Spring Cleaning Detox Program Testimonials:
"I did your detox in March am am very happy with the results. I have lost 10 pounds; the eczema on my face and hands has gone away; my flexibility has increased; I gave up coffee (and caffeine without effort); my chronic back pain from a herniated disk has been dramatically reduced. Another thing that I have experienced is that I need less sleep. I used to be exhausted when I got up at 8. Now I get up on my own at 6. In short, things are going great and I thank you for that." ~Michael 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!"
"As you predicted, it is easier to make good food choices since the beginning of this program and I am enjoying cooking in a new, guilt-free way. Foods I never thought I would even like, I now look forward to preparing and eating!" ~Joan J.
"I find that I am stopping to think about the choices I make before putting something into my body. I am a better shopper, I read labels more and have an overall awareness that garbage in = garbage out. I wake up less sluggish every day and feeling less bloated."
"Your 4 week detox program is about more than just food, but also about motivation and creating a greater awareness to loving and caring for one's body and oneself." ~ Jeanine L.
"Great Class! I definitely feel a difference in cravings...instead of the sugar, I crave healthier foods now...just like you said I would! You are the best!" ~Kristin B.
"I definitely notice a difference. My sugar cravings have decreased! Great job Jenn! Thank you!" ~Jeni F.
"I am loving the changes that I have made so far!!!" ~Lauren D.
"I get so caught up in work/kids/busy schedule/etc that I always end up putting myself last...The calls were one hour a week which worked great with my busy schedule, but were also enough to bring me back down to earth, to allow me the time to start thinking of myself again and to put my desire to be healthy, feel good and look good as a higher priority in life. I LOVE that your philosophy is not about a "diet" but about whole body, whole life living." ~Jeanine L.
Feeding Your Life Private Counseling Testimonials:
"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 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 very interested in 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.
I have always been a “glass is half empty” kind of person. So, when I started working with Jen Kelly, I was only partially expecting any kind of changes. I was in for a surprise….I didn't anticipate how much I would evolve over the six months working with Jen as my holistic health counselor. Her program allowed me to reach my potential. Through each session, Jen helped me to become aware of issues underlying my poor eating habits. She listened, gently probed, and offered specific recommendations. I was able to create new and better habits based on Jen’s advice and support. Her "add-in" approach worked as a subtle and gradual way for me to make little changes over time, that have now become second nature. I didn't even know what a goji berry was before meeting Jen. Now, I eat them often! I have dramatically changed the contents of the refrigerator, pantry, and the dinner plate.
I would never have thought I could make changes that would be so profound in all areas of my life. I have a more positive outlook. There is a new lightness and brightness about me. I have lost weight (20 lbs!), and seen improvements in my skin, hair and nails. I have avoided being on medications for high cholesterol and triglycerides - making real changes in my blood work. Overall, I have new found energy for myself and my family.
Jen has given me new life. She has given me the tools I need to make choices that benefit my body and therefore, me and my family. I am confident that these changes, brought along due to Jen Kelly, are permanent. I have many, many blessings in my life, and Jen Kelly is one of them. I'm happy to describe myself as “seeing the glass half-full” now and I'll never go back! This is the only way to live - let Jen show you the way, too!! ~ Jennifer Z
Meeting Jennifer was one of the best things to happen in my life at this time. I truly enjoyed every session - Jen understood me, my fears and anxieties. She opened my eyes to different foods and to understanding their purpose. All the changes have made a significant change in my health - my cholesterol and triglycerides have dropped to healthy levels and my energy has increased. Thank you, Jen. Love, Pat S.
I highly recommend Jennifer Kelly. She is extremely knowledgeable, as well as compassionate and caring. She is sincerely interested in helping her clients holistically and takes the time to understand their needs, and put together an individualized, custom plan for each person. I have used her catering services as well as her counseling services and I highly recommend both. I have already referred Jen to many of my friends. ~Susan O.
When I first came to Jen, I knew I needed a change in my life but wasn’t truly certain of what or how that change would take place. I wanted to eat better and have more energy - I wanted to feel better, whatever that meant. I ended up getting so much more than that. I couldn’t have imagined the overall impact Jen’s services would have on my life.
Over a 6 month period, I changed the way I eat, shop, cook, exercise, feel, and I incorporated my mind, body, and spirit throughout it all…which was huge for me. I set and accomplished all my goals and then some. I looked forward to every visit with Jen. She is so genuine and treats her clients with such love. She tailors the program to your specific needs as you go.
I used to get frequent heartburn. Acid-reducer was a staple in my medicine cabinet. Since working with Jen, I’ve noticed a huge decrease in the amount of heartburn I experience. I started shopping the perimeter of the food store and "made friends" with the wall of greens. I initiated and have committed to an exercise routine that works for me. My overall energy level is much higher now. I get so much more done in my day compared to before. As an added bonus, I’ve lost at least 10 pounds.
I’ve added in many of Jen’s self-care suggestions and I’ve discovered how I block and limit myself when Jen reminded me that I deserve everything I desire. I was introduced to the amazing works of authors like Louise Hay and Shakti Gawain whom I continue to read and learn from. I also decided on my career path during my time with Jen and I recently started graduate school. I realized that I wasn’t in a healthy relationship and I was given so many tools along the way to get myself through a break up and truly take care of myself during that rough time. So many changes, big and small, took place in my life during those 6 months.
For anyone who is trying to make a health change in their life, Jen will guide you beyond what you could imagine. Jen provides an invaluable service and it is some of the best money I’ve ever spent on myself. - Joanna H.
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. Jen is a pleasure to work with- at each session she discussed the way my life worked, how eating healthy was possible while juggling a full-time job and a family. My entire outlook and the way I look at food and my body has changed for good! I am much more in tune with my body’s needs than I ever have been. I know now what is lacking- whether it’s a green vegetable, exercise, or simply a different mental approach. My body has changed, but best of all, I now approach every day with an altered attitude about dieting and health. Anyone who is thinking about personal health goals should see someone like Jen Kelly. Better yet, see Jen herself! Remember to be patient and kind and love yourself. (I learned that from Jen!) Feeding Your Life rocks! ~ Stephanie T.
Living to eat. It’s possible that could best describe my eating patterns prior to embarking on this 6 month program. A sluggish energy day was accepted as just getting older. But the human body is a wonderful engine. It deserves more. It yearns for optimal fuel to support optimal performance. My husband and I felt the positive effects of your program almost immediately. Following your recipes seemed so simple after just a few weeks. Our choices in the supermarket have switched from processed foods to living foods, and they taste much more flavorful. We have lost weight and feel younger with no health concerns to speak of. Our home has become 100% organic - not only food, but shampoo, toothpaste and make-up.
Jen, your enthusiastic attitude is contagious. Throughout this program you were approachable, encouraging and non-judgmental. We felt we could ask you anything without the risk of feeling embarrassed. We wish we had done this years ago, but like you pointed out to us, it's never too late to start.
The best advertisement is word of mouth. You can be sure we have told our family and friends about this transformation and your help in getting us there.
This journey has only begun for us. We thank you for your kindness and patience.
Yes, we started this program living to eat. But with your guidance and understanding, I am glad to say we now EAT TO LIVE. And what a glorious feeling that is…
Yours in health,
Kathy and Jack
Dear Jennifer,
Thank you so much for being such a wonderful guide in my life. Our meetings were informative, enlightening and fun. I have incorporated so many great, different foods in my diet. I am achieving my goal of more greens and grains and feel better for it. Who would think I would be eating kale, dark chocolate and beans?! Thanks for your recipes and all your knowledge. Mostly, thank you for making our sessions a time I looked forward to due to your great, easygoing personality. ~Warm regards, Kathy P.
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.
Dear Jennifer, I want to let you know (although I have said it before) just how much I have benefited from my time with you. All of the counseling and information you have given me really helped me more than you can imagine during the time of my surgery and rehabilitation. I took many of the wonderful gifts you gave me to the rehabilitation center with me. I cannot tell you how much better my progress was with those. Again, thanks so much for all of the help and support that you have given me. ~ Fran P.
Jenn, I just wanted to let you know how good it felt to have someone care about how I felt and actually could give guidance after listening to me. My friends would listen, but you were the AH-HA awakening I needed. I remember telling you how many of those moments I had when talking to you and making a connection to whatever it was at that particular session. The sessions seemed to have flown by, but with it I take along soooo much knowledge. I now know how to shop, I cook so much more frequently (and you know my schedule). I know what it feels like to be full and to be hungry. (I think that's called listening to your body. Hmmm, I think you taught me that too!) I spend more me time, and I don't need medication for certain bodily functions that otherwise needed help. I know that if my body starts feeling anything negative, there is something out of balance. You see how much you taught me - and there is so much more!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart - you have given me, "me" back. I truly believe this is the way of life for me. I can't believe I went through all those other diet fads, even Weight Watchers, which I always thought was the best thing to use as a guide, doesn't compare to listening to your own body and giving it what it needs, whether it's food, sleep or even exercise. I know to be nice to me! I'm worth it!! ~ Barbara E.
Jennifer, I went into this program with the intention of learning about eating more natural foods. I wanted to stop counting calories, points, etc., and concentrate more on listening to my body. I succeeded in doing this. You were very inspirational for me; I loved the one-on-one counseling and whenever I needed it, you always went out of your way to meet those needs. Love you, Virginia W.
Jen, I am sending you these pictures to show you how much you have changed my life (so far). I had done it all, from nutritionists to eating freeze-dried foods. You have changed my life with simple steps and ideas. There are not enough words to thank you for taking me on this journey. I can’t believe I went from protesting exercising in the beginning to running five miles a week. Me, running! Your support during this journey has been amazing; your words of encouragement and guidance really helped when I was struggling. This lifestyle has improved not only my health, but my relationships with my husband and children, my emotional health, and my entire perspective on life. I look forward to the rest of our time together, and will send final pictures when I am at my goal. Maybe it will be of me at the finish line of my first 5K! Love, Lisa
Jen, We absolutely loved your food! My guests were so impressed. Thank you!! - Gina B.
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.
This is coming a little late, but thank you SO much for a wonderful cooking class. I really enjoyed learning everything you taught us in this class (and the Raw class too!), and I can really say that it changed the way I look at how I eat, cook and shop for groceries! I thought that I've always been somewhat health-conscious when it came to food (with a family history of heart disease, diabetes and cancer I've had to be) but I never realized just how much more I could be doing. Thanks again! - Celina Z.
