I worked with Neshama for 7 sessions, and my life will never be the same. I came to Neshama hoping to find relief from the swirling tornado of thoughts around food and body that I was afflicted with on a moment by moment basis. One minute I'd think, "Did I eat right yesterday? What did I eat yesterday? Oh, that's right, I had two donuts. I guess I'll eat my veggies today." Or, "Did I work out yesterday? Oh, no, I was a lazy bum. No wonder I'm getting fat." Those thoughts would be immediately followed by, "Oh, my gosh, I'm so tired of worrying about this. I'm just going to stop thinking about it. And, done." Only it wasn't done, the cycle would pick up in the next moment, and I'd go through the whole thing all over again. It was exhausting.
I didn't particularly come to Neshama to find a shift in my body. I really just wanted to once and for all put an end to the toxic cycle of destructive, annoying thoughts in my head. Neshama didn't give me the answers. She didn't solve the problem for me. What she did do was mirror my own thoughts. She truly listened to what I said and helped me understand my thoughts. She helped me sit with feelings and really feel them. She helped me navigate through the tornado to my own truth that I can hold tight to. I'm not saying my work is done, but I have the tools now to continue the work on my own. And Neshama will be there for me if I need a tune up session down the road. Thanks Neshama!

I fully recommend Coach Neshama. She is warm and compassionate but perhaps even more than that, she holds s space for you that is accepting, inclusive and safe. I have always felt comfortable speaking with Neshama about very personal things. She devotes her time during your session entirely to you. She is focused completely on you with the intension of getting you to the place you want to be. I am a better person for the time I have spent with Neshama and I recommend her unconditionally.

Neshama is an awesome mind body nutrition coach who carefully listens to our personal issues around food and weight, and recommends specific short- and long-term strategies to develop eating habits that transform the way we think about food, our diet, our body image and our weight issues. Through her coaching, I have learned to slow down, enjoy my food more and be more mindful about what I put in my body, and where and how I am eating. She has helped me select better food choices that cut down on stomach upset. As a result, I feel healthier; food tastes better; and I am making better decisions around eating regularly in a relaxed way rather than rushing through meals in my car. I am more satisfied with less food intake.

I was introduced to Neshama at a very shaky and uncertain part of my life. I have struggled for years with constant upset stomach and digestive problems and nothing seemed to explain it or help fix it. Coach Neshama introduced an entirely different approach to my eating habits that not only changed how I felt but that was also actually doable and easy to make into a lifestyle change. Through her coaching, I began to realize how simple things like slowing down and really enjoying my food not only affected my digestive problems but also increased my energy and helped with chronic stress and anxiety. Neshama completely changed my approach to food and now I really enjoy what I eat and love seeing the way nutrition impacts my life in all areas.
Neshama is an excellent coach and will take the time to truly understand your needs and listen to what works best for you. She provides a practical approach and turns healthy eating into such a positive experience.
I can't thank her enough!

Coach Neshama provides a thoughtful, informed, practical and supportive approach to the joy of healthy eating. She begins with encouraging common sense affirming changes -- eat a little more slowly, choose better, tastier and healthier foods, and enjoy the flavor and feelings that accompany healthy eating. That's what our bodies want and need. By giving attention to the natural cravings and the nourishing foods and flavors, our bodies respond with what we all hope for -- good health. Give Coach Neshama a try, and you'll enjoy better food and better health, more happily.

My approach to food much of my life was not for enjoyment but out of necessity, I can't ever remember eating for enjoyment. I ate fast so I could get my share before it was gone. I ate fast at work because we only had a half hour for lunch, I ate fast because it's all I ever have known. It was at age 57 that I have learned to slow down and enjoy my meals, to enjoy the life giving substance that food is. To think of food with love of life and family. My approach to food is now a process I share with my wife and family, I'm bonding and being nourished. At the same time. My fire is burning in so many ways at a new level of thought, that it starts the digestive system in the proper way.

When I began working with Neshama and trying to understand the psychology of my eating, I hated everything about food - and had for many years. I obsessed about food, making up rules about what I could or couldn’t eat, punishing myself with food, or withdrawing "reward food” if was “bad.” I agonized for hours over one cookie. I also never actually looked at or acknowledged the food I ate: I read my book instead or watched TV. No wonder I was so unhappy - and hungry all the time even though I eat mostly well. But, from my first meeting with Neshama, so much of that changed. Immediately, her relaxed, calm approach put me at ease and I felt safe giving voice to fears, hates, ambivalences around food that I didn’t even know I had.
She is compassionate and kind and real and honest and provided a safe space for me to begin looking honestly at what I’d been doing to myself without judgement. She’s also great - great! - at putting my words altogether and repeating them back to me in a way that allows me to really hear what I’m saying and thinking; her words land in a way my saying them never does. Through her I hear my desire to stop this cycle; I hear how much I yearn for the change; for pleasure. Neshama has also been instrumental in helping me form goals I feel represent me and are actually achievable. Four months later, how I approach food, diet, eating, health and so many other parallel experiences in my life that have nothing to do with food has improved immeasurably - profoundly, really.
