Anca Vereen

I recently completed the 8-week Optimise Me program with Anca and it was a truly transformational experience. I was very impressed by her holistic and thorough approach to understanding my lifestyle and what needs to change to help me achieve my goals. She leaves no stone unturned. Some of the many benefits I achieved with this program: achieved my weight loss goal (8-9kg in 8 weeks), improved energy and sleep, healthier skin, nails and hair, lower stress levels, and being so much more educated and conscious of nutrition, balance and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Anca worked with me to ensure the lifestyle changes are doable and sustainable for me. I'm delighted that I've managed to maintain my new weight and routines months later, and I intend to live by these new principles for life as I've never felt better. Anca is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about her work - she puts in a lot of effort to help you. She is honest and will tell you what needs to change. If you're willing to commit to doing the work at your end and you're open to challenging your preconceptions and beliefs, she will absolutely help you achieve a healthier lifestyle. This was one of the best investments I've ever made.

I completed assessments and sessions with Anca to receive some help in relation to my health. The process started off positive, however ended prematurely, with a feeling of my time being wasted, poor return for my money and having no definitive results.In fact, it has worsened my health as the many supplements and products recommended were given without any formal medical consultation, including blood tests. In my disappointment, I gained a second opinion from a medically qualified Gastroenterologist which confirmed the harm these supplements were providing.Furthermore, her claim that I would receive a Medicare rebate was incorrect, and given the circumstances, felt like false advertising. Anca explained at a later date that it is more complex and not everyone necessarily receives this rebate, but she would not assist in this process.Moreover, the second session felt generic rather than individualised, almost like using a template. I felt very talked to rather than collaborating to build a plan that works for me. In addition, she turned up almost 20min late, which she defended that this is common practice similar to when you see a doctor. However this session was online and I had not received any notification of her being late.Overall I was hopeful to work with Anca butsadly , I cannot recommend to work with Anca , as in my case and many others ( see google reviews) Anca leaves one with a very disappointing outcome, a waste of money and potential long term harm to my health if I continued her recommendations.

I first worked with Anca about 6 years ago, she helped me to build my dietary and nutrition fundamentals and awareness, not only did I lose weight but also controlled my PCOS. Recently I had an ultrasound and was told that there was no sign of PCOS anymore! This time working with Anca has been another level of experience, with body mind spirit integrated at one-stop shop. It's way more than just dietary and nutrition. And I love the cool stuff she recommends. Thank you Anca!

My husband and I started our 'health' journey with Anca the beggining of this year. We wanted a holistic approach to general health and wellbeing along with diet and exercise. Anca is not just a dietician, she is also a pyschologist and this aspect is really a unique and exciting proposition for us. Rather than just go down the path of what you can and cannot eat, we explored some of the reasons why our behaviour manifests with our relationship with food. After 3 months we have developed great strategies and have the tools to really change our eating habits for the long term. The added benefit is that my husband has lost 10kgs and I have lost 7kgs. We feel great and ready to tackle life's challenge ahead, knowing we are healthier and eating well. Thanks so much Anca!

I have been seeing Anca since a couple of months,I believe she happened in my life for a reason.I was going through a extremely stressful period of my life and even though I'm still not out yet,I'm building the foundation for a much more authentic,stable, healthy and happy me and Anca helped me guide me through this journey in so many different levels,mind,body and spirit.She really made a huge different in my life, helped me get grounded and gave me tools to go deeper into my heart and my intuition, I'm so grateful that I have her support through this rough patch.It's so important to take care of ourselves from every level, everything starts from within and Anca is an amazing mentor that knows exactly how to uniquely help you to get to the best version of yourself,the sound therapy is revolutionary for cleaning and opening up your chakra and removing stuck energy caused by traumas and Anca really is extraordinary in doing that too.She really give 100% of herself to her clients, she is knowledgeable and passionate.If you are looking for someone to help you through your journey don't look any further,Anca is the one!Elena

Anca has been a gem in helping me with my health journey. Her approach to weight loss is holistic which I never realised I needed. I initially came in to get help on my weight loss journey thinking it was only about nutrition. But what I've learnt alongside is invaluable and gives me trust that I will be on top of my weight and health in the years to come. I highly recommend Anca if you are looking for an informed approach to your weight loss goals with lasting results.

Anca really help to to step up my gain in terms of health and general wellbeing. Beside the weight loss, that is been ongoing since October, I chang several aspects of my daily life and I see tremendous benefits. Definitely recommend if you looking to deeply improve your wellbeing and not just lose weight! Thanks Anca!!

Anca’s advice has lead to me overall feeling better. Not only did I lose 8kgs of fat but my back, knee and finger joints no longer hurt due to my clean diet, I am sleeping better and am feeling so much better within myself. I am over 50 and my body feels great. I would highly recommend Anca to anyone looking for a holistic approach to great health.

I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in early October 2022. I first started seeing Anca in mid-October.We went through a process of first putting me on a diet that does not flare up UC as well as foods that are wholesome and have anti-inflammatory properties. We then moved to providing my body the supplements it needs. We then moved on to the mental side practicing mindfulness and breathing techniques. Lastly, we moved on to the physical side ensuring the right level of exercise was being achieved along with articulation stretches. Anca takes a full wholesome approach when it comes to looking after your body.On this journey with Anca I have achieved fantastic results, I can confidently say that my guts are feeling the best they ever have. Since seeing Anca I have had 2 check-ups with my gastroenterologist were an ultrasound of my gut was completed, they were impressed as the scans showed no active signs of UC.I am not saying I am healed of UC as it is a chronic disease however due to the changes I have made with Anca my guts are currently in good shape. Thank-you Anca.

I saw Anca initially to understand my nutrition requirements and obtain a meal plan. Anca was incredibly thorough in asking all sorts of questions and asking about my diet and health history. Once I started on my meal plan, I started feeling more energised, lighter and less anxious straight away. I now feel like I have the tools to better manage my weight, mood and I am much better at recognising changes in my body related to what I have eaten. Later sessions with Anca had a focus on mood, mindfulness and way of thinking. As someone who has at times been a 'glass half full' type of person, I definitely benefitted from this as well. 100% recommend a consultation with Anca if you want to optimise any aspect of your life, but particularly, cut through all the mixed messages about what you should and shouldn't eat. Thank you Anca!!!
