"I desperately needed to work through important decisions, focus on my health goals and learn important relaxation and time management skills during my six-month program. As a full-time working mom of two teens, supporting my mother who lives with us, beginning a graduate degree, and continuing to work on my weight loss goals, I knew that I needed to pare down non-essentials, learn better coping strategies and work through many emotions that were impeding my progress in many areas of my life. Coach Barb gave me personalized strategies, listened intently and compassionately, and was a safe source of great encouragement, wisdom and support. We could share a laugh, and I trusted her. She took time to review my goals, track my progress and helped me to feel like we accomplished good work after each session. I learned healthier skills, became more energized and better able to focus on what I needed to do between sessions and make long term plans. I am in a much healthier place mentally and physically, and I know the door is always open whenever I need to recalibrate or deal with a rough patch. I highly recommend Coach Barb as a wise, trustworthy, and caring guide and companion who will help you tackle challenges and create a reliable plan to accomplish your goals!"

"If you are ready to make changes for better health, I would recommend Coach Barb Collins as your Health Coach. I have nothing but praise for Coach Barb’s communication skills. I felt comfortable talking with her, but most importantly, she was a good listener. Coach Barb is knowledgeable and a positive force. She had great tips and relaxation techniques. I had some ideas of what I wanted to do for my weight loss journey. With Coach Barb’s help, I was able set a few attainable goals and stay focused. Then, add or modify my goals as needed. I never felt overwhelmed in going through the process. Now, I am reaching my goals and I can actually see myself where I want to be in 2023! Thanks so much Coach Barb"

"I signed up with Coach Barb for the Get Going, mini 6-week program. I wasn’t sure about a longer commitment, and I wanted to see if having a Health Coach would work for me. I also knew I wanted to get a good foundation started for my future health goals along with dealing with some work issues. I found Barb to be a good listener, encourager, and motivator. Along with daily goals to help me see my progress, she also suggested I start a gratitude journal. That helped me examine myself more and see positivity even when things weren't going how I wanted them to go.
I renewed my program because I realized how beneficial my work with Coach Barb had been. Having to report to someone else weekly instead of myself helped me stay on track, and I also wanted that accountability to not to back slide into old habits. I have been able to improve my health habits and to set aside work issues due to our conversations. Her energy and concerns for where you are carries over into the sessions."
