Based on a recommendation from my niece Sarah, I began my journey with Tieva and Sanara Wellness. I cannot say enough good things about this whole process. Tieva was great to work with. I learned to be more careful about reading food label and staying away from processed food. My goal was to lose weight so I can continue my active lifestyle as I age without carrying excessive weight around!! In the process, I also found my inflammation and aches and pains had gone away. The plan is very easy to follow, it’s not restrictive, I never felt hungry.. it is a lifestyle change, not a diet where you are constantly measuring and being careful to not eat too much. The journals, helped me to remain accountable on a daily basis and the daily weigh in was an encouragement versus a typical step on the scale where you feel defeated. I am still amazed at how quickly the weight came off and at least once or twice I adjusted my goal weight downward, initially thinking, I could never reach my original goal and surpassing that. After my very healthy (vegetable farmer) daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer at 30 I knew it was time to take control of my own health, becoming my healthiest self by eating better. This program has hit the mark on all things towards this goal, including eliminating inflammation and stress reduction, as well as weight loss. I cannot say enough, good things about the program and would highly recommend it to anyone, as I have to my friends. My biggest regret is that I didn’t find this program sooner!!
Just finishing up the program and learned so much about what works well for my body and what doesn’t. Also lowered my resting heart rate, improved sleep, and overall feeling better!
Samara Wellness changed my life. Full disclosure I teach yoga for Sanara. Tieva approached me to go through the program. I agreed because I wanted to know more about what the clients were going through. It was the best decision. I have lost an impressive amount of weight, I have never ate more in my life and I feel fantastic. No more night sweats, no more joint pain that required daily Advil and no more energy crashes in the afternoon. Not only have I benefited from this program but my daughter has been watching. She is now learning the tools to keep her healthy throughout her life. I can’t thank Sanara enough.
When we think about health, learning to love our bodies may not seem like the primary goal. Many of us have been conditioned to see our bodies as something to fight, fix, shrink, or control.
Weight changes, hormonal shifts, illness, aging… these are not failures. They are experiences a body may move through in life.
What if, instead of fearing our bodies, we learned to understand them?
Before working with Tieva, I held many of the beliefs that so many women share. I believed my body needed to be smaller before I could feel more confident. I believed wellness was tied to discipline, perfection, or finally reaching a certain number.
As a mindset and career coach working with a wellness coach, I knew I needed someone who could help me do the deeper work, not just around food or weight, but around mindset, self-trust, and how I saw myself.
Working with Tieva helped me approach wellness from a more holistic perspective. I learned to include all of me in the process, not just the version of me in photos, on the scale, or shopping for a swimsuit.
Over time, I began to see myself more clearly. I learned how daily steps, better food choices, reduced inflammation, and consistent self-care could build not only better health, but a kinder relationship with my body.
Tieva said something to me that I will never forget as she watched my progress and growing confidence: “Your body is loving you.” That changed everything for me.
I love my body. I love the opportunity to make each day healthier. Not from fear. Not from shame. Not from perfection. From care.
In June, it will be one year since I began this journey. I share this not only as a graduate of the program, but also as Sanara’s Integrative Transformation Coach. After decades in the coaching and counseling space, I am honored to support women who are ready to understand their bodies differently, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with their health in a way that feels compassionate and sustainable.
I hope you’ll consider joining us on your own journey. The women involved in this work are thoughtful, skilled, and deeply committed to helping you feel supported every step of the way.
Working with Tieva as my coach has been one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself. She blends real expertise with genuine care, and the way she's reshaped how I eat—and how my body feels as a result—has made all the difference.
My relationship with my weight has been a lifelong battle. I've cycled through every yo-yo diet you can think of, and none of them ever stuck. Then at 35, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and after I had my baby, the inflammation and pain made movement difficult. The weight started creeping back. I tried to take control by joining an online exercise community of women, and while that helped me drop some pounds at first, I eventually hit a wall. The scale wouldn't move. I was exhausted. And my RA symptoms weren't getting any better, no matter how disciplined I was with my workouts. I needed someone who could see the whole picture instead of just one piece of it. That someone turned out to be Tieva.
The first thing Tieva helped me realize is that nutrition—not exercise—was the missing piece for me. She introduced me to a whole-foods way of eating and walked me through pinpointing exactly which foods were fueling inflammation and stalling my progress. Some of them were foods I'd always assumed were good for me! Bit by bit, she helped me understand which fats and carbs my body actually thrives on, and how to eat in a way that feels calm and intuitive instead of restrictive. The shift in how my body responded was honestly stunning. My hormones feel more balanced, the inflammation has come way down, my joints don't ache the way they used to, my energy stays even all day, and my sleep has improved more than I can describe.
But what really makes Tieva exceptional is that she doesn't just coach you on what to eat—she coaches you as a person. She helped me eframe my whole relationship with food, my body, and the idea of "weight loss." On the days I stumbled, she didn't lecture me or make me feel like I'd failed; she met me with kindness and reminded me that imperfect days are part of real progress. She was consistently available, quick to respond, and clearly invested in me as an individual. I always felt like she had my back.
If you're on the fence about reaching out to Tieva, take this as your sign. Under her coaching, I lost 25 pounds!!. But most importantly, she also gave me back my energy, better sleep, relief from joint pain, a sustainable way of living, and the tools to keep all of it going long after our work together. She is the kind of coach who genuinely changes lives, and I will be grateful for her for a long time.

We are so happy that you're part of our team, of strong and impowered women! Thank you for sharing the message and hopefully encouraging another woman to change her life!
I signed up to work with Malory for a 90-day program to lose weight, reduce inflammation, and improve my overall health and wellness.
Over the course of working with Malory, I lost 23 pounds and 18 inches—but more importantly, I gained a deeper understanding of how to optimize my overall health and wellness.
What really set this experience apart was how personalized and sustainable the approach felt. It wasn’t just about short-term results; I learned nutrition that was focused specifically to me individually. I also practiced habits, mindset shifts, and strategies that I know I can carry with me long-term. Malory was encouraging, positive, supportive, and knowledgeable, every step of the way.
An unexpected but incredibly meaningful benefit was how I was able to heal quickly and recover from two major surgeries, which I believe was a direct result of the foundation we built together.
I’m grateful for the guidance and support I received! I would highly recommend Malory to anyone looking to improve not just their weight, but their overall health, longevity, and quality of life.
I can’t say enough about my experience working with Malory. From the very beginning, I felt heard, supported, and never judged, even when I was complaining 😝. Malory was so patient with me and always had helpful tips and little adjustments that made everything feel doable.
Each week, something started to shift. By week 3, my inflammation was gone. By week 4, I wasn’t snacking between meals anymore. By week 5, I had already lost 20 lbs and it just kept going from there. My cravings disappeared, my afternoon crashes went away, and I started to feel like myself again.
By week 12, I had lost 41.4 pounds and went from a size 12/14 to a 4/6. But honestly, it’s so much more than the weight. My energy went up, my pain went down, and my confidence completely changed.
What surprised me most is how much I actually enjoy this way of eating now. I don’t feel restricted, I feel in control. I even catch myself dancing while I eat sometimes 💃🏻 My experience with Malory truly changed everything for me, and I’m so grateful to have had her guiding me through it.
Malory has coached me in the past and it was life changing. It’s been 1.5 years since I graduated but I still follow a lot of what I was taught. I went from being depressed, anxious, significantly overweight with poor self control and even worse self esteem. I went from being out of breath after walking a flight of stairs to being able to reach the summit of a mountain with my son last summer! It was probably one of my more treasured moments and I would not have been so successful without Malory’s coaching and commitment.
Working with Malory has been so easy, educational & life changing! As a 60yo woman that’s tried every diet, pill or fad known to man, I had an extra 40+lbs of post menopausal weight, a fib, no cartilage in my knee for 14yrs and pain that could stop me in my tracks while working 12hr shifts as a bedside nurse. I was scheduled for a total knee replacement in a month & could not lose any weight to save my soul. I have always been active, never had trouble losing weight or keeping it under control. I considered my diet healthy, I was going to the gym regularly. All, until I could not. I was beyond beside myself. The weight kept coming , the clothes kept shrinking and my once energetic spirit, fading. I could feel my quality of life slipping away & all my PCP or gynecologist could offer was “welcome to post menopause” or “ it’s tough to get old”. I’ve known Malory her entire lifetime & knowing she was a weight loss coach, I called her to discuss my options. I did not want to go on GLP1s and felt if anyone could help me focus and stay on track it would be her. The added bonus of knowing she wouldn’t put up with my nonsense & would hold me accountable was the added plus I needed. I was hoping to see just a 5 or 10lb loss to help with recovery but was skeptical. Yet today with her help I’ve not only lost close to 30lbs post-op without exercising, I’ve kept it off! I’ve learned the tools & proper foods I need to help my body burn fat, redirect my stress. I sleep better and now know how to eat so that I will remain a healthier version of myself as I age. Now 61, I’m back in the gym, still working as a bedside nurse, doing yard work, walking & playing with my dog! All pain free, lighter and in a new wardrobe & looking forward to aging on my terms! Mal has been a dedicated, driven person since birth and continues to find ways to help people to become the best version of themselves. I honestly couldn’t be happier with my results & the education I now possess. I also couldn’t be any happier for her as she embarks on her new journey with Sanara Wellness.
Working with Malory changed my life. I was able to lose 35 pounds and I learned so much about what works best for my body nutritionally that I have been able to keep the weight off for over a year. But it wasn’t just about the weight, I have less inflammation and more energy. I learned that I can do hard things. Malory was a great guide on my journey and I know that I could not have done it without her patience and calm understanding.
Tieva helped me reconnect with my self worth in a way no other ever has. Her coaching is honest, supportive, and transformative. I walked away with confidence, clarity, and a deeper understanding of MY value. She taught me how to use food as fuel, which became a game‑changer in my healing.
With her support and food education, I’ve felt my absolute best post‑chemo and through my recurrence diagnosis. I believe because of her I am stronger, clearer, and more grounded in myself than I ever expected. She will get you to your goal and will not walk away from you.
Her purpose is to teach us and encourage us in the understanding that that our health is not just about the weight loss. Finding our own value and purpose as women, mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and whatever else we've stacked on our plates.
She helps you to discover what gets you up every single day that is just for YOU. When I was asked that question, I realized I never once considered this before working with her. It took me a while to figure that out, and every day I work on honoring myself, although I dont always have this fully figured out, Tieva supports me and all of us on the entire journey.
I sincerely hope that any woman who is feeling hopeless, lost, or like they don't deserve this, will know Tieva and experience what her coaching can do. It is a wonderful gift.

So happy that you found us and partnered with us when you did. You are so worth the invest and the dedicated time!
I’ve tried pretty much everything when it comes to food, and working with Tieva has honestly been one of the most valuable things I’ve done for myself. This wasn’t about cutting everything out or feeling deprived, it was about learning how to actually nourish my body with simple, whole foods and not feel stressed around eating.
I’ve lost over 20 pounds and 30 inches, but more importantly, I understand my body so much better now. I’ve seen improvements in my digestion, sleep, energy, and even clearer thinking. What really stood out to me is that I didn’t have to be perfect to see results. I could eat real meals, have normal days, and still stay on track.
One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that my body fluctuates, and that it’s normal. That alone has taken so much stress out of the process and helped me stay consistent instead of getting discouraged.
If you’re looking for something sustainable that actually works long-term, not just a quick fix, I would definitely recommend Tieva.

Thank you so much Michelle and it's been absolute pleasure working with you and having you as part of our wellness family!
Tieva was amazing to work with! One of the biggest changes I experienced from working with Tieva was a significant reduction in inflammation as well as shedding some weight. I felt less bloated, more energized, and overall more comfortable in my body day to day. I also started sleeping through the night, which made a huge difference in how I felt and functioned each day. Recognizing these wins kept me motivated and helped me see progress in a much healthier, more balanced way.
Tieva was incredibly supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested in my progress. Whether I had questions, needed motivation, or just wanted to share a small win, she was always there to help. That level of consistent support made a huge difference in staying on track.
I would absolutely recommend working with Tieva to anyone looking for support.

Thank you for sharing and for being a part of our wellness family. We love all of the wins- on and off scale!
Working with Tieva has been truly life changing. I came to her after breast cancer, deep in menopause, and struggling with the side effects of treatment. She didn’t just teach me how to eat whole, nourishing foods that support my hormones and reduce inflammation, she helped me rebuild my belief in myself.
Through her coaching, I’ve learned that I am strong, capable, and in control of my health. The biggest gift she gave me is the ability to recognize when I’m off track and confidently shift my habits back to what serves my body and mind.
This isn’t just about weight loss or diet, it’s a complete mindset shift. I’m beyond grateful for her guidance and support.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey and for partnering with us!
My experience working with Tieva was fantastic! She was amazing to work with. Always supportive and accessible. Just the perfect amount of support and reinforcement tied in with accountability which was what I needed! So lucky to have found her! Learned so much about my body and the way to treat it! Definite game changer and the only experience I have had that is realistic and maintainable. Felt improvement overall with health, sleep, and and just feeling better!
Tieva was the best thing to happen to me. She always gave me solutions to food issues, which was always to “eat more”. Feed the body, do not deprive it, was a new approach for my life long struggle with emotional eating. The understanding and encouragement was invaluable!! The program changed my life!!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and you already know how much we value having you as part of our wellness family!
This program changed my life! My body was so inflamed. Weight gain, hot flashes, joint pain, you name it. Tieva coached me into believing in myself and that how I showed up for myself and others matters! Within a couple of weeks of eating whole foods and eliminating what was inflammatory - my joint pain went away, I was sleeping through the night, my mental clarity was sharp and hormonal fluctuations were decreased. I ended up losing almost 30lbs but the significance was really in the total inches I lost - 28 inches! My clothes finally fit again, I wasn't out of breath going up the stairs. It changed my life. It truly is an invaluable program. Absolutely worth the long term investment for yourself!

So glad you made the investment and did the work! You now have a body that functions properly and you hold the keys!!
My journey with Tieva as a wellness coach was outstanding and extremely beneficial in every day life. I came to her looking for guidance and help with inflammation and digestive issues. She worked with me and explained how foods can impact every aspect of our well-being and understanding how to manage that process daily.
It was a life changing process for me, as food was more of a function and not out of enjoyment of eating. Life gets busy and she coached me through eating the right foods at the right time. The result of weight loss was incredible but that was not my intention when I signed up for this journey. But with the weight loss, I have more energy as an active person, I sleep better and I have more focus running my business.
Every time I had a question or concern, she would have answers, and every time I reached out she would listen and teach. Working with her gave me information to live by every day, and the weight loss is a natural reaction to the changes that were made. I didn't set a weight loss goal, as I was more interested in finding solutions for joint paint and digestive discomfort, but 36 pounds later my biggest problem is finding new clothes that fit. I can't thank Tieva enough for her coaching style, compassion and expertise in this area, as the research she did will help all different types of people. I will continue to use this for the rest of life and it is Tieva I have to thank for this transformation. I am extremely grateful for Tieva and this process!

Together we found what worked for your unique body and now you’re back in the driver seat of your health!
I had an incredible experience working with Coach Tieva. Before her program, my autoimmune issues and inflammation made even simple things like going up and down stairs painful. I wasn’t moving much, and I struggled with eating—I did it out of necessity, not enjoyment.
This journey wasn’t easy for me, but Tieva was patient and supportive every step of the way. She completely changed my approach to food, teaching me how to nourish my body with whole, simple, nutritious foods. She helped me build a healthy relationship with eating—I now actually enjoy food, feel hunger again, and truly like what I eat.
The weight loss was a bonus, but the biggest changes were in my quality of life. I went from not sleeping and relying on medication to sleeping deeply (and even taking naps!). I can move again—walking, exercising, and even hiking. My pain is now manageable.
One of the most meaningful moments for me was dancing all night at my daughter’s wedding with no pain the next day—something I never thought would be possible.
Even my bloodwork improved significantly, and my doctors were impressed.
I’m so grateful for Tieva’s patience, guidance, and belief in me when I didn’t believe in myself. She truly helped me get my life back.

Thank you for sharing! We are so happy and grateful that you choose to partner with us and look forward to future updates!
I can’t recommend this wellness program enough—working with my coach, Tieva, was truly life-changing.
Tieva was kind, direct, and exactly what I needed. I’m a very straightforward person, and her approach kept me accountable. She was also very supportive, always available when I needed her, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way.
I lost the weight I wanted, my inflammation is gone, and I have so much more energy—especially for my grandbabies. My skin looks better, joints feel better, and my brain fog has cleared.
Learning how to read food labels has been a total game changer. I still eat foods I enjoy, but now follow the core principles and feel better than I have in years. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to truly feel better, build healthier habits, and see real, lasting results!
