TESTIMONIALS
One month in:
Here's what I want you to know about Whole after one month in – it's not a quick fix program with the goal of losing weight, which is what every other program I have tried boils down to.
Weeks one through four were small steps – little changes that continued to build on each other. I realized how deeply ingrained my thought patterns were and that they permeate all four pillars of the Whole. This course actually drills down into the WHYs. It has helped me deconstruct my relationship with my body, my mind, and my soul – every piece of me. It is helping me gut this dilapidated house I have been living in - tearing it down to the very studs.
Through this process, I am recognizing what I want, what I need, how I feel, and nourishing these things. I am rebuilding a new house – still imperfect – but where I can feel perfectly at home. I have a long way to go. I am still in the process of gutting the basement. But I can see the blueprints, I am making adjustments, and I am investing in materials.
Two months in:
Life changing! You have helped me dig into so many things I have buried and helped me recover who I truly am and highlight who I want to become. You have challenged my thinking, my relationships with food and my body, and guided me through the whole journey with love and light.
Month two has been intense and eye opening. I have had several breakthroughs that have helped me dig deeper into the cause of my behaviors and choices. It has been challenging and I have had to fight the instincts to revert to old destructive behaviors. I know I have a long way to go but I am using the tools I have learned to make different choices!
Three months in:
I’ve achieved a sense of calm and power - learning that I have control over my body, mind, and attitude.
I am loved. I am held. I am worthy.

Whole is an amazing program that so many women need. What Sarah has to offer is rare and it works.
When I came to Whole, I was in a deep, sad hole. I had gotten to a place in my life where I had no confidence that I would ever be able to take good care of myself again. All of the tactics I had used before—dieting, training for some triathlon, or just a stern inner voice spanking—not only did not appeal to me in any way, I also knew they wouldn’t work. I was depressed, scared, heavy (literally and figuratively), my marriage was stretched, my kids still needed me, my friend was terminally sick, and I didn’t know where or how to ask for help. Giving up and going forward were equally scary options.
I was skeptical to try Whole, especially because it felt like an investment of time and money I wasn’t sure I had (or “should” spend that way), but deep down I knew I needed something to change and I could not muster that change by myself.
I really needed to change my thinking and I needed someone kind, honest, positive and smart on my team, and that someone was Sarah.
In Whole there was such a variety of things to try—some were super hard and some felt really easy. I liked that some things took hold fast and I could see instant progress and I liked that some things were hard and I had a couple of chances for do-overs.
I was surprised when things started to click. I was surprised that by just trying one thing for a week it could actually take hold.
Learning how not to rush turning out to be such a pleasure. Being overwhelmed has ruined almost everything I was doing, even the stuff I actually liked doing. Learning not to rush has helped me enjoy the best parts of my life again.
Having the tools and practice to feel hopeful and confident again makes me very happy. I’m more grateful than you know.

I loved everything about the Whole program. I learned a lot and am integrating so much of that learning into my everyday life. I learned how to eat intuitively and be a partner to my body. So many diet programs taught me that I could not trust my body and didn't know what was best for myself. Whole gave me that power back! I do know what's good for me. All I have to do is listen!
My biggest “aha” moment was when I realized that wellness had nothing to do with weight. Sarah taught me that true wellness is taking care of the whole self.
And, as much as I loved myself before, I love myself on a whole new level in a whole new way now. This has been life changing. I have made so much peace with my body. It is a beautiful place to be in, and I am guarding it fiercely.

There are no words to describe how much I have loved and appreciated my time with Sarah and her unique and revolutionary Whole program. I am beyond happy that I took the leap financially. Sarah and Whole are worth every penny and then some. I feel like I am on a new path of wellness and wellbeing, which I was unaware existed before. I feel that I have a new outlook and different mindset around health and wellbeing. She has given me tools that I will continue to carry with me for the rest of my life.
Sarah takes you through 4 pillars; love, calm, nurish, and movement. The weekly challenges are manageable, thought provoking and transformational. I loved how as time went on I was able to notice how all of the pillars relate to each other and how they fit so well together to form Whole. Sarah has developed such a revolutionary, holistic program.
I feel so fortunate that I had the opportunity to complete the program. Sarah creates such a safe and supportive space to learn and to discuss the challenges and important topics that come up. Sarah asks thought-provoking questions and often adapted discussions and workouts to meet every individual where they are in their journey.
I think everyone would benefit from this program! It is time that we all start believing in ourselves and loving ourselves for the unique people that we are. Sarah's program and her support have opened my eyes to the fact that I am worthy and whole as I am. You are worthy as well! I dream that women all over the world start waking up to their worthiness. I believe that with Sarah's Whole: A Formula For Wellbeing, more women will start realizing their worthiness. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah's Whole: A Formula for Wellbeing!

Here’s what I want to say to you - You are 100% worthy of care right now, right as you are. If you doubt that even in the slightest or don't know where to begin, this program is for you.
I’ll admit, it was scary to pay what felt like a lot of money upfront. Then I did the math I realized that it was actually a steal for everything I was getting. Now after having completed it I realized it was 100% worth every penny.
The way Sarah puts the program together in an accessible way makes a big difference in how easy it can be to incorporate into your life. The program was broken down into small manageable steps so I could build the habits gradually over time. Then all of the learning builds upon itself from week to week and also within each module.
The weekly scheduled appointments were a way of making me stay connected and accountable but in a gentle, positive way. The consistent 1:1 contact with Sarah made me more inclined to think about the learnings outside of listening to the module and try to do the work. Plus, Sarah Turino is real. Her connection is real. I feel like she really "saw" me. That's what made this program so special.
Before the course I felt stuck. Intellectually I wanted to improve my situation but I was so stuck I didn't know where to begin. I put others needs before my own. I didn't seek out activities that were good for me. I over indulged in my "fun buttons" like chocolate and wine. Now I have more equanimity in how I approach my life. I'm more aware of how and what I choose to eat and move, and more focused on calming and caring for myself. I think it's making me a better parent, partner and human.

I would recommend this program as a great way to support and improve patterns in all areas of wellness - physical, mental, intellectual.
This course gently invites you to dig a little bit deeper, and then a little more. Sarah can see your inner beauty and power and help you see and feel that too with such tenderness.
I have a hard time investing in myself. The cost and time was a concern - would I really put energy into this? Would I waste my time/money or Sarah’s time? DO IT. You won’t regret it.

I was initially nervous to do the program (and spend the money!), but am so glad I did. What makes this program different is that the work is not about hitting a milestone or checking a box; instead, you reflect on yourself. I cannot point to x pounds lost or y strength gained, because that’s not the point. I’m more comfortable and supportive of the body I have. And I want to nurture that.
