"This past month I have learned and acknowledged more about my self than I have in 19 years of my life. Not only did I get reacquainted with my body but I became in tune with my mind." - Williams Student
"Booking ZTW and meeting with Nicole was totally different than I thought. She wasn't just telling me not to eat Oreos and chips! It wasn't even about food so much. It was about WHEN to eat and HOW to eat for your own body! I feel AMAZING and it's only been 3 days!! I will not stop eating this way!" - Becky Miner, Zumba in the Berkshires
"As a friend, I have always looked to Nicole for advice on nutrition and wellness. Her dedication to health and fitness inspired me to make changes in my own life. When I decided to make a serious change in my lifestyle, I knew I could trust Nicole to guide me in the right direction. As my health coach, Nicole taught me how to make simple changes that make a big difference. I made a series of small adjustments over a period of time that added up to a whole new lifestyle. I understand what healthy eating is now, and I am no longer intimidated by all the choices at the grocery store. For the first time in my life, I enjoy cooking, and the food is really good! Who knew I could love kale so much? But it’s not just about food and losing weight. The underlying theme is treating yourself well and growing in all aspects of your life. With Nicole’s help, I am on the path to an all-around healthier me." -Felicia, 36
"You may well have saved my life! I forgot what it's like to feel energetic and pain free. You've been able to steer me to the right Ayurvedic treatments that have done what no Western doctor has been able to do with my IBS. It's lovely to see a rosier face in the mirror every morning with a rosier outlook on life. I can't thank you enough!!!" -a 66-year old woman, on the mend
"I have greatly enjoyed the Ultimate Wellness class and have had so many aha moments. I feel like this class has been exactly what I need to break down those final barriers to really listening to my body and really embrace being healthy." -Lillian, 35, mother of 2
"Gaining weight, a lifetime of poor eating habits, feeling sluggish – all of these finally propelled me to seek help with my overall health and nutrition. I have tried other approaches in my quest to be thin, but wound up a yo-yo dieter with awful eating habits. Working with Nicole Anagnos over a six-month period of time, I learned ways to control cravings, make friends with new foods and cook delicious, easy-to-prepare meals. As a psychotherapist, I was impressed with her deep understanding of the role food can play and the reasons we eat. She is a compassionate, well-informed practitioner who deeply wants her clients to succeed. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone who is seeking to improve overall health and well-being." -Pat Doherty, LICSW
"Ultimate Wellness is a phenomenal course that offers students an opportunity to evaluate and improve the quality of their lives through understanding healthy lifestyle habits - with a specific focus on eating habits. I have gained a keen self awareness that has empowered me with new mechanisms for managing stress and my overall health. This course is extremely relevant to Williams students as well as the average American!" -Williams Senior
"Reaching a goal, any goal, isn't something that happens in a single fell swoop. It's always a series of tiny steps, each one requiring you to adjust your world just enough to accommodate the change. Then once in a while, you discover that one of those tiny steps offers a really big breakthrough. Nicole helped me figure out why I sometimes got in the way of my own wellness goals. She never imposed her own idea of what I needed -- instead, she listened carefully, helped me break broad themes into concrete (and realistic) steps, followed up with reminders and helpful suggestions, and really pushed me to make myself a priority. She took me seriously, was flexible in her approach, and was completely judgment-free - an important factor for those of us trying to get beyond our own worst habits. I'm taking better care of myself today than I have for years, and Nicole played an important role in how I got here." -Ali Benjamin, author of The Cleaner Plate Club
"I was a caterpillar when I met Nicole and she has helped me transform into a butterfly. I'm more confident and more importantly, I feel healthy inside and out. I came to Nicole with A LOT of health issues (I was quite the challenge!) and Nicole never gave up on me and she always steered me in the right direction. She helped me learn about myself through exercises we did and she opened my eyes to a lot of easy to make delicious organic food. I would HIGHLY recommended Nicole's program! I also can't forget to mention, I gained a wonderful friend." -Angela from Adams
"I have always been overweight and for the last few years I have suffered with anxiety. With Nicole and Zen Tree Wellness I have learned how food affects the body and mind. I was introduced to a variety of new foods and how to prepare them. I also learned what exercises work best for me. Now I exercise all the time, I have been losing weight and my anxiety has been getting better every day!" -Shenna, 36
"Nicole is compassionate, easy to talk to, well informed, supportive, and inspiring. I know many people that would benefit from her program! This has truly been an amazing learning experience for me! Getting my son to sleep through the night and including daily exercise have made a huge difference in my life. Learning about greens and how to be more aware of food craving triggers and making healthy snack choices has positively impacted my energy level and mood! I highly recommend this program!" - Shannon, mother of three
"Nicole has inspired me to lose 50 pounds of baby weight in the last year! I feel amazing, and like I'm finally myself again!" -Sarah, mom of two
