Joined the program very skeptical

Meet Franziska (Fränzi) Linder. Fränzi joined my program very skeptical. Never mind that she didn’t believe eating more would actually help her lose weight, but she didn’t believe she would actually find the time to cook healthier in the little time she has left during the week! I’m happy to report that Fränzi has meanwhile lost 10kg and still going strong!! The rest, you should hear from her 🙂

Just do it Already!

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.

The Transformation Is Inspiring!

Meet Hédi Gyarmati. Hédi and her husband approached me a year ago, with their adorable baby boy on tow, asking for help. They have decided to lean towards a plant based diet, but they had no clue on how to actually go about it. What ingredients are the supposed to use? What would be healthy for both them and their baby? How could they provide the entire family with nutritious meals but still have time to tend to the little human who’s growing before their eyes? Hédi had a pretty rough relationship with cooking, something that started at a young age already, and brought back some heavy feelings and memories for her. This meant that her husband was the main cook in the house, and she wanted to change that around. The transformation that’s been happening in Hédi’s household is inspiring! Check out what she has to say about working with me 🙂

Feeling more energized and happy

Meet Angela (Angie) Menendez. Angie joined my three month program after struggling to find the motivation to encourage her family to eat healthier, and not being completely sure what “healthier” even meant. They would often just do it the ‘easy’ way and go with what they knew the kids would eat, which pretty much meant pasta, bread, cheese etc… In addition, Angie also noticed that her 7 year old son’s eczema on both legs was getting worse. He would itch and scratch miserably, even in his sleep! This was the final push that made her determined to change it all. The progress both Angie and her whole family made is simply amazing. The beginning wasn’t easy, but now the kids have become a lot more adventurous, eating things they wouldn’t even look at before. Her son’s eczema has disappeared, and the whole family is feeling more energized and happy. Angie is happy that she’s on the path to a healthier lifestyle, and doesn’t have to spend too long in the kitchen. Sounds like a win-win for everyone if you ask me 🙂

Wealth of Knowledge

Thank you Danna for your fabulous Urban Cleanse programme. I found your wealth of knowledge and easy to follow family recipes amazing. There are many sustainable eating habits that I will continue to follow. As a fitness trainer, I know that health and fitness go hand in hand and its amazing to fuel your body the right way for you and you gave us the opportunity and guidance to do so. Mindful eating is my take-away.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A Significant Change

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!
