I LOVE coaching with Holly and look forward to it every week. I had been on my intuitive eating and body acceptance journey on my own for a year when I decided to work with her 1:1 & I can honestly say that I’m 10 sessions in and have had more breakthroughs with Hollys coaching than in the past year on my own!! Holly is so great about showing me my blind spots and doing so in such a compassionate way. Don’t think twice about working with her! She is the best of the best! |

Following 15 years of Bulimia and 5 years into my recovery, I still felt self conscious and had very low self esteem. While I had battled my food demons, I had not dealt with the underlying factors - feeling not good enough. I worked with Holly for a 12 week program on Body Love, and during this time I uncovered a lot of beliefs about myself and specifically my body, that I didn't know I had. With Holly's help, I was able to shift these beliefs and start to act in ways that made me feel confident and so energized. I found new ways to relate to my body that did not include telling it that it was horrible and before long I was able to look in the mirror and feel proud of the woman staring back at me. I had a lot of social anxiety due to self worth issues, which Holly helped me with. When I started to believe I was worthy, and embody my true self, all of a sudden it felt good to just be ME during social interactions. All of a sudden I could enjoy situations, work events, engage with new people, networking events and stand with my head up high. I started to really embrace the small quirks that once I had tried to push away. I began to dress more in alignment with my true self. I found myself embracing my true self and identity. Having this new found relationship to self led to more authentic relationships with my family and friends, to be a better mom, to go further in my new business. I was no longer afraid to show up on Facebook LIVE. I was no longer afraid to put myself out there. Holly helped knock down those beliefs that were causing tension and holding me back. Recently I moved to a new part of the country and I found myself repeating Holly's words as I met new people. I finally feel comfortable in my own skin, being 'just me'. I no longer feel like I need to hide behind a certain appearance or try to meet others expectations. I feel so much more free. After working with Holly in the Body Love program, I worked with her for business mentorship. She helped me greatly with helping others and I use many of the skills she taught me in my own health coaching practice. I feel powerful and I feel embodied daily. Thank you Holly! |

OMGosh, so grateful for my relationship with YOU and how YOU have impacted my growth as a woman, wife, mother, sister, daughter and as a human being!! The work you do IS completely transformative WHEN we are willing to DO THE WORK it takes to make it a reality within our own lives instead of sitting on the sidelines wishing we could "be like you!". . . .consider this my testimony for this work with YOU - I thank GOD for YOU every single day for teaching me "How to be FREE to be ME" and no longer live like a servant by "pleasing others and gaining their approval" in order for me to feel WORTHY as a human. |

Working with Holly has been eye opening on so many levels; body image, body respect and overall self worth. She is the 1st coach I have worked with and the experience has been beyond my expectations. I learned about her work through a wellness podcast and am so grateful to have freedom from Diet Culture. Freedom from Diet Culture has meant more time and space for me to focus on my career, relationships and interests. Her approach is very empathetic and empowering. My experience working with her has made me a better Therapist as I feel like I can show up for my client more. |

Before working with Holly I felt held back in most areas of my life. In just two months of working with Holly I have found a place of true alignment within myself and with Holly's guidance, I have broken free of the beliefs that have held me back the most. For the first time in a long time, or maybe ever, I feel safe in living my truth and comfortable in my skin in every sense of the term. |

I am so grateful that Holly came into my life when she did and that I took the initially scary step to invest in myself. I have learnt, grown and overcome so much in the last 10 months that it’s hard to put into words. Holly helped me overcome my restrictive eating patterns to find a love and freedom with food, rather than guilt and deprivation. She helped me understand where my beliefs about food and my body came from, allowing me to see these from a new perspective which meant I was able to see food with an abundance of choice rather than options that I’d once considered ‘good or bad’. In working with Holly, I have found an acceptance and love for my body as it is, where I was once critical, judgemental and wanting to change my body, I now feel so comfortable in my skin that it is no longer something I give energy to. Holly’s coaching has been about so much more that healing my relationship with food and my body, it has truly transferred into ever area of my life. Through creating a deeper understanding of myself and Holly’s support to let go of the beliefs that have held me back I have been able to find freedom in all areas of life. I can’t thank Holly enough for her patience, non-judgemental, calm and flexible coaching style which allowed me to open up and let myself be vulnerable in times of discomfort. I couldn’t recommend Holly highly enough as a coach and I will always be grateful for her coaching and friendship. Let’s just say I am different without trying to be different or necessarily knowing what’s changed… If you take the opportunity to work with Holly you will understand what I mean. |

During my 6 week Love Your Body coaching program with the fabulous Holly Toronto, I experienced dramatic mindset, mental and emotional shifts in addition to spiritual growth. Holly is a talented, compassionate and intuitive coach. Holly is extremely present during her coaching sessions and asks the right questions and offers informative insight. In 6 weeks Holly empowered me to create a new relationship with my body, food, appearance and self worth using coaching tools and exercises. I now feel present and alive in my day to day life with freedom from the overwhelming and all consuming thoughts about my weight, body, appearance and food. Holly helps women live their happiest, most present lives completely unapologetically in the beautiful bodies they were born with. It was an honor working with Holly, I highly recommend coaching with Holly for anyone struggling with body image, relationship with food and overall feelings of "not enough-ness" and the "I'll be happy whens". Thank you Holly! |

My work with Holly was focused on body image.
What I liked most about working with Holly was that she met me in every session exactly where I was. Yes our focus was on Body Image, but often our exploration led to deeper negative beliefs and fears that I had which affected the way I saw my body and the that way I nourished (or didn't nourish) it.
I recommend Holly as a Coach because she is REAL. She is laser focused on her clients and shares enough about herself to build confidence and trust in the belief that she has my best interests in mind. She is compassionate, and will also call your bluff. That's a perfect combination.

My group coaching session was just what I needed to reset my cyclical, negative thoughts about food choices and body image. Holly helped me to understand the underlying issues that were causing my negative habits and gave me simple steps to start reframing and rethinking my relationship to food and my body. She's a great listener, very understanding and present during all sessions, and she really makes you feel like you're on a journey together.

I can not stay enough about Holly and her coaching. She has been pivotal part of my transformational healing journey. She had her work cut out for her! I was struggling with health issues and was also starting out on a new path in life. She helped me lay the foundation to grow and heal on all levels. She created an environment with no judgement, only compassion and grace...and a nice dose of humor! She has empowered me to live bigger and better. For anyone looking to make a change in not only their health, but also their life, but you aren't quite sure where to start, I highly recommend you reach out to Holly.

I highly recommend Holly to everyone who is looking to make a change in their health and life journey. I learned so much in my 12 week sessions with her. She is wise beyond her years, compassionate and full of knowledge. She gave me a new way of thinking and moving forward with my life. I am forever thankful to her.

This spearheaded my journey with Holly at a very crucial time, as I was seeking change to create a more balanced life. Working with Holly allowed me to better understand my own body, my own mind and in a sense learn to love myself (haha yes cliché but true). What started as a path to be “healthier” became a path of internal exploration to a better “me”. One of the best things about working with Holly is that she truly understood me and geared our meetings based on my needs each week. She is much more than a coach, she supported and guided me in my own self-exploration to find balance and a better understanding of who I am. Nothing is a quick fix, but I have learned an immense amount about myself in the past 90 days and look forward to continued personal growth with the tools Holly has provided for me. She is just wonderful; inspiring, supportive and has truly opened my eyes to a whole new me.

How can I express my ardent wish that you allow Holly Toronto into your life's journey?
Every conversation began and ended with a sincere hug (through the phone line).
I am now cooking for everyone in my house, joyfully; where as before I didn’t even know the cost of the milk I drank.
Even though I have more responsibilities and things to consider, I found that I have more energy and time to think of the things that I have been avoiding. Seeing the benefits to my actions and decisions clearly, I am confident in the steps I am taking. When faced with a temptation I now reframe. When I reframe, I give myself space to make a decision rather than react. Health coach Holly helped me get to this place. She showed me my own latent strength.

As a full-time mom of a toddler & a baby, working part-time, managing the home & finances, volunteering, etc etc etc, self-care gets pushed to the back burner SO easily... I didn't forsee how refreshing & restorative it would be to talk with a health coach! Someone inquiring into MY needs, how I can lower my stress & change my coping mechanisms!??! Whattttt.. Um why did I not do this earlier? Holly was very easy to talk to. Her questions were great for self-reflection, and helped me understand myself more. And it's super practical -- we practiced a breathing exercise over the phone, which put me into total zen mode for the rest of the night. The things she brings up are somehow really basic & intuitive, and so are easy for me to remember when I encounter food / meal times. Very happy with the experience!

I enrolled in the Love Your Body 90 Day Program after I found out I was pregnant. I knew Holly could provide accountability for my personal journey to create a new mindset as I begin a new life stage. Holly lovingly encouraged and helped me process my various emotions. I never felt overwhelmed with the new information and exercises she provided. She taught me how to be more aware of myself: how to articulate my needs and victories, to love my new mama body, and most importantly, how to self-love in order to become a more powerful and loving mother-to-be!

I started working with Holly after realizing that although I had knowledge about nutrition and my body I was lacking in how they connected. My initial goal was to create awareness and balance around food and my body. There is no doubt in my mind that Holly helped me to achieve this goal and many others along the way. One of my favorite aspects of the weekly calls is that it gave me accountability for making sure that I was making myself a priority and as a mom with 2 kids this is not always easy. I was supported, encouraged, and pushed to see the positive mind body progress that I was making on a weekly basis. I looked forward to every call as I knew that it would build on the previous sessions. This was one particular aspect that I really enjoyed, Holly’s coaching continued to build, review, and add new information without making me feel overwhelmed. I found Holly very easy to talk to and understanding of the many different aspects of life even if she has not personally experienced them. In the end this experience changed the way that I talk and look at not just food but LIFE. It provided me with the education, confidence and practical techniques to incorporate a new norm around nutrition in my household!
