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!
January is all about clean slates, fresh starts and new beginnings. We resolve to "get it right this time," to make this year's effort the one that sticks, and yet the memories of failed past attempts haunt us like ghosts in the shadows.
I invite you to a new perspective on your resolutions this year.
Whatever didn't work in the past, whatever you think you shouldn't be doing/eating/drinking, whatever has haunted you for more than one January past, please, please, please, forget about it. Stop giving it the energy and fuel to keep resurfacing in your life.
Instead, try something new. If your resolution has to do with improving your health, weight, or state of mind, for example, then start thinking about the kinds of things you would be saying if you were already at your goal. Give those thoughts the fuel to rocket right into your life.
You'd probably be spouting phrases like:
I feel so good about myself
I really look great
I love how much energy I have
I make great choices because I love feeling great
It is easy to be here
I am so happy
You see, the real secret to success is in focusing as much time, energy and thought on these (notice they are all things you DO want) and not on what's wrong with you, what you hate, and what you DON"T want to see in your life. Contrary to what most of us think, you have to be happy FIRST, and then you can lose the weight, quit the habit, control the cravings.
Every time you get caught in the trap of noticing something that you do not like about yourself, (you'll know because it feels really lousy somewhere in your body: refer to the pit in your stomach or the lump in your throat), THANK yourself for reminding you that your focus is in the wrong place, and switch it immediately to something positive about yourself. You'll notice the different feeling in your body right away - it automatically feels better to think well of your life.
Can't think of anything? How about:
I am in a state of transition (hey, now that sounds exciting!)
I am moving forward toward my goals
I have really great __________ (hair, eyes, legs, etc.)
I feel better already
I love myself enough to stop hurting myself
Sound radical? Maybe that's just what you need to make a change that is actually permanent. Give it a try. The worst that can happen is you may actually have to think of a different resolution for 2013.
Wishing you all your heart desires and then some,
Jennifer
