Ellie is great. Very informed and supportive. She has definitely made a positive change in my life. Although I haven’t lost a significant amount of weight, I have been eating healthier, feeling better and have gained a lot of knowledge about what kinds of foods we are putting in our bodies. I really enjoyed that this was not a diet but rather a lifestyle change and I am not unmotivated that I haven’t lost a lot because my plan is to eat the things that nourish my body and loose over a longer period of time since I am creating lasting habits. I am so thankful to my employer for making this 8 weeks with Ellie possible. I will never go on another diet again. 

The past few months, I've had to make some changes to my lifestyle due to the RA diagnoses. My energy sucked, I couldn't work out like I used to but I thought I was still doing ok with my diet. Yeah, well..maybe not so well. My employer offered an 8 week program with a certified health coach (Ellie Savoy) for free. I figured this is worth a shot since I've known Ellie and know how passionate she was. WOW! It's only been 10 days and what an amazing difference in how I feel. My energy has been "normal" all week and I've been able to be active 6 days this week. This has been the first time in months!! I've cut out most sugar (which most of my sugar came from fruit..now looking at less sugar content fruit and less of it) and more food that has less than 6 ingredients in it so far. I look forward to learning more on this journey and to keep this disease at a minimum. We really are what we eat!!

I was fortunate to have participated in a program through my employer, HVFCU. This is how my journey with Ellie began. Through weekly support, sharing her knowledge and firsthand experience she has helped me become more self aware. Ellie's philosophy of small steps, upgraded choices and progress not perfection make it easy to keep better choices top of mind. As a result of my time with Ellie, I have learned so much about myself and what truly goes into the decisions and choices I make. It doesn't have to be all or nothing but taking the first steps down a path surely makes you want to continue your journey!

When I started my journey with Ellie Savoy, I considered myself a fairly healthy person. Ellie helped me look into the foods I was eating which allowed a closer look at the ingredients on the food labels. Doing this completely changed my outlook on the foods I was eating. As a vegetarian for so long, there are many meat replacement items at the grocery stores. These items are not good options and are often filled with chemical add ins. I was able to eliminate these items from my routine and transitioned my produce to all organic. After the first week of making this transition I was able to think clearer and have increased energy.

Working with Ellie has been fantastic. She has shared many suggestions and best practices with food choices and lifestyle. What I love about Ellie is that she is positive, encouraging, and never focuses on the number or amount of weight lost. She focuses on your health. With good health comes good weight. Not only did Ellie help me make good food choices, she also helped me with my household. We reviewed shower products, household cleaners, and the benefits of household plants for cleaner air. Initially, my overall goal for this program was weight loss. Through working with Ellie I have learned that focusing on factors that contribute to your overall health is just as important as losing the weight. Ellie has been such a great support. I am forever grateful! Thank you Ellie!

I am fortunate to work for a company that afforded me the opportunity to take control of my wellness and eight weeks ago I signed up for an 8 week Health and Wellness Program with Ellie Savoy. I can honestly say that it has positively changed my life. I have tried this diet and that diet, and this program and that program, but I never thought I would be so immersed with Ellie's approach. Each member of our group had different goals, different strengths and different foibles. Ellie is so approachable and likable which kept us, and especially me, going. The one on one sessions are great. She listens, offers insights and we came up with an individualized plan of action. She encourages participation and sharing within the group and it really works. I can honestly say I will never go on another diet again. Ellie's approach is about healing the patterns and the body. The key is healing the scars of bad choices and bad patterns. I have a new outlook on preparing foods for myself. I am no longer obsessed or ambivalent about caloric intake. I now care about the quality of the food...fresh instead of frozen, little or no processed versus over processed tasteless and often non filling frozen meals. Yes portion control matters but a healthier less processed meal is far better. Proof in what I am saying is my new approach, with little or no so called dieting, has accounted for a 19 lbs drop in weight over the 8 weeks I have worked with Ellie (really less time as I started one week later than rest of the group). I am sure many of you who work with Ellie will agree that she has become more than a health coach but a friend as well. We always joke around on how I describe my daily meals with photos I post to Facebook. She is always telling me that I should write a cookbook or at least write the descriptions to a menu.. so here how I describe Ellie Savoy... Ellie Savoy is the perfect addition to a warm and fragrant dish of Organic Jasmine rice. She is flavorable in her approach and energizing in the same way as the fragrance from the rice. At least for me, I am thankful I have taken this new path with her at my side.

Working with Ellie has helped me do some emotional deep digging. I found this helpful and most importantly enlightening; Ellie is supportive and there is no judgement. Truly a wonderful experience.

I am deeply grateful to my employer for providing one on one coaching with Ellie Savoy during an 8 week program.  It has completely transformed my life into a new beginning for myself, my kids, and my family. I was stuck and she helped me get back on track. Ellie knows how to get to the heart of the matter. She provided a safe space where I could open up resulting in shedding heavy emotional weight which had been preventing physical weight loss. I have gained so much self confidence in myself that I never thought was possible and I am more focused and alert. These eight weeks are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

My employer offered a virtual 8 week health and wellness program with Ellie Savoy. I had never done anything like this before so it took me about 3 weeks to find my groove. Once I started eating clean food I could immediately see and feel the difference in my energy. The afternoon slumps ended along with bloating and my energy improved. I am so excited that I found my groove and I'm making better choices every day. I lost 3 pounds in 5 weeks, but more importantly I know how to lose the rest without ever depriving myself or going on a diet again. Ellie was a great supporter and listener. She always provided the answers to my questions both on our calls and in our private Facebook group.
