My girlfriend and I have been working with Michelle for a few months and her guidance has led to each of us meeting our diet goals on a regular basis. Michelle brings an upbeat, encouraging attitude towards enjoying a healthy, balanced diet with room for treats - no food is bad even cheesecake! Our first sessions began with setting personalized meal plans based on our current diets, struggles, and goals. These plans came with resources to help stay on track that my girlfriend and I each use on a daily basis to: mark what foods we've eaten, plan ahead for meals, and assess the nutritional content
