"Victoria gave me hope that it is possible to transform and change, and I don't need a diet or a pill for it!"
BEFORE
Problems and challenges faced prior to coaching
Before working with Victoria, I was in a place where I honestly thought something is wrong with me...
For the past 10 years I'd been struggling to stick to any sort of diet, even to healthy eating, and to any consistent form of exercise. Which made me feel bad - so I'd often go out and treat myself to something sweet to help me feel better, and then I'd feel guilty about eating the sweets.
"It was all a vicious cycle that made me feel like I was trapped in a place I couldn't escape."
I would often overeat at restaurants and parties, which made me feel shitty the day after - but I never knew how to stop when I was full.
Another big problem for me was dealing with the comments people would make about my body. I was really trying to brush it off, but they stung, especially when they came from my loved ones!
Deep down I knew they meant well when they told me I put on weight, but that didn't make it any easier to deal with.
"What was worse was that I had internalised a lot of these thoughts and I was often unkind to myself, putting myself down without even realising it!"
And then I was wondering why my business wasn't doing very well, or why people doubted me!
I had some superficial level of confidence, but it was cracking at the first sight of someone's disapproval or disagreement!
AFTER
Results achieved from coaching
I learned so, so much not only about how the brain works and why we do some stuff, but I also learned how to have more compassion for myself.
Recognising the reason I was stress-eating made me feel 100 times better - and just noticing made me so much more aware, so I could now decide if I actually wanted to eat!
I feel like I've made a huge progress when it comes to listening to myself - I've learned to take a break, relax, plan fun activities, do the hard work even when it's uncomfortable, and allow myself to eat the food I want without feeling guilty!
"I feel like I've completely transformed who I am on the inside."
I've made peace with my upbringing, with my past and with any situation that ever made me feel I wasn't worthy of love.
"It was never about the food or the exercise, but all about the reasons for why I used them as coping mechanisms."
Now that I know where it all comes from, it's so much easier to NOT blame myself when I eat something.
"I've been able to enjoy my favourite foods guilt free, which is amazing - and I even signed up to a gym because I want to feel better, not because I need to lose weight!"
In terms of confidence, it's totally off-the-charts. Not in the 'omg look at me' way - just in a way that I know who I am, what I stand for, and what my value in this world is.
This is better than anything else I could have signed up for - because I can now use this confidence not only in my food choices, but in my relationships and my business as well!

BONUS BREAKTHROUGHS
Too good not to share!
- There's nothing wrong with me. I'm not incapable of sticking to healthy food or exercising. It was the fact that my identity was not of a healthy, sporty or fit person - so I wasn't able to sustain a healthy habit.
- Identifying where that came from, how my family history and things that people had told me influenced my current behaviour - that was a game-changer!
- Feeling my feelings instead of ignoring them was one of THE major takeaways I've had from our work. As someone who was always trying to stay positive and look on the bright side, admitting I wasn't feeling good was hard. Really hard.
- When you have the identity of a high achiever, it's really difficult to show up and be vulnerable, because it can seem like you're weak. But vulnerability is the opposite of perfectionism. And I'm learning to be more vulnerable because that's how you make genuine connections!
- Being able to go out without makeup and not feel like extra-ugly has been a major shift. I used to put on foundation and concealer to go to the supermarket, because I always felt judged.
- Now I wear makeup only when I film videos and maybe when I go out, but besides that it's been a massive change and has freed up at least 2h/week which I can now use to relax!
- Finally, being able to wear V-necks and tops where my chest is showing. I didn't even realise that was a problem until you pointed it out and challenged me to wear one! And oh god, this was a shift! It's actually now become one of my favourite parts of my body, and I'm definitely not self-conscious about it anymore!
- Last year I bought a dress that I loved, but it had a deep-V opening, and I was super self-conscious while wearing it the whole day. This summer I wore the same exact dress, with the exact same people - and felt like a rockstar!
- I feel my newest strength is the ability to fly and not feel anxious. Honestly, I was struggling so much, I once paid about $30 just to change my seat because it was at the back of the plane.
- Now I know how to use breathing and allowing to help me calm down before and during the flight, so much so that I was able to sleep, read and enjoy myself even at the last row of the plane, during turbulence!
THE WRAP UP!
Having Victoria as my coach helped me so much because she was the first person to listen to my issues and not judge me.
"I felt like I could talk to her about anything, and a lot of those things I hadn't shared with anyone."
It was such a relief to be able to share, and actually discuss, without her 'solving' my problem and making me feel weird. Sometimes just talking about something made me feel more normal, so I am eternally grateful for that!
She taught me so much, not only the actual science stuff, but also about how my relationship with my body could look like.
Victoria was always there for me, replied to all my questions and advised me when I had any doubts!I felt that I not only had a coach but also a friend, and for me forming a genuine relationship with another girl I've never met in real life was a huge success!
"Victoria is so understanding and helpful that I can't think of someone who wouldn't benefit from her program!"
