Hi, I'm Margot Hiller,
Certified Health Coach and Nutrition Expert
My story: From Struggles to Solutions
At 45, I’ve come to cherish the beauty of my imperfect journey—and now want to inspire you to embrace yours! My mission is to guide you towards a balanced, joyful life through personalized wellness programs designed to fit your needs. I was born and raised in Poland, but for over a decade, I’ve navigated life away from home across Europe. This experience has been a rollercoaster— filled with rich experiences but also tough challenges. Without the familiar support of my home country, I faced significant health issues. Food, once my source of comfort, love, and safety, became a problem as I dealt with weight gain, IBS, spinal issues, and even autoimmune conditions. I’ve been in your shoes, searching for an effective weight loss solution. I tried countless diets, elimination plans, supplements, and medications, only to find that none offered lasting relief… My breakthrough occurred when I began tuning into my body’s signals and making intuitive adjustments, such as cutting back on animal products. This shift allowed me to create a lifestyle that truly supports my well-being, and I’m excited to help you achieve a similar transformative experience. Now happily based in Lausanne, Switzerland, I work with driven professionals across Europe and beyond to elevate their wellness and achieve long-term results. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness clients gain more energy, sharper focus, a slimmer figure, and a youthful glow, all while improving their mood and reducing their risk of chronic diseases as a bonus! Together, we build sustainable lifestyles (considering key factors such as sleep, stress levels, age, and more) to enhance vitality and performance. I provide easy, actionable steps that blend seamlessly into busy lives, allowing you to prioritize wellness while savoring life’s pleasures, from travel and enriching hobbies to great food. Forget the myth that strict diets and grueling workouts are the only path to fitness! I take pride in showing you how to achieve your health and weight loss goals authentically, staying true to yourself and your desires while fully enjoying the journey.
My Strategy for Lasting Results
I’ve always been a huge foodie, and lucky for you, this passion means you'll receive a wealth of tested, delicious, and healthy recipes that are as exciting as they are easy to prepare. But it’s not just about the food itself. Recognizing that many eating habits are influenced by emotions and stress, I leverage my background as a trained mindfulness teacher (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, MBSR) to address the root causes of challenges like emotional eating. Although changing long-standing habits can be tough, you only get one body. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to prioritize health and help you do the same. With over 20 years in a demanding corporate career and having navigated my own health crisis, I understand the stress of balancing a busy professional life while seeking time for rejuvenation, healing, and weight loss. I bring this experience to our work together, offering empathy, insight, and practical solutions to support you every step of the way—and most importantly, a personal touch. You deserve nothing less. No tedious calorie counting or cookie-cutter meal plans here! My approach focuses on crafting a lifestyle and eating habits that are uniquely yours— attainable, enjoyable, and something you’ll actually look forward to each day. Let’s work together to nurture your body, mind, heart, and spirit to their fullest potential.

My pleasures
I'm a nature lover, and I love spending time outdoors.
Whether hiking in the mountains, chilling by the lake or strolling through a park, I love being surrounded by nature.
I enjoy physical activity.
Pilates, yoga, and paddle boarding are some of my favourites recently. However, I do get the appeal of the adrenaline rush of skiing, surfing, or climbing, too!
I love good food!
And I don't mind cooking, but it shouldn't be complicated or time-consuming - simple and flavourful meals, often inspired by travels are more my style.
I love testing new ideas for casual yet original meals, and I'd love to share the best of them with you!
And finally, simple pleasures.
Quality time with friends, long conversations with my partner, night out in the movies or night in with a book, my cat purring on my lap...these things bring me joy.
