Here Are 3 Reasons You Should NOT Work With Me...

We need to be honest about something. Unlike all the other coaches out there, we’re not for everyone. So here are three reasons you should NOT work with me.

1

Don’t Work With me If You want to 'fix' the other person

Our clients are committed to themselves first and foremost. If you are in a place of wanting to blame others for your experiences, then you are not a fit for our programs.

Our clients showed up coachable, decisive, and willing to do the work on themselves. They didn’t make excuses. They faced their setbacks, overwhelm, challenges, and fears and transformed them. They owned their results and earned their success.

Your results are 100% up to you.

2

Don’t Work With me If you're not ready to invest in yourself

Doing the hard work to succeed in building healthy relationships takes an investment. You have to be willing to invest time, energy and yes, even money, in order to learn to value yourself so that transformation becomes possible.

Our clients want more. They want more pleasure, more joy and more intimacy in their lives and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. So if that’s not you, we still love you, but you’re not ready to work with us.

3

Don’t Work With me if you are still stuck in the 'victim' mindset

If you are sure that no one can help you and that you won't ever be able to have the kind of relationship that lets you wake up joyful and in gratitude every day, then this is not the place for you.

You may be thinking you'll be ready someday, but unless you are ready to let go of being the victim right now, it's not going to work. If you want someone else to come in and do the hard work of changing your life before you lift a finger to shift your own thoughts, beliefs and actions you won't be able to maintain the results.

  • If you know that you have a lot to offer to the people in your life but just don't know how to step up and show who you are

You’re not alone.

This process works. You can finally show up as YOU and experience fulfilling relationships.

Worth Every Penny

There are two words that sum up this experience – LIFE CHANGING. This investment in myself was worth every penny. The care and support I received is incredible.

Thriving Professionally and Personally

Thank you for everything! I’ve not only been able to handle the stress of motherhood and work, but I’ve been thriving at both while setting boundaries, making ample time for myself, and mentoring/supporting other women along the way.

Laura N

Life Coach

San Jose, CA

Marcela is not just a Spiritual Nutrition Counselor; she is a true healer. Her wisdom and culinary art have saved me more than once. Before the fast, I felt old and exhausted. Afterward, I felt rejuvenated, like I had aged backward ten years. Marcela taught me to make food preparation simple, fast, and joyful. Today, I sing and dance in the kitchen, truly enjoying a plant-based diet.

Ayn Cates Sullivan, Ph.D.

Award winning Author, Chief Editor, Mother of Two, Horse Whisperer

All the love you put into your words stays in my mind. I have removed McDonald's and all kinds of junk food from my diet. When I feel temptation calling my name, I can hear your words saving me.

Dr. Jorge Giuliboni

Attorney, Buenos Aires, Argentina

My holistic therapy with Marcela completely changed my life. Her approach helped me quit substance abuse cold turkey and guided me through the healing process. Marcela's daily support and vegan diet plan detoxified my body and brought me back to life.
