What would YOU achieve?
Drastically reduce cravings
What I liked most about working with you is your genuine interest and caring in my progress. Your sense of humor. Your remembering of and reminding me of things that are important to me so that I didn't go overboard on lifestyle changes to the point where I would eventually fail because I was abstaining too much from the pleasures of life.
I worked with Stella for 3 months. I didn’t really know her and hadn’t talked with anyone that had worked with her. But I clearly got way more out of it than I expected! Not only did I shed some weight, but I also learned how to eat healthier and how to drastically reduce cravings so that I could lose even more weight on my own and keep it off.
I got a lifetime of knowledge in only a few short months. And I know that knowledge will stay with me forever!

Learned to curb my cravings
Stella helped me so much! Under her guidance I went from feeling despair and resignation to being hopeful and excited about my future. I gained confidence, lost weight, learned to curb my cravings for sweets/snacks and discovered the power of "tiny habits". I can't recommend Stella highly enough!

I've lost 19 lbs and keep losing
I've lost 19 lbs and keep losing. I went from size 16 to size 12! I cleaned up my wardrobe and gave away all the pants that were too big, it felt so good! I know I won’t need them anymore, because it’s natural to keep the weight off now, I don’t have to work hard for it!
It’s not that hard, you just have to take the time… And that’s one of the things I loved the most with Stella, she is very patient and never tried to push me where I didn’t want to go. She would offer tools and suggestions, and then let me chose the ones I wanted to try out. I am so thankful for the weight I have lost, but I think what makes me even happier is the new way I look at myself and the way I live my life now and how it has changed my relationships with others. This is a blessing!!!
Stella has helped me realize that being healthy is not just about weight and exercise; it’s also about caring for myself as much as I care for others. I have learned so much with Health Coaching! I have started to share all that with my loved ones because I know that if it has worked for me, it can work for them too!

Unmatched professionalism
Health and wellness has more than one component and, as a gym owner, I know that finding and working with professionals in the industry that share the same commitment can be difficult. When I met Stella, I could tell immediately that she had a passion and love for people's health and wellness and I knew I wanted her as part of my team.
Working will Stella has been a pleasure and anyone that gets the opportunity will see her unmatched professionalism.

Emboldened and grounded
Stella is my kind of lady. Our conversations leave me feeling emboldened and grounded… ready for all the world has to throw my way. Working with Stella has given me tools that help me tackle obstacles in a new productive way, rooted in confidence. She is a great coach and I would wholeheartedly recommend Allons-y Coaching for anyone else who needs help in realizing how magnificent they really are!

Dive deeper
What makes Stella stand out to me is her listening to the deeper issues covered under apparently superficial problems. She is not afraid to dive deeper, and help you to explore further into what is holding you back. And, by doing so, we may divert entirely from the initial goal set for the session, but that is great, because I always end up with an outcome much bigger and better than I had initially set up for myself.
Her approach is very tactful, not intrusive, and open-minded, and she is fully present at the session, which makes you feel accompanied every step of the way. Her coaching presence allows her to always bring a fresh, unthought-of perspective to every situation, which reorganizes your mental content in different “drawers”, opening up room to new possibilities.
I always leave the session feeling “loved”, because that is the energy Stella puts out during the entire encounter: it doesn’t matter what you are going through, where you are and where you want to be, she is there, and she can “love” you for where you are, and for who you are. She is the person to go to if you are looking for deep, long-lasting changes.

Science as well as heart
Trying to approach lifestyle change can be daunting. Many of us struggle with habits that seem to have a life of their own, unaffected by any efforts we make. To find a coach who brings science as well as heart to the process is a gift. Stella Loichot is one such coach and I highly recommend her class!
As Stella was teaching us how we could befriend our bodies, the entire group began to open like a flower that has found a refreshing stream nearby. Such a gift—to find community and kindness as we work to bring healthy patterns to our lives.
Over the course of three months, Stella helped a diverse group shift from negative self-assessments to a more compassionate understanding of why our habits developed in the first place. She brought to our awareness current research, helping us relax about our goals—shifting from a need for immediate results to more long-term, sustainable plans.

From surviving to thriving
Finding Stella as a health and wellness coach has absolutely changed my life. I did not have very many skills to take care of myself nor did I know how to eat healthy. Stella's knowledge, communications skills and expertise can't be beat. On top of that, her kindness and positivity makes her coaching that much more effective. I have gone from just surviving emotionally and physically to truly thriving, and I couldn't have done it without her support. I will continue to work with Stella to reach my long-term goals and aspirations because with her amazing things happen and anything is possible when she is my coach.

Support needed to stop the cravings
Stella was very helpful as I worked to kick my sugar addiction. She is very warm and affirming in supporting my goals and kept me mindful of why I was there when I slipped up, asking me what worked for me when I was successful, helping me get back on track with helpful tools. She takes a whole person approach, after many attempts on my own, I finally got the information and support I needed to address and stop the cravings!

Based on scientific research
Stella's teaching is based on scientific research, educates and empowers. She talks to you in words and images and creates an atmosphere for a personal exchange. I have since implemented her recommendations that make a difference to my quality of sleep. She helps you to protect what is very important in our overall health.

Even during the pandemic, I am not craving comfort food
Stella has been a total joy to work with. She truly listens and offers sound ways to improve relationship with food. She has been inspirational in so many ways. Her holistic and practical approach has helped me become more mindful and centered. Even during this pandemic and the state of this crazy world, I am not craving and seeking comfort food — even when ”indulging.” I’ve become much more in tune when my body tells me I’m satisfied. I am losing weight slowly. I workout with a trainer three times a week and go for walks. I’m feeling so much more on top of my life. I’m not stressing over things I have no control while doing my best to help. So amazing that Stella has helped me become a happier person as a result of improving my health. Thank you beyond words!

A different slant on the same old problems
I met with Stella to jump start my desire to be more conscious of my eating habits. She is fun to talk with and helped me. I really liked that I could take an approach to food and eating that was different for me. When I signed up I wondered if I would really get anything new than what I have had before from reading on nutrition topics. She helped me take a different slant on the same old problems.

Things seem so much clearer
Stella is an absolutely amazing coach! From my first session, she made me feel so comfortable and safe. Stella is one of the most empathetic and compassionate people I have ever met. After my sessions, things always seem so much clearer to me. I have learned so much about myself since working with Stella. I cannot wait to see what my future entails! Thank you for your tremendous guidance Stella!

Long-lasting impact on my relationship with food
I started working with Stella at a time when I had been successfully counting calories for years, but knew that I was on the brink of stopping. Her idea of being able to be free of those confines (no matter how much comfort it gave me) was intriguing and refreshing. Working together, she helped me establish a framework for myself that I could use to make the healthiest decisions regarding food while still allowing me the indulgences that I craved. It took me a little while to put "everything in moderation" into practice effectively, but with her help it finally sunk in.
Stella also challenged me to expand my horizons regarding what I ate, taught me how to make bread, and helped me find the confidence to experiment with my cooking. Now I bake my own bread and my own sweet treats, and I cook with greater confidence. My kitchen, instead of being a place that is just there, or something to dread, is a place where I find pleasure, and sometimes *gasp* even fun! I didn't think that was even in the realm of possibility for me.

What's Stella's secret sauce?
If you ever make your way into one of Stella’s workshops, you’d be glad you did. I attended her session on sleep in a recent ICF event. Two hours later found myself with eyes wide-open and eager to put to immediate practice all that I learned.
What’s Stella’s secret sauce? It may be a blend of science-based easy explanations, non-judgmental and compassionate perspectives, gentle humor, and a passion for self-discovery and action. Hers are not just words – she walks the talk! We got a glimpse of her personal struggle with sleeping well and the creativity in her approach to finding a solution. And she helped us realize that having a good night sleeps is not only important but is also within everybody’s reach, even if getting there may be outside their comfort zone.

So thankful to have found you
After we hung up from our Complimentary Consultation, I told my husband: “I know what we have to work on now!” Stella, you have a very caring approach to such a difficult task. You also helped me understand that eating healthy foods that our body needs will eventually reduce our unhealthy cravings! These are the kinds of things we all need to understand so we don’t give up! I’m so thankful to have found you!

So personable and friendly
"I attended a talk that Stella gave on sleep and learned so much from it that I could use in my daily life. She is so personable and friendly that it was easy to stay engaged with what she was teaching. I have actually done a lot of research on sleep and heard many new things from Stella that I didn't know already. She is well-informed and conveys the material in a way that is easy to understand.”

An amazing coach who keeps it real
I can't even begin to really describe how fulfilled I am after starting the Y weight loss program with Stella. Listen, this I real talk here. Not only did I gain amazing relationships with women who share the same "hardships" as me, but I met an amazing coach who keeps it real. She has helped me understand the real truths about healthy eating and weight loss. Debunking all of the myths that are out there and still making you feel good as a person. No scams. No BS. No frauds.

Just 1 pound away from my goal
Life has been busy! The Wellness Assessment we did together 6 months ago really helped me to abandon choosing small meals every couple of hours and switching to fewer, more substantial meals. I am now just one pound away from my goal!!! Increasing my physical activity level also had a big impact on my weight loss. This also seems to have reduced my appetite some. Thanks again for your assistance!

She provides high-quality coaching and goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel cared for. I would highly recommend working with Stella.
Her passion and dedication to helping others reach their health & wellness goals are inspiring. Stella tackles challenges head on and uses them as an incredible opportunity for growth & development. She puts her best foot forward, and gives 100% in the work she does.

Nerver harsh or judgmental
Stella was a fantastic coach for our Lose to Win group. She is really good with reflective listening, actually hearing each of our concerns and addressing them. I think she really connected with each of us as we struggled thru the hard work of changing habits. She gave gentle encouragement that was never harsh or judgmental, but accepted us where we were. She shared ideas about living healthy overall and a bread recipe that my family now makes regularly. With her voice in my head, I am working on "feeling good in my body".

Creative and refreshing
Stella’s French approach to wellness and health is creative and refreshing, yet she keeps it real. She is highly trustworthy, kind, inspiring and will have your back and be there for you through the challenges. Depending on your goals and needs, you’d definitely find some new recipes, better ways to grocery shop, ideas for getting healthier or more fit and much more.

It is paying off
I attended Stella's workshop on "Sleep". I am a runner and her presentation made realize that sleep is as important as nutrition in keeping an athlete strong and injury free. I have changed my habits and it is paying off. Thank you Stella!

Strategies that fit my lifestyle
Stella was my nutritionist for the first half of 2020, and I was pleased with the results. She is thoughtful, creative, and particularly well educated in nutrition. Despite my abnormal travel schedule, she provided tactics and strategies that fit my lifestyle and were realistic to implement. I'd certainly recommend her to others looking to level up their nutrition and sleep.

I was in control
I had a great time working with Stella. She used a very personalized approach and focused on areas that I could realistically improve, but most importantly, that I was ready and motivated enough to work on. I had only a few pounds to lose to reach my weight goal, and exercising more and more just wouldn't do it.
She provided me with advises and tips about the way I eat and exercise that helped me reach my goal. She came up with ideas I had not thought about before.
I liked that she was not trying to impose me a specific calendar or routine, but went with a one-at-a-time, small goal approach, which she understood I could sustain longer than one involving drastic changes to my daily routine. It was really a collaboration process, which I felt I was in control of. I would work with her again, without hesitation.

Very much down-to-earth
Before working with Stella, I only ate ready-made processed food, with very little natural foods such as vegetables and fruit. Stella is warm, but at the same time, very much down to earth, and she does not waste time with B.S. We only worked together for a few weeks, but it was enough for me to completely change my eating habits.
I am now having proper meals with lots of fruit and vegetables throughout the day. I am eating healthy and not too much, but I still treat myself to something good when I want to. Now that I eat well, I feel less hungry, and that makes a big difference in the way my day goes by!
