“Robyn helped me have the body that best supports me, without feeling restricted and instead feeling empowered and free. By connecting with and owning my own beautiful vision for my life, and then bringing that with me to every choice I make, it becomes natural and easy to make healthy choices that nourish me, and to do so with joy.”

“Robyn deflated all of the arguments, resistance and emotional issues about ‘healthy eating’ that kept me from fully committing myself to it. Nothing—even after 14 years of being a fitness instructor myself—reached me like the clarity, authenticity, and completeness of this approach. Before, food issues took up a lot of space and energy, and I got no results. Robyn totally reversed that: food is not a concern, and I have a whole lot of results. Losing 14 pounds of fat in the last two years is almost irrelevant compared to the emotional freedom and practical ease of fueling my body.”

"These are basic distinctions that are common sense, but somehow we never got them. If someone had told me this stuff when I was 10, in the way you did, it would’ve saved me a lot of trouble. If you could guarantee this kind of delivery in schools, it’s exactly what’s needed.”

Irvine, CA

“Am I getting leaner? Yes. Do I feel better? You bet. But this is the best part: an old friend called me a few weeks after the course. We’ve always had this running dialogue about our bodies. He asked, ‘How’s that 15 pounds?’ And I said ‘what 15 pounds?’ He said, ‘You know, your 15 pounds you always struggle with.’ I didn’t know what he was talking about for a minute. I started laughing. I realized what this really is about.”

"This course changed my energy and my life. I didn’t really know what eating well meant. I was starving myself and had no idea. I no longer assume that as I get older, I must get fatter. I realize that I love my body and I love to take care of it. Also, eating before running altered my training—I couldn’t believe the difference."

Physical Therapist, CA

"You have an extraordinary ability to illustrate complex concepts without being either condescending or confusing. Above all, what you delivered was freedom and choice; I could feel myself relaxing about the whole thing. I’ve never seen nutrition presented in such an original way. It’s the right combination of everything. I’m fueling my body!”

“I never knew I could view my body and health this way, as something to be nurtured and taken care of. I’ve been cooking great meals. My wife and I have also begun walking regularly.”

“Fueling my body has freed me from the battle of the scale. I am eating more today than I ever have before,and the result is that I feel great and have all the energy I need.”

Former Vice President, Aetna Health Plans

“People don’t recognize me on the street. My body fat has dropped many percentage points. I’m wide awake at 6:30 a.m. I don’t think about eating anything junky any more. I’ve gotten to where it’s kind of taken over, you know what I mean? It’s part of me. And I love it.”

Seattle, WA

“A small investment that will make a huge difference for the rest of my life. I saw that a shift in my eating could be easy, and now it’s becoming fun. I can tell I’m losing fat, and that’s not even what I intended. I used to always be hungry, and I’m not any more. It’s the best.”

Sequim, WA

“It’s great to be listening to my body. I absolutely won’t go three hours without eating any more. I actually got off the freeway halfway to a meeting and bought food because it was time for my snack. I keep food by the bed so I’ll eat before I run in the morning. So I don’t have those big dips anymore where I feel absolutely awful. And even though I came to the course resistant to giving up sugar, I’ve stopped eating refined sugar. I was seriously addicted to sugar, so breaking that is a real accomplishment. When I do eat something rich, I choose it and I enjoy it. There’s a lot of new food in the house. It’s pretty much a part of the way we eat now. You should teach this to athletes—I never learned all this stuff. It used to be pretty hit or miss.”

“It’s taken all the pieces that were floating out there and put them together. I’m an educated person, I have all kind of degrees—but I had no idea how my body works. I’d go to step aerobics without eating and think I was tired and nauseous from the heat."

Alexandria, VA

“Years and years have passed since I read your books. Over all that time, I’ve bought them and re-bought them and kept giving my copies away to friends more times than I can count. Nearly two decades have passed, and nutritional philosophies have changed so many times, but I always keep coming back to your wisdom all these years later. There’s never been a message quite like yours... It’s clear that you walk the walk, and that you come from a place of true contentment and peace. You’ve never pushed strict rules to follow or guidelines to adhere to. There were no expectations of perfection. While all the information out there really revolves around the 'shoulds' and 'shouldn’ts'… yours is a message that is so much bigger than that: about fueling our precious bodies with delicious, real food. With love and care. Living our lives in alignment with what makes us feel our best, inside and out. What a gift.."

“Before I enrolled in Nourish U I had been eating poorly and had been sedentary for
over a year, due to an injury. Now I'm moving every day and eating the healthiest meals since I left my mother's home (a long time ago!).

Robyn really knows her stuff. She literally wrote the book on Herbal Defense and she’s just as knowledgeable in all the other areas of nourishment she teaches. I love that she brings up-to- date research to her training, but breaks it all down so that it’s easy to understand and absorb. She gives the least amount of information needed to get the most in results, and that’s exactly what I want in a course and a teacher.

I continue to reap the rewards of her course even after it’s over, and I know I’ll continue to draw upon it for information and inspiration. I highly recommend Robyn and her coaching to anyone who is ready to nourishthemselves in a way that is more healthy, effortless, and joyful."

Colorado

"Robyn is a dedicated, knowledgeable practitioner of health and well-being who enthusiastically helps others on their journey towards well-being. Not only is she technically knowledgeable, she has also deeply thought through the issues and blocks that individuals have about their long-term self-care. As a result, she is able to help people get past those blocks with a range of strategies which gently but clearly lead towards a change in attitude and behaviour — and consequently, a change in well-being. 

She helped me see some of the un-useful beliefs that I had about nutrition and helped me to re-align my goals in order to make them more likely for me to achieve. Since working with her my eating has improved, my exercise has increased and my waistline has diminished!"

"As a naturopathic doctor I was coming up against a wall when it came to making diet/exercise suggestions for my patients because I myself struggled with these things. The typical medical approach is to make diet and exercise seem like something you HAVE to do, totally lacking in passion or connection to the importance of taking care of oneself.

After reading up about Robyn and her philosophies on her website it all came together: without having a strong sense of WHY you are nourishing your body, there will never be a lasting desire to maintain or even begin these healthy behaviors.Her approach really digs in to who you are, what makes you tick, where your hang-ups are, and then provides sensible and easily digestible (no pun intended!) solutions to help you not just reach your goals but then maintain them.

The online Facebook group is a huge bonus, as Robyn is always happy to answer questions or offer encouragement in between sessions. It’s basically non-stop coaching. I can’t recommend Robyn highly enough, and am so happy to have completed this course in order to better nourish myself and my patient population!"

Arizona

“Robyn is an excellent teacher, supporter and coach on the path to radical self-care. She has a refreshingly wholistic approach to well-being that is supported by her depth of knowledge and experience in a wide range of fields. She is accessible, clear, and motivating in all aspects of living a joyously healthy life. And she is a delight to work with! Her support and concern is sincere – a wonderful improvement over the hundreds of ‘health care gurus’ that have popped up in our culture, who profit from the fear and failure of others. Robyn offers suggestions that are flexible and achievable, tailorable to each individual. And in a culture obsessed with isolated (and often meaningless) indicators like weight and 'bar bell strength' her focus is correctly placed on overall well-being.

I now think of my self as a ‘health athlete.' I think in terms of supporting myself, not ‘doing what I should.' I have become aware of my choices, and I am excited to make healthy choices, and I enjoy movement and exercise in a renewed way. I am grateful for all of those changes!"

Washington

“Robyn’s group coaching-training is a fantastic course that I would happily recommend to anyone who wants to really get motivated to nourish themselves properly AND to get a truly holistic take on how to go about doing that. Robyn is a great teacher and a naturally enthusiastic communicator with a deep knowledge of all branches of her subject. I wanted more energy, more motivation and more awareness—and I got them.”
