"I went to group today with Julie Ponder and it was a breath of fresh air!! She knows exactly the struggles we all have and is amazing about talking about emotional and behavioral eating"!
"I highly recommend this group. I started 3 weeks ago with going to group and I now look forward to it every week".
"The groups are very helpful! Julie is very knowledgeable and great at what she does! I found support and friendships from those groups".
"I’m so thankful for Julie and Sonya. This whole experience has made me a better person. I can’t tell them enough how much I appreciate them. I will be going to group in February. I think it will help me stay focused and will give me the motivation that I need to get into phase 2. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for being there for me and caring as much as you do"!
"I have seen multiple counselors in my life and she is the absolute best! I have never felt more at ease with a counselor before or made so much progress with my mental health".
"Thank you, Julie, Sonya, and the entire group for all of the enlightening discussions and supportive environment. I’m not sure how anyone that has struggled with years of battling the disease of obesity can truly manage it without addressing the behavioral and emotional components. If you have the chance, find a way to work with Julie".
