Testimonials

“If you are ready to get well, talk to Allison. You won’t be disappointed. When I started with Allison on her 3 month program, I had a LOT of health issues. Allison not only tailored her program to fit my exact needs, but she also did research on my many diagnosis to find out how she could best serve me. My nutrition and digestion has significantly improved!
Allison has tremendously helped me spiritually and mentally as well. Suffering with with depression, anxiety, a bad body image, and all the stuff that goes along with chronic illness, Allison has empowered me along this journey to love myself - flaws and all. Giving my body the grace it needs to heal.
If you ask me, that’s what sets her apart from other nutritionists and life coaches. She desires to help you heal from the inside out. She truly cares about YOU.
My 3 month experience with Allison was so great, I signed up for another 3 months. My life and business has changed significantly since I met her! All in all, highly recommend!”

“I reached out to Allison of AM Wellness six weeks ago. I was suffering from depression and weight gain due to the effects of COVID 19. Allison got me started right away on a custom plan to best fit my goals. She supported me with weekly meetings and on demand support whenever I needed it. She is very knowledgeable about nutrition and emotions connected to food. She is trained in mindfulness and meditation as well and was able to ground me into my body so I could really dive into the true issues behind my weight gain and lack of energy. In six weeks, I lost 10 lbs, my skin cleared up, I gained back my energy, and I reduced inflammation in my body. I signed up for another six weeks with Ally because I need her support to move forward. Her program is affordable and there’s no gimmicks or magic pills. Allison is a loving human and truly wants to help. She has my highest recommendation.”

“I’ve been working with Allison for 3 months and have loved every minute of it <3 For me, I’ve always struggled with weight (I LOVE FOOD). With my obsession with food and emotional eating I’ve became constantly obsessed with my looks and how ugly I felt about myself. I would REFUSE to take any pictures with my husband, kids, friends, etc. In working with Allison I have learned new tools and skills in moving forward in the areas that I felt stuck in, and became self empowered…like seriously, right now I feel like nothing can stop me…. To Date I have lost 25lb and I only feel like this is a start!! I started taking selfies again, back into running (signed for a 10k), and most importantly started loving ME again!”

“When I first came to see Allison, I had gained weight but even more, I felt terrible. My food choices were not even close to healthy with an addiction to sugar that I couldn’t seem to pull out of on my own. Working with Allison has been a fantastic experience. She is warm and positive, but also pushes you when you really need to be pushed. My sessions with her are almost therapy, working through food and emotional issues that formed in childhood. I have completely kicked my sugar addiction and have turned the corner on learning how to nourish my body with food instead of focusing on what I get to eat next. To top it off I’ve lost 17 pounds to date and have more energy than I have had the last few years. I can’t recommend Allison enough!”

“The fact that I can actually make better choices that make a difference in my health and general well-being has been an eye-opener for me. As a long-term (23 years) diabetic, I’ve seen my numbers not only drop to acceptable levels, but to also not fluctuate. I’ve heard claims from every diet expert and supplement pusher that if I only took their product I’d see not only weight loss, but an increase in energy. Until Allison I never experienced much of anything at all. I can definitely say that not only are my excess pounds coming off, but I actually wake up in the morning just naturally wanting to get started on my day. For me, that is huge! My favorite part, bar none, was speaking to Allison once a week. Being accountable really works for me, as I’ve spent the last 50 years of my life accountable to nobody other than myself. What a privilege! I would describe Allison’s coaching style as unconditionally supportive, compassionate, understanding, accepting and completely non-judgmental, soothing, positive reinforcement, concentrating on all that’s good and on what can become better, encouraging, motivating, and wonderfully kind and delightful. She makes me want to become that better, healthier person I know I can be, and does it effortlessly and lovingly. She is a gift.”

“Allison’s approach is very understanding and supportive. I came into this thinking the biggest takeaway would be the weight loss. I love the weight loss, but the biggest takeaway has been the emotional and mental growth I’ve experienced since I started working with her. I feel like I’m growing into a healthier, stronger, smarter version of myself and I am loving every minute of it. I have a deeper understanding of where my negative self image comes from and why it’s wrong. More importantly, I am continuing to learn how to overcome these feelings and THAT is the biggest takeaway. I tell EVERYONE about AM Wellness and how much Allison has changed my life.”

“I would like to first speak to the generosity of Allison in gifting me her services during an extremely difficult time in my life. Thank you Allison! As a person who has been a life-long rider of the weight roller-coaster, I am grateful for the way in which Allison worked with me to understand and make sense of my relationship with food. Allison is knowledgeable and encouraging, but even more importantly, she demonstrates unconditional positive regard, love, and respect for her clients - even when they may not be demonstrating that to themselves. I learned I could love vegetables, even more than meat, and that fasting is really easily doable! Allison helped me to put myself first and to remember who I am, through guided meditation, mindfulness, journaling, and her positive and supportive coaching. She helped me to reimagine and feel hopeful for my future and to take things day by day by committing to leading a fuller, more holistic life. It’s not about being perfect, but loving myself enough to actually take care of myself by how I treat my body. ”

“Allison has taught me to look deep within myself and to ask questions and be curious. She has taught me not only how to properly nourish my body but also as to the why. This approach has resonated with me more than any other approach I have ever taken before on my health journey. I have learned to make this a life commitment and that I am worth it. I can’t thank Allison enough for helping, supporting, and taking such an individualized approach. I felt listened to, understood, and cared for during this journey, I in return will continue to treat myself the same. ”

“I reached out to Allison after dealing with debilitating chronic migraines for the last few years, not really knowing what to expect. Allison was incredibly understanding and encouraging, helping me try different food and lifestyle changes. I have actually seen a reduction in my migraines from incorporating her recommendations (which I am still shocked about!). Allison also helped me make plans for social engagements, and was always so reassuring when I had questions or concerns. I cannot recommend Allison enough and I am so glad I was able to participate in her program!”

“I had a great time completing the 6 week program! I learned how to eat more balanced meals and overall felt lighter and overall better with less symptoms I had prior to starting. I had fun learning to cook in ways I haven’t before. Allison was so helpful, supportive, and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and was always available if I had any questions or concerns. She has great ideas and recommendations and I loved spending this time with her and learning from her. Great program, I recommend it!”

“Allison helped me overcome digestive issues I was experiencing about a month ago and opened up my eyes to how powerful and important my diet is to my overall health. She thoroughly investigated what was going on by checking in with me everyday / multiple times a day to see how I was feeling based off what foods I was eating and what exercise I was doing.
Switching to a plant based diet, eliminating processed foods and taking away gluten/dairy/coffee helped me have more energy, got rid of my digestion issues and even inspired me to make new recipes with all fresh ingredients. I found that eliminating dairy in my diet in particular has made me feel the best, so moving forward I now know to stay away from dairy products.
Allison has always been there for me (as a friend as well!) anytime I need help with nutrition, wellness and fitness. She is so knowledgable and I know I can trust her more than any temporary or trendy diet. I’m definitely committed to eating more consciously and incorporating more veggies + fruit in my diet everyday! ”

“I chose to work with Allison because at the time I was looking for a nutritionist and knowing that she was a yoga teacher helped me narrow down who I wanted to work with. I was looking for someone who knew about the physical, but someone who also knew that there is a lot of internal work that is directly connected to how and what we eat.
During Allison’s 3 month program, I really had a lot of fun. I think I was ready to pay attention to my body. I am grateful for the road that got me to the point where I was ready to make changes. I learned habits that have helped me so much and that in the safety of her coaching I was given the time to make mistakes and try again. Every week and every day I could start again and make new and healthier choices.
Before working with Allison, I was used to feeling what I called normal. After, I noticed more energy available to me, wanting to do more around the house and overall felt lighter. During the first weeks, my body got rid of mucus which is crazy to me. I don’t want to be gross but actual mucus was coming out. My body always amazes me at how smart it is and how it always loves me. It is always working for me!
My favorite part of the experience was the the 5 day cleanse!!! Hands down.
The biggest takeaway has been my new habits which I still practice daily. I’ve continued to eliminate dairy and wheat from my diet. Also, my overall self awareness of why I want to eat certain foods.
I definitely recommend this program to others if you feel ready to make changes: This is the perfect way of doing it! It is an investment on your health!”

“I just participated in Allison’s 3 month health program (continuing for another 3 months) and am getting back on track to have a better relationship with food. in the past, I’ve struggled with portion control, unhealthy snacking, and ice-cream! Allison taught me how to “replace” unhealthy options with healthier ones that taste just as good :) I’m inspired to cook more often and to eat Whole Foods, not processed ones.
Not only has this improved my digestion but I was able to get rid of a lengthy infection that wasn’t going away with a few types of medications. My doctor had recommended I change my diet and Allison helped me make those necessary changes.
Allison also helps relieve stress, and get motivated in all aspects of your life, she teaches you behavioral modifications you can do to improve your mind+body+health in general.
I’m so thankful to have her as a mentor, coach, and friend. highly recommend!”

“A.M. Wellness is a one on one experience where you can identify your true struggles holistically as a whole being verses each individual problem or struggle you may have. Allison’s uplifting spirit makes the journey that much for positive. No matter what emotions you face, she is there to hold your hand and show you, you do not need to worry.”

“I am coming to end of my 3 month program with Allison! I’ll be honest in that I don’t do well with any kind of food related program, as my sheer will or lack of will power gets in the way. But I lost 9lbs since I’ve started and I’m continuing to slowly lose a few more. Once this is over, it’s not really over. It’s rather a new beginning for me, in that I know how to eat better foods and be more creative. I know what is good for me and why, and I’ve been given the tools to create meals that are healthy and exciting. Not just “healthy” foods. But whole, colorful, delicious meals! Additionally, I never truly understood what intermittent fasting was, and through this program I am able to explore that and it will continue to be a way of living for me. Allison is generous with her time and her knowledge and she is very insightful as well! I have a new belief that if you want to accomplish something, you can do so, you just need to have the right person/program to help you get there. And that’s what Allison gave to me!”

“I started with Allison to work on healthy eating and nutrition. My sessions with her evolved into overarching discussions about wellness and how I view and utilize food in every aspect of my health...emotional and daily habits especially. I feel safe and supported when sharing private details and experiences that may be linked to unhealthy eating behaviors. She holds space for me and shares tools and resources without judgement. I did 6 sessions and recognized how valuable speaking with her weekly helps me to gently shift my negative thoughts...it takes practice. I signed on for 6 additional sessions. She is a gem.”

“I joined the program looking to lose a few pounds and live a healthier lifestyle in order to help me be successful in my active career. I had no idea how wonderfully this program would impact me. Not only did I lose the weight I wanted, but I also gained so much energy from following the plan that Allison built for me. The nutrition plans are easy to follow and stick to. I didn’t have to sacrifice tastes I enjoy to have high quality physically and mentally beneficial meals. That was the biggest part for me. This lifestyle change has help me look and feel the way that I’ve always wanted! Allison is extremely responsive and helped through the entire experience.”

“I highly recommend Allison as a nutrition health coach. No matter what issues I am dealing with she helps me through it mind, body and spirit. The tools she has given me have helped me to be more confident and get my health on a much better track. She is encouraging, calming and the ultimate coach for health and wellness! ”

“I have been working with Dr. Schefer for a few months now and he’s already exceeded the care I’ve gotten from any other doctors. Dr. Schefer is patient and kind, you will see how passionate and caring he is the first time you speak with him. He treats you as an individual, and works with a holistic approach to get your body in a place where it can heal itself. Whenever I don’t understand something, he takes the time to thoroughly explain it, until I do. He’s given me hope to proceed in my healing journey… and before meeting him, I didn’t think that was something I could attain. I have also been working with Allison, she is a nutritionist/health coach who works with Dr. Schefer. Allison is gentle and caring. She takes the time to understand how and why I feel certain ways. She guides me to be the best version of myself. Allison has been working with me to improve my mental health, as well as teach me the knowledge I need to properly nourish and fuel my body. In my personal experience, the mental aspects of healing are often overlooked- but they are just as important because everything is connected. I love that True Nature acknowledges this and utilizes more than one approach. Both of them encourage communication, and don’t hesitate to be there when you need them. I am so grateful to be a patient of the True Nature Healing Center, and I look forward to healing my mind and body. I have acquired understanding, support, and encouragement- I can now proudly say I know I am finally on my route towards really healing. I would highly recommend the True Nature Healing Center to anyone in search of a good team. Thank you both for all you have done for me, I couldn’t do it without you.”

“I was amazed at how Allison’s program made such a difference in how I feel and how I approach eating, exercise, healing by food, meditation, and pretty much every other aspect of my life. She really helps you with a lifestyle change, not just a short-term fix. Her approach is holistic and her nutritional knowledge is outstanding. I had not-so-good numbers from my blood tests at my doctor. My A1C was very high, and my liver enzymes were also very high. Only after two months of working with Allison did my A1C come down significantly into the good range, and my liver enzymes became normal. I was not able to do this on my own; nothing I had tried in the past had helped with these. I was so impressed and amazed.

She will work with you on several aspects of life, such as the emotional attachment to food, stress reduction with breathing techniques, overall emotional awareness, and determining the healthy foods that you really like and incorporating them. It was difficult for me at first, but working with Allison was life-changing. She is very kind, works at your pace, and is a joy to just meet with. She motivates you to want to work on different aspects of her program, and it really pays off. I am very thankful to her for many things and would highly recommend her as your health and life coach.”

“Allison managed the day to day dietary recommendations, with feedback from patient, tweaked it for balance and side effects (stomach ache, bowl movements etc). Maintained thorough communication with patient (immediate response to all patient inquiries and concerns). Allison also regularly reached out to patient, unrequested, to keep her motivated and inspired to continue with her structured diet.
And.....
SUCCESS!!!!
Well Beyond Expected!
Thanks for everything.
You are REAL GOOD at what you’ve chosen to do.”
