Minna is such a lovely and inspiring coach. With her help I changed my relationship with food and started feeling so much better and more energised. Emphasis of the coaching program wasn’t on the weight-loss but instead it happened as a side benefit whilst concentrating on making positive changes for my wellbeing.

4 kuukautta Minnan valmennuksessa muutti suhtautumiseni ruokailuun täysin; luulin ennen syöväni terveellisesti mutta väärässä olin. Minna ohjaa oikeisiin valintoihin jämäkästi mutta virheistä tuomitsematta. Hän on aidosti kiinnostunut ohjattavistaan ja antaa ryhmätchatissa myös tosi hyviä täsmäneuvoja ja vinkkaa muuta hyvinvointia edistävää materiaalia. Ryhmän kesken on vallinnut luottamuksellinen ja tsemppaava yhteishenki ja chat on täyttynyt ihanista ruokakuvista ja päivittäisten askelmäärien viesteistä. Haluan suositella Minnan valmennusta kaikille jotka haluavat muutosta omaan olotilaan ja voida paremmin!

Minnan koulutukseen oli erittäin helppo osallistua ja ryhmän tuki oli mahtava. Opin uskomattoman paljon ja onnistuin tekemään monta muutosta, joiden ansiosta elämä tuntuu ja maistuu paremmalta. Olen erittäin kiitollinen ajasta Minnan ja kurssilaisten kanssa ja olen pystynyt jatkamaan siitä mihin jäätiin.

Onneksi lähdin kurssille mukaan! Ryhmän tuki oli itselle tärkeää ja se myös, että alkuun uusia tapoja opetellessa sitä oli “tilivelvollinen” toisille. Kun muut tsemppasivat, niin itse halusi myös tehdä samoin. Itselle se toimi hyvin. Minna toi myös uutta ajateltava mm. verensokerin tasaisena pitämisestä ja pidemmistä paastojaksoista. Tykkäsin myös kovasti, että Minna laittoi mielenkiintoisia terveyspodeja meille tiedoksi. Saavutin tavoitteeni painonpudotuksen suhteen valmennuksen aikana ja uudet elämäntavat ovat pysyneet mukana sen jälkeen. Voin todella hyvin ja suositettelen lämpimästi Minnan valmennusta!

Let pictures speak for themselves.

Minna is such an amazing coach. She is gentle, fun and encouraging. I have had the best results with her and could not be happier. For the first time I have actually managed to keep the weight off as her coaching is not just another diet, but a change in your mindset which results in a permanent weight loss. Her coaching is all about feeling your best on many levels, mentally and physically. I 100% recommend her.

It was the best decision ever to sign up to Minna’s Health Coaching group! At the ripe age of approaching 50 I had tried every diet available and it was finally time to give way to a permanent lifestyle change instead. The best thing about the program is that it doesn't feel like you’re giving anything up but instead finding better and tastier ways to eat. I feel good and energised, my clothes slip on easily, my blood results have returned to normal and my weight has kept on going down at a steady pace. I’m now also walking 10,000 steps a day, which is amazing! Minna is constantly educating herself, her coaching style is gentle yet determined whilst she steers you towards your goals. On top of this I get to be part of such a supportive and wonderful group of women who are around the same age as me, and facing similar challenges than me. Our WhatsApp group is active and so encouraging. We share tips and ideas and so much more that comes up in every day life. For your own wellbeing, I can warmly recommend!

I am so grateful to Minna for all the information and advice she shared with us. The support, encouragement and an amazing atmosphere in our group enabled me to achieve all my desired lifestyle changes.

In the beginning of the coaching program I decided to cut out pasta, potato, rice, bread, sweets, pepsi max and other foods that I used to use to “treat myself” with. In my case I decided to go cold turkey on them as I know myself and knew it was the only way that was going to work for me. I have now, during holidays or special occasions, enjoyed some pizza etc and have been able to do this whilst keeping the amounts sensible and without loosing control. However I find myself not even having the taste for refined carbs and sugar anymore, I have found healthier alternatives that I prefer and so does my gut.

I have gotten my figure back… not the same figure I used to have when I was much younger but a more mature body that I now love and respect. I feel happy, strong and confident. I am in a good place with myself. I have always exercised a lot but I now feel energised, high on life and happy. I wasn’t overweight to begin with but when I reached middle age it started to show around my waist and I didn’t recognise myself anymore. I felt uncomfortable in my clothes and my energy levels were constantly up and down. I think I was also in a bad mood a lot more often then. Sweets, liquorice and Pepsi Max were my main vices. I eliminated all of those from my diet and I don’t miss them at all. I lost 11kg during the five months in the group. The changes in my appearance and how I feel have not gone unnoticed and it feels nice to receive compliments.

Mood swings and swelling related to menopause are gone, my gut, mind and skin are feeling great, all thanks to my improved diet. I’ve become so interested in wellbeing that I’m considering taking up a course in the same field myself.

I thank Minna for this experience and hope to meet everyone in my group in real life soon!

If someone had given me a list of all the lifestyle changes I had to make in order to reach my wellness related goals I would have probably given up before even trying. The list would have been so overwhelmingly long that I wouldn’t have known where or how to begin. In my own mind I was doing everything right but yet I was putting on weight, suffered from brain fog and was constantly tired.

Minna’s style of coaching was very supportive and encouraging. I was able to make permanent changes as they were introduced at a realistic pace, one by one.

In order to get to where I am now, I really did need the guidance and support health coaching gave me. Whilst my weight started to go down Minna also guided me onto a journey of overall personal growth. This was and still is the most crucial component behind my well-being and most certainly why I’ve been able to maintain those lifestyle changes, and that healthy weight.

I feel so much better about myself and my life now. I learned to be in charge of my food choices rather than letting food be in charge of me. I learned the meaning of rest, adequate sleep and moving my body. I can absolutely recommend Minna!

I am a 57-year old woman and during the covid years I got a bit stuck, my activity levels lessened and my diet was a bit all over the place.

When I saw that Minna was putting together another Health Coaching group I knew that it was what I needed. The support and encouragement that the small group has offered me and Minna’s knowledge and enthusiasm about nutrition and its effects on our health have made a big impression on me. I feel more energized than ever and my journey continues. This is not a “diet” this is a new amazing lifestyle. Thank you Minna!

I had been frustrated with my weight that had been going up slowly but surely and also with how I was left feeling as a consequence. I tried a couple of different diets that worked temporarily but as soon as they were over the pounds piled back on. That frustrated me even further.

Now under Minna’s guidance I’m eating a varied, healthy diet, I treat myself and enjoy food in a new way. In three months my weight has gone down more than 5kg and I feel great. The nicest thing is that I don’t feel like I’m dieting but instead I’m eating well and looking after myself.

Minna knows what she’s doing and what she’s talking about. She listens, helps to find solutions and options, encourages and praises. My journey with Minna carries on and I can highly recommend her coaching to everyone who has neglected their own wellbeing like I had.

I gained 20 kilos during my pregnancies. I tried a couple of diets to get rid of the pregnancy weight but the kilos always returned as the diets ended. Minna has helped me understand that it’s not about dieting. When you listen to yourself and your body it leads to better choices. There is no need to diet when you make good choices in your everyday life. The sum of many small changes is a bigger change that leads to a healthier life. Making these changes automatically results in weight loss.

I like Minna’s encouraging attitude. You can and even must enjoy food, it’s possible to plan your good choices in advance and you don’t have to deny anything from yourself. The peer support you get from the group has been amazing. We celebrate each other’s successes and steer each other back on a good path after a bad day. I have received advice and encouragement for a healthier life for my whole family from Minna and I can highly recommend her.

As a person Minna is positive, supporting and full of life. This is exactly what she is also like as a Health Coach. From the beginning she highlighted that a balanced life is achieved with healthy lifestyle choices. Health is the basis of our life and that includes every aspect of well-being; both physical and emotional.

Minna encouraged me to find a meditation practice and introduced me to the world of inspiring and motivational podcasts that I get a lot out of. She guided me in my food choices and my diet now includes real, clean food. I also managed to get rid of my sugar addiction. My sleep improved and so did my energy levels. I learned to love moving my body in my own way, doing what I enjoy doing. I am a 45-year old, working mother of four children so being absolute about anything is not and can’t be my style. Luckily Minna never expected that but took everyone’s individual situation and needs into consideration. Such a great Health Coach!

I finally managed to get rid of the extra kilos I had been carrying around for years and I was surprised at how easy this ended up being. The group gave me the accountability I needed, in a very positive manner. As a coach Minna is supportive, compassionate and knowledge. I highly recommend her.
