For the past 9 years I have had the fortunate opportunity to work with Liliana Tosic. The knowledge and insight that she brings to our team at anxiety centre is priceless. Many of my clients have benefited greatly from her knowledge of nutrition and health. I have seen miraculous results from working with Liliana including one client that is in remission from Lupus today as a result of her work. When working with anxiety clients it is extremely important that we empower them to make changes not only their cognitive behaviors but also their health and nutrition. Without Liliana’s help, the recovery process would be almost impossible for many of our clients. It is not only her knowledge but her ability to connect with our clients. In addition to her knowledge and experience her life story is one of inspiration to all who have heard it. It is obvious that from growing up in the war torn country of Bosnia that the difficult experience has shaped Liliana into a compassionate nutritionist that wants to see people healed not only physically but mentally and spiritually.
