Anke Johnson has been my health and nutrition coach for the last couple of months and I’m more than happy with the results I’ve achieved so far.

Not only has she customized a supplement and exercise plan that works for me, she also motivates, teaches, and cheers me on during our weekly one-on-one phone consultations. I’ve lost weight, I feel better, I sleep better, and my waist is almost an inch smaller since I began this journey.

The additional energy has allowed me to procure more clients, make more money, and work more efficiently.

It’s a difficult process to change health habits that however destructive they are, tend to be very entrenched and not easy to modify. If you are ready to make a positive lifestyle change and need help figuring out how to achieve results, get help from Coach Anke.

Understand that nobody wants you to succeed more than Anke!

I am the mother of two active young boys, I am a wife, I am the owner of a growing and fast paced business, and oh that’s right I am myself too! I have always known, intellectually, the importance of making time for myself, of keeping myself healthy and happy because what good am I to those that I love and that need me if I’m not. But this past year I realized that knowing something intellectually and believing deep down in my gut are two very different things, and the gut wins out all the time, which means I was last on the list of people in my life to get cared for. As a healthy person I don’t get sick and I am not overweight, so why would I hire a health coach? Because I knew that there is a better way to live and I wanted to feel it. It was time to make some changes and I knew I had a better chance at success by hiring a professional health coach.

Anke Johnson helped me and my family in ways I couldn’t anticipate. The two most important things that made a difference in how I live today are the way Anke 1) asks the right questions that really forced me to look at why I made the decisions I did, why I thought the way I thought. She took our coaching calls to a very deep level without me even realizing it until the call was over. It was done in a comfortable, easy and enlightening way; 2) Anke holds me accountable for goals I can accomplish and yet pushes me a bit more when it she knows I can handle it and also knows when to tone it down so that the changes being made are realistic and that sets me up for success.

Anke Johnson is incredibly talented at what she does. She has the skills to listen and repeat back what she hears in a way people can see themselves clearly in a mirror in a non threatening, loving way. That is important. She is a tough cookie with an extra dose of compassion. To be direct with someone in a soft way is a talent that few people possess. It almost doesn’t sound possible, but once you work with Anke you’ll know what I’m talking about. Anke has vast knowledge about the human body, the way our mind works, food, nutrition, exercise, muscles and techniques. The list goes on and on. Anke also has a passion for research. Even when she knew the answer she would follow up with more information from websites, books, etc.  Anke is the kind of professional that other professionals work with because of her skills, her professionalism and her beliefs in customer service.

I have been a couch potato my entire life.  I was always one of those thin people that could eat anything.  But midlife approached and my body turned on me.  On top of that, I seemed to be facing crisis after crisis.  Since I began working with Anke, my spouse had two major surgeries with complications, I turned 50, my dog of 15 years died, I played hostess at my stepson’s wedding reception and entertained 23 family members (in-laws) at a week long family reunion.  I also started to increase my alcohol consumption.   Needless to say, I was not very compliant with the regimen she and I had agreed upon.  In fact, I dreaded our calls because I would have to tell her how much I didn’t do.  Not only, did I not meet my weight loss goal, but I gained weight.  Not much of a testimonial for Anke …but wait there is more.

Anke never, ever made me feel ashamed of my poor performance but rather she pointed out all the things that I had accomplished since I began working with her.  I was walking more, I stopped drinking completely, gave up my addiction to cake, was no longer eating high calorie snack food, began taking nutritional supplements and I had accomplished a lot of things around the house that had been hanging over my head for months. 

She stayed with me while we regrouped and made a plan of action that would work for me.  Instead of my overly ambitious goals that I failed to meet, we set very small goals that I could do. (By the way, she cautioned against my original ambitious goals but never said I told you so).

Anke is very skilled and works very hard for her clients.  I was amazed at all the things she had researched before each of our coaching calls.  She made it very safe for me to admit my failings and was able to remind me of the successes that I tended to minimize.  She made herself available to me whenever I needed encouragement, motivation, or just someone to listen to me.

I would not hesitate to recommend Anke to anyone who wants to live a healthier life.  Stay tuned and I will keep you posted on my progress.  But thanks to Anke, I haven’t quit yet which is a major change from my previous short lived attempts at improving my health.
