Testimonials

"My work with Andrea has been invaluable. I have struggled with a negative self-body image all my life and tried every fad diet there is, never feeling comfortable in my own skin no matter what I weighed or how I looked. I was exhausted and totally frustrated with the constant obsessing over food and body issues when I met Andrea.

At first, I was impressed by her reliability, professionalism and creativity with which she approached every appointment. I was hopeful that she would tell me how to ‘lose weight.’ But soon into our sessions I realized I was learning way more than a ‘diet plan.’

My objectives began to change and I saw what I truly needed to learn what Andrea was revealing to me — how to make food my friend not my controller and how to love the body I’m in.

Andrea, from the get-go, showed a warmth and sincere investment in my personal growth because she loves what she does and she honors every individual’s journey. I trusted her immediately and she never let me down. She has taught me so much about nutrition, from the physical, biological components to a deeper understanding of the energetic qualities of food.

More importantly, Andrea has helped me to uncover so much about myself and my relationship to food and led me down a path of healing I never dreamt possible."

"Before working with Andrea, I struggled for two years with ongoing weight gain, no energy at all and I frequently felt ill. This made it hard to be my best in my career and other aspects of my life. I knew I had to change my diet, but I was worried that I would be told to give up everything I loved to eat.

My work with Andrea brought me to a new level of relationship with my body and all the food that I put into it. I can feel the energy of my food and how my body reacts to it. That means I have drastically changed what I put in my mouth.

I have lost more weight than I could have imagined in such a short time and my energy level is totally different. The most important thing this did was connecting what was important to me to how I nourish myself on a physical level - that is what was missing most in my life.

This has been one of the most important things I have ever done for myself and I can’t wait to teach these skills to my children."

"I was having dizzy spells, pains in my legs, and I even had a seizure, maybe due to not eating properly. I had been to counselors for too much anxiety, but they would say there was no solution, that it would be a lifelong struggle. They wanted to put me on anti-anxiety medications.

When I started working with Andrea, I didn’t want to cook anything, so we started out by focusing on sugar and breakfast. I noticed the impacts. When I ate breakfast, I no longer got dizzy at two o’clock. Eventually I was willing to tackle cooking dinner. Little by little, I gained small confidences, like cooking rice. When I finally did that successfully I got excited—it felt like a big accomplishment. Now, when I eat well, I rarely have anxiety attacks. I’ve tested it. If I go back to eating sugary foods, I get more easily stressed and moody again.

Before I would say yes to everything and do whatever anyone asked me to do, like working through dinner. My personal self would take a fall for that. But now, I can say no. Andrea taught me how to have greater appreciation for myself."

"Before working with Andrea, I felt drained, sad and wanted to better my physical and spiritual health. I loved how open, nurturing and honest Andrea is. I felt free to discuss any topic that was affecting my health.

And now, I’m loving the new foods that are now a permanent part of my life. I love cooking creative healthy foods. I’m happy to know myself better, and how to take care of myself better.

I feel I have life long nutrition information, and her guidance helped me in my time of need!"

"I came to Andrea feeling guilty about my eating habits and discouraged with my weight gain.

The most significant improvement is, after over 2 years of suffering with extreme hot flashes, I have not experienced any for at least 5 weeks now.

Andrea’s non-judgmental approach is what helped me make these changes. She is patient, has a light sense of humor, and she was very focused on my particular needs. She always followed up with helpful materials to reinforce any issues or concerns. Nothing was ever presented in an intimidating fashion but rather as an interesting experiment.

Now, I have more energy, I look and feel better. And I have a guilt-free eating plan, which makes a huge difference!"

"Before the program, I felt low in energy, out of shape, I wanted to see if changing my eating habits could change how i felt.

Now, I know how certain foods affects my feelings, the importance of choosing the rights foods for me, and how I will feel as a result, and what I have to eat for more energy.

I would tell other women that this program would really allow them to open their mind to the power food has over our day to day feelings, mood and energy levels."

"At first I was unsure about doing this program, but the more I talked to my wife the more I realized how much we needed a real life change.

I loved that Andrea works with a natural real food approach this is in line with my goals and beliefs. I also loved the accountability of our scheduled times.

My relationship to food has changed tremendously as a result of working with Andrea. I have lost weight but even better, I now have the knowledge, the knowing that I CAN lose weight, that I can treat myself better and take care of my body.

To all those who are wondering about doing this, I’d say what Andrea always reminds me…your life depends on it.

Cost is always a factor for me, but it’s ridiculous NOT to spend money on YOUR HEALTH when we so easily waste money on things that don’t help us. This is worth every penny. I am worth spending my money on MY health."
