See what some of Jennifer's clients have to say:
"I have more mental clarity, energy and I have lost two pant sizes, but for me, the most tangible result is the way others react to me. On a daily basis, I now hear, "You look so happy,' 'You have lost weight,' and 'Wow, you just look great!'" - Scott A.
"I would never have thought I could make changes that would be so profound in all areas of my life. There is a new lightness and brightness about me. I have lost 20 lbs (!), and seen improvements in my skin, hair and nails. I have avoided medications for high cholesterol and triglycerides - making real changes in my blood work. Overall, I have new found energy for myself and my family. This is the only way to live." - Jen Z.
"How can food that tastes so good be so good for you??" - J.H.
"My family eats together when we eat your food. For that alone, I am so grateful! Thank you from the bottom of my heart." - Tricia R.
"Thank you SO much for a wonderful cooking class. I can really say that it has changed the way I eat, cook and shop for groceries! I always thought I've been health-conscious when it came to food, but I never realized just how much more I could be doing. Thanks again!" - Celina Z.
"The experience I've had with Jen Kelly has truly changed my life. Not only has my body changed, but my entire way of thinking." - Steph T.
"Jen provides an invaluable service; it is some of the best money I've ever spent on myself."
- Joanna H.
I am now making better choices and even enjoying foods I never knew existed! My improved choices have brought many changes: 22-pound weight loss, down from size 24 to size 14, my LDL has dropped significantly as has my blood sugar levels. Most importantly, my energy level has been great. I was amazed by the Whole Foods tour and the "green wall," and I loved Jennifer's cooking classes. This has been a great experience for me. ~Terry D. I was NEVER health conscious and I NEVER believed in Holistic Medicine or Holistic anything else...I can't believe in such a short period of time I am changing my life for the better. Also, my mood has been uplifted and I try to share my new found knowledge with others. Thank you so much Jennifer for bringing me to the light. Better late than never! ~Phyllis S. "This program has been wonderful for me. My back pain has all but gone away in the past three weeks and I feel lighter and have more energy than I have for a long time! I can't thank you enough for helping me realize that the foods we eat can have such a tremendous impact on our minds and bodies!" ~Joan J. The experience of working with has been a gift I gave to myself - it has made me aware of my connection with food on a deeper level and given me the tools I need for growth. The information I learned about the keys to great health are a part of me now, as are the spiritual lessons I learned in the process. I truly appreciate working with you. ~Jeanmarie W. |

Greetings!
Just because the holidays are here, doesn't mean we have to abandon all manner of self-care. In fact, these are the times when it is most important to listen to the messages our bodies are giving us and take control of the situation. If we really love the soul inside of the body, then we will want to do everything to make sure it is happy, healthy and safe.
Sometimes, we need little reminders, so I put together a short holiday survival guide for those who feel they are already straying "off track."
1) Start each day with a positive, healthy intention. As soon as you wake up, declare one statement that would make you proud if you were to achieve it. Then carry on with your day - basically, set it and forget it. (You may be shocked at how quickly your intention comes back to you!)
2) Use the tools that you KNOW work for you. Pick ONE thing that you know keeps you feeling good, and add that in. Once it is a part of your routine, you can add a second one in. (Need ideas? Start with a big glass of lemon water upon waking up, or sipping hot lemon water throughout the day.)
3) Drink water! ESPECIALLY: before going to a party, in between alcoholic beverages and first thing in the morning.
4) CHEW your treats, as well as the rest of your food, well. Eat the holiday cookies, cakes and specialties, but DO NOT scarf them down. Slowly chew and enjoy each bite, savoring the flavor. Once your body gets a taste of satisfaction, you may not need as many bites as you thought.
5) Get real. If you find yourself shoveling in the holiday M&M's while standing in front of an open pantry, first stop and have a good laugh - then ask yourself what's really going on. Stressed about gifts, in-laws, money, family, etc.? That's NORMAL - but candy doesn't fix it. CHOOSE to do something that will actually alleviate the problem, not ultimately add to it. Everything we do or think is a CHOICE.
Finally, click here to access some GREAT apps to add to your smartphone, and most of them are free. They will inspire you throughout the holiday season and into the new year to be your healthiest, happiest self.
Wishing you all the joys and beauty of the holiday season,
Jennifer |
