From Participants of 1-1 Coaching
Albany, NY
With coaching support and input, I really know for the first time in my life that I can and will achieve any goals that I set for myself. Step by step I’m becoming healthier and happier. Having a coach has made all the difference in the world to me. Thanks Dr. Basaria!
Addison, TX
My top three goals upon starting the 6-month program were 1) To get an understanding of the root cause of my addiction to sugar, resulting in weight loss, being happier with clothes fitting. 2) Begin a regular practice of meditation, 5 to 7 days per week to help with anxiety and 3) Determine steps to be more organized financially, at home and physically.
Dr. Basaria was able to help me work toward these goals by giving me specific steps to achieve these. For example, she taught me a 4-step meditation. It made it more structured for me, which worked better. She talked to me about healthier things to eat. Dr. Basaria gave me specifics and sent me encouragement from time to time. She also sent helpful graphics and videos. She asked me to commit to take baby steps to achieve goals. I made a commitment and kept my promise. It made it easier to “eat this elephant” in front of me. “One bite at a time!”
Some tangible changes I have noticed since beginning the program has been that my cravings for bad food are better. Not completely gone, but Dr. Basaria told me to expect times (< 10%) where I am not following my plan. She said we are human, so there is no judgment. I feel less pressure, when those times occur. My mobility is better. I had some physical challenges to overcome and she helped me work through that to focus on things I could change. My anxiety is much better. I’m not sure why, if it’s the meditation, the activity or what. It doesn’t matter. I sleep better. I have a better attitude….that’s all that matters.
The most significant overall change I have noticed has been that my sleep is so much better. With that, I think my health is better as well as my attitude. I think when we get into a rut, where good sleep is lacking, everything goes wonky. Her suggestion for me to meditate before bed was a game changer as far as me getting to and staying asleep.
I would describe Dr. Basaria as someone who is very understanding. During these months, I had some very unusual life changes that threw me off course. She helped me and focused on what I was going through. My goals were secondary at that moment. I think she saw that nothing would be accomplished if we didn’t deal with the crisis at hand. It was very helpful. We had some close family member(s) that passed away. She helped me see death in a different way and that discussion was very beneficial. Then we went back to my goals.
Another thing that I appreciated was her way to alleviate pressure I felt when things didn’t go the way I wanted. She would talk to me about why that happened and how to handle it in the future. I felt at those times she was very intuitive.
I would recommend Dr. Basaria to anyone who is willing to make changes in their lives. To do this you must be ready to commit and understand why habits have been developed. With this understanding and her guidance, you can make a change. Dr. Basaria is very organized and available. She kept to our timeline and when either of us needed to change, she was understanding. She kept her commitments to our agreement. She is a consistent source of support and guidance. I plan to use her again in the future for other goals I have.

Dr. Basaria is amazing. She is passionate about her work and works with her clients at a pace that her clients dictate. I would recommend her to anybody looking to take the next step with their health goals, whether that is through diet, mindfulness, social interaction, etc. Dr. Basaria is extremely well educated, both formally and informally. I would argue she is at the forefront of understanding all the modern tools necessary for somebody to approach management of their health from a 360-degree perspective given all the challenges of staying healthy in the modern world.

Dr. Basaria is exceptional at uncovering the problems her clients are facing. I came to her feeling inadequate and confused but after only a few sessions, not only was I able to make a concrete plan of action for my self moving forward but also how to implement it in my life taking one step at a time. Dr. Basaria was with me every step of the way. She helped me create a visual of how I was feeling in different areas of my life and explore the ones I wanted to win first. With her help, I created a plan of success for myself. Now all that I have learned with her, I am able to adjust my actions and modify my behavior for continued success. I would like to give my sincere thanks to Dr. Basaria for her wealth of knowledge and tremendous support she offers to her clients.

Dr. Basaria is an amazing coach: thoughtful, professional, and compassionate. I started our sessions with the goal to loose weight, implement some healthy habits, and begin eating more mindfully. Little did I know that the work would go so much deeper. She asked questions that really helped me get to the core of what was holding me back from achieving my health goals. After each session she would send me an update of the session and a reminder about what I committed to work on until the next time we met. She is so thorough and good at what she does. Her thoroughness coupled with her keen insights and thoughtful questions really helped me to change my life on a deep level. Not only have I been able to maintain the healthy habits I developed while working with her, but I have also seen some major shifts in my relationships and personal life. If you are looking to improve the quality of your health – and your life – Dr. Basaria is a wonderful guide who will use her knowledge, skill, and compassion to help you create a body and life you love.
