Client Reviews
"Best coaching/support system. Priscilla is great at showing the win in every week, setting up realistic goals, and providing research supported techniques. With her guidance, I set up routine that will last me a very long time. I can only recommend signing up to her program. She is a 10 out 10!"
"Priscilla is wonderful! She has helped me immensely with migraine management and overall health. She knows her stuff, and is very easy to work with. I recommend working with her if you are serious about improving your quality of life!"
"Priscilla is a great cheerleader to have in your corner to help conquer health goals. I am sleeping better and feel good in my clothes. I love that I feel in sync with making healthier choices and moving my body. Historically, I struggle with this, always doing one or the other. I have found a great balance and can treat myself and hop right back into the rhythm of fuel for my body with movement. I feel I have formed a habit rather than a fad that will fade away! I also appreciated that she customized what works for my lifestyle as a busy mom of 3. She gave me the tools I specifically needed to meet my goals."
"Priscilla changed my life with her expert coaching and online support. Gratitude for all you have done to support my changes."
"My pants are fitting so much better. The button on my pants isn’t screaming for relief constantly. My energy is so much higher on average than it was 2-3 years ago. 10 times increase in focus and productivity in my life."
"I was overweight with increasingly poor health markers, but struggled to be consistent about better choices in diet and exercise. I would eat fairly well for a week or two but then revert to old patterns. Any exercise seemed beyond me. In the last year, I noticed that I was losing hair at an alarming rate, which I attributed to something lacking in my diet. Just prior to contacting WIB, I was trying to eat mostly nutrient-dense food, but I was inconsistent. Now, my ability to climb the stairs improved dramatically when I stopped eating wheat. Most days I can walk up to 5 miles without difficulty, and quite easily if I break it into two or three shorter walks. Most days, I feel amazing. I have more energy and never have that afternoon crash. I enjoy everything I eat and getting outside every day."
"Sleep is great, and my energy has improved. I’m most proud of understanding what I should be doing to benefit my health in the future by maintaining small wins every day. I feel like I understand my body more. The education I received was priceless. Priscilla is so encouraging that I felt my mental wellness increase, as well. She will work with you, so just reach out and start!!"
"My health before joining the Wellness in Bloom community was average at best. I wasn't thinking about how much sugar I consumed, or I would skip meals sometimes, and think that it was ok. I thought that these habits were fine because I did eat vegetables and fruits and was mindful of my carb intake. I also snacked a lot after work. I have learned to balance movement and what type of movement is best for me. I have also learned a lot of ways to relieve stress and anxiety. Priscilla has helped me in so many ways, and I know that if I continue to follow her guidance, I will meet my goals and then some!"
"Priscilla Grace Barnes with Wellness in Bloom is the best nutrition and fitness coach I could have ever asked for. Using foundational techniques, education, and sustainable habits, she taught me how to be my best self - both physically and mentally. Since I reached my goal weight over 4 months ago, I've been able to keep it off and still enjoy a lifestyle that is balanced. I also am able to have meals or days where I'm not exactly perfect, but I know what needs to be done to get right back on track. I'm so very grateful for all she taught me and her continued support in my journey. I would recommend her to anyone looking to expand and build upon their overall health and wellness."
"Before working with Wellness in Bloom, my health was not good. I was always so tired, major brain fog and aches and pains were the norm for me. I didn't understand what was happening in my body or what I needed. There were many days spent in bed because simple movement was painful. I'd tell every doctor I'd see about my "achy bones" that they would order tests, and they would come back normal. Never really got answers and dealt with it the best I could. Now, I have more energy, little to no aches, and my brain fog is no longer an issue. My sleep is better quality. I'm able to pursue my passion without getting exhausted. It's amazing. When you have someone, like Priscilla, who is giving you one-on-one guidance with nursing, nutrition, and personal training experience, you are bound to improve your well-being. The investment in yourself is worth it."
"Before working with Wellness in Bloom, I was anxious about my health and about food and eating. I’d been exposed to mold and had already been through some detox and was still having worrisome symptoms. I’d been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder since the exposure. I was tired and burnt out from a stringent regimen of supplements and from attempting to fashion the perfect diet to strengthen my body’s ability to fight off toxins and stay healthy in the face of the onslaught of diseases so prevalent now, such as flu and covid. Priscilla offered me testing and accompaniment on my journey in a way that got me to understand the actions that would lead to the best results, the toxins still inside me, and the specific nutrients I needed more of. I was able to slowly detox by getting rid of the main sources of continued poisoning. I learned to balance my electrolytes and blood sugar, and stress as well, all of which were instrumental in my recovery. Making a 6-month commitment of time and resources has truly been the best money and time I’ve spent. No more indecision and no more anxious nights worrying about whether I am doing the right things for myself; I feel freer and happier. Thanks to Priscilla and Wellness in Bloom."
"My outlook on nutrition and what my body needs to feel good and function is completely different from before I started working with Wellness in Bloom. My current and future self is incredibly relieved that I found Priscilla when I did and have started getting my body to a place where it will thrive."
"If you have any blood sugar and weight issues, this is the most helpful resource for success. It has been the most informative out of all the resources I have tried."
“Working with Priscilla has been life changing—literally! In addition to helping me correct my diet, habits, and lifestyle based on my HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) results, she has helped me navigate the medical world, request and understand lab work, and so much more. I had a miscarriage and couldn’t get any type of answers or reasoning from my doctor. Through working with Priscilla, we learned that I have low progesterone, which is needed to carry to full term. She also encouraged lab work to find out if I’m a carrier of the MTHFR gene mutation, which heavily impacts pregnancy. She has helped me get answers and get to the bottom of the cause, which has brought hope for future pregnancies. Priscilla is a true gem!!”
"I originally felt a little overwhelmed with how to navigate exercise and food choices. I still needed to drop a few more pounds and get more energy and more sleep. Now I have much more energy, my sleep is improving, and I am able to make confident choices in food and be consistent with exercise. I’m super proud of creating confidence—and consistency."
“For more than 20 years, I’ve worked to refine my diet—sometimes with the goal of losing weight or eating more cleanly. The stress and burden was no longer desired. I needed what was best for me so that I could be successful. Now, after working with Priscilla, my energy is greater and my stress about food is less. I still make good choices but have learned to have grace. My gut seems to be healing. I am getting stronger! The hair analysis (HTMA) opened my eyes more to the nutrients that my body actually needs. I feel motivated to continue. Thank you, Priscilla, for your slow plan and guidance that will ultimately work best for me. I appreciate your care.”
“Through Wellness in Bloom, I did a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA). It showed what minerals my body needed. Priscilla gave me a customized nutritional plan, and she took the time to walk me through it and answered all my questions. I’ve been working with her for four months, and I feel much more energized, relaxed, and able to sleep through the night. I would highly recommend working with Priscilla. She’s been so encouraging and easy to work with.”
“Before working with Priscilla, I was in a bit of a funk. I had just turned 71 and was having a hard time imagining an active lifestyle ahead in my future. I had bought into all the myths about aging, and the worst thing was that I was afraid my memory was at risk due to my age. Priscilla listened carefully to my concerns and shared some of her deep wisdom about what is required to live in a healthy way at any age. I was not an easy case, as I have a rather uncontrolled case of Type Two Diabetes, as well as coronary artery disease and some failing kidney function. The first thing Priscilla did was make me feel heard, and we talked about how fear can adversely affect my health. She helped me come up with an action plan that included stress management, balancing my sugar and insulin levels, and daily exercise. She helped me stop feeling helpless and was always ready with new ideas when I felt discouraged. Every week she would help me refocus on the many positive changes I had made and help me to look at the big picture. She promised no miracles, only progress, and I still have to deal with my health challenges every day — but now I have tools and a much bigger understanding of the little steps that add up to a healthy lifestyle. Thank you, Priscilla!”
"About a year and a half ago, my family didn’t know what to do about my mother's rapidly declining health. She was falling daily and could barely hold herself upright to sit. We put some things in place to help her, but they were bandages on her overall lack of health. The biggest changes have happened since my mother started seeing Priscilla with Wellness in Bloom last July. This week, my mother took a relatively substantial walk outside and had a full-body workout. It’s something I hadn’t thought possible just a short time ago. Priscilla is patient and kind, but also seems to know just the right way to gently push a little more to actually achieve results. She can accomplish more than entire teams of physical therapists have tried to achieve. She is well-versed in multiple areas of health care to be able to provide comprehensive guidance. She can present the information in a way that is concise and easy for my mother to understand. She even keeps me updated after visits with progress and possible concerns as needed. Most importantly, she helped bring my mother back to us all. Once again, I see the powerful force of nature that raised me, even if a little muted. Choosing Wellness in Bloom is one of the most positive experiences you can have in taking charge of your health and well-being."
"I’m proud that I’m losing about a pound a week and my waist is slowly getting smaller. I feel stronger and happy that losing weight doesn’t mean I have to starve myself!"
"Sometimes you just need someone to help you right the ship! I thought I knew a lot about taking care of myself. Nutrition, etc. but Priscilla helped put some things in perspective and has helped me on my journey. I’m feeling so much better in many different ways."
"I reached out to Priscilla because I wanted to gain confidence in my food choices, be bolder to branch out, and have accountability to help increase movement. The greatest improvements have been that I am eating a wide variety of foods and focusing on the fiber. I have increased my fruit intake without negatively affecting my blood sugar/insulin needs. As a Type 1 Diabetic, I found myself eating the same things every day because it was easier to maintain levels. Now I have gained the confidence to try new foods, and I feel the benefits of adding strength to my cardio. Thank you so much! I really learned a lot not just about nutrition and fitness, but myself as well!"
"This program teaches you about balance! It’s not crazy impossible with killing yourself in a gym or not be able to eat your favorite foods. Balancing insulin is key. It was an eye-opener for me, and I would definitely recommend it to others struggling in their own skin. My energy has gone up, I feel stronger, my sleep still needs improving, but I’ve really just begun on this journey, and I’m looking forward to seeing what my body can do."
"Wellness in Bloom is perfect for anyone who is seeking professional health information paired with a program that is tailored to your personal needs. Priscilla is a triple threat with her education and qualifications! But also the positive, gentle, and uplifting nature of Wellness in Bloom is unlike any fitness program I've ever experienced. My energy is definitely higher. My sleep is better, and I wake up without aches."
"I worked with Priscilla for a short time, but the impact was huge. She helped me reframe how I see stress on my body, especially the effects of under-eating and navigating the menopausal middle after years of good health. What stood out most was her combination of empathy, encouragement, and evidence-based insight. She listened carefully, validated my experiences, and offered thoughtful strategies that were realistic and personalized. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and insightful health coach."
"Investing in your health is the greatest gift you can give yourself. Prior to Wellness in Bloom, I would see a doctor for ailments and follow their recommendations or leave without any resolution. Now, I know that I have options that don't require medicine or surgery to feel my best. Choosing Wellness in Bloom has completely changed my life for the better! I am so grateful for all the positive health changes I am experiencing from this program. Priscilla is an amazing communicator. She makes you feel heard without judging. She celebrates the small wins that lead to the greatest victories."
"Overall, I think I am setting my future self up for success by focusing on these new goals and the overall mindset shift. The overall mindset shift has been a huge win. My energy, hunger, and sleep have all improved. Overall, I have set my future self up for success by focusing on these new goals and having a mindset shift."
"Before working with Priscilla, I was out of shape, overweight, and carrying around a very negative self-image. I knew I needed her help if I was going to get back into shape. My health & wellness have never been better than they are today. I am most proud of shedding over twenty pounds. Clothes fit better, and my self-image has dramatically improved. The strength-training workouts have helped to sculpt my body in a way that leaves me feeling so proud when I look in the mirror, and the physical strength that I have gained is on display when I am able to lift and easily carry my five-year-old son."
"A friend in the gym the other day said, 'Casey, I don’t know what you are doing, but it’s working!' I’m most proud of getting in tune with how much I really need to be eating to gain the muscle I want. My plantar fasciitis pain has gone from an 8 out of 10, to a 2!"
"I’ve lost 7 inches in my waist! After working with a trainer in the past that left me devastated, this has given me hope to get back on target. I have a positive frame of mind. I’m moving more, and I’m proud of the adjustments I’ve made in my eating - now I eat in a way that is satisfying."
"I am most proud of the mindset adjustments I have made. You have shown me that I am capable of anything I put my mind to. I have made so many changes to my diet and incorporated movement back into my life."
"I used to think I needed to eat less. But now my clothes fit great, my energy is way up, and my sleep is really good, and I’m eating more. I now have an understanding of how nutrition and minerals affect my thyroid health; there’s more to it than just taking medicine."
"Energy is up in the morning, I don’t have a slump in the morning anymore. My jeans are fitting better. I stopped Ozempic because of bad side effects, but I’m still seeing success without it. What I’m doing feels very sustainable."
"My energy is way up, the stomach pains are way down to non-existent, and now I have much more deep dream state sleep!"
"I’m most proud of finding a sustainable way to maintain my vegetarian/pescatarian lifestyle, and to avoid being a carbotarian. Now, when choosing what to eat, I know I’m making the right choices. My energy and sleep have improved, and I now have habits in place to prioritize protein, and I know the right go-to snacks for me."
"My blood pressure is now in a normal range, and my hemoglobin A1c went from 7% to 5.7%, and I’ve lost 9 pounds!"
"I used to get so frustrated with myself when I wasn’t eating well or exercising. It was an endless cycle of failure. I now have a sense of peace. I knew I was frustrated, and it was depressing, and now I understand how much it was consuming me in a negative way. Being successful with health and wellness has had this weird effect on other things in my life where I believe I can accomplish everything. I feel like my whole outlook on life is more positive."
"I am most proud of accomplishing weight loss, having more energy, and lowering inflammation. Having more energy and feeling stronger is critical to continue to keep up with the grandkids and do things that make me feel healthy and capable."
"The food battle has been won! Haha that sounds so cheesy, but I feel like I've won with these tools that I've learned, and I'm excited to learn more. Freedom!:) I don't wake up groggy anymore, and I have energy throughout the day!! Waking up excited about the day with energy is a game-changer. Life-changing, really. Well-balanced meals keep me full until the next meal and eliminate sweet/junk food cravings!!"
"A mindshift. I talk nicer to myself, which in turn helps me reach my goals instead of dwelling on missed steps. I have more energy, more hunger, and better sleep! Priscilla has a gift, and every phone call, you will feel uplifted and ready to tackle your goals."
