge and the little person on my shoulder saying ‘is that a good idea when planning a meal or snack?’ I have made lifestyle changes that I can stick to and more importantly make me feel good. My whole family has benefited. My husband is loving the meals and healthy treats and Danna has actually helped my daughter with specific issues so we are all very grateful, she definitely goes the extra mile. Don’t think about it, sign up and work with Danna and Organilicious

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.

A Great Way to Kick-Start a Healthy Lifestyle

The 30-day urban cleanse is a great way to kick-start a healthy lifestyle change. The recipes are easy to follow and delicious – even my picky kids liked (most) of them. Danna’s fantastic support made me feel more motivated and confident in the kitchen than ever before.

1.5 weeks into the program

I’ve often thought about moving to a healthier lifestyle, but was never sure where to start and it seemed like a lot of effort. However, in her Urban Cleanse Danna made it really easy and fun to do. She gave lots of clear advice throughout and was very generous in the knowledge she shared with us. We had lots of delicious and ‘doable’ recipes to try and doing it with a supportive group made it fun. I believe I’ve been able to make some big and lasting changes for the health of myself and my family going forward.

A Whole New World

I started working with Danna last year, where we focused together on 3 very specific goals – to have a better handle on the foods that would provide me with energy, experience better sleep and have consistently a more diverse range of healthy recipes to create in the kitchen. In the time we worked together I not only achieved those goals but can confidently say the experience really opened up a whole new world for me, and the best part about all of this is it continues to evolve. When Danna talks about her goals of creating sustainable lifestyle changes, she truly delivers. I have become more curious and mindful about the type of food I choose to eat and provide to my family, what I cook and the way I cook has completely changed and I genuinely really enjoy being in the kitchen. I have a different understanding of what my own body needs and I know what food makes me feel good and which doesn’t and I can now make informed choices around that understanding. And through it all I only feel like I have gained from the experience – there has been no feeling of cutting out or abstaining or missing out. It has been a truly wonderful journey which I encourage everyone to take, you owe it to yourself!

A New and Different Perspective

Danna has helped both myself and my family to discover new and simple ways to eat and be healthy. Her suggestions and tips together with her continuing support has encouraged and motivated us to try new things and look at food from a new and different perspective. I would highly recommend Danna as a knowledgeable, understanding and dedicated health coach, thanks Danna!

It’s Not a Diet!

I’m very thankful that I made the decision to start the nutrition program with Danna, because it’s teaching me to love myself again, love my body again, it’s unlike all the other nutrition programs I tried before. It’s not a diet, but it’s actually learning about food. It really is about a healthy lifestyle. Danna actually works with you for your specific needs. Thank you Danna, for your amazing work, for helping me, for motivating me, for always being there for me as a coach and constantly teaching me. I definitely recommend Danna’s program to everybody who wants to learn what a truly healthy lifestyle means, without depriving themselves of anything, but truly just learning to connect with the body, to actually care about what you put in your body, with what you eat and seeing that it’s not such a big deal. You can start to love food!

You’re Worth It!

I first met Danna in February 2019. I had recently lost both my parents and split up with my long term girlfriend. In the grip of depression, I had stopped all fitness related activities, cut myself off from most of my friends, was binge eating badly & pretty much struggling to find a reason to continue. Needless to say, the first session was difficult and I remember struggling to keep it together as I Skyped her from a hotel in Scotland.

From that low-point, Danna has been one of a small group of people who helped bring me back from the brink. Working together on a daily basis (WhatsApp, Cara), she initially started to change my approach to nutrition, step by step … from reducing my coffee intake (14 a day with cream and sugar!), to moving to a balanced plate (50% carbs, 25% good fat, 25% protein), sourcing fresh, non-processed produce, to using “good” fat and eliminating dairy products, introducing time restricted eating and adopting a plant-based diet… among a 100 other things!
Our initial 6-month engagement was interrupted by a serious health issue … a triple bypass…. and I had to suspend our sessions which she agreed to without hesitation. However, during this time, Danna stayed in touch throughout and checked in with me multiple times during and after my operation to offer her support. Indeed, I remember a large crate of fruit arriving at the hospital the day I was moved from the intensive care unit with a kind note to enjoy!

Fast forward one year. We still meet bi-weekly. She still checks what I eat daily, offers feedback, advice and occasionally kicks my ass when I need it. Thanks to her (and that small group of specialists who helped me in so many ways), I’m largely free of my depression (I still have the occasional bad day). I eat largely a plant based diet and am much more selective about my food. My binge eating has dramatically decreased and my weight is stable and decreasing. I’m back training at the gym 3-4 times per week. I’m engaged again with all my friends and I’ve found the joy in living again!

So, thank you Danna from the bottom of my heart. I would not be here without your efforts, advice, humor and friendship. And, if you are reading this and find yourself struggling and identifying with some of the issues I mention, I can only recommend her in the highest possible terms. Hire her. It will make a difference. And, don’t forget – you’re worth it.
