I have been amazed at the growth I have accomplished through taking the "Squash Fear, Gain Confidence" coaching. When I signed up, the "Squash Fear" was the part that seemed predominant in my mind. After finishing the coaching, the "Gain Confidence" is the part that stands out the most. By obtaining the knowledge and the tools and small bits of practice each week, squashing fear is "no big deal"!!! The goals I started with were adjusted to better suit my needs, and I know that in the future I will be able to expand on them and go wherever I decide to go!
I have gotten closer to my horses with regard to relationship. They are happier as am I.
-Beverly D. WI
I am an accomplished equestrian, riding every day with a premier riding instructor. However there has always been a challenge with my confidence even though it’s ever so small, which has kept me from reaching my true potential and my horse reaching his. Within the first 3 weeks of “Squash Fear Gain Confidence”, I was amazed at the small things that made such a BIG difference! As we progressed through the 12 weeks, I continued to progress with my horse so much so that we were able to accomplish flying lead changes, the start of a piaffe and feeling great cantering outside in the open! I am so happy that I was introduced to Anke and the coaching that she provides, and I know if my horse could write part of this he’d be saying thanks too!!

"My and Denver’s relationship has certainly grown in the past 12 weeks. I’m better able to recognize his thresholds and therefore, respect that he’s hit a threshold and not push him through it. And amazingly, he seems to be having less thresholds because of that!
I would highly recommend taking any course from Anke. I think the biggest takeaway is learning to break things down into tiny, tiny no-fail steps. It’s amazing how quickly you can move forward by doing that."
-Karen U. IL
"Because of my work each week with Anke, I’ve learned how little steps lead to big changes fast! I’ve achieved more in this 12 weeks with my horse than I have in the past two years! She seems to be enjoying spending time with me, and even when the herd members are calling to her, she’s happy to be with me."
- Sue J. IL
“Many, many gifts! I’d say the most important take-away for me is the new level of awareness I have achieved on so many levels. Awareness about decisions without judgment is just critical, and your coaching just encourages that over and over. I’m also grateful for the opportunity to understand the meaning of “ridiculously small, no fail steps” not just with my relationship to food but to many other areas of my life, as laid out very nicely with the wheel activity in the beginning. The ability to put all of this together in my mind is still a work in progress, and I have awareness of how this is all connected. There’s nothing else like it out there!”
-Diane P. WI
“Congratulations on creating such a wonderful course. Once and for All had the way for me to change back to my natural self and you taught it with great knowledge, wisdom and humor. I felt fully responsible and fully supported at the same time, an inspiring combination. It was so much fun to choose health. While losing the 28 pounds and 24 inches was great, being happy with myself and taking charge of my life was greater still and will be the foundation for a future of health and happiness. Thank you so much.”

“Over the 12 weeks we had together with Once and For All, I’m taking away a process to move out of stuck and overwhelmed to confidence in successful gains. My goals are now attainable and not just fading hopes. This has saved my life physically, emotionally and spiritually. My natural self is showing up again and I will always cherish her from now on out.”

Anke Johnson is a health and nutrition coach that has what it takes to make a difference in people’s lives. She has certainly been an inspiration to me during the last 12 years to achieve a healthy lifestyle.
A great coach is someone who has your best interest at heart, asks the right questions, listens and works with you to create a plan for success. She has certainly been patient with me as I would start a wellness program and for some reason or another, suffer a set-back due to an injury or other barrier. Anke always encouraged me to ‘keep my eye on the prize’ and stay focused on the goal, whether it was weight loss or getting healthier as I approach my 49th birthday this year. She has worked with me to achieve a healthier lifestyle especially since my career demands a hectic travel schedule. When success is achieved she celebrates the success with you and works with you to maintain results or go for something else.
Bottom line is that Anke’s knowledge and passion to coach others to have a lifetime of wellness are keys to her success. She has made a difference in my life and I know she can help anyone who is open to creating a healthier lifestyle.

After Anke’s 1 day workshop “Taking Care of YOU!”, I realized for the first time that you don’t have to starve yourself to be healthy. It’s like I finally got permission to eat healthy, and not to deprive myself! Learning how nutrition effects your whole body, and how to use good nutrition to move forward with your goals really helped me to take that first step to better health. It was very informative and enlightening, I’m looking forward to much, much more!
--Gail H, Oregon WI
Anke helped me to understand more about nutrition facts and helped to map out ideas that will help me to move forward towards my own nutrition goals and overall health. You really need to want to change for yourself to be better, and Anke will help you do that. What I learned was amazing, and that nutrition is the key to everything else in your life. I have only one request; a longer time frame! I’m hungry for more!
--Melissa S, Madison WI
Wow! Anke has a way of sharing information and keeping you excited and engaged as you learn vital information that will help you to live a longer and more fulfilling life. I learned about the importance of baby steps and rewards, and the effect of food choices in regards to organic vs inorganic. I would say that everyone should learn about what they’re eating and how to achieve their goals. I’m excited to let my friends and family know what my goals are, share the plan on how I’m going to achieve them, and to reward myself for my achievements (no matter how small)!
--Elizabeth K, Brooklyn WI
I started a skeptic, but now embrace more core value in what Anke shares. I have learned how to improve my personal life, and have tools to improve my health. Balance and healthy nutrition are now an everyday part of my life!
--Sara K, Madison WI
I am on board and buy in to what Anke has shared with us, it just makes sense. As a busy mom of two, wife and business owner, it’s not always easy to find time for everything that I have to do, let alone find time for myself. In just over a month, I’ve learned practical grocery shopping trips to improve my and my families nutrition, which has resulted in feeling healthier, less snacking and having more energy throughout the day. I’ve been able to accomplish more in the same 24 hours a day, but with a more positive attitude and with more joy. Taking small no fail steps and rewarding myself when I accomplish them has been empowering and fun! I am now riding my horse once weekly instead of just looking at him from the window, and taking long walks on my farm. I’ve changed my eating and snacking habits and moved in the right directions. Thanks for the support and tips on how to succeed at goals and why it’s so important to have them!
--Judy B, Brooklyn WI
After our coaching, I realized how important balance is for general health. This has motivated me to enforce my knowledge that I currently have, and to seek out more. I want to encourage my husband to join me in these lifestyle changes, as I know it will result in a better use of my free time, more energy, and a more balanced life overall!
--Andrea L, Madison WI
Working with Anke has been great, I couldn’t ask for any more to learn. I have been able to achieve more balance in my life which helps to keep me happy. By giving myself rewards when I achieve my ridiculously small activities each week, I’m amazed at how quickly I’m moving towards my goal of learning more about nutrition, and how and what to eat.
--Diane L, Evansville, WI
After the workshop, there was much food for thought and options to consider. The nutrition and dietary information helped me to make better choices for my families eating habits. I had so much fun, and learned about many choices in health, supplements and dietary changes to improve our overall health and energy levels. I would loved to have spent all day with you!
--Chris V, Oregon WI
I learned how to set obtainable fail proof goals that work, and to take a closer look at nutritional labels and what you’re truly ingesting, that’s paramount for me. I was able to walk away in 3 short hours with enough information to make better choices for me and my family. The great tools that got me educated on nutrition and health, really gave me food for thought. By starting small and setting realistic goals, I was able to understand better how this life information leads you to better life balance. Coaching with Anke is making the dream of riding and being with my horses more a reality instead of just a wish! By finding a person outside of family to be accountable to has helped me to actually achieve my goals, and not just hope that I achieve them.
--Rachelle E, Oregon, WI
Entrenched health habits are difficult to change, however destructive they are. Anke Johnson not only customized a supplement and exercise plan that works for me, she also motivates, teaches, and cheers me on. I’ve lost weight, I feel better, and I sleep better. The additional energy has allowed me to procure more clients, make more money, and work more efficiently.
--Dan Lautenschleger
Madison, WI
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. Anke Johnson has vast knowledge about the human body, food, nutrition, exercise, muscles, techniques, the way our mind works, and has a passion for research. She helped me and my family in ways I couldn’t anticipate by (1) asking the right questions that really forced me to look at why I make the decisions I do, why I think the way I think and (2) holding me accountable for goals I could accomplish, pushing me a bit more when it she knew I could handle it, and setting me up for success. She took our coaching sessions to a very deep level without me even realizing it afterward. It was done in a comfortable, easy and enlightening way. Anke Johnson is a tough cookie with an extra dose of compassion.

Anke has a natural curiosity about her and is truly passionate about coaching; she will do her utmost to help you achieve the results you’re looking for! Anke also has a natural aptitude for asking great questions, which is a great coaching skill – one that’s absolutely vital to her clients’ successfully attaining their own goals.
--Kerry Brown
Victoria, British Columbia Canada
Anke helped me with a plan of action that would work for me. Instead of my usual overly ambitious goals that I always failed to meet, we set very small goals that I could do. Anke never, ever made me feel ashamed of my lapses, but instead reminded me of the successes that I tended to minimize. I began 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 accomplished a lot of things around the house that had been hanging over my head for months. Anke is very skilled and works very hard for her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants to live a healthier life.
