I have gotten so much out of your podcast, class, & coaching sessions.  You truly have changed how I view food and weight issues.  I am happy to say that I have lost 22 pounds and have held steady for the past three months.  Using the hunger scale and having no forbidden foods have been instrumental to my success.

Working with Shari has been a life changing experience. She is teaching me the tools to combat emotional eating and change my mindset. She is so compassionate and really gets to the bottom of what causes us to overeat, and is helping me to make peace with food.

Love Weight Loss for Foodies. Shari does a great job. Lost 10 lbs slowly eating what my body wanted. I am loving my body and appreciate how it feels.

When people notice my weight loss and ask how I have done it, my answer is that I only eat when I am hungry. (Who knew?) I want to thank you for your guidance and support. Unlike other times that I've tried to lose weight, I don't feel deprived or constantly think about food. It is not super fast but it is consistent and healthier than other ways to lose weight. You have made a big difference for me and I really appreciate it!

I can't recommend this programme highly enough! It works! I now have a much more relaxed and healthy relationship with food. I was in an awkward place, I knew dieting wasn't working but I didn't know what, if anything, would work, and I was so worried because dieting or not, my weight was steadily creeping up. It was my priority to address that, and it's been achieved 100%! I can trust myself to eat exactly what and how much my body needs, and even though I didn't believe it when Shari said you could bake delicious brownies and just forget they are there, lo and behold that's exactly where I'm at now! Shari is so easy to work with and to relate to, and I'm so glad that she is not judgmental. She does a great job addressing the emotional and psychological side of eating. I got so much out of this program, and am deeply grateful.

It feels good to finally know that I am in control, not food. I eat whatever I want, just not all of it all the time. I have been immensely enjoying the feeling of perfect satiation, completely satisfied and not stuffed. This feels good! I'm like this new person when I dine as if guided by some intuitive source. (My own!) I just eat less. I enjoy. I savor. This is it! This is the FOOD FREEDOM gospel as taught by Shari.
I now get it.

I trust my body now. This stuff WORKS. And this IS how it’s supposed to be.
Thank you, Shari.

Shari is a no nonsense, down to earth person who coaches in a comforting way. She  was supportive and encouraging, both privately and in the group. Shari has been in the same shoes on her own weight journey, and speaks and leads from personal experience, but in a very professional manner. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the coaching sessions, connecting with everyone, hearing their stories and feeling the support and camaraderie of the group.

I’ve lost weight, and I didn’t gain any over the holidays! I’m eating so much more mindfully now. It’s great to believe that it is possible to go back to the way I used to eat when I was slim, and I’m seeing more evidence of that becoming my habit. Shari’s content is great, and she’s been through this herself, so speaks from experience. I recommend it for anyone who is struggling with emotional eating.

The most significant thing about my work with Shari is how much happier and in control of situations I feel now. Shari helped me see and clarify how to approach situations in ways that I feel good about, and will have a good outcome for me. Our work helped me achieve more peace with my life and helped me see the ways to accomplish my goals. I went from feeling helpless/doing nothing to feeling in control and proactive. The tools and strategies Shari provided helped me with all parts of my life-my job, marriage and all of the things I want to do on the side too. In a nutshell, I would describe the work we did as lifesaving. I went from wanting to quit my job to essentially controlling how I feel about it. There are so many ways that coaching helps and makes you happier.

I have never before been so honest with anyone about how I feel about being overweight. And so I have never before experienced the support and understanding that I have received from Shari. As a result, I feel more free from the habits of thought and action that cause me to gain weight than I ever have before. I also feel that I am on a path to more than weight loss – that I am learning how to live a lighter and more liberated life as a whole. Shari has been a tremendous help: smart, resourceful, encouraging, and inspiring.

I thoroughly enjoyed my talks with Shari. I believe she’s chosen a career path that she understands very well. Sometimes all it took was a question from her to put my thoughts in order again without my even having to answer the question.
Like a light bulb moment.

You have already helped me by your empathy and insight. Anyone who wants to really get to the root cause of their fears (things that block them from following their dreams) would be wise to consult you.
