I loved working with Gabriela! She had a great way of helping me feel comfortable with sharing personal information-very accepting and a great listener. I enjoyed hearing her perspective on some of my challenging issues, which helped me see them (and therefore myself) in a different light. She is an awesome counselor, a very positive influence, and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to work with her.

Gabriela was recently introduced to me by good friends and I was immediately struck by her positive energy and sparkle - good indications that she is doing something right with her health. Then I discovered she is a holistic health counsellor who offers consultation services internationally. Great news, since we live in different countries. In general, I am interested in nutritionally supporting our family of 4 - 2 teenagers, my husband (post heart surgery) and myself. I am excited about the new ideas and recipes Gabriela has shared. Physically, fuzzy-brain has been a recurring problem for me. Gabriela suggested I try to eliminate one common food item from my diet, and in less than a week I already notice a difference in my energy level and clarity. I would recommend Gabriela's services to anyone who wants to collaborate on exploring new ways to optimum well-being.

I think I am somewhere around the half way point of my holistic health journey with Gabriela, and it has been an exciting adventure so far! I have gone from trying to avoid wheat, dairy, sugar(ish), meat, rice and nightshades while refusing to prepare any meals for myself, to carrying out a weekly shop in accordance with meal plans and ultimately preparing food... not only preparing food, but actually looking forward to preparing food! I would say my life was fairly busy, but Gabriela has helped me to recognize and differentiate between the pressures I place on myself and those intrinsic to my lifestyle, working with me to develop different coping mechanisms and methods of relaxation. Whether I feel I have made dramatic strides forwards, or sunk back into destructive behaviors, I leave every meeting feeling positive about plans for the next week, and am always happy recipient of an encouraging and supportive email; affirming all the points we covered in our meeting. I would say this has definitely been a life-altering experience, and I am excited to see how it finishes up. Not only do I feel physically and mentally 'better', but I feel like I have learned tools I will need to enable positive change in my own life in the future. Everyone needs Gabriela in their holistic heath life, whether they realize it yet or not.

I'd emerged from obsessive eating in my twenties into something of a food rut: eating the same kinds of 'safe' foods every week in order to balance healthy eating with food I liked. With her extensive knowledge of health and nutrition, plus considerable creativity and insight, Gabriela found out about my overall health. She made innovative food suggestions and other recommendations for well-being. All kinds of new ingredients form part of my pleasure with food each week, thanks to her involvement. I benefitted from the holistic approach to well-being, which meant talking about feeling good as a whole. I think almost anyone could benefit from a consultation with Gabriela. Whether you feel just fine or if you are experiencing very definite health needs, you will find her sympathetic and interested with refreshing and enlivening ideas.

Even after one phone call, I actually have found your words echoing in my head soooo much. I hear you when I am hungry at lunch time, I hear you when I have breakfast, and I am thinking so much more about the relationship and effect that my food choices are having on my body and my energy.
