"Ivonne has led me to places I’ve never been before with my body and mind. My weight had spiraled well above 200 lbs and my health was declining when I finally asked Ivonne to work with me. Ivonne never shamed me about my sedentary lifestyle, eating habits or my weight. She went to work on a ‘realistic’ plan and helped me formulate health goals. She provided me with structure and flexibility. I could still eat at gatherings, on vacation, when craving, when emotional and when I simply needed to cheat. I never felt deprived. Ivonne also met me where I was on the workout spectrum when I expressed concerns about weight training at my age. She created a beginner level workout plan that never left me feeling overwhelmed. Ivonne reassessed my nutrition and workout plans regularly to make adjustments according to how my body was responding. She has made this a truly personal experience and I am beyond pleased with my results. Because of Ivonne’s support and systematic approach, I have a healthier relationship with food, a craving for movement and a knowledge to fall back on whenever I need to get back to basics. Thanks, Ivonne, for teaching me that it’s never been about shrinking, disappearing or becoming invisible. Instead, you’ve taught me to give myself permission to become larger than life and embrace a stronger, more well-defined, me. I actually like myself more these days and am finding comfort in my own body. "

“In October of 2020, I underwent exploratory surgery and had my rhomboid minor and lower trapezius reattached to my scapula. It took a couple of years of physical therapy to get to a place where I felt like I could get back into the gym, but I felt incredibly self-conscious and so discouraged when I did make it to the gym because I was still very weak, and my back pain prevented me from doing very much. In March of 2022, I reached out to Ivonne and asked her if she’d help me strengthen my pelvic floor and hips, and she immediately scheduled me to see her twice a week. I can genuinely say that I am so happy that I decided to work with her because she is an incredible coach/instructor. Ivonne coached me in a way that I was receptive to; she understood my limitation and frequently checked in to see how I was feeling, but she also challenged me and pushed me. In July of 2022, we started to incorporate upper body into our sessions, and by this point, I was starting to notice some big changes. My hips felt more stable, my core was stronger, and my shoulder mobility was getting better! She is creative, attentive, and well rounded and I can’t recommend her enough!! Please do yourself a favor and get started with her immediately, you won’t regret it.”
