Rosie is very skilled, has a vast wealth of knowledge within wellness and nutrition. She continually helped me with various ideas and goals. She worked with me on weight loss, staying active, and making more sensible choices during eating. Not only does she give you fabulous tips, but she is encouraging and thoughtful throughout the entire propose. She is such a joy, with such positive energy and a generous heart to serve. She was able to put me at ease but also steer me in the right direction with my goals. She makes her clients feel so comfortable, and at ease. When a client accomplishes a win, so does Rosie

Rosie is an amazing wellbeing coach. She is a coach who helps with your nutrition, weight, etc. but what I loved was that she included aspects of life that can get in the way of that - such as work, your private life, stress, family, etc. Rosie is a coach who will help you feel heard but will help you come up with a plan that works for you! She helps you make a plan with the lifestyle you have and includes your nationality/heritage to help you achieve your goal. It isn’t always white or black when it comes to your health and Rosie helped me believe in myself when things were unclear with my overall health goals.

Working with Rosie has been an amazing experience. From helping me with healthy food choices to going over exercise regimens and just being a motivational and inspirational nutritionist, she has helped me to hone in on making healthier choices and understanding my body mechanics. She uses holistic practices to help you relax and de-stress. If there is one thing that I got out of working with Rosie is that we all must hold ourselves accountable for our bad habits and breaking those bad habits will be hard and challenging - but with motivation and persistence we can accomplish our set goals. I recommend that everyone work with her because she not only helps you with your health, but she becomes your friend and doesn't judge you even if you lose your way. She motivates you to get back on the path that you set out for yourself. Words can't express the difference she has made in my life and you won't regret the difference she will make in yours.

 I am not sure that it was well known to others, the contribution you made to the lives of almost everyone at WD. Your calm, yet informative, style never "body shamed" anyone, you just made us feel empowered and able. Your contribution in song in all of our celebrations and your effervescent personality will be remembered fondly, and we hope that we can welcome you back one day. Until then - keep singing, smiling... and soar!

I highly recommend Rosemarie as a nutritionist or a life coach. She helped me with my weight due to a thyroid issue I have. We adjusted whatever did not work in my eating every time we met. As a life coach she is amazing and helped me through a difficult time in my life.

Rosie, you are a blessing and a beautiful person inside and out. I thank you and wish you only happiness and success in life.

I have worked alongside Rosemarie for over four years in the health and wellbeing field and have had the opportunity to witness her continued growth and success in the work she has provided for our client and the individuals she serves. Throughout our work together, Rosemarie's capacity, drive, and dedication to carrying out her role as Wellbeing Coach have been present in so many ways. Her ability to connect with others and establish a rapport; her creativity in providing new initiatives and wellness programming materials; her support to our team regarding coaching methodologies and insights; and her constant drive and dedication to her growth and building upon her experience in order to better serve others are just some of the attributes I have had to the opportunity to witness throughout our work together. I believe Rosemarie would be an asset in any role that she pursues and it is my pleasure to offer my unreserved recommendation.

Rosemarie Dias joined our hospital as our WellBeing Coach over two years ago. I was getting ready for my daughter's wedding about that time, and wanted to lose a few pounds as well as eat a more healthy diet and make some exercise goals. Rosie took me as I was and helped me set realistic goals that I could achieve. Over the past two years she helped me get to a healthier weight and maintain it. She assisted me in making my exercise goals possible. She takes a client just where they are and helps them move forward taking baby steps that lead to lifestyle changes that will last for years to come. I also volunteer as a HeartSmarts Ambassador and when I asked her, Rosie even assisted me with a class and has provided great resources as needed. She has guided many of my colleagues as well to a healthier lifestyle. Always encouraging, positive, and REAL, Rosie is one of our best "perks" at NYP! I encourage everyone to utilize her talents and skills.

 I worked with Rosie first as a colleague. I was very impressed by the work she did in organizing health events in the office and her knowledge so I continued to work with her as a personal nutritionist. She is very well organized and excited about her work. At our meetings, she provided both informative presentations as well as cooking demonstrations. I also received tools such as a detailed monthly action to make implementing her advice easy. Rosie was always available to provide additional guidance and was able to adjust very well to the needs of both myself and my friends to provide the best personalized advice.

I spent the better part of a year working with Rosemarie and had the pleasure of attending 3 of her worksite wellness sessions. Her lectures were substantially in depth and even touched on the specifics of how the body processes certain vitamins and minerals. I gained insight on proper balancing of meals, which vitamins are needed for which functions of the body, and even how to cook vegetables properly so that they maintain their nutritional benefits. She even took the time after the lectures and during various parts of the day to answer additional questions that we had. They were very informative sessions and I hope to see more in the future

I have had the pleasure of attending 3 of Rosie's Health & Wellness seminars and workshops during her time at Dannon. Rosie's impressive knowledge about health and nutrition has helped me improve further my own health and wellness knowledge. Simply by including a healthy menu with the cafeteria to including more healthy options by making them available in the office. Small changes applied created big results. My favorite workshops were the cooking classes made available to employees during lunch. It was fun to cook and eat healthy in the office! Rosie is very dedicated to communicating health & wellness and always was available to support and introduce new ideas. I not only enjoyed working with Rosie but enjoyed her expertise and professionalism.

Rosie worked one-on-one with me to help me through the nutrition part of my weight loss program. We met weekly & she was always knowledgeable, thorough, motivating & so patient with my struggles to change my dietary habits. She found a way to allow me "treats" for myself and I still managed to lose 20-25 because of the recommended foods & the optimal times to eat the foods = all her ideas! Though I didn't really understand the details, Rosie took the time to explain why things worked the way they did & what positive steps I needed to take to continue with my healthy lifestyle, I always looked forward to our meetings and there was something new for me to learn at each one! Rosie has a pleasant demeanor, is easy to talk to & she makes it tough NOT to listen to her advice!
