I worked with Jessica for 4 months and I mean WITH. She is not your average “clip board and commands” trainer. She did not put me on a crash diet or scold me for not sticking to my health plan. I never felt judged and I always felt supported and safe. She encouraged me and empowered me to cultivate a healthier lifestyle that worked for me. She is knowledgeable about all levels of health and fitness and tried to incorporate several different types of work outs. I lost the weight, and I gained a level of mental and physical strength I never had before.

Jessica has completely changed my life in a 2 month span from the way I eat, to the way I take care of my mind and body. Originally I was just looking for a personal trainer, but Jessica goes above and beyond just what we do at the gym as a health coach. Her constant daily support, immense knowledge of nutrition, and her spirit has made this health journey stick more than my attempts of the past. I highly recommend Jessica if you’re ready to put in the work and change your life for the better.

Jessica has been great to work with. Much more than a personal trainer, she has helped me engage in healthy habits and held me accountable to myself and my goals. I’ve lost almost 40 lbs over the past 5 months and in a way that feels comfortable and sustainable. Hiring Jessica was one of the best decisions I’ve made and I strongly recommend her to anyone looking to get strong and healthy for the long haul.

When I started working with Jessica, I wasn't completely new to fitness — but I wasn't committed to it, either. When I did go the gym, my workouts consisted of cardio and a few reps using 10-lb. dumbbells. While I tried to maintain a healthy looking appearance, I didn’t feel strong. With no consistent routine or motivation to go the gym more than a handful of times per year, I never saw the results I wanted. I needed the direction, motivation, and knowledge to make exercise as part of my lifestyle, not just a task on my To-Do List. Working with a health and wellness coach seemed intimidating, but ended up being one of the best things I've ever done. When I met Jessica with Aruna Health and Wellness, I knew instantly that she was passionate about helping others. She's the kind of person you'd want to be friends with, because she leaves you feeling better than she found you. She asked me in-depth questions about my lifestyle and goals, so she could tailor the plan to fit my needs. When our intake session was complete, my anxiety had turned to excitement. Though she lives nearly 45 minutes away from me, Jessica was always on time (and often early) to our 6:45 A.M. sessions, twice per week. She never canceled, either. Regardless of what she had going on outside of the gym, she always maintained a calm, professional, and positive vibe. Her demeanor made even the toughest workouts pretty fun. Each workout session left me feeling more confident. Even on the mornings we didn't meet, she would send a text to check in with me. It was the accountability I had been missing, and I always looked forward to reading her affirmations. There were many mornings I felt like quitting, or canceling a session, but her encouragement kept me committed. Jessica convinced me that as long as I tried my best at everything, I couldn't fail. And I didn't. After a few weeks of new workouts and gradually increasing the weight I lifted, I began to see big changes in the mirror. In addition to feeling stronger and looking more toned, I had a adopted a better mindset. "I don't think I can do it," turned into, "I'll give it my best shot!" During our sessions, Jessica also readily offered nutritional advice and holistic remedies that would boost my progress in the gym and heal my body as it recovered. I changed my diet significantly with her suggestions. She made sure I never over-did an exercise, because safety is one of her biggest priorities. One of my fears about lifting heavy weights was injuring my back. Jessica took extra time to demonstrate exactly how to complete each exercise (as many times as necessary) with the proper form and tempo. Because of her patience, I now confidently complete my workout routine without fear that I might hurt myself. And I don't reach for the 10 lb. weights. Jessica has successfully helped me transform my body, and taught me the importance of self-care. If you're on the fence about working with a health and wellness coach, my advice is: Do it anyway. And if you want results that last a lifetime, make sure you’re working with Jessica at Aruna Health and Wellness.

With four months of consistent work I now see myself both physically and mentally stronger, thanks to Jessica. Prior to working with Jessica the gym was always daunting, the fear of being judged, not knowing proper form, or any exercises outside of the treadmill and jumping jacks. I spent 30 minutes looking around the gym judging MYSELF. After working with Jessica and learning a variety of exercises with intervals and mobility, 30 minutes now means I’ve only gotten to my warmup and stretching before moving on to my routine. I now feel comfortable doing all the exercises Jessica has shared with me. She makes me feel comfortable even when pushing more weight, or pushing through that last interval is UNCOMFORTABLE. I feel comfortable asking for help. I feel comfortable in the gym on my own. And More importantly I feel CONFIDENT and comfortable in my skin and my new found workout clothes! Now not only has Jessica helped and motivated me with getting to the gym and learning new ways to strengthen my body, but she’s helped me strengthen my mind. Together we celebrate even the small victories and set weekly goals that include physical and mental practices. Her timing is always impeccable sending reminders to STOP and drink water right when you need it the most. And let’s not forget her GIF motivational messages that usually give me my daily dose of laughing. All in all 10/10 to Jessica for being a great trainer, and general health and wellness coach. Cheers to being physically and mentally better today than we were the day before!
