In Alignment Coaching Reviews 20

I first came to Ariana having struggled with stress eating and emotional eating for years (I was feeling hopeless!). From the first call, I instantly felt at ease and knew I made the right choice. Ariana's guidance is sincere, compassionate, understanding and straight up fun! The best part? She makes it relatable and practical. The Just Eat Normally program is what I signed up for and the webinars were easy to follow, inspiring and I experienced loads of AHA moments!! The resources were to the point, super useful and made me stay accountable to "do the work". I really enjoyed the weekly community meetings and was so surprised to hear how many people had a similar experience to me when I thought for so long, I was alone. All to say, I haven't binge eaten in five months (insane!) and hope to keep this up. For the first time since I can remember, I enjoy going out to eat with friends, can be spontaneous without micro-managing myself, feel free from body image woes, and feel so connected to my body and emotional needs. Thank you Ariana and the Just Eat Normally community for your support. I recommend this program in a heartbeat.

I took part in Ari’s online program during one of the most vulnerable times in my life: right after giving birth to my child. As someone who struggled with disordered eating since primary school it was tough to gain 25kg in just nine months and I was in a rather bad mental space – beating myself up for things that were out my control, yet for the first time in my life not wanting to diet so I could continue breastfeeding.

Then I found Ari and she changed my life. Her holistic approach, connecting knowledge and embodiment, is unlike any other approach I have seen. And most importantly: it is doable. Working with Ari has given me so many things: theoretical knowledge about health and nutrition, confidence not only in my body but also my ability to correctly identify my body’s needs, tools to handle stressful situations (of any kind, not only food related!), the freedom to say yes or no to food and the curiosity to try new ways to move my body just for the fun of it and not to achieve certain “beauty standards“. So, I would like to thank Ari for being the warm, supportive, kind soul that she is and I cannot recommend her program enough! If you’re unsure about signing up to her program – this is your sign to say YES!

Before I met Ariana, my relationship with food and my body was at an all time low. My self-esteem also impacted so many other areas of my life. At this time, I had had a huge realization that I had been on a diet for the past 3 and a half years. Every week began with I’ll start again on Monday, after a weekend of uncontrollable bingeing. My friendships were affected, as I often found myself tearful putting on clothes and getting ready, and it created an anxious attachment in romantic relationships.
Ariana made me feel heard, and showed me real empathy. Despite my background in studying nutrition, Ariana explained things to me in a way I hadn’t thought of before, and made me want to actively nourish my body. All the resources were super easy to read, understand and implement. She also customized a plan for me, with my food likes and dislikes, making it a seamless fit. I can now say, since working with Ariana, I have not counted calories, restricted any food groups, forced myself to exercise, or felt shame about enjoying certain meals once. The skills she has taught me have been invaluable to my life, and I have seen this in so many other aspects too! My career goals, relationship standards, and self respect have all been visited through this journey, offering me clarity I have never experienced before!
If any of my experience resonates with you, working with Ariana will be such a great decision and step towards full food and body happiness!

Before I started working with Ariana, I felt beholden to societal norms regarding body image and exercise. I often ate mindlessly and had lots of food rules which kept me imprisoned. I'd meticulously plan all dinners out, exercise in ways that always felt like a slog, and was essentially very disconnected from myself.

Ariana's guidance has been invaluable in redefining my relationship to food, movement and my body. With her help, I'm now able to tap into my hunger and fullness, which I never thought was possible. I don't see exercise as an excuse to eat 'bad' food but engage in movement I genuinely enjoy. In fact, there are no 'good' or 'bad' foods anymore! I'm far more aware of why, when and what I eat so that I can honour my body more. The most useful element was the manageable challenges each week, such as leaving a bite on the plate or splitting my breakfast in 2 parts, to question my beliefs around food.

Her work is so holistic, I've also understood other areas of my life which has been nothing short of fascinating! I'm so grateful that she's also helped bridge the gap between science and spirituality, which is applicable to areas other than food, such as work and health more broadly.

Thank you endlessly Ariana!!! It's been a pleasure :)

I came to Ari for support with emotional eating. I was feeling so much guilt and shame and felt stuck in this unhealthy coping strategy. Ari was kind and compassionate and supported me holistically, improving my relationship with food and body alongside other areas of my life (sleep, work, relationships etc.). I feel so empowered as a result of working with her and now have the knowledge and tools to experience my emotions fully (rather than numbing them with food). I love the embodiment tools she has provided me with too! Working with Ari has changed my life for the better. I feel so grateful to have been guided and supported by her and recommend her services wholeheartedly.

I am incredibly grateful to work with Ariana. In addition to her warmth and generosity, her approach is truly unique. She genuinely focuses on seeing her clients first and foremost as a person with feelings, emotions and lived history. With a whole array of techniques and tools, she has challenged me to make positive changes while holding a safe and non-judgemental space. I have grown immensely during my time with her. Not only has my approach to food evolved, but I seen massive changes through out my life from valuing myself, investing in nourishing relationships, moving for joy to job satisfaction. The experience has been extremely exciting, challenging, transformational and rewarding

After struggling with eating for some years I started working with Ariana, and it has honestly been one of the best decisions I have ever made. From being overly 'health'-conscious, having a very limited diet and having no flexibility around food, I am now able to do and eat things which when I was at my lowest I never though I would ever be able to do again. Ariana is so friendly and has been an incredible support and I don't think I would be where I am today without her :) Thank you so much!

I worked 1:1 for 12 weeks with Ariana at a time when I felt very low and had lost my confidence and belief in myself. Over the next year I had some follow up calls to help me stay on track. The tools I learned with Ariana and the kindness and support I received set me on a new path. 2 years later I am fit and healthy and now like who I see in the mirror. I still receive her newsletters and tips which I get so much from. I've signed up for Ariana's Embodiment Toolkit so I can continue exploring ways to live a healthy life.

Ariana has helped our daughter who presented with an early signs of eating disorder. She was patient, listened attentively and gave ample advice and support to our child. We’ve noticed a difference and our daughter’s willingness to change her rating habits after only 3 sessions. She is now happy to eat regular meals, experiments with cooking and actively asks for a varied diet. She feels empowered to eat well and take care of herself. Thank you Ariana for your heart-centered approach.

Great advice both related to the mental approach as well as nutritional habits. Great results. Wide range of support for the entire family, including vegan/vegetarian needs

We met Ariana when our daughter was admitted to an eating disorder inpatient unit in 2020 - Ariana was the dietician. She left as her own business was taking off and we have followed her ever since! Ariana has been a lifesaver. She is always there for our daughter to tap into, always ready to discuss any concerns / set-backs. Ariana has been a tremendous support and continues to be so. Kind, compassionate, understanding and full of empathy. It's good to know she is there at anytime. Thank you Ariana - we are truly blessed to have met you along this journey.

There just aren’t enough positive words I can say about Ariana. Not only is she kind-hearted and compassionate, she is incredibly knowledgeable, and her constant encouragement and support is unfaltering.
After a lifetime of disordered eating, and an unfortunate spiral into anorexia, I honestly thought I was beyond help. I told Ariana as much, but I’m so happy to say how wrong I was!

Not only did she teach me so much about nutrition (and about myself); she took the time to understand me, and challenged me to change my habits, whilst always being kind, non-judgemental and supportive. Her positive energy is infectious and I can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am without her.
Thank you, Ariana, you’re the best!

Ariana is an incredible soul and human. I attended my very first Cacao Ceremony led by her two weeks ago. The whole experience has been really powerful and grounding - I felt an immense sense of peace afterwards. I would 100% recommend it to a friend.

I met Ariana during a really difficult crisis point, where my whole life was dictated by binging-restricting-trying not to binge-inevitably binging again. Even though I was no longer underweight when I met Ariana, I was still utterly obsessed with food. She helped me completely reframe my relationship with food.

It was like Ariana gave me some tools and incentive to slow that cycle. It still took time before I was binge free, but I believe those 10 sessions with her were absolutely essential to breaking my binging habit & allowing me to eat more intuitively than I ever thought was possible.

Ariana is one of a kind. A truly wonderful human and kind soul. She is an incredible teacher and lead me through my first ever Cacao Ceremony. It was a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Ari guided us through powerful visualisations and brought so much electricity with embodied movement! I found the experience enlightening, it led me to a greater sense of clarity and focus. I would 100% recommend Ari's events and support to a friend!

My time with Ariana was invaluable.
She really helped me understand how nourishing my body goes way beyond the merely physical and that there’s so much more than meets the eye. While working with Ariana I really felt a sense of trust like I was being heard when I had the courage to explore very personal experiences. I have truly felt a boost in my confidence and love of self as a result and would truly recommend the service! Would definitely recommend Ariana's service to anyone!

Ariana is one of the kindest, most caring and empathic people I have ever met. Not only has she educated me on nutrition and the complex way it can interact with your body, she's also taught me to recognise my emotional cues and how best to combat them. One of the amazing things about Ariana is she genuinely cares, she wants you to be free, to be the person you were born to be, the person without those life limiting demons.

I wouldn't be where I am now if it weren't for Ariana, I will always be eternally grateful for her help and guidance in what has been the hardest thing I've ever had to face. If you have the opportunity to work with Ariana then grab it with both hands, you won't be sorry and you certainly won't look back.

Ariana was an amazing teacher and guide at the cacao ceremony. It was a truly powerful experience and one that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to my girlfriends.

I am incredibly lucky to have Ariana in my team in my quest to normalise my eating and exercise habits. Talking to Ariana i quickly knew through her experience she could read my mind but at the same time i was not just another case, i felt heard for the first time. Our conversations have been open, interesting, geeky, and sometimes a little weird :) (breathing at my laptop thousands of miles away!) but…she has guided me through my ugliest thoughts, guilt, and frustration, and given me the tools to forgive myself, understand and trust in myself and others. I have gained back so so much of my life. Ariana supported me throughout the covid period, through two international moves, a new job and throughts regarding having children. I am still on my journey and know me (and my husband) can turn to her for advise, support or just a good chat at any time! I am so so so grateful. I wish everyone like me could have access to someone like Ariana!

I can’t truly express how wonderful Arianna is and how instrumental she has been to my recovery. Not only is she filled with knowledge about dietetics but she is tuned in with the world and how to help people on their journey as a whole! She goes above and beyond, always offering advice and sharing wisdom, working to help you build a trust in her so you can build a trust with yourself. Arianna has an honesty and kindness that is inspiring; I always come away feeling more positive and in touch with what I need to do next in my recovery but also a drive to be better as a person and find a love for life like she has. Nothing is ever impossible and Arianna will be your biggest cheerleader!
