“My biggest challenge was putting undue pressure on myself with workouts and diet. Claudia has helped me learn to listen to my body and nourish it with proper movement and foods without all the added pressure by setting realistic goals and reminding me that it’s about progress, not perfection.
Claudia provided a judgement free environment, where I could talk without shame! That has been one of the best things for me. It’s like talking to a friend who has your back but also helps you achieve your goals! I can tell she really cares about every aspect of my life with a focus on finding spaces for improvement. For me, it was crucial to have someone support me and remind me to give myself grace!
Claudia's wellness coaching sessions have been essential to my health care journey and path to healing. I’d recommend her services to anyone who is willing to make a change but needs support to do so!"

“My biggest challenge was skipping meals for long periods of time and not knowing how that affected my health. Since working with Claudia, I learned the amounts and types of food my body needs to feel my best. I developed a positive attitude towards cooking and new habits that allow me to enjoy food without guilt or dread to make it.
Claudia is open minded, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She was able to help me to ease of eating well by making small but consistent changes and reaching my goals by providing tools and holding me accountable.
I would recommend her to anyone struggling with their relationship with food or people looking for alternatives to healthier eating who don't know where to start."

"One of the biggest things I've learned from working with Claudia is that being healthy isn't just about eating and exercising. You have to have a healthy mindset and practice self-care. Claudia uses a gentle and caring approach to help me make manageable goals each week. While she does encourage me to eat more vegetables, she also has taught me the power of visualization and affirmations.
We speak every week about how I did the previous and what I'd like my goals to be for the next week. She provides encouragement and is always available when I text her during a rough moment and provides excellent advice. The most significant change I've noticed since we've been working together is that I am more likely to be kind to myself when I make mistakes. I would recommend Claudia to anyone who is looking to be healthier and happier."

“Claudia's approach to health incorporates so many facets of life beyond food and activity. She helps you explore all the areas that make up a well-balanced, whole & healthy person...You are the one who has to put the work in, but Claudia will be your biggest supporter along the way to achieving your goals. I'd highly recommend her services to anyone looking to improve their health.
My husband has always been the chef in the family and I have historically had limited success in the kitchen. Claudia shared healthy, easy to prepare recipes that made me feel more confident in the kitchen. Trying new things and having success makes me more excited about cooking, so I eat out less often... I prefer outdoor activities and winter months challenge me to stay active. Claudia suggested ways to be more active indoors. I'm even trying aerial yoga! Talk about a fun challenge! It's great to have someone hold you accountable to the goals you set.
Progress was always the goal, not perfection, which helped me to focus on the many successes rather than the few stumbles. The six-month time period was perfect for me to establish new habits.”

“Claudia of Live to Thrive is an inspirational example of health and very knowledgeable and friendly. Claudia is warm and welcoming and will craft a flexible plan to meet individual needs and overcome longstanding roadblocks.
I would highly recommend Claudia and Live to Thrive to people looking to improve their life and health, and to those desiring to move to an optimal weight. She has a range of diverse skills and copious amounts of information to share about the path to healthy living. I am very advanced in terms of physical fitness (finishing many marathons and being a running coach) and know a lot about plant-based nutrition. And still, I gained enormous insight and practical skills from Claudia and our work together. I am in the kitchen much more and confident to experiment with new recipes. Take advantage of what Live to Thrive has to offer!”

"Claudia is an amazing coach!
Her approach was so appealing, motivating. The pace, the content, the interactive dynamics made the time spent so worthy! Claudia is bright, authentic, full of energy.... and at the same time centered and balanced.
Her welcoming ways make people feel at ease. The tools I got are very practical.
I attended the Super-Self Seeds Workshop she created. I truly enjoyed it! It was great to connect with other people too! I highly recommend her and the workshop if you have the opportunity to take it.”

“I love working with Claudia! After I discovered a major health concern at the beginning of 2020, I started looking for assistance in making some changes. I am so glad Claudia was one of my first calls as she has provided such wonderful guidance and accountability.
I thought I needed nutrition information, but I really needed much more. Claudia really took the time to understand my issues as an individual in order to take a multi-faceted approach to address the goals I have for my health. I'm thankful that I have a plan that works for me and is sustainable, because I need something for the long term in order to stay my healthiest, happiest self.
There is no judgment when you work with Claudia, only encouragement, advice, and empowerment. She is friendly in her approach and solid with her insights. I encourage you to make the investment in your health and contact her. I wish I would have had this information years ago!”
