When Tina first invited me to participate in her Sugar Detox program, I kinda laughed to myself and said ya right! BUT...it's Tina, and I trust she would never steer me wrong...soooo how could I say no? This was a big sacrifice for me because I have a sweet tooth and really enjoy a couple of glasses of wine 3 or 4 days of week. Tina sent me a really awesome cookbook right before we started the program. I think one of the most valuable things about the program was everything I learned through the science based research articles she shared with us each week. These articles and weekly conversations of encouragement with Tina made me realize the impact sugar had on my body. I was really addicted to sugar and when I drank wine the impulse to eat more sugar was much stronger. I was always tired, sluggish, and had to make myself exercise daily. Today, I feel in control, healthier, have more energy...yes MORE energy, and I am thinking more clearly. Tina is so reassuring and has the ability to say just what you needed to hear at the right moments throughout the program. I would highly recommend the Sugar Detox program but would say don't just jump out and try it on your own. Having a Health and Wellness Coach, like Tina, made all the difference in my ability to stick with it. I can now have an occasional glass of wine and have found healthy substitutes that are very satisfying. Another thing I have learned through this program is to be kind to myself, forgiveness is empowering! Losing weight was never my motive but not carrying around 10 extra pounds has just been a bonus. THANK YOU TINA...you literally have changed my life!

When Tina asked me to be a part of the one month Sugar Detox Challenge I had no idea the impact it would have on me. The Sugar detox Challenge was a welcome hiatus from my normal eating patterns that I had come accustomed to over the years. Tina was enthusiastically committed to the cause and showed a genuine interest in my success. She skillfully guided me through the 31 day journey by providing regular daily motivation and information from helpful recipes to thoughtful techniques. Tina also utilized the groups shared experiences to leverage her impact through bi-weekly group Zoom meetings. This aspect of the detox for me was most critical. She assigned all of us accountability partners in the group and this helped keep me accountable through the challenge. In the end, I adopted new habits and learned helpful tools that I will take with me going forward. Tina's professionalism and commitment made all of this possible. I would strongly recommend the Sugar Detox Challenge for anyone looking to make a positive change in their life. You cannot LOSE!!!

I just wanted to let you know it's been great working with you on our Sugar Detox Challenge. Your knowledge, support and positive energy helped me get through the more difficult days. I loved that you gave me some wonderful recipes and alternatives that will continue to help me in the future. Thank you again, this challenge has been eye opening!

I recently participated in Tina's 31 day Sugar Detox Challenge with 10 participants which concluded at the end of October. Tina did an excellent job coordinating not only bi-weekly Zoom calls but also weekly e-mail suggestions and pep talks. She kept the group engaged, focused and energized on a weekly basis. Her commitment to the participants was enthusiastic and very professional at every level. Sugar continues to be a very addictive and dangerous staple of the American diet. Tina has successfully increased the awareness of this very serious issue. My personal goal is to continue to significantly reduce my sugar consumption going forward. I thank Tina for increasing my awareness of this very serious health issue and would recommend that everyone out there consider Tina's expertise as a Health and Wellness coach.

My top three goals upon staring the Sugar Detox Challenge with Tina were to reduce the cravings, get more information on sugar cravings and addiction, help my husband with sugar cravings and to learn from Tina's coaching method. Tina was able to help me work toward these goals by talking to me for 20 minutes every week on the phone, lots of love and support and group Zoom meetings. The biggest tangible change I have noticed since beginning the program has been that I stopped eating dark chocolate after dinner. I started reading labels more closely. I stopped buying food that has added sugar in it. I started drinking herbal tea. The most significant overall change I have noticed has been that I could see a big change in my husband! I have more awareness of what I eat. I realized it is not that hard to avoid sugar. I learned a lot about packaged food and added sugar. Tina is so amazing! She was so helpful, very organized and so supportive and loving!! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for better health and wellness, to people that have sugar blues, to people who want to lose weight and to people who want to be more positive in life. Tina, thank you so much for being so awesome! You are such a kind and loving person! I loved working with you! Thanks so much for the unconditional love and support. You are the best! I am so grateful to be a part of your Sugar Detox program!! It helped me so much! Thank you so much and love you!

I love working out, yet I started to become inconsistent with my exercising. Life got crazy, but I certainly know that when I get in a nonstop overly stressful mode, being inconsistent is not healthy at all. Tina who is so encouraging, warm and non-judgmental, listened to my concerns about how I was cutting down on my self-care. She came up with a few simple solutions to help me meet my goals. I still get the triggers that were making me freeze, but I work through them. It makes it easier because she didn't tell me what to do, she gave me suggestions and I knew I had a partner in helping me achieve my goals. She challenged me in such a productive way. Thank you Tina! I would recommend you to anyone!!
Juli P. Women's Stylist in New York September 2020
My top three goals upon starting my three month coaching program with Tina were to figure out what I would do with my clothing business and do some virtual selling, have an exercise plan in place (inclusive of meditation), take my SOUS SHELF invention to prototype, and change some of my bad eating habits. Tina was able to help me work toward these goals by encouraging me to reach further than I thought I could. I loved that she brought a meditation coach into one of our sessions to better help us learn meditation. Tina also had constant contact with me. The biggest tangible change I have noticed since beginning the program with Tina has been MY EATING!!!! Much healthier. Much more conscious about what I put in my mouth. I am sleeping better. I am drinking more water. I have made food substitutions that I surprisingly DON'T HATE! The most significant overall change I have noticed has been my overall happiness, wellbeing, and ability to find calm. I highly recommend Tina Duffy. She really listens. I have made a number of important changes in my life since my group coaching sessions with Tina. You become accountable to someone who really cares and is passionate about me living my best life.
Nicole C. (Health Coach client to launch her business April 2021) Tina is an incredible business/health coach. From the first time talking to her, I felt this immediate connection with her. The amount of genuine passion she has for what she does was one of the first things I noticed about her. She truly cares about her clients and wants to see them achieve all of their goals as a health coach.
As a successful health and past business owner herself, she knows exactly what to teach to inexperienced health coaches like myself.
Prior to working with Tina, I had never had a health coaching client. I was always too timid to actually follow through with setting up my business, while also struggling with a bit of imposter syndrome. At the time, I had deep rooted belief's that I was not good enough to be a health coach.
Sessions with Tina are what allowed me to break out of all of these limiting beliefs. She has such a gentle yet powerful way about her that really makes you rethink anything that is holding you back from being who you truly wish to be as a coach. She plays an incredible role as your guide on the side, teaching you the necessary ropes while allowing yourself to have your own realizations and break throughs.
Tina not only helped me with mental barriers but also the technical parts. She kept me accountable for making sure I was staying on top of my business goals like setting up my website, posting to my instagram and reaching out to potential clients.
At the end of our few months working together, I had achieved more than I had in the past year. I set up my website, defined my messaging and branding, gained about 700 followers on instagram, created a program outline, and even signed my first client. I can not say enough about how incredible Tina is. She would encourage me with the nicest texts and even sent me a few books in the mail.
If you have the chance to work with Tina, TAKE IT! She will completely change your life, your mindset, and your approach to health coaching in the most positive way possible.
Lauren S. A Lawyer in Nashville, TN. March 2021 Seven months ago, a friend referred me to Tina for group health coaching, and Tina has been so helpful with making positive lifestyle changes. Tina has helped me set diet and health goals and provided realistic strategies for meeting those goals in my daily life. Through her coaching, my eating habits have greatly improved, I have eliminated soda and sugary drinks from my diet, and I am handling stress better by employing techniques that I learned from Tina. I was also encouraged to try many new foods and recipes that I wouldn't have tried otherwise. She is so knowledgable, encouraging and eager to share her wisdom and passion with others. I would recommend Tina's health coaching services to anyone looking to improve their health and well-being!
Erin M. A mother and student Bellingham, WA. February 2021 I can't express how grateful I am to you Tina for all of your help! You're such an amazing woman.
Tina is an amazing coach! She taught me so much about how to care for my body as a whole , and maintain the changes I needed in order to live a healthier life. I learned how to heal my body through a wholesome diet by "crowing out" the harmful foods. Tina showed me how to be gentler to myself throughout the sugar-detox transition, and reminded me that every day is a new day! I can't thank her enough for being available when I needed support, while she talked me through the challenges I faced, and offered resources so I could educate myself as well. The skills I've learned will be with me for the rest of my life.
