I would like to share my wonderful experience with Yasmine. We started our health coaching session only one month ago. I was at my worst level of health – I can’t work or exercise or even do my simple task as a mother to my family. Yasmine helped me to get to my energy and myself back in no time. My energy is coming back and I started exercise yesterday for the first time in a very long time! I was also able to go out with my family and enjoy it instead of being exhausted and sitting most of the time. Her magic words that got me was when she told me “I believe in baby steps” and you will get your old self slowly – withoutpressure. I had back pain for the past 8 years and I did all kinds of Physio, Accupanture, Yoga etc. Not one practitioner told me to try stoping gluten and dairy and see how I feel. I feel so much better !!! Yasmine, from our first visit and consultation was able to pinpoint my main issues and knew what steps to take to help start feeling better. I will continue with her till the end, I love her advice and her beautiful energy. Thank you!

Yasmine m’a donné tout le support nécessaire pour rejoindre les objectifs que je m’étaient fixés. Grâce à son écoute et son soutien psychologique, elle a su m’accompagner en me donnant les outils et la motivation pour reprendre le contrôle sur ma santé et poursuivre mes bonnes habitudes. Yasmine, merci d’avoir participé activement à ma quête du bien-être!

Yasmine is a great supporter who helped me realize my objective and what I want to achieve through out our sessions. She helped me re-focus my objective and goals from one that was centered around what others wanted me to achieve to one that truly represented my needs and goals and what I wanted to achieve. For her it wasn’t just about providing me with a meal plan to follow and that’s it. On the contrary, she understands that there is an emotional and psychological aspect that goes along with losing weight and reaching your health goals. It is important to break through these emotional barriers in order to reach our goals and truly break free from these barriers that are holding us back. She is a great listener who helps you achieve your goals while taking your day to day activities into consideration. She is always there whenever you need her and her positive vibe and encouraging words and advice help you keep going when you feel lost, confused or down. Thank you Yasmine for your continuous support and guidance, it has been a great pleasure working with you. And thank you for helping me realize that I need to focus on what I need and want to achieve instead of what others want.

No words or thanks can describe how grateful I am for you having teaching the essence of healthy living and eating. You empowered me to take my health into my hands, understand my body’s physical and emotional needs, and how to continue to take care of myself and my family. You have been a real partner in my journey of health – authentic, caring and supportive of my goals every step of the way – beyond what a client would expect from his health practitioner. You made me feel I was talking to a dear friend, always reachable, always answering my questions white educating and guiding me. God bless you for the difference you have made in my life.

It wasn’t only about changing my food habits, but the talks that I shared with you and how you comforted me and gave me strength and hope was so special. I have never met you face to face but I feel I have know you for a long time. Thank you for all your support and guidance.

Thank you Yasmine for putting me on the right track and helping me on my weight loss journey. Your approach is very holistic in that you look at the person as a whole and take your time to fully understand their dietary and medical history. Once a program is in place you are very diligent in your follow-up, checking in regularly and going beyond what is expected from a health coach. I felt I could reach out to you at any time in the knowledge that you would respond as soon as possible with a solution to issues. I greatly appreciated all you did for me.!

Dear Yasmine, I would like to thank you for the effort, support and guidance you gave me during our coaching sessions. The system we created at home – which ingredients to add to my dishes,  which to let go of, how to time my meals, what to eat to manage my weight and optimize the nutrition in our meals are tools I have gained for life. The breakthrough result has been bringing my digestion back to normal after years of suffering from bloating, pain, being on medication and more! Thank you! You are the best Nutrition and Health Coach!

I had never thought about getting help for my nutrition/diet needs. Since my first pregnancy I became more aware of my food sources and choices that will ultimately nourish my child. This awareness continued post birth and until today. Nevertheless, I was always interested in learning about how to optimize our nutrition and I have been closely following Yasmine’s growth and journey. Last summer, after two injuries, a long break , a couple of add on kilos, and a general state of inertia, I finally reached out to Yasmine for coaching.

I loved the fact that she does not push her own agenda on you, she builds our awareness and provides guidance for us to make better choices. I was truly impressed by the depth of her knowledge and by quality of follow up after each session. She backs everything she recommends. And it is only up to me to take her guidance to the level I am comfortable with. Her tools are so simple: we started out with a food diary which was an immediate eye opener. We worked a plan to commit to regular weekly exercise and we would have mini goals after each session.

Our weekly touchpoints anchored me and like a kid I was looking forward to share with her my “accomplishment’” or my “eureka moments”. After the inevitable falling off balance during the xmas holidays, I was surprised to see that my efforts had not gone in vain at the start of 2018! I am a firm believer in Yasmine and her abilities to help a person reach their desired goal. She is the ultimate reference point for me and I highly recommend her to all my friend that express a desire in seeking out better nutrition for themselves and their families.

Yasmine is professional, respectful, energetic, emphatic, and most importantly she is driven by her passion to raise awareness and educate people in a fun way and respecting one’s boundaries.

thank you Yasmine.
Love you

This whole group interaction made it a great experience I must admit… Yasmine Defouni a big huge thank you for pulling this off it has really changed how I eat even when traveling and the most amazing thing is my cravings and taste for foods that I like have fundamentally changed thank you.

I wanted to share with you my experience so far because I never thought I would be able to stick to the program without feeling hungry or having cravings that I cannot control. I was for sure wrong. So far, I am eating healthy and enjoying it. I don’t skip meals, I eat on time, I don’t get hungry and the best part is that I already learned so much in 4 days. My husband got interested in learning more about the program and the benefits of clean eating – he is following the guidelines and decided to change his eating habits as well. I have to say that now I look forward opening Facebook to get inspired by a new post of a creative dish/meal….

Hi All!!! I am very excited to join the program and nice to see familiar faces here.I joined the challenge because I’m very interested in changing my eating habits and learn how to eat right. I used to lead a very unhealthy diet, eating one meal a day and not eating enough vegetables and fruits. Not to mention the amount of toxins and hormones that is in everything we eat. My main focus was to lose a couple of kilos, but then realized that while eating right and giving my body what it needs rather than what it doesn’t need – it will help me reach my optimum weight. Since I’m a beginner, I have to say that the group concept is very motivating and having Yasmine Defouni‘s guidance will help me learn so much.

Yasmine, I can’t thank you enough for transforming my life!! I am finally making the right food choices. I am well informed about everything I eat or drink, and I am fully aware of the health benefits that each ingredient adds to my body, mind, and soul. Not only that, but I am now able to set realistic and achievable goals that take my entire life through gradual steps towards success. Thanks to Healthytude, I learned how to keep a balance between different aspects of my life and to strive to improve every day.
