Sadly, my partner contracted Covid in Jan 2020 and eventually lost his brave battle 2 weeks later, passing away on 5th Feb 2020.  Part of my journey since he passed away was trying to think of ways that could best honor him, and what better way to do that than to ensure that I lived a long and healthy life.  Because I was also grieving at the time, comfort eating was so easy to do.  I realized that I needed something more and joined Claudia as a private client.  I have for the first time truly understood the connection between the mind, body and soul.  I’ve become educated on nutrition and the effects certain foods etc. have on the body.  The daily motivations, check ins, and weekly Sunday evening meetings where we deal with different topics on a spiritual level have been so uplifting and motivates me to keep going.  This holistic lifestyle change is not only transforming my body, but my heart too…and has definitely helped me navigate the devastating loss of my beloved partner.  I’m learning that grief and love really do walk side by side.  I’m learning that I am strong and braver than I ever imagined.  I’m taking on this holistic lifestyle change, one day at a time and at my own pace.  I’m grateful to Claudia and Bridgette for their guidance and support.  I value my UBA family, and would encourage anyone who is struggling with weight loss or wanting to transform holistically to sign up for any of the programs they offer.  Joining the UBA program is an investment I’ve made into living my best life…the way God intended.
