MyBodyTutor just works. I have done A LOT of personal growth work - 3 day seminars, year long courses, coaching training, 10-day meditation retreats, CBT, EMDR, the list goes on and on and on. At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, working with Margeaux and MyBodyTutor was the most transformational experience of my life. How could that be? How could it be that with a lower out of pocket expense and a less aggressive approach I could have MORE change? It took some reflection but this is what I have realized - working with Margeaux and MyBodyTutor changed my identity and changing my identity made it easy and natural to change my actions, and as I those changes have rippled out to all areas of my life. Prior to MyBodyTutor, I spent years (really decades) looking for, investing and believing in silver bullets and quick fixes. I relied on will power and strengthened my ability to do short-term, intense and unsustainable challenges, mostly yielding short-term results that in hindsight perpetuated yoyo dieting, yoyo workouts, trying all the trends, hoping that I would "get there" and then could stop working so hard. This time was different - I didn't want a quick fix, I didn't want to lose 35lbs in 3 months, I didn't want to magically become a different person, and I wasn't doing it alone. I wanted to steadily improve. I wanted to make a change that would last a lifetime. I wanted to become someone who honored their body like a temple and prioritized their health. Margeaux helped me do just that. Our initial goals were simple - walk 5000 steps a day, track my food, sleep 7 hours a night and drink half my body weight in ounces of water a day. From there we worked up to consistent exercise, increased movement, lifting weights, and improving my diet. During our work together I lost 14 lbs that I have easily kept off for over 6 months, I stopped binge/emotional eating, I effortlessly stopped drinking - something that I had toyed with the idea of for about 10 years, but struggled to pull the trigger on. I found out that my body has a strong immune response to gluten and that it's bad for my long term health and immediately cut it out of my diet - with ease. I stopped snacking, which can be hard when you work from home, and started eating balanced mini-meals, and prioritizing protein as my goals shifted to building muscle. Most importantly, I stopped beating myself up and started being compassionate and loving toward myself. I have started doing the work to have the life I want. I am confident, resilient and hopeful in areas of my life that I was depressed and hopeless about because I now know what it looks and feels like to do the work, day in and day out. My identity has shifted to someone who prioritizes their goals and goes after what they want every day. All through my journey, Margeaux was there - reminding me of my goals, reflecting my progress back to me, cheering me on when I felt weak or needed to celebrate a win that I couldn't see, and guiding me toward the next step on my path to growth. MyBodyTutor was what I needed when I needed it and I will forever be grateful for the growth, love and guidance that was so generously poured into me.
