“I had been on hormonal birth control since I was 17-18. I’m 37 now.. yikes at that math! My husband and I were going to try to get pregnant a few years back at this point so I stopped the hbc. Wow was that a mistake trying to do it on my own. The symptoms I felt 6-ish months after stopping were so bad. I had the worst infected acne covering my entire chin. My body swelled, I was deficient in so many things. My body was so mad at me. I ended up going to the dermatologist (many of them), my obgyn and my primary care and they all put me on antibiotics for acne. This went on for 6 months. 6 months on antibiotics really messes with your body in the worst way. And they didn’t even help me so I was messing up my gut for nothing.
My acne stayed the same and sometimes was even worse.
I started working with Maddie in May 2022. We worked together for 12 weeks. I trusted her more than any doctor or specialist I saw because I knew she had my best interest in mind at every turn. Maddie is an angel that was sent to me during the hardest season in my adult life. I couldn’t be any more thankful for her!
Maddie helped me learn why my body was reacting the way it was from everything I’d been through. She had me test so many things with blood work. We also did the DUTCH hormone test and the GI stool test. They told the story we hoped. They told us what was wrong/out of wack and Maddie worked so hard to get me back to myself. To get me healthy again. The education she gives is next level. Let me tell you, working with her was the best thing I could have ever done. If someone has been on the fence about working with her, take this as your sign to jump head first. It’s seriously worth every cent I paid.
It doesn’t take much for your body to tell you there’s an issue but it takes a while to fix it once it’s struggling. Healing is hard and I couldn’t have done it without her. The friend I’ve gained in Maddie is just another bonus! Even though I know she had many clients when we worked together, she really cares about you and makes you feel like they’re the only one she has. What a blessing she is. A rare, super kind human. Love her so much!
Yes I cried writing this. Yes I know it’s long but it’s all so important. Maddie will always hold a special place in my heart because the love, support and help she gave me when I needed it the most means so very much to me.
I still have some things I still want to work on with her so I’m going to work with her again. I’ll always come back for routine maintenance or when there’s a problem I need help with. I won’t go anywhere else! Take my word on this - Maddie is the absolute best!”

After being diagnosed with both SIBO and PCOS, I walked out of my doctors' offices feeling confused, isolated, and wholly uneducated about my next steps. It was like I got a slip of paper with the diagnosis and was subsequently told to come back next year for a check-up. Although I felt confused and was offered no explanation or information, I knew that there had to be someone out there that could help me. I knew the way I was feeling (constant bloat, frequent diarrhea, low energy, struggle to loose weight) was not normal. I also knew that I needed guidance and support to make the changes necessary so that I could start to feel like myself again. Thankfully I found Maddie not too long after being diagnosed with PCOS. From the first call with Maddie, she helped me identify tangible ways to improve my lifestyle that ultimately got me back to feeling like myself. Maddie does an exceptional job of getting to know her clients and going below the surface to identify root causes to create and inspire lasting change. Anytime I had a question or needed advice, Maddie was there. Now the symptoms that I used to experience on a daily basis are no longer present. I don't suffer from the constant stomach discomfort after every meal. I don't wake up feeling like my stomach is in knots and bloated. Now I feel strong, balanced, and healthy inside and out. The skills I learned working with Maddie are not "quick fixes" because they are meant to be incorporated into your lifestyle for the long run. I was hesitant of that at first as I was eager for something to make me feel better immediately; however, I can confidently say that the tools and skills Maddie has equipped me with were easy to incorporate and more importantly, maintain. I would recommend anyone to work with Maddie who needs guidance and support on their health journey. It's easy to feel isolated and overwhelmed when you don't feel well, but I assure you that Maddie will be next to you every step of the way in pursuit of your goals. I am eternally grateful for all she has done to help me and I have Maddie to thank for helping me feel like "me" again.

“I cannot believe the 12 weeks have gone by! This has been seriously by far the best thing I’ve ever spent money on! It is worth its weight in gold ...PLUS MORE! I have never felt so good inside and out. I never thought it was possible to stop eating sugar! Not only have I given up some of the things that were causing inflammation, but the cravings are completely gone and food tastes so much better now that I’m eating REAL food. I could not have done this without you!”

“I started working with Maddie in September of 2022. I had tried every diet and plan for the quick fix, and by September I was not feeling at my best. Not only was I dealing with hormonal changes and the many symptoms associated with that, but I was always bloated, tired, and had gone too far off to know where to start again. I had lost weight with the previous different programs, but I eventually regained it back as none of the programs taught me how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In fact, due to the sequelae of symptoms I was experiencing, I was advised to undergo a total hysterectomy.
Maddie is a wealth of knowledge regarding functional health and nutrition and guided me on how to approach my symptoms. We started with the dutch testing which provided information that I never received from my PCP. She taught me how to nourish my body with healthy and "whole" foods which directly affected how I felt. It's only been 8 weeks, but I am feeling the best I've ever felt. I have no bloating, have so much energy, and have lost 8 pounds as a bonus! Maddie's approach is gentle yet all emcompassing - she has taught me to eat properly and see food as nourishment. The best part of working with Maddie is not only is she readily available for any questions/concerns, but I sincerely look forward to our weekly sessions! She is the sweetest person and coach and I've already recommended Maddie to a friend. She is truly a hidden gem that everyone needs!”

“When I started working with Maddie, I was feeling so lost with regard to my health, and had no idea what else I could possibly do to heal my body. I had been struggling with Chronic Lyme for 20+ years, was SO incredibly bloated and uncomfortable all the time, and was afraid of food because everything triggered me. I was dealing with intense fatigue and was generally feeling so defeated and depressed. I had tried just about everything to get better and truly thought I’d be stuck like this forever. I felt like Maddie was my last resort and I am so so happy I decided to team up with her because she changed my life. To start with, she listens intently and without judgment, then does an amazing job of collecting all the pertinent information to come up with a personalized and flexible plan. We met every week for at least an hour, which was amazing; but beyond that, Maddie makes herself accessible and available all the time between appointments. I could text her throughout the week to share wins, hard moments, weird symptoms, etc. and she would always get back to me. She truly is so much more than a health coach - she becomes your friend, your cheerleader, and your shoulder to lean on; plus, her wealth of knowledge is ridiculous. Maddie helped me diagnose my SIBO, then helped me cure it WITHOUT antibiotics! She provided me with so many tools along the way, making healing feel possible when I never thought it was before. While I still have a chronic illness, I now have a whole toolbox to nip symptoms in the bud before things get out of control. I was a sick person before I started working with Maddie, and I absolutely don’t identify that way anymore. I genuinely can’t say enough about Maddie and her coaching, but if you are on the fence, don’t think about it anymore! She is truly worth every penny and I promise you will walk away feeling like a new and improved person.” - Capriel (more below)
“I’ve learned SO much about balancing my blood sugar and how my specific body regulates glucose responses based on food, activity, sleep, etc. I learned to fully understand and appreciate the value of rest and sleep, as well as mindful eating. I have a whole notebook full of amazing things I learned from Maddie. This experience was just the best!”

“Maddie is the ideal person to guide you through your journey of healing and self-discovery around food and movement. She's an incredible listener- the kind of person who remembers little details about you that you might not even remember yourself. She really makes an effort to get to know her clients and celebrate them in a way that is totally infectious and authentic. She provides that perfect blend of support and empowerment. She'll be there every step of the way, especially at the beginning, to answer big questions and silly questions about food ingredients, meal prep, gut health, circuit training, stress relief, and everything in between. Her coaching is a journey because she will consistently remind you of your progress and growth as you move through the different coaching sessions. Her resources allow you to build a knowledge base that you can constantly refer back to. For many of us, mending a relationship with food feels impossible. She makes it feel possible, simple, and necessary. I cannot imagine surviving the stress of the pandemic/wildfires/election/racial uprisings of 2020 without understanding holistically the impacts of stress and benefits of nourishment on my body. Maddie is a one-of-a-kind health coach. There is nothing standard about this program - from its inception to the level of support she provides clients. This is an investment in your wellbeing for the rest of your life - well worth every penny and every fun, effortless coaching call. <3”

“Early 2020: diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. 2 blood transfusions. Trip to the ER. Multiple Dr appointments. Lost 20lbs in two weeks, then rebounded and gained 30 pounds that I couldn’t lose. Taking medicines and weekly injections of medication that made me feel bad to help control my UC. Bloated 24/7 and afraid to eat because even when I ate what I thought was healthy, I would still be in so much pain with a GI bleed. Told I would be on immunosuppressive medication the rest of my life to help control the disease, in the middle of a pandemic.
Late 2020: started working with maddhealthy! Within 1-2 months of her coaching, weaned off my medications successfully, had a clean colonoscopy, no more bloating or bleeding, learned how to eat healthy and why what I was always taught prior never worked. Was actually educated on why healthy habits work. Learned what hormone health was and discovered how mine were imbalanced, and how to go about fixing them.
2021: sustained all progress I made and continuing to see changes. Still learning more from Maddie all the time, and for the first time in MY LIFE, I’m in no pain, no bloating, able to control my symptoms and know what works and how to fix and problems might arise. Off of ALL medication and feeling better than ever. And have gained so much knowledge and passion about subjects I had no prior knowledge of. Forever grateful!
This is the first time since high school that I’ve been going to the bathroom regularly! I am off all of my UC medications!!! I feel 10X better than I did 3 months ago before working with you. My most recent CT scan found NO inflammation in my colon! My entire colon was severely inflamed last time I got a scan. This is actual evidence that everything I’ve done w/ your help has WORKED!! My Ulcerative colitis is in remission.
I used to have sugar cravings constantly. I was obsessed with it. Since I started learning about balancing my blood sugar, I don’t crave it anymore. I feel so FREE. Now I get hungrier sooner when I eat a lot of carbs in a meal and I can tell it’s because my blood sugar isn’t balanced. It’s so much BETTER and EASIER to eat this way! And best of all, it’s sustainable.”

"In 2020 I made the best decision of my life to work w/ Maddie and I completely changed my eating habits. Paleo has been the best medicine for my body and the symptoms of my chronic illness have been almost non-existent. A bonus to eating healthy has been losing over 40 pounds and feeling better than EVER! Thank you Maddie for helping me with this journey of healing my body. You are such an inspiration and the greatest health coach ever!
One of my biggest blessings was meeting Maddie. She has made a huge impact not only in my life but in the life of my family. Thank you for pushing me through my bad days and helping me on this journey. Your coaching has been SO beneficial to my health. I will forever be thankful.”

"I never thought I would be able to understand and know what the food I eat does to me and it be so easy to follow. This is not a diet! I went into this program with the mindset that this is going to be a lifestyle change and not a quick fix. I’ve quit coffee and my diet has changed completely, my overall thinking about food changed completely, and my obsessive wondering what the next meal is going to be completely went away! It’s really amazing how well she teaches and coaches you throughout this process. Very nurturing and patient and I’m so glad I met her through this I highly recommend to anybody who has struggled with weight loss, hormones, bad PMS, mood swings, anything that you’ve been struggling with or not really understanding all the diet out there this will really change and help your perspective!
I will never forget working with you, I hope to always work with you or keep referring people to you because you truly have changed my life and the way that I think about food and the way that I now have the confidence and the sleep, everything feels so much better thanks to you!"
— Demi
“This program really has taught me that everything I eat and surround myself with be it people, products and environment all effect my health. I had felt overwhelmed with how to approach feeling better and Maddie laid it out in such an easy to understand, doable way and provided encouragement and positive reinforcement. The focus was on small changes and sustainability so I could be successful and with that the overwhelmed feelings disappeared and empowerment was what I felt. She gave me the tools to learn how to start healing myself. I was able to lower and stabilize my blood sugar. I lowered my A1c from 7.1 to 6.3 and as a diabetic this is HUGE. I learned not to feel guilty for having a few non negotiables like morning quiet time and walks that help me manage my stress and stay on track. The community of ladies and the encouragement and positive attitudes she fosters will stay with me. My joint pain has decreased so much I can face my days with a positive attitude. I know there will still be good and bad days but I can get though it. I have the tools now and know I can do this. I am encouraged and no longer feel defeated. That is a huge WIN for me.”

I started working with Maddie because I had terrible hormonal acne, fatigue, the worst eczema of my life, and really painful periods -- along with some GI problems. I knew something had to change but I wasn't sure what. I was softly diagnosed with PCOS the July before I found Maddie. After having exhausted both the standard medical route and homeopathic medicine, I was left feeling like I still wasn't 100% and had nowhere left to turn I stumbled upon Maddie on Instagram which was the greatest gift of my life (Maddie, that is!). I was a 0 on a scale of 10 and now I am in the process of healing and having more answers than I ever had.
Maddie has improved my fatigue, my periods, MY ECZEMA IS COMPLETELY CLEARED UP, and I feel better than I had. We are still very much on the journey, but through a holistic healthful approach, I feel better than I have most of my life. I now know where to turn for answers and we (Maddie and I) work through the process together. I am most grateful for my diet change -- mostly the paleo diet which serves to reduce the inflammation and I believe completely cleared up my inflammation. I have so much more to say, but overall am really grateful for the work Maddie is doing - so much so that I refer her to many people in my life. Thank you Maddie <3 <3

“I started working with Maddie due to concerns about my health/fertility, although I had seen doctors I never really got an answer to what was affecting me. It wasn't until I reached out to Maddie and started using her coaching program that I identified my stress and how badly it was affecting my physical and mental health. Through coaching, small changes in my nutrition/food habits, and other tools she introduced me to, I was able not only to become healthy again but was able to FEEL healthy again! I loved working with Maddie. I am in great health again, and am in good practice of utilizing the tools/resources she has shown me. I highly recommend anyone who is struggling with stress/anxiety, fertility, or nutritional health & wellness to see her. She is amazing!”

Maddie truly changed my life!
“I think I had SIBO for about three years before actually doing anything to get to the bottom of it which is so sad. I honestly just didn't want to pay for it and I got to the point one day where I’m like this is my entire health and my livelihood, I need to just take a SIBO test. I worked with Maddie from MaddHealthy and she just like truly changed my life!”

Super grateful and it’s totally worth it!
“It's been about four months since I worked with Maddie for her one-on-one health coaching program, and it is still to this day the best investment that I have ever made for myself, for my health, and for the long. When I first started working with Maddie, I was having a lot of unexplained gut issues.
Doesn't matter what I ate, my body was not happy with it. I was tired. I just didn't feel right in my own skin. And I was going ham in the gym trying to compensate. I just knew something was wrong, but I didn't know what, so I turned to Maddie and she was the only one that's been able to get to the root of a lot of.
Turns out I had SIBO on top of celiac disease, which I already knew, but I was not necessarily treating my body in the way that I was supposed to. I wasn't eating the right things. I wasn't fueling my body correctly. I wasn't listening, and that's something that Maddie has given me. The ability to adjust my body accordingly, using a toolkit of resources by just listening to what was going on and what I was.
That's something that's invaluable. Our body is always changing, so there's never gonna be a magic pill, a magic diet, a magic workout regimen that's going to be able to suit your body for all different stages of life. It's just not gonna happen. But knowledge and the ability to understand what you can do and why it's happening.
That's something that will last you a lifetime. So I'm extremely grateful for Maddie and for the knowledge that she has helped me obtain and for the ability to figure out the root of what was going on and the why. Super, super grateful and it's totally worth it. Thanks, Maddie.”
