Want to know what it’s like to work with me?
Here are some of the things my clients are saying…
“I’m much healthier, happier, and I feel that the future is exciting and open to everything.” – Jill P.
“…Debbie’s compassionate encouragement to take a real look at myself and to make achievable changes along the way has enabled me to believe in myself… This is something that I didn’t think was possible to do without dieting restrictions, calorie counting and major exercising… I’m much healthier, happier and I feel that the future is exciting and open to everything. A big plus is I’ve learned that when things are harder or you make mistakes, (life gets that way) you can stay centered and keep moving forward on your healthy journey. This has helped me in both my personal and work life. Everything in small achievable steps. You have it in you to be strong and resilient. You are worth it – invest in yourself… Thank you, Debbie. I am very thankful that you came into my life.”
“The support I got was amazing” – Charla M.
“..Debbie has taught me to regain confidence in myself, to push me to do things I never thought I could. Not only have I regained a stronger body, I have also gained a stronger mental self. I truly wondered if when I started out that I would make my goal, I can honestly say that not only will I achieve it, I will surpass it with Debbie’s help.”
“I can now say that I’ve found my own voice” – Louise P.
“…A few months ago, as I was feeling drained, never finding the time to walk, exercise, meditate, I went back again to Debbie… thinking that I needed a walking program and exercises fit for me. Over a period of 3 months, Debbie the life coach (forget fitness) made me realize that I needed to go to the bottom of it and find out why I was so drained all the time, why I never had time for myself… She accompanied me in finding what was really good for me. She also made me realize how sometimes we are set in our old ways, thinking that it cannot be changed. Not true! Thanks to her accompaniment (she is always there if you need her and she checks on you regularly), and of course my own commitment, I can say now that I have found my own voice, I have also changed some habits and it works.”
“I have acknowledged my own power” – Susan D.
“Thank you SO much for being with me on my better health journey. I have lost weight and exceeded my goal and maintaining it. I have improved my diet and raised my kidney function. I have reconsidered what I eat and now creating more plant based options for myself. I have acknowledged my own power in living life on my own terms with a wide variety of experiences and learning. Thank you, Coach Debbie, for supporting me.”
“Extremely encouraging” – Michelle M.
“Debbie is extremely encouraging and professional and from the start asked me what I liked to do and what I didn’t like to do so that my training plan is not something I don’t enjoy. For example I don’t like big weights so there are none! What I am also excited about is that I have learned a lot of great exercises that I can do without leaving the house.”
“…One of the best decisions I made was to start taking yoga with Debbie years ago.” – Susan M. (yoga)
I have been taking yoga classes with Debbie for several years. They are an important part of my week and my training. I run and these classes have helped me stay fit, flexible and strong, as I age. Debbie is a wonderful teacher. Her classes are calm and peaceful. This is the way she teaches and reaches out to everyone, regardless of your fitness level. Always feel better after I finish one. Her classes are online. If you miss one, you can retake it as she has a yoga vault where past classes are available. It has been one of the best decisions I made to start taking yoga with Debbie years ago. Plan on continuing as long as my body permits it. Thank you Debbie.
“I’m a much more fit, grateful, positive, and happy person” – Tania A.
“…I know what needed to be done and I honestly thought I had made some efforts by moving more and making better food choices. I still had this feeling, however, that it would just be too hard; unattainable, in a sense. I basically have been sabotaging myself with these negative thoughts… After [working with Debbie], I’ve noticed a change in my outlook and in turn, a change in my determination. I am physically fitter, I feel stronger in mind, body, and spirit. I haven’t achieved all of my goals yet, but I’m on my way and closer than ever before… Thanks to Debbie, I am a much more fit, grateful, positive, and happy person.”
“I feel less anxious, have a better body image, and am more accepting of challenges that come my way” – Caroline B. (yoga)
I have been taking yoga classes with Debbie for many years. I really enjoy the way Debbie teaches the class and poses. Her voice is calm and encouraging, giving clear instructions on how to do a pose correctly, by respecting your body and its limitations. The classes are online and you receive a password to access all of her yoga recordings. So, you are able to do yoga, any time and any day! I finish each class being calmer with zero pain. Through the years, by doing yoga I am not more flexible but have no joint pain. I feel less anxious, have a better body image, and more accepting of challenges that come my way.
“It’s not only about weight” – Kristine B.
“I felt lost; I had tried so many different weight loss programs and I went to numerous gyms. It had become a vicious cycle. I would sign up feeling eager and within no time, I would lose my motivation to pursue my weight loss goals. I just couldn’t stick with anything and I was tired of feeling like a failure…
It wasn’t until I met Debbie that things started to fall into place… Not only did Debbie help me lose the weight I wanted to, but she has helped me understand that my struggle is not only about weight. It’s about my mind and my soul as well. If everything is not working together in harmony, it makes it incredibly difficult to achieve whatever your goal may be.”
“I increased my flexibility, strength and general health” – Maria D. (yoga)
I began following the Yoga classes on line because of encouragement from my three daughters and my son. I was happy to discover that as I continued to participate, I increased my flexibility, strength and general health. I learned that caring for my physical strength, flexibility and mobility gave me more energy and joy. Debbie encourages the participants, suggests optional movements depending on individual level, and is never judgemental. I like the option and flexibility of following each session at my own pace and convenience. Also, I like redoing a session that I feel needs personal improvement. Thank you Debbie for this great gift.
“She taught me to learn to love myself… and that “I have the power.”” – Toby M.
“My coaching experience with Debbie was by far one of the best experiences of my life! I knew from our very first session that we had an amazing connection and that I was going to learn so much from her! The wisdom she shared, the feedback she gave me, the guidance she provided…seriously I could go on for days! I could not keep up with taking notes of the things she said that impacted me. She taught me to learn to love myself, how to tame my inner voice and most importantly, the realization that “I have the power”. Thanks so much Debbie for helping me change my life. You will forever be a very important part of my journey!”
“I have felt so good about myself” – Audrey D.
“I realized a few weeks ago that I not only felt well with taking care of myself, but also beautiful and strong. Truly! That was important while experiencing a rough patch in a relationship. I have felt so good about myself (even with getting off track this past week) and it motivated me to eat mindfully this weekend. Many thanks!”
“Thanks for everything, Debbie!” – Caroline L. (boot camp)
“…Very happy to be doing the bootcamp classes with you. Sometimes I still can’t believe that I run. So proud of that. Thanks to you. You made that possible for me…”
“A great help and advisor” – Brenda B. (yoga)
“…I have been doing your spring fitness challenge since you initiated it this year and to date I have lost 7 pounds… I have some way to go to meet my goal, but I wanted to let you know that you are a great help and advisor to me.”
“Thank you Debbie!” – Colleen S.
“Thank you Debbie ! You are an amazing life coach.”
“The first promise I’ve kept to myself in more than 10 years” – Cindy B.
“My life was dictated by numbers – the number on the scale, the size of my pants, the number of carbs I ate on a particular day… This became much more of an emotional process that a physical one. I needed to free up everything I’d been pushing down with food and self-loathing for 3 decades… I went from making a crazy promise at the start of my year with Debbie to walking into a CrossFit class – the first promise I’ve kept to myself in more than 10 years. This answer is simple: trust in Debbie… Trust in yourself. You CAN do this. You DESERVE a balanced, healthy life.”
“Feeling better about me” – Patty G.
“When I first met with Debbie I was lacking motivation and felt ‘stuck’. Through my coaching sessions with Debbie we were able to come up with some great strategies to get me moving forward again and continue along the way… Having Debbie coaching me also held me accountable to what we discussed and what I would do to become unstuck. My time with Debbie was very inspiring. I am now back on track and feeling much better about me.”
“You got me to think about what I want” – Nancy Y.
“…You were amazing at getting me to think about what I need and want right now. You asked all the best questions… Thanks so much.”
“Debbie is that life coach!” – Caroline F.
“Being a life coach requires a unique skill set to help another person achieve their goal or a goal they didn’t know they wanted to reach. Debbie Harbec is that Life Coach! I encourage you to connect with her and see where her coaching can take you!”
