Valerie Benton Coaching

I am thrilled to recommend Valerie Benton as an outstanding weight loss coach! After not being able to lose more than 4-5 pounds and then immediately gain them back over the past few years, I'd begun to give up and my health was steadily going down hill. Meeting Valerie was like having a life line thrown to me when I was going under for the third time, and with her help, I'm down 25 lbs and continuing toward goal with every confidence that I'll get there.

Looking better and shopping for smaller clothes is fun and rewarding, but better yet is seeing my latest lab results and the amazing, unseen changes happening inside my body! My cholesterol is down to normal, triglycerides at the low end of normal and I'm no longer pre-diabetic! Working with Valerie is not about going on a diet and being deprived. It's not about a strenuous exercise program.

Valerie's super power is in helping you tune in to your thoughts, feelings and emotions and learn to listen to your body for what it needs. She is compassionate and insightful, and helps to pin point with laser focus the real issues that are keeping weight on, while giving you tools to use for a lifetime to take it off and keep it off. I'm so grateful to have had the life-changing opportunity to work with her!

I have been working with Val for almost a year now and besides losing the weight I set out to lose, I have learned strategies for weight loss to keep it off. I work in a very high stress environment so my 'normal' coping mechanism when it got too stressful was to suppress the feeling by what I call 'stress eating'. for me that meant sweets and chocolate. Now, after working with Val, I can recognize triggers and make a better choice than reaching for food.

Val is a very kind and patient coach who really cares about her clients. She is an excellent listener. She asks thought-provoking questions that uncover other issues that were also causing the 'stress-eating' which I had know idea were even related.

I highly recommend Val as a coach.

Val has helped me learn to process the daily “wrenches” that have in the past, triggered me to gain weight. I have lost 8 pounds and continue to drop consistently. Recognizing signs and emotions, assessing them differently and changing my thoughts to deal with them differently (in a more positive frame of mind) has been the key to unlock the extra emotional baggage and weight that have been weighing me “up” and “down” for YEARS. Val has also worked to help me to be more in tune with my body, to understand when my body is satisfied, to understand that I can enjoy food without overeating. I would highly recommend any professional woman under the multiple pressures of a career, a marriage or relationship and raising children to take advantage of the life skills Val can help you implement in your life! For me, it has been IDENTIFY, PROCESS, ACT INSTEAD OF REACT and SEE RESULTS! She can help you do this yourself too! Thanks for all your help Val! You are the best!
