What My Clients Have to SayI’m no longer restricting or binging.
Marcie was amazing to work with. She met me exactly where I was in the journey. She understood everything I was going through and was able to provide me with the right amount of a support and education to get me out of a very dark time.
I am no longer restricting or bingeing. I have learned how to nourish myself better and am able to enjoy food again.
Marcie took me out of a very dark place where I felt like food had control over my life. I am so thankful for her coaching and guidance as I would not be where I am today without her. I have worked with different nutritionists, and she is by far the most capable, educated, intuitive, direct, experienced person I have worked with. I highly recommend Marcie.

I no longer have the feeling of despair.
I have been a life-long weight watcher and although I successfully lost weight, I always gained it back. Marcie’s approach is not about counting points or calories; it is about nourishing your mind and body and empowering you to make choices that are right for that moment in time and understanding what you really need (that might not be food). I have never had anyone approach eating in this way! I am an emotional eater and this has been so good for me.
I am very thankful for having Marcie in my life. I no longer have the feeling of despair and I’m not afraid of food anymore. I understand I may have a slip but that doesn’t mean it is going to bring me back to that place where I felt out of control.

Marcie is one of a kind.
I am so grateful for having the opportunity to have met and worked with Marcie – she’s one of a kind. When I revealed my “secrets” to Marcie, she accepted me openly and without judgment. I was surprised to learn I was an emotional eater. We worked collaboratively on strategies I could tap into to change my patterns.
Thanks to Marcie’s program, I’ve lost about 18 pounds and have been more in touch with my physical body and emotional eating tendencies. I’m still on my journey of breaking free from emotional eating and I know my goals are obtainable if I focus on my newly developed stronger inner voice.

Marcie is the first person who truly understood my issues with food.
Marcie is the first person who truly understood my issues with food. Doctors and nutritionists have dismissed them for years. Knowing that I could tell her anything and not be judged or dismissed was such a relief.
Any behavior change is difficult, so having someone’s support is essential. Marcie has a way of figuring out exactly how to help you so that it feels natural to take care of yourself.

The program exceeded my expectations.
The program exceeded my expectations. I have been on this journey a long time and there were so many revelations I enjoyed during our time together– I had no idea. The lessons and practices uncovered obstacles I didn’t even know existed and gave me hope for authentic, lasting transformation.

It felt very safe to share.
I would recommend the program for anyone feeling out of control with their eating. I thought all parts of the program were very effective and the content was high quality.
I enjoyed the group interaction and the group members — everyone was so supportive, and it felt very safe to share. It was helpful to hear other’s challenges and realize that you are not alone.

I would 110% recommend this program.
I would 110% recommend this program to anyone who feels that they are not in a good relationship with food. It changes your perspective on food, choices, the why’s of your choices and helps you to become more self-compassionate. The concepts and techniques are easily adaptable for anyone looking to break free from battles with food.
I loved the group aspect of the program and thought that it was very impactful for me as a participant. Having a group of compassionate people who understood and have experienced similar food issues made me very comfortable in sharing openly and honestly. I also enjoyed and learned from them as well.

Her guidance has greatly impacted my life.
Marcie Desmond has truly changed my life. I have spent my life dieting. I have been in the rut of losing and gaining the same 20 pounds. Her guidance has greatly impacted my life.

Marcie makes you feel like you can (and will!) succeed.
Marcie is an excellent coach who I highly recommend. She is always very encouraging – she makes you feel like you can (and will!) succeed. Her knowledge isn’t just about foods and their benefits or harmful effects; she offers a wealth of strategies and ideas for developing healthier habits.

Anyone willing to do the work and lucky enough to work with Marcie can expect tremendous results.
Marcie brilliantly balances her extensive knowledge with sincere compassion and unwavering support. Through the months that we’ve worked together, I have been impressed with Marcie’s uncanny ability to adjust her coaching to best support me: even in ways that I didn’t even know I needed support! I cannot imagine making this kind of progress without Marcie’s energy, experience, and kindness. Anyone willing to do the work and lucky enough to work with Marcie can expect tremendous results.

She really goes above and beyond in her coaching.
Marcie’s the best health coach EVER! She really goes above and beyond in her coaching. She loves what she does and she was born to do it. I cannot say enough positive words about her. She’s very knowledgeable, understanding, and practical. And she’s come a long way, herself, so no judging and a great sense of humor about it all.
— Talitha V.
I loved that this was more geared toward sustainable lifestyle changes.
Marcie was such a great coach – she was there every step of the way to help me through the process. She is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about your health. I have done a lot of programs before that just were not sustainable – I loved that this was more geared toward sustainable lifestyle changes.

When I have all but given up on myself, she has helped pull me back and kept me going.
Marcie has walked the walk and is able to give clear and concise suggestions and support to keep a person on track in the hunt for their goal. There is no phony rah-rah, and her thoughts are not filled with ridiculous platitudes. When you hear Marcie’s “stuff” it is always thought provoking and right on point. This is a person who genuinely cares. When I have all but given up on myself, she has helped pull me back and kept me going.

Marcie was so wonderful to work with.
Marcie was so wonderful to work with. My biggest challenge was understanding how food impacted my overall health and how to feel more in control of what I ate. I learned to love the taste of more nutritious food and be aware of how food impacted my overall health and wellbeing.

Can’t wait to continue the journey.
When I started this challenge, my tummy was hard with inflammation and my back and knees were killing me. Just 3 weeks later, inflammation was gone and my tummy felt soft again. Back and knee pain so much better. Now it’s a matter of reducing the remaining weight I’m carrying around. Can’t wait to continue the journey.
