I’ve been blessed to support many smart, savvy men and women who are interested in learning to live healthier, holistic lives. Here’s what some of them have had to say about working with me.
Even though I floundered a bit during my coaching with Lori, I learned (perhaps on a subconscious level), that change really takes time. She taught me that the only true failure is not to try again. She had to assure me time and time again that my long learning curve was normal. She always offered encouragement but at the same time provided the structure that I needed to accomplish weight loss. Lori offered a detached but compassionate view into my life. She tactfully pointed out things that were disabling my weight loss – and coached me to find solutions to these issues. As a result of our coaching, I am now, finally, losing weight and preparing for a healthy next ‘1/3’ of my life. I am very grateful to Lori.

Before I hired Lori, I struggled alone. Through our work together, I have learned to trust my own abilities and more effectively use my strengths. As a result, my life today is more satisfying and I know myself to be someone who is strong, resourceful, and intuitive.

Wellness Educator and Licensed Wellcoach
One of the most valuable “gems” I received from Lori was a thorough explanation of the stages of change that everyone goes through and what made change so challenging for me. I was stuck and not sure about making change; Lori helped me realize that until I was willing to make a commitment both mentally and emotionally, I would only continue to feel frustrated and berate myself. I highly recommend Dr. Lori Gray Boothroyd as a coach!

I engaged Lori’s services to help me get back on track with wellness practices that I had let fall by the wayside with all my work obligations, especially exercise. I was immediately at ease with Lori’s style – she helped me take my time and was thorough in getting to know both me as well as my needs, without making me feel like I was “put on the spot”. The work we did together always felt collaborative to me – from setting goals to measuring my weekly progress. I found her to be intuitive to my mood, whatever that may be and to be equally inspiring in encouraging me back on track or celebrating with me. One of the things I appreciated most about Lori was that I felt a strong sense of trustworthiness from her. She shared expertise when needed and I always knew she would follow through on anything she promised. I found my follow-through with my goals dramatically improving as a result of her coaching. I would highly recommend Lori to anyone in need of coaching help.

Before I met Lori I knew what to do to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but had no strategy to deal with the triggers that caused me to overeat. My physician recommended I seek a coach to help game plan my reactions to situations in advance of being placed in those situations and to help me review what went right and how to correct the things that went wrong. I chose Lori as a coach after interviewing five coach candidates. I believed her attention to the mental aspects of weight gain would best allow me to succeed. In the past I had focused purely on the physical habits of diet and exercise. Lori’s background in psychology brings an added dimension missing in most weight loss plans. She also has a comforting manner I believed would help me deal with the missteps I take in my life and get me back on track.
Now after working with Lori I am on my way toward my goal of losing the weight I have gained over the last 15 years. I am doing this without a fad diet, and in a manner that will allow me to maintain my weight throughout my life. Through my coaching sessions with Lori I have learned how to plan my weeks so that I react mindfully to the situations I find myself in every day. I make better decisions about when to eat, how much to eat, and how to still enjoy the foods I love.

Dr. Lori Boothroyd coaches in a warm, dedicated manner that makes the process of positive behavior change a series of highly productive, enjoyable events. Lori taught me how to expand my mental capacity to visualize and implement positive outcomes in the areas of stress management, nutrition, inter-personal relationships and business growth. Thanks to Lori, I have learned to “live in the moment” and I am currently enjoying life to its fullest.
