I teach 8th grade math. I had set a goal for myself in 2017 that I was going to lose 100lbs in 2018. I was at a large point in my life and I wanted a change. I started my journey at 299.8lbs. 100lbs was a huge goal to set for a whole year and I knew I would need to make smaller goals to reach throughout the year. I set my mid-year goal of 50lbs by July 1st. The best feeling I had during my journey was the initial 10lbs loss. You feel great, clothes begin to feel looser and that gave me more of a drive to keep going.
I also stopped weighing myself every day because I found that each day you might weigh more or less and it would be discouraging but going with a consistent weekly weigh-in (Friday morning) was better for my mental health. With a consistent gym routine in place and nutrition on point, I was able to lose 40lbs by July 1st . After than I ended up going into maintenance mode and hovered around that point for the duration of the year. In total by the end of the year, I had lost 58lbs of my initial goal of 100lbs. While I was a little disappointed that I did not reach my 100lb goal, I realize that with my workout plan and muscle mass increased I have gained muscle and cut back on my body fat percent. I ended my 2018 at 241.8lbs.

As a college athlete I ate mostly Whole Foods but I didn’t have to be super conscious on portions/macros because my body needed to be refueled all the time.
Out of college I still had the same eating habits and I began to see my body change and I wasn’t comfortable with it.
I reached out to Liv for help on how to lose a couple pounds but more importantly learn how to have a healthier balanced diet regarding portions and macros, that fit my lifestyle and current workouts.
What I loved most about working with Liv was that she was very intentional about building a relationship with me on how the changes we were making made me feel emotionally and physically. When I had a hard time staying within my macros, she gave me suggestions on foods and different ways to reach certain macros or stay under. Liv also was very realistic about it becoming a lifestyle not a diet and to not deprive myself of the things I did crave.
Overall working with Liv taught me how to be more conscious and what portions, and macros I now needed to fuel my body and reach my goals. The life changing takeaway I am grateful for is learning to work towards balanced and not depriving myself of the yummy foods, and treats that I love!

I worked with Liv for 3 months. I needed assistance with getting a healthy mindset with food and fitting it within my lifestyle. I needed direction!
Liv really cares for her clients, and definitely assessed each one individually, rather than a whole. I’ve learned to relax with foods that I crave, and to make changes slowly to achieve the goal that was intended.
Getting to connect with others in the Healthy & Beyond program working with Liv and getting to hear about everyone’s achievements was great because it helped motivate me.
Other nutrition programs were structured to general numbers. Where Liv listens to your needs and breaks down how to achieve them. She really tries to understand and individualize the programs.
I felt the support I got from Liv was exceptional! I would definitely recommend this program to anyone considering hiring a coach.
Google reviews from clients:
Abby Carter: “Liv is the best! She is knowledgeable & compassionate when helping you reach your goals. Liv has helped me manage my PCOS symptoms, & helped regulate my cycle without the use of hormonal birth control. She has also helped manage & significantly reduce my IBS symptoms. Working with Liv, I have also learned to fuel my body properly for activity & exercise, & learned what a healthy relationship with food can be! Would definitely recommend her for any & all nutritional, health, & performance related goals!”
Mel Sharp: “I have been working with Olivia for about a year. She has been such a wonderful nutrient coach. She has changed my relationship with food, helped me understand my hormones and educated me on how all macros are important. Having a healthy body composition has been a goal for me postpartum with my kiddos. And she has helped me achieve this and more. Don’t wait take the jump now with Olivia!”
Angela Oliver: “Liv has changed my life! At 40, I started to gain back all of the weight I had lost in the years prior. I felt awful. I had no energy. I hit rock bottom when I gained 8 pounds in a weekend. My doctor said it was just the phase of life I was going to go through as I was getting older and my hormones were changing. I started to look through my insurance to see if I could find a nutritionist but immediately realized that there was no way I would be able to fit that into my schedule as a mom of two active boys, a full time elementary PE teacher, and an athletic trainer. I took to Facebook and immediately stumbled upon Liv’s business page. Her philosophy about aging and hormones was my story exactly and I knew that I had found my solution! I started with Liv in the winter of 2024 and have gotten my life back. I no longer have a horrible relationship with food. I no longer struggle with inflammation. I no longer have the food noise. I am fit and lean and most importantly know how to fuel my body. I have lost 47 pounds, but more importantly I have my life back and feel better at 43 than I have in years. Liv not only helped me lose the weight, she helped me to learn how to fuel my body so that I can take control and be in charge of my eating. Without a doubt, this was the best investment I have made for my health.”
Rachel Irey: “I've been working with Coach Liv for just over two months now, and I can't express enough how transformative this journey has been. When I started, I was struggling not just with the physical aspects of eating right and working out, but also with deep mental and emotional barriers that made me feel like I was failing and constantly starting over.
Liv's guidance has been nothing short of incredible. She has provided me with the tools and encouragement to heal those mental blocks and to fuel my body in a way that feels empowering. She has helped me shift my mindset, not just to prepare for my upcoming wedding, but to embrace a fit and healthy lifestyle every single day.
The kindness, patience, unwavering support, and vast knowlege Liv offers make her truly exceptional. I feel stronger and more confident, and for the first time in a LONG time, I’m excited about showing up as the best version of myself. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands how to guide you through both the emotional and physical aspects of this journey, I can’t recommend Coach Liv enough!”
Shelbi Brueckner: “I’ve been working with Liv for a year and a half, and her approach to nutrition and wellness has been truly life-changing. Unlike many nutritionists who offer quick fixes or temporary solutions, Liv focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health challenges. She has helped me lose 37 pounds while improving my overall well-being, guiding me through sustainable nutrition strategies rather than restrictive dieting.
Her personalized approach has been invaluable—she takes the time to understand my body’s unique needs, helping me navigate calorie deficits, maintenance periods, and even liver and kidney flushes to support my long-term health. Even when progress slowed, she worked with me to troubleshoot underlying factors instead of resorting to unsustainable methods.
If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about long-term health and not just short-term results, I highly recommend Liv! She empowers you with the knowledge and tools to make lasting changes.”
Jenny Blom: “I’m working with Olivia for personal training and nutritional coaching. She has helped me make changes to my diet without feeling deprived. She is supportive and communicative. I would highly recommend Olivia!”
Briana Breit: “Huge thanks to Olivia for completely transforming my outlook on nutrition!
Facing yourself and the lifestyle choices you make is no easy task—it’s often incredibly difficult, especially without clear guidance or when your efforts don’t seem to pay off. There will be moments when you feel like giving up, but patience is key.
For a long time, I struggled to achieve the results I wanted. Diet pills and skinny shots seemed like the only way, but they weren’t a sustainable solution. Olivia's natural approach is slower, but it’s REAL progress that STICKS.
Each day brings its own challenges in making better decisions, but her method is worth the effort!
Hiring Olivia was the game-changer I needed. She’s taught me how to adjust not just my diet, but also my timing and vitamin intake. Her guidance has already made a huge difference in how I feel. Trust me, she's worth every penny. If you're considering it—go for it!
Just remember, to get the results, you need to truly commit. Don’t cheat yourself; the payoff is worth the dedication.”
Adria Peaden: “I'm a busy mom and wanted some guidance on how nutrition effects my health headed into my mid 40s. I've always been active but lately it's not been helping. Olivia is so helpfully with advice on pairing food with hormonal issues and overall energy levels. I am not always perfect with my eating and she never makes me feel inadequate. I've learned so much about delicious snaking and how to prep meals for my big family to help all of us feel better. I could recommend her enough.”
Kayla Hegger: “I have been working with Coach Liv since June 2023 with a little bit of a break in between. She has so much knowledge and is always looking to learn more to better serve her clients. She is the most caring coach I have ever worked with and she’s so real with her own struggles too. Coach Liv will give you the tools and it’s up to you to listen to her and do the work.”
Katherine Rhodin: “Liv is a pleasure to work with. She's so knowledgeable and helped me transition my body off of hormonal birth control the easiest way possible by fueling my body with what it needed. When I got bloodwork done, she was more helpful in understanding the numbers and recommended ways to help level out my numbers, which my PCP did not do. Highly recommend working with Liv!”
Oriana Barros: “I worked with Liv for over a year and a half, and I can say through all my years and years of trying to wrap my head around nutrition and fitness, I’ve never had a coach be more supportive, knowledgeable, accommodating but accountable, and just an incredibly sweet, genuinely caring person. I came to her with a long history of disordered eating, binge and restrict cycles, and years of diet culture polluting my brain, and Liv helped me prioritize maintaining my relationship with food over anything else, especially through fat loss phases. With her help and guidance, I learned how to better balance my plate, how to focus on mind-muscle connection at the gym, and to celebrate wins OTHER than the direction of the scale! I’m so grateful for my time coaching with Liv!”
Jacob Bright: “Love! Liv is 1 in a million! I highly recommend!”
Andrea Cardona: “Working with Liv is very worth it! I learned in my early 30s that I had PCOS and Liv helped me navigate all of it - adjusting workouts and nutrition! She’s taught me to rethink my health and has been able to keep me aligned with my goals - learning how to make fitness a part of my lifestyle. She’s an amazing coach!!”
Jordan Wilder: “I have worked with Olivia for the past 5 months, and she is AMAZING at what she does. I came to Liv not knowing where to begin with my diet/lifestyle and being an avid yoyo dieter all of my life. Liv took me under her wing and we began working on the fundamentals of living a healthy lifestyle. She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, respectful, responsive, and all around just an incredible person to work with and I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
Cindy Herman: “Liv is awesome! She is knowledgeable, compassionate and non-judgmental. I have such a better understanding of meal prepping and making things work for me as an individual. She has guided me and helped me to understand how to feul my body properly whether working out or spending time with family and friends. I always told her that she was my biggest cheerleader and I still feel that way when I send her a message to share an accomplishment no matter how big or small. Thanks Liv for all your guidance and support! You are awesome with what you do and you are appreciated!”
Sarah Guidizi: “Coach Liv is an amazing human and I honestly don’t have enough words to fully describe how much she has helped me. I started working with her when I was over the constant yo-yo dieting. I tried different types of gyms and fitness classes but never really felt confident or motivated enough to keep at it. She helped me realize that I was over training and UNDER eating. That’s right, she told me to eat MORE! She got me to a place where it was easy to stay consistent and she helped give me the knowledge of nutrition as fuel. She helped me navigate difficult situations and suggested some great supplements. I’ve never felt better!! I feel strong and confident and it’s all thanks to Coach Liv!!”
Ashtan Hibar: “I started working with coach Liv because everything I tried on my own just wasn't working. I tried so many different things from fad diets to excessive cardio and just couldn't figure it out on my own. Being a previous college athlete I thought I knew what to do but I also didn't have a coach telling me what to do anymore so when things weren't working I just got in a slump.
Coach Liv helped me out of that through not only teaching me that heavy lifting is not my enemy but also actually teaching and making sure I understood macros, what my body needed AND how to efficiently track my biofeedback in order to continue to have progress and also know when I/my body needs to rest! Just from looking at my pictures you can tell how much of a confidence shift I had and I couldn't be more grateful!
The amount of support, advice and teaching I received was more than I could have ever expected and I would recommend her to anyone!”

I had been following Liv on Instagram because I met her in college. In the Spring, I was experiencing some depression over the surprising number I saw on the scale. I had finally found a workout program that I enjoyed, but could not get my nutrition on point. Liv's posts on Instagram were filled with helpful information & were very engaging.
I was attracted to the grace she gave herself & her followers. I could tell she was very knowledgeable & had put a ton of time and dedication into educating herself, so I decided to reach out.
I worked with her for 6 months.
I learned SO much! Here are some of the most important: 1- Freedom. I can enjoy a weekend away without regret & shame. I have been taught tools (portion control, only eating when I'm actually hungry) that help me go away for a weekend, TRULY enjoy myself & my food, and come home with no weight gain. That's not always the case, but regardless, there is freedom and grace. 2 - Nutrition is VERY personal. I will neverrrrrrrr fall for a 'one size fits all' diet again. I will also neverrrrrr encourage others to do this. Every body is different. 3 - This is as much a mental & spiritual journey as it is physical/nutritional. When I started, I had no idea. My weight loss depends on so much more than just what food I take in - my sleep, stress levels, routines, etc. all matter! Liv has been helpful in every single aspect. She encourages health for the whole-being.
My favorite part of her program was the encouragement. I can tell Liv is very passionate about what she does & LOVES supporting me in my journey. She puts so much time into reaching out via email, text, social media, just to be sure her clients feel supported. I NEVER felt like I was in this alone. She cheered me on the entire way. Liv became my #1 cheerleader & was always ready to answer my questions and give advice.
The H&BN program was different from other nutrition programs that I've tried. Others were not personalized, not maintainable, and did not include the relationship/community aspect. Liv was able to personalize a program for me that was different from anyone else. She took into account every aspect of my life that I was willing to share (biofeedback), as this program is way more than just about what I eat. I also feel incredibly confident that I can maintain my weight and/or weight loss when I end this program. I feel so well equipped. Liv & her community were a great asset to her program, that you can't get anywhere else.

I started working with Liv because I was stuck. I couldn't lose weight doing the same things I've done in the past. Going to the gym 7 days a week and doing a bunch of cardio wasn't working so I thought I'd give Liv a try.
I worked with her for 7 months.
I've learned that losing weight is so much more than just cutting calories and hitting the gym. I've learned that I wasn't eating enough protein and I didn't have to shame myself for eating carbs and fats. I also learned that lifting heavy weights in the gym will not make me explode into the hulk, in fact it's doing the opposite and I've never felt better!
Having my check-ins to keep me on track and accountable. I also enjoyed all of the weekly tips Liv gives on her instagram and facebook page. Last but certainly not least I loved all the yummy recipes on Pintrest and in the monthly newsletter, it's definitely helped me to eat more vegetables, turns out they don't always have to taste bad!
I felt the support I received from Liv was exceptional and would recommend friends/family looking for a nutrition coach for her program!
Andie
I feel a million times better and have lots more confidence!
I worked with Liv for 6+ months.
She went through a reverse diet for 3 months to increase food to improve energy levels and quality of life. We increased her calories by 500 in 3 months, all while maintaining her weight.
This allowed her to head into the holidays without a restriction or fear of re-gaining weight. During her reverse diet she was able to reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and hit new PR’s in her Crossfit gym.
