Having a weekly coach session has been the big point of difference where I have worked through changing my mindset, creating changes to building a sustainable healthier and positive lifestyle. Thank you!
———–
The weekly calls are really helping keep me on track and put me in the right direction to help me be more healthy in my day to day. The goal setting is great because it’s always done in a way that is sustainable. All of the resources are informative and help me plan my next step. The app keeps me on track because I use the food and water logging so I can see where I need to improve. I like to see everyone’s ideas and journeys on the Facebook group, I’ve yet to use any of those resources but I like that they’re easily accessible. I’d like to see time settings in the goal setting part of the app, but otherwise everything is working for me.
———–
So far, this journey has been fantastic. It’s been difficult for me to make changes in the past but I feel more and more that I’m making progress. I was unsure to start with. Can I really afford this? Probably not but I’m making every cent count. I needed to be accountable and this program is making all the difference. I’m more aware of my actions and my mind and feeling better every day. I’m understanding and managing my menopause symptoms more every day!
———–
My coach was always there to give me guidance, answer all my questions and I always felt like she really cared. It is amazing how much I learned from doing this program. It was definitely worth doing.
———–
My coach has been amazing, she has listened to me made suggestions and help me along the way, I needed feedback to know I’m on the right track, my mindset on healthy eating has improved, and still knowing I can enjoy some foods every now and then and thinking I’ve blown it and give up.
———–
My experience has been very positive right from the start. They are genuine about helping you to become a better & healthier version of yourself with tools & knowledge to continue the journey when you complete your time with them. I love the wholistic approach & focus on education to better understand how to live a more healthy life. The support given by the coaches & online platforms from other members is also terrific. Love the apps, community & recipe ideas – also the other video resources. Full marks for encouragement, positivity, information & support from my coach.
———–
One of the best decisions I have made in a long time. I have learned so much about food, nutrition and health. I’ve lost a bit of weight, I’m more active, feel a million times better and have not had a migraine since I started looking after myself better. The weekly chats with my dietitian are so good and the tracking app is fabulous. At the start it helps you and your dietitian to see what you are eating and also why. Are you hungry? Bored? Anxious? Habit eating? Your dietitian gives you feedback and helps you to improve your balance on the plate and suggests additions or subtractions for balance.
The program is about empowering you as a reasonable person to educate yourself by using the tools offered in the app., via the FB support group and videos and live chats etc.
I work full time so joining the live chats is not possible but I can watch them later if I choose to.
I have not felt this well in a very long time.
———–
My experience has been enjoyable thanks to My dietitian who is friendly, informative, helpful, and educational guidance and support. She has been clear and concise on the information and advice she has provided, making it easy to understand and follow. She has been great in the way she has answered any questions I’ve had. She has been encouraging in my weight loss journey, which has been much appreciated. My dietitian shows genuine interest in how I am and the progress I’m making. I’m very grateful for the advice, guidance and support I’ve received from my dietitian. It has definitely made my weightloss journey easier and more enjoyable.
———–
The Miyagi experience was interesting. I was hoping to lose the 10kg I have gained after a brush with breast cancer & a sport injury. Unhappily, I didn’t lose any weight at all. Also, the program confirmed that I am quite diet/nutrition savvy probably after losing around the same weight gain with weight watchers around 15 years ago. My initial blood test confirmed my good nutritional health status with not much to tweak. I thought the weekly call was as helpful and my dietician was helpful & kind. I think I may have done better if the goals we identified were more around weight loss rather than dietary habits. Since completing the program I reflect that I have made a few helpful tweaks around managing my cake/biscuit preference which is helpful and will be a good behaviour change going into my own, unsupported, weight loss plan that I am starting now.
———–
I particularly value the one on one time with my coach. I feel accountable to our process and love that each week I get to talk to the same person, who knows the journey I’ve been on. Another top aspect is the photo log of food, no weighing or counting! I don’t always get to it, but the process is growing on me, and I’m learning to separate emotions/moods from eating. I’m only 4 weeks in, but I’m still motivated, a great sign for the next few months!
———–
Having the Dietician to talk to every fortnight is fantastic and knowing that when our time is up I can still access the Healthy app for healthy recipes, information and use Facebook for support and information, too. So far, it’s been the best thing I have done.
———–
The program has been great for me. I went into it ready for change. My dietitian listened and help me develop sustainable changes. The initial screening was easy and helpful. I was able to claim dietitian sessions on my health fund.
———–
My experience has been great.it is just over halfway. I have learnt so much and most importantly is the support I have received ❤️ My Dietitian seems to know what I need and love seeing others on Facebook. One thing is you have to be truth to yourself and have fun.
Thanks for the support 🙏 🙌 ❤️
———–
Small steps….that was all I needed to do and of course rewire my brain to create new habits. The journey has only just begun as this is a life time journey im feeling alot better on the inside and have lost a few kgs as well
———–
This program worked well for me. As I am a procrastinator the calls from my coach kept me accountable. Luckily I don’t have any major health problems, so focusing on changing habits was my focus. I’m 67 and my mum is a fairly fit 97, so I want to ensure my next 30 or so years are healthy and happy ones. The resources, especially the video on “there are no good or bad foods” example of a pendulum was very powerful for me. That and “Eat the Rainbow” is something that stays with me. So I really appreciate having all the tools available to me while on this journey. Thanks to my dietitian for your guidance.
———–
My lovely dietician helped me throughout my journey and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to interact with.
Her knowledge of all things diet related, her understanding, compassionate way toward me and her beautiful friendly yet professional attitude are second to none.
Without her regular calls and encouragement, I honestly don’t think I would have stuck with the program. I knew what I had to do, I just needed to make myself accountable to someone so I would commit 100% until this became my lifestyle. Which I am proud to say it has 🙂
The thing I like most about this is that it’s not reliant on shakes, or fads of any kind, it’s all just common sense. Which makes it easy to maintain after your program is finished.
———–
1. Communication. This was very important to me. I have alot going on in which contributed to not always being able to achieve my goals. My coach, is a great listener & always suggested ways of breaking down options to help assist in achieving my goals.
2. Trustworthy, honesty, reliable, professional. My coach ticked all of these boxes for me. I’ve been able to get back on track with a healthy eating plan. Whilst the exercise has been slower to achieve, it is happening, finally. The most important thing I achieved, was to take time out for myself. Moving house recently, this was such a huge thing to try and do. I welcomed the fortnightly calls from my coach who always steered me in the right direction, providing support and resources for the programme to refer to.
3. The Miyagi Healthy App. This was such a user friendly system. I found no problem navigating around it at all. From great recipes, videos, moving scheduled appointments etc, just so easy.
4. I enjoyed the programme and love the fact I’m still able to have access to the App and reach out to the team.
5. The Miyagi FB I joined as well and whilst not posting alot here, I did follow the group for some great members advice and their achievements too.
6. Finally, with all the information, support provided, the thing to remember, is, it was up to me to refer to and use it. I’ve completed my programme and can say Miyagi certainly excelled in all of the above. They have given me the opportunity to think differently about myself in the way of living a healthier lifestyle and the importance of my own wellbeing, so thank you.
———–
My experience has been a slow revisiting of my habits, and I have been given space, counsel and encouragement to check them. At times I felt like a child, restoring foundational things like water intake, “fruit twice a day” etc But so what? I see how busy my days are, with minimal time for self care/planning/enjoyment. I am not where I want to be, but I have been grateful that my directions have been changed, my systems feel better, and I can shake off all the “opinions/fads” about food advice & stay the course with optimism! My dietitian was consistently helpful, answering questions and seeing more positive steps in my week than I did! Encouragement is powerful. Thankyou.
———–
I’ve tried diets on my own and have never been able to stick it out, signing up for Miyagi has been great as it is the exact amount of support I need.
Checking in weekly and talking to a real person each week has helped me learn about food portioning, healthy ideas, and helps me make little goals that have really helped me set up good long term habits.
———–
I joined Miyagi after years of failed diet attempts and just craving and hoping for something better. I was gifted from my dietitian and across each session we slowly changed and/or improved on different areas of my diet and life in general. I learned so much from my time, with little courses and extra bits of information added to the app, and took on the advice from my dietitian for extra reading and websites I could search through. Things I didn’t expect to gain from my time here, was a much more positive view of myself and my life, more confidence and just changed my ideas about weights and the numbers on the scale in general. If you need a life shake-up I highly recommend giving Miyagi a go and be sure to really make use of your time and sessions with them. It’s well worth it!
*I feel like as a side note I should add, my bloods at the end were near perfect and it’s even given me the tools to help bring down my husband’s cholesterol levels too.
———–
Miyagi has helped me change my behaviours and perspectives to enable me to stick with losing weight in the long term. I’m understanding how I’ve undermined myself and stayed overweight. Miyagi gives real guidance and support to keep me on track and continuing my weight loss journey.
———–
I think the best things about the Miyagi program are the weekly sessions with the dietician, the meal planning resources, the Facebook support group and Dr Walker’s sessions. By far the best thing is the time with Shanae each week. She has been kind, supportive, well informed and gently directional. I feel so much happier about my health and food choices. I am exercising more and am able to enjoy eating good food. Although the website is a bit clunky, once you learn how it works, it is very helpful.
———–
My dietician is patient, calm, practical, non judgemental and full of practical suggestions. I have never felt talked down to. She’s like a clever friend who knows how to help, not enable. I’m about halfway into the program and have lost weight and my Dr is thrilled with my cholesterol numbers that have come down significantly. Best of all I feel empowered and not on a diet. For the first time in my life I feel like I’m in control of the food and the decisions around it. I am not being dragged around by the teeth anymore. I make my own decisions and I don’t catastrophise about eating a cupcake or Easter egg anymore. I can keep it in perspective and not let it get out of hand. This has NEVER been my experience before!

My Miyagi coach is an absolute legend. She kept me focused on the positive achievements when I was feeling hopeless, opened my eyes to some really useful changes I could easily make with my exercise, meals, and routines and kept me thinking about overall health. I’m so thankful to my dietitian and the program, and I highly recommend it
———–
I am delighted with the program. Weekly calls with my dietician help keep me accountable and great eating tips that are making a huge difference. Ability to take photo and load every meal for food journal as well as recording changes in metrics is very useful. This is a slow burn program for people who want to make sustained change and nothing else works.
———–
Highly recommend Miyagi. So far this has been amazing, I am losing weight but more importantly I am changing the way I think. Talking to my dietician each week encourages me, teaches me and helps me be accountable for my decisions. I am now doing lots of exercise and enjoying it, I am keeping hydrated and making healthy food options. I am loving this new way of life and I know the small changes I am slowly implementing in my lifestyle are here to stay.
———–
Through working with my dietician, I am learning so much about my nutrition and what works to sustain my body in all the activities I need to do every day. I am actively renewing my mind from the way that society has programed me in regard to what I should look like and what is beautiful. I have discovered my reasons for dieting and binge eating and the emotions that drive those behaviours. I’ve still got a lot to deal work through in loving my body and respecting what it does for me every day, but at least I have started the process. My dietitian has been a fantastic support for me and is such an encouragement. Thanks for your teaming with me.
———–
There’s so much support through weekly phone catch ups, websites with information, Facebook page and support groups, etc. My diet has definitely improved for the better. The program goes for 6 months which I believe is a good functional length of time to cement changes in behaviour. Definitely recommend.
———–
When I read all about the program, I knew I wanted to join. Right from the very first telephone appointment I felt like a part of the family and that made me feel that I was on the right track. What I really like and the most important thing is the communication has been 100% which makes it a lot easier to understand the process and today I received a lovely little gift from the team. I can’t wait to really get stuck into the program.
———–
I have found the experience with Miyagi very positive, supportive and productive. I have been guided and transformed into who I once was, a passionate and positive person. I can see where I am heading and smashing my goals. My last goal is to run a half marathon in my home town this November. I have been given all the tools to read and use and can’t think of how I could do my new lifestyle without the guidance of Miyagi.
———–
I have a great dietitian who supports me and gives me great info on what to do to help me make the life changes required and to stick to them. The app is easy to follow and update, with new modules added regularly.
———–
I joined the Miyagi program in October after reading about it on social media. I am glad I did as the program has helped me learn more about my health and the steps I can take to improve. The healthie app is easy to navigate and the information provided is very easy to understand and super informative. My dietitian is very helpful, honest and encouraging. We do weekly regular phone consults which have helped me be accountable for achieving my weekly goals.
———–
I’ve spent my whole life struggling with my weight and food, but here I have learnt a better relationship with food, I now have all the tools to change my lifestyle for a better healthier me. I understand food better and appreciate the connection exercise has to a better me.
———–
This is a holistic, realistic and very do-able program for a healthy lifestyle, focusing on health, nutrition, physical health – all of which has helped my mental health. I have embraced this program and my new routine and habits have quickly become my new normal.
———–
I have experienced specific advice that’s personalised for my needs; that is given with consistently positive coaching to reach my health goals! The recipes are delicious! I’m still learning!
———–
Having my weekly call with my dietitian has been my best experience. I don’t think I’ve lost weight but I’m not concentrating on that as I have in the previous past. I’m developing healthy lifelong habits and mindset. She always has some goals for me to work on that benefit me individually. I love the community on Facebook and I am inspired by the posts. I have learnt a lot from the modules that will benefit me now and into the future. The money I paid is an investment for a healthy future for myself and my family are inspired by my healthy changes. Miyagi is helping our nation to be healthier.
———–
The support and advice given by the program was exactly what i have needed to establish good routines, learn better food selection planning and find regular exercise options that fit in with my life style. My dietitian has been a fantastic support and has gently but firmly helped me to set weekly goals. Overall i feel healthier, fitter slimmer and more flexible and i would consider having the option to continue perhaps fortnightly for a few months if this was available. Thank you
———–
If you are looking for a prescriptive eating plan you will not get one from Miyagi. Instead, you will be provided with the tools to change your relationship with food for the long term. Having tried so many prescriptive and restrictive ways of losing weight in the past, some with good, but short term results, I am finding Miyagi’s approach much more beneficial. My dietitian has been very supportive and encouraging and speaking to her weekly keeps me accountable. I have been focused on improving my overall health for the past 5 weeks and losing 5kgs in that time has been a positive and pleasing side effect. I have also been able to fit into a smaller pair of work pants than I was wearing 5 weeks ago
———–
Now that I have been on this programme for 3 months, I am seeing good results. I can’t speak highly enough of the knowledgeable young dietician/ coach who is guiding me through the process. The only reason for not giving 5 stars was the original joining up where I felt pushed in to the payment plan without a chance to think about it.
———–
I would like to say how grateful I am for my beautiful coach, she us an amazing person who has enriched my life and has given me the tools and support to continue on my journey to a happier, healthier me. I would recommend this programme to anyone who is struggling with food. it has always been a demon in my life. but not now and will never ever be again.
———–
My dietitian has made my experience fantastic. She is always very cheerful and warm in her interactions. She is very knowledgeable and helpful with plenty of ideas and information. I have learnt vast amounts about nutrition, what are ideal foods to be eating to help with any problem I have. She is always forthcoming with information and suggestions regarding supplements that she knows would be helpful for me. She always follows through with all that she says she will do for me which is very comforting and refreshing because I know I don’t have to ask twice. I feel I have had a supportive friend walking with me during my journey with Miyagi.
———–
This programme was a big financial outlay for me and I began feeling a little impatient with myself and wanted quick results. But as the weeks have gone on I have found myself encouraged by the weekly calls and the gentle and supportive nudging by my dietician. I have found her advice practical and useful and she has listened to what is important to me. She has made me feel accountable about the goals I have set without being judgemental when I have not reached them that week. My own mindset and the way I have looked at meal prepping and what situations trigger me to eat has changed in that I am not as focused on losing weight but rather on how to make healthier daily choices on the food I prepare and the exercise I choose. Although I have only managed to lose a few kilos so far I am feeling stronger and more energetic than I have in a while as I’ve taken control of my health journey. I’m mindful of what I put into my mouth and think about the consequences of my behaviours more than I ever have. I find the app modules useful and the strategies and suggestions given by my dietitian particularly helpful. So far so good
———–
My experience with the program has been good. The weekly sessions act as a reminder and keep me focused on small steps. Most of it seems to come from me – the goals, which I suppose is a good thing, but I find it hard to come up with new goals each week. I am definitely healthier, with a more balanced diet. In many ways we all know what we should be doing diet wise, but the weekly sessions are a terrific way to stay on track. I have not lost weight, but that was not my goal. I certainly do not crave chocolate and ice cream any more, and have alternatives when necessary.
———–
I have been following the 26 week wellness challenge and the encouragement, tip and guidance I have received from my Coach has been outstanding!! I highly recommend this program to anyone, who just needs that encouragement and push to get you moving in the right direction!
———–
I found the one-on-one coaching especially valuable. Particularly because the dietitians I had were really encouraging and empowering. I’ve learned about eating healthy foods, portion control, and consistent movement.
———–
I’m fairly new to the program, but I love that I have someone each week to talk to and help me with different foods to eat. My dietitian is lovely and gives me heaps of ideas and also helps me when health problems arise, she works with me to keep me on track.
———–
Since joining in June 2022 I have lost 10kg (I still have a long way to go) but more importantly I am quite pleased with how my relationship with food has changed. The tools available helped me understand how food affects our body & the menu ideas/recipes take the hassle out of thinking of what to have.
My coach has been there for me (during a very hard time in my life too) offering support and guidance in a professional way without making me feel like I have failed or done something wrong. My food choices now are much healthier and I simply feel better in general. This program is NOT a “diet” it is a new way of life a much healthier way.
———–
It’s great to be accountable & have an amazing dietician check in with you regularly. I haven’t lost the amount of weight that I wanted to, but even better is that I haven’t put on any. I’ve been putting on a lot of weight going through menopause & this has really helped me a lot! I am very mindful with what I eat & movement is really important too!!
———–
Miyagi uses a scientific, evidence-based approach to health and wellness incorporating the key interrelated principles of mindset, accountability, movement, and nourishment. This is spot on.
This coaching program combination coupled with amazing, responsive and friendly coaches enabled me to:
– develop healthier, mindful eating habits;
– gain insights to the effects of menopause [and trauma] on the body and mind; and
– learn new ways of exercising.
Ps. I now have a penchant for resistance bands.The support through the Facebook space was inspirational and motivational. I enjoyed the opportunity to congratulate others’ achievements as well as receive feedback on my posts. The Miyagi app and Members Lounge had all the tips and advice to keep me moving forward. Despite an injury and illness or two during my 26 weeks, I have gained the knowledge and skills to make healthy lifestyle choices now and in the future.
Although I will miss my coaching sessions and the encouragement and support from other Miyagi members, life is looking up. Thank you!
