About Olga
Growing up, I always struggled with my weight and had a hard time maintaining a healthy relationship with food that allowed me to live my life while staying at my ideal weight. I had successfully done every diet out there, but never really felt healthy until I started working at Nuviva in 2010. The other weight loss companies focused on major calorie deficits and unrealistic plans for long-term success. I wanted to coach because I knew I could help all my clients feel comfortable and succeed because I truly get it. I’ve been where they are and know how to make and keep lasting changes.
My Success Story
I’ve successfully lost over 50 pounds and have kept it off for over 10 years. I’m an avid runner, a fitness enthusiast, and love college football. I live and breathe the Nuviva lifestyle. I love this program and working with a team that are equally passionate, allowing me to continue to learn and grow. I absolutely love sharing my story and helping people and look forward to meeting and working with you.
