 "I have known Sandy since 1998 when we were both employed by a Hartford area Fortune 100 company.  In that environment, Sandy was known for her sharp instincts and ability to get any job done right and on time, always bringing out the best on others.  She was also an amazing presenter and was a core team member of our traveling finals presentation team for large accounts.

In March 2006, I began working with Sandy as client. I was dealing with those extra pounds that had challenged me for several years. As a result of my relationship with Sandy, I changed my eating patterns and how I look at food, and have also become a devoted exercise buff (something I was never into before.)  I am now more fit than ever in my life.

I don’t know where I’d be today without Sandy. She has been a tremendous influence on me in adopting a healthy eating lifestyle, and most of all maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle for three years now. The big difference in my opinion with Sandy versus other weight programs is that Sandy uses more of an educational and coaching approach.  

For me, working with Sandy has been a godsend. She has the patience and ability for me to see beyond the superficial part of weight control and see the health reasons behind maintaining and sustaining a normal weight pattern without major fluctuations! I recommend Sandy to almost everyone, she has a terrific way about her and her methodologies for weight loss and management is stellar! She is the best!”

"I have had the privilege of seeing Sandy perform in a several different settings and am always impressed. She is always outstanding, giving all she has to each new situation. She is professional, committed and on target. Her genuine compassion for others and desire to contribute their lives is readily apparent in all she does. does.

At Leadership Greater Hartford, we’ve utilized Sandy as a speaker/trainer as part of our Spring Leadership Training Series as well as in our Quest Development Program, a leadership program designed to prepare rising leaders for the challenges of building healthier communities.

Sandy’s workshops are engaging and thought provoking. Participants walk away with valuable new insights and a plan of action. What I like most about Sandy’s workshops is her ability to connect with her audience, have them take a new look into their lives, and leave with new insights.

I recommend Sandy’s workshops without hesitation. You just can’t go wrong with Sandy and all she brings to the table.."

On counseling....

"I have been enjoying the exercise more than I thought- I have been doing the abs and the wall push ups. I also got in an hour and a half of cross country skiing and a fast 30 minute walk this weekend. This is a great start and I am very motivated. You are in the right profession. "

"I never thought I could meet my weight and fitness goals through primarily phone coaching. This whole experience has been amazing. After Weight Watchers and Diminishing Dimensions, I've finally found a long-term program that works for me. I now get that it is about a lifestyle change, not a diet.. I don't know what I'd do without Sandy."

Toni, West Hartford, CT

" I hadn't run in at least 10 years, had gained about 20 pounds and I could not longer keep up with my kids. I tried a lot of diets and exercise programs, but nothing ever stuck with me. Sandy gave me just the right amount of information and inspiration to meet my weight and fitness goals. And, I really enjoyed the process."

Christopher; Agawam, MA

On seminars....

" Informal, comfortable setting that encourages interaction from the audience. I never realized the impact of "processed" foods that we eat."

MaryEllen, Glastonbury, CT

"I finally have good understanding of simple and complex carbs, but even more than that, I liked that I enjoyed taking the time to learn things that will lead me to a more well-nourished life. I will encourage my friends to attend future seminars. They will change your health and your life."

Julie, South Windsor, CT


"I liked everything about the workshop. The exercises allowed for personal exploration/application of the information right during the workshop. Sandra is passionate about wellness (her subject) and very engaging. Excellent!"
