Testimonials from Real Women
“I’ve struggled for decades and tried just about everything to lose weight. Siri’s compassion, knowledge and ability to teach me the skills required for healthy eating were exactly what I needed. Not only have I lost over 70 pounds in 7 months and eliminated my need for any medication, my cholesterol went from 168 to 156, my triglycerides from 181 to 116, and my glucose from 108 to 83. I can’t thank you enough. Women’s Way has done for me what countless other organizations and diets couldn’t. Thank you, Siri and Frederic. I am so grateful.”
“In a non-judgmental and gentle approach, Freida has helped me uncover the “root causes” of why I overeat. Freida offers advice and practical strategies to change behavioral patterns repeated over years. I look forward to her shared wisdom at our meetings. I especially appreciate her humor, workable solutions to daily life, and upbeat attitude.”
“I was marked with an expiration date that was my own making. I had reached the point where my future was far shorter than my past. I heard constantly “if you don’t lose weight you will not live to see 40″. Did I mention I am 34? I have had a struggle with my weight since I was 10 years old. I have tried every diet you could think of, and I weigh too much to qualify for gastric bypass. God’s grace led me to Siri and Women’s Way. Since starting work with Siri I am learning to let guilt go and I am being honest with myself and others about food and its role in my life. This is not a diet – it is my life – and I am slowly getting my life back. Frederic has helped me learn to relax and to be able to feel my feelings. God has blessed me with two wonderful people to help me escape from the shell my body has become. So far, I have lost 72 pounds and gained hope that I will live to be old and gray.”
“My experience with weight loss programs has always been negative and unsuccessful. Some of these programs offered short term success, but there was always a distinct drop off point when I would return to my former habits. Women’s Way has opened a new door for me. Siri and Frederic have taught me valuable lessons about how to not only handle my relationship with food, but with life! The skills I have learned have been instrumental in changing my life in a positive manner. I’ve become more active, more aware of my eating and behavioral patterns and have learned to be more forgiving of myself and others. And, I’ve lost weight in the process, too! It has taken me many years to insulate myself with all this weight…but with Siri’s guidance and encouragement, I am going to shed myself of not only the weight, but the need to keep it. I look forward to continuing the journey.”
“Meeting with Siri every week is like a motivational breath of fresh air. She provides a safe place away from judgement and guilt to come and relax, talk, learn, and make continued goals for myself. Her extraordinary compassion and sincerity gives me what I need when dealing with and improving my weight-related issues.”
“I’ve suffered from knee pain for over a year. After rounds of physical therapy and doses of anti-inflammatory medication, I did not get much relief and learned to live with the pain. I never shared my knee problems with any of the staff at Women’s Way. I was in a small group lession led by Frederic. Frederic started to lead our group through a set of exercises using our whole body. Secretly, I was dreading doing what he was demonstrating because I knew my knee would hurt more than it already did. I kept my fears to myself and did the exercises. I was amazed to feel no pain in my “bad” knee. In fact, my knee felt great! It was nothing short of miraculous for me to be able to bend and stretch my leg without even a twinge of pain. I continue to use Frederic’s exercises to help me improve my flexibility and strength.”
