Testimonials
Real people. Real change.
Here’s what some of the people I’ve had the privilege of working with have to say...because sometimes, the best way to understand what coaching can do is to hear it from the people who’ve experienced it.
I had the opportunity to work with Simona over a four-week period at a time when I had experienced a bit of a wake-up call in terms of my health, and the need in particular to improve my diet and blood sugar and cholesterol levels. The sessions were a great kick start, and equipped me with a range of strategies, tools and techniques that I could use to achieve my goals of improving my health and gaining more energy. Simona was great to work with and provided just the right mix of support and challenge. She was enthusiastic, supportive and flexible – helping me to find sustainable ways of changing some ingrained habits that were getting in the way of the necessary change, while at the same time taking a realistic approach. I learnt a lot, and was able to see measurable improvements in the short time we worked together. I became less bloated, felt more energetic and managed to lose some weight along the way. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking to improve their health and wellbeing and could benefit from some friendly and non-judgemental support.

I have so enjoyed my 4 week sessions with Simona. She has been so encouraging with a little gentle persuarion to help me look at myself and feel I can achieve so much more. I also feel I have tools to hard should I need them in situations that are creeping out of control and this is thanks to Simona. She is so encourainging and knowing how hard to encourage you without going too far. I would certainly recommend her to friends and family and wish her all the success in the future.

Simona has been an excellent health and wellbeing coach to work with. I really didn’t know what to expect from these sessions, but she has provided great challenge and support in my journey to lose weight and has given me some really useful tips and techniques to use so I can continue to try and conquer this lifelong goal once and for all!. Our sessions are relaxed, humorous, and she probes with care and empathy to understand the challenges in the past and to try and provide support for the future. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simona as a health and wellbeing coach. Thank you, Simona, for helping me look at things from a different perspective.

My initial discovery session and subsequent four sessions with Simona were very insightful and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her on understanding my triggers behind my emotional eating habits. Simona offered a safe and trusting space, and provided me with all the tools I needed to shift my health and wellbeing. She challenged my way of thinking and ensured I remained accountable and on track during the time we worked together. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get on track with their health and wellbeing goals.

Working with Simona has been a truly transformative experience. I
initially sought coaching to improve my efficiency and ensure steady progress towards
both my personal and business goals. Through our sessions I was able to identify areas
where I could improve my focus and recognise activities that were draining my time or
diverting me from my purpose.
Simona was intuitive, insightful and incredibly supportive, creating an environment where
I felt comfortable and at ease. She skilfully challenged my routines, behaviours and
mindsets, allowing me to gain fresh perspectives and uncover smarter, more sustainable
approaches. Beyond productivity and goal setting, Simona also helped me to address
important lifestyle factors such as eating habits and exercise barriers, ensuring that my
overall wellbeing aligned with my ambitions. Her guidance has been invaluable in helping
me to implement lasting changes.
I highly recommend Simona to anyone who is looking to make positive changes in their
life, whether that be improving their overall wellness, developing healthier nutrition and
exercise habits, increasing productivity, gaining clarity or enhancing focus and efficiency.
In addition to refining my daily routines, my coaching journey with Simona has enabled
me to gain a deeper understanding of how my lifestyle choices impact my performance
and wellbeing. If you are ready to take control of your time, energy and wellbeing, I
encourage you to invest in coaching with Simona – it could be the transformative step
that changes your life for the better! Thank you so much Simona!

I achieved a goal that I had not even set out to reach but the support of this program with Simona has given me the drive to identify and reach other goals I need to think about in life, especially in my stage in life. Simona is going to achieve her goal of helping other people. She has a fantastic aura about her and I'm going to miss this program. "I will be back!". The only improvement would have been meeting face to face.

I was matched with Simona at Ciao Change by Carers in Herts. At the time I was struggling a great deal with anxiety and emotional stress relating to my role as the main carer for my ex-husband who had severe vascular dementia. Underlying the above struggles were some deep-rooted aspects of my life related to the time during my marriage which had significantly impacted me and the subsequent range of vying emotions I felt at the time.
By the means of gentle two-way conversation, I was able over time to explore my emotions surrounding these memories, discussing, unravelling and understanding some dark thoughts that had been buried for many years. Health coaching has empowered me to take a different view and own my own strengths overcoming difficult times.
Talking openly and confidentially and in a non-judgmental way, teasing out my inner insecurities has given me greater confidence in my own value and self-worth. I have been helped to understand, acknowledge and value my place within my close family. Further to recognise and be proud of my own achievements over the years.
I believe at first, I was rather skeptical about the value of this style of help, but with the benefit of reflection I would honestly recommend Ciao Change to help explore yourself. And the challenges faced.
The informal chats over a cup of coffee with a friendly face who really listened, became an hour in my diary I truly looked forward to. Simona’s wealth of knowledge in human beings, psychology and wellbeing is tremendous as is her passion to support individuals.
