SOME MIND OVER BODY success stories
Jackie Dedekind (Weight Loss 14kg / 36cm)
” My journey started in April 2021 when I jumped on my scale and realized that this is the heaviest I have ever been. I thought I was eating “healthy” and I exercised 5 times a week, but the numbers just kept increasing. I knew I had to be doing something wrong and that I needed help. That’s when I started with Debbie. She made me realize that what I was eating was my problem and exercising wasn’t going to get me to lose weight. Her weekly coaching gave me the strength and accountability needed to stick to my plan. I learnt that weight loss isn’t about starving yourself, but rather about eating the right things 90% of the time and to satisfy those cravings with the right choices to follow the rules. I feel a lot more energetic, confident and healthy. This will definitely be my new lifestyle! “

CAITLIN RABIE (Weight Loss)
“I had a wish and Debbie made it come true. I wanted to lose weight and she made it possible.
For 26 yrs of my life, I never struggled with weight. I was petite and could eat whatever I wanted, how ever much I wanted. Even during pregnancy, I was fortunate to not gain any excess weight. But when I started breast feeding, that’s when the kilos started to pile on and unfortunately just continued to increase after.
I started seeing Debbie at the end of 2019. Her approach is not just some diet that gets given, but instead she guides you step by step to change your lifestyle. A reasonable, manageable and enjoyable lifestyle. I can still eat chocolate, I can still have a drink, I can still go eat at restaurants and not feel left out because I’m on a “diet”. It’s the advice and little changes Debbie suggests, that make it work.
Thanks to Debbie for her continuous support, empathy and motivation, I have lost 16kg and I feel amazing!!! And the best part of it all, I can continue this new way of living and still enjoy life and eat yummy food. Thank you Debbie! “

Ruth Stubbs (Weight Loss - 11kg/37cm)
“I started my weight loss program with Debbie in July 2018. Due to an unhealthy relationship with food and associated bad eating habits I was finding it increasingly difficult to lose weight again. The initial plan was to lose 3 to 4 kilograms and a year later I have lost 11 kilograms in 37 centimeters and continue to maintain my goal weight. What I have valued is Debbie’s non-judgmental approach and her kind and caring ways. Debbie has throughout my weight loss, shown sincere empathy and understanding and has through this encouraged and motivated me to adopt a much improved, healthy eating regimen which has had far reaching, positive effects on my life. My transformation to a healthier lifestyle has been a true reflection of “mind over body”. A heartfelt thank you and much gratitude to Debbie who has in all honesty changed my life.”

Jenny Pohl (WEIGHT LOSS)
“I am now more than ever convinced that one can improve one’s physical and mental health by making use of Debbie’s Mind Over Body approach, whereby one adopts a healthy lifestyle that involves pre-determined good eating habits which require eating the correct food at the correct times. I have shown this is definitely achievable if one sets one’s mind to do so. With the results, I now regularly receive compliments regarding my slim and trim figure and my overall youthful appearance at the age of 73 years. This is all thanks to Debbie and her amazing way of encouraging and monitoring one’s progress. Debbie and her programme are absolutely incredible”

BEATE COETZEE (Life Coaching)
“At the end of 2020, I felt depressed, overweight, without energy and completely demotivated to do anything …I couldn’t even help myself. My doctor referred me to Debbie from Mind Over Body.
I spoke to her over the phone and could immediately hear what a positive, uplifting person she is. My husband and I agreed that this is something I have to do.
At the first visit in February 2021, I realized, she was indeed this little bundle of energy and she immediately made me feel at ease. We discussed my goals and started with the process.
We worked through some issues that held me back from reaching my full potential. She taught me various techniques and tools to help me. Debbie also introduced me to doTERRA essential oils. I started using them and could see the difference it was making in my life. So much so, that by the end of 2022, I had the self confidence and drive, to get involved in the oil business as a wellness advocate.
Within a year, I grew as a person, I gained confidence, I felt better in my own skin, I felt content. My depression was under control. I am still working on my weight, but I will get there. Thank you Debbie!”

Charanez Kirk (Life Coaching)
“When I met Debbie, I had just been through the worst year of my life. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019 at the age of 34 and after multiple surgeries, 6 months of chemo and radiation and more treatments, I was desperate for a drastic change in my life. Having survived and being grateful for that, I could not feel anything other than fear of what my life could’ve been. It numbed me to my core.
Just meeting Debbie and being in her positive company was already a step in the right direction for me. She taught me how to process my fear, but not let it debilitate my life. How to feel overwhelmed, but not let it spill over. Also how to set good boundaries for friends, family and just that it’s okay to focus on yourself as that is the best investment in our future. I felt past trauma, anxiety and sadness and let it go, I stepped into the light of my life and will never look back again. I highly recommend Debbie as a life coach, she will pull you out of the now and show you all the potential we all have within ourselves. I am grateful she was sent to me at the right time of my life and I am who I always wanted to be. Thank you Debbie, you have forever changed me!“

didn’t know needed healing and helped me

version of myself.“

Ruth Stubbs (Life Coaching)
“First and foremost I would like to compliment you on the manner and the approach you have implemented throughout each and every session. Your calm, reassuring manner has motivated and inspired me and your sincerity has further ensured a relationship of trust. Decisions I have made with you have been life-changing and have been instrumental in my transformation. The Bang Pattern was a truly amazing experience and the manner in which you used your voice ensured that the installation of new beliefs , attitudes and behaviors were effectively done. The Negative Emotional Belief therapy sessions we’re extremely effective and made a massive difference to my life. The sub-coding session which involved my dislike for tomatoes was incredible and if I had not experienced it first-hand would not have believed it. A heartfelt thank you for the fundamental part you have played in my transformation.”

Tanya Simpson (Life Coaching)
“I started my journey with Debbie in a very dark place in my life. I was suffering from depression , self-loathing and “life claustrophobia”. I was tired of feeling tired. I wanted my lovee of life and spark back. My initial starting point for this was weight loss , but I have gained so much more! My sessions and the self transformation techniques I was taught and guided through, supported me through an extremely trying and difficult year. I am in the apex of “my storm” armed with self love and coaching techniques to guide me through my challenges with a sense of positivity and gratitude. Thank you Debbie, I appreciate you more than you know!”

My journey with Debbie has been life changing. It has opened my eyes to a whole new way of seeing the world and myself. I have learned how to channel more positivity and energy into my life and therefore personally carve out the path I choose for myself. When you walk into Debbie’s therapy room, the calm of the room puts you at ease. Her energy and positivity is contagious. She never uses a negative word or phrase, a vital example to follow if you intend to make the changes you have come there for. In these sessions I have learned to challenge myself, to trust myself and most importantly to change myself to be the best version of myself I can be. I have learned to let go of a lot of negativity in my life and how to channel positive energy to pull me forward in my journey. Thank you Debbie for what you have taught me so far, I am excited about what is to come.
