TESTIMONIALS
My weight dropped from 90kg to 71kg, with Joana's help and orientation. I had tried fad diets and others before, but obviously it didn't work. This time, I lost weight in a healthier way. Joana is always available to answer any question. Excellent professional. There isn't much I can tell, looking at the pictures.

I started my food education with Joana about a year ago and I had surprisingly and satisfactory results, achieving my objective on losing weight and measures. Joana is a great professional, besides her kindness and friendly manner, she gives you confidence and determination to you to continue the treatment, always answering any question and adjusting your life with healthy food. Highly recommended!

Hi Joana, I really want to thank you for all the support you have given me during the whole process of losing weight. I started the first consultation in February this year (2017) and lost 14kg (this was my goal). What I was looking for when I started in February, was to lose weight in order to gain mobility because of my knee problem, the more weight I had, the more I was hindering my professional and personal life. My craving for sweets were changing my mood constantly and I also used to spend many hours without eating. At the first consultation I felt empathy for Joana's professionalism, friendly-manner and good sense of humour. My diet plan was always adapted to what I already ate with small changes that had a great effect on my weight loss. Joana always analysed the changes that were making the diet plan and the effect it had on me. I was very impressed with the dedication that Joana had on sending emails regularly a follow-up plan, which had a big effect on the results. What else kept me motivated was sharing my weight weekly and receiving congratulations on my results. That made me always super proud of me and gave me more strength and motivation to continue. I relearned how to shop and to vary the foods I used to buy, challenging me to try different vegetables for example, and taking home only what is good for me.
I super recommend Joana, in my case I wanted to lose weight and I didn't only lost 14kg but also left the consultations feeling more aware of what I am and how I am able to keep the weight (finally). I am very happy to have had the help of Joana and I hope she continues to mark people's lives in such a positive way.
