Steffi ThorlichenI began working with Abby earlier this year, and the experience has been transformative. I was in urgent need of developing a healthy and balanced relationship with food, as I sensed that something was amiss and required a deeper analysis. Abby provided the guidance I needed. Through two months of diligent journaling and experimenting with different dietary scenarios, we discovered that I have an underlying thyroid issue. Throughout this journey, Abby has been an unwavering source of support, guiding me through the highs and lows. Her expertise in nutritional science has been invaluable, but equally important has been her compassionate presence during challenging moments. With the appropriate medication and Abby's continued care and support, I am confident in my ability to maintain a healthy and energetic future. Moreover, Abby has inspired me to explore new foods, cook, and bake—activities that were unfamiliar to me before our work together. Her influence has not only improved my physical health but also enriched my life in meaningful ways.
