It’s really hard to admit that this was me just 2 months ago! Well, the photo was actually taken back in February, 2020 right before we all got locked down, but when I met Tiff in June I had lost 10 pounds. Yes that’s right, I spent 60 days on another program of 2 shakes a day that tasted like chalk, I was famished and I lost just 10 pounds. I weighed in at 262 pounds. Honestly, I was angry that another expensive program failed for me that I was so sure was the answer. I was beginning to feel rather desperate. My knees were in chronic pain from arthritis, my sleep was poor and I just felt like I was never going to see my skinny clothes again. Then I met Tiff and she told me about her program. She assured me it wasn’t a quick fix and that I would be working closely with her to break through my limiting beliefs around weight loss. I would be eating very clean and would need to be strictly on the plan for the 40 day period. I thought, hmm, I can do anything for 40 days. So I gave it a shot.   We got to work and I couldn’t believe all the incredible information I learned about myself and what foods were actually not okay for my body type. I was actually eating many foods that did not work with my body. The refrigerator got a good clean out and I made a commitment to myself to go all in with this program. Tiff helped me to break through my limiting beliefs around my self worth through the use of self hypnosis. She taught me how to incorporate the practice into my daily routine and believe me, this was a game changer for me! I began preparing foods as instructed and soon eliminated all inflammatory type foods, eating only the foods on my preferred list. The supplements seemed to give me energy throughout the day and what I found as I was going through each week, was that I didn’t want to cheat. When I was 2 or 3 weeks into the plan, I told Tiff that I literally had no desire to cheat on the plan. Every other diet I had ever been on, I had cheated long before now and on this one, I was committed to myself and getting healthy. The pounds were falling off…literally! Each day I would get on the scale and the scale would get lower and lower. After working with Tiff, I completed my 40 day journey along with my reintroduction period successfully. To date, I have not cheated on this plan. I continue to eat clean, no inflammatory foods, no sugar, no caffeine, just vegetables, fruits and lean proteins along with healthy fats. I am satisfied and my body feels amazing! I have no arthritis pain. I am walking daily, 7 days a week, more than 10,000 steps a day with ease. I sleep well, and am active. I am fitting back into clothes I haven’t worn in years as I lost 40 pounds and 46.50 inches in 40 days! I am still practicing my self hypnosis daily and my life continues to grow and change in ways I never imagined! I am grateful for this journey and look forward to the next step and losing the remainder of my weight. Thank you Tiff for this amazing opportunity! Love, JillianChristy

Tiff has served as a non-profit leader, offering her generous spirit, devotion to creating a supportive work culture for her staff, and a clear drive for excellence in her work. Tiff has created an environment where wellness and work-life balance are a priority for everyone within the organization, promoting a genuine atmosphere where self-care and honoring people's whole humanness is at the center of how the organization operates. In her role as an executive leader, Tiff has weathered several significant organizational challenges and her resiliency has strengthened her own leadership presence and guided her team through tough situations with grace and clarity. Tiff has an ability to see the big picture and execute systems and strategic planning to bring people along with her as she moves work forward.

As the Executive Director of Literacy Trust, Tiffany was instrumental in bringing me on as the Academic Advisor for Reading Rescue. We have had a close working relationship for two years. What I enjoyed most about working with Tiffany was her ability to recognize strengths in the people who she works with, as well as in herself. She has an amazing capacity to delegate tasks and trust that her employees will do excellent work. This enables her employees to rise and even exceed expectations. She is a true leader in this regard- knowing when to lead vs. when to follow; knowing when to step up vs. when to step back to let others shine. In addition, she has an incredible mind for business and a keen eye for opportunity. What she was able to accomplish in the five years she was at Literacy Trust is quite remarkable. The strides that the organization made were due in large part to Tiffany's ability to foster the careers of young, eager employees by putting them in positions where they had the capacity to make decisions and fumble without failing. The combination of Tiffany's business acumen, her trust in her employees, and her high expectations of them enabled Literacy Trust to develop into a notable non-profit in New York City.

I first met Tiff in 2013 when I served as Reading Partners, Vice President. At that time, with her spirit of service and get things done mindset, I witnessed her launch and lead Reading Partners New York Region which continues to thrive today! I’ve known Tiff for over 7 years now in several capacities (as her manager, her colleague, her coach and eventually her friend and neighbor). One thing has been a constant - Tiffany is one of the most passionate and determined people I’ve ever met. Her kindness and commitment as a change agent keep me squarely in her corner. When I recently learned about Tiffany’s newest venture, I knew this too would flourish just as everything else she has touched.
