"I began health coaching with Sarah Gutman about a year ago after Employee Wellness came down to our fire academy to conduct on-site testing. During my test it was discovered that my blood pressure was in a higher range than expected for my age. After a few virtual meetings with Sarah, she began to come up with some ways to help with my blood pressure, as well as help me obtain weight loss goals, exercise goals, and dieting goals. Well a year later I no longer consume caffeine and alcohol and I am down 20 pounds. I exercise daily, count calories and have all around better habits. I attest this to the employee wellness program and Sarah. Thank you guys for helping me become a healthier individual."

"I really enjoy and appreciate all the services that are allotted to us through the CoNH Wellness program. I love my one-on-one Health Coaching with Sarah Gutman; her knowledge and support in helping me adopt sustainable lifestyle habits has been invaluable. I take advantage of both our walk group with Sarah and Fitness, Movement or Stretch classes with Liz Markman — both ladies are wonderful to work with. The wellness team as a whole are a pleasure to work with."
