Peaceful understanding

by mariabklyn at Citysearch

I am extremely fortunate to have found Jeanette!

I was trying to lose weight and I thought I was doing all the "right" things. How mistaken I was! From the first meeting and on, Jeanette gave me knowledge, insight, and endless understanding to make the daily nutrition choices that I need. This is not a diet plan but a truly valuable dialogue for body and inner spirit.

I have been seeing Jeanette for a year and a half. I know I will continue to do so. I look forward to that!

Jeanette can show you how to heal

by kstrassmayer at Citysearch

Jeannette helped me turn my life from a digestive nightmare into a healthy and creative adventure! If you have any digestive or nutritional issues, Jeannette can help you.

I had been struggling with food intolerances for 2 years, unable to get to the bottom of what I was really intolerant to. My frustration was unbearable. In my first consultation with Jeanette, she advised me to go an a very basic diet and I felt better within a week. After only three sessions I had enough information, support, and knowledge to heal my stomach and return to a creative and productive life. It takes time to cure oneself with food, but IT WORKS! And Jeanette can show you how.

Jeanette is very well-informed, she knows how to communicate, and she treated me with great compassion and understanding. She made the daunting task of completely changing my diet attainable by giving me the opportunity to check in with her regularly.

I highly recommend the Path for Life Self-Nourishment Center to anyone who wants to improve their health, their relationship to food, and to heal from any issues to do with nutrition.

Thank you, Jeanette!

IT WASN'T AS HARD AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE......

by epok at Citysearch

One year ago I weighed 250 lbs. I was ready to change. And I knew I needed help. But it felt like such a huge mountain to climb. I had been to a nutritionist before but was not successful eating according to her plan. I had also gained 16 lbs on Weight Watchers... All of these, and other, failed diets just compounded my feelings of failure and worthlessness. A friend had recommended Jeanette to me and I called her the day before Christmas and I saw her four days later. I mention this because everyone typically closes up shop during this time of year (also a very depressing time of year when we struggle with food) and she responded to my "cry for help" immediately.

When I met Jeanette I was immediately struck by her presence. I thought, whatever she is eating, drinking, doing...sign me up! She is the embodiment of the nourished life. She was so gentle and nurturing with me. She took the time to find out what I liked to eat, so that she could encourage me to feed myself in a healthy style that worked for ME. She got immediately to my emotional eating issues and helped me to really understand self love and self nourishment. She did not put me on a diet. I did not keep a food journal or count calories (which I have always thought of as another way to obsess on food). She educated me about food in a way no one ever has. She taught me how to eat to live.

I've lost 75 lbs since I have begun seeing her. I am no longer obsessed with food. And I no longer carry the shame associated not just with the weight, but with over eating and reckless eating. And it is not as hard as I thought it was going to be. She has taught me how to love my self and nourish myself. She has been a wonderful addition to my life. She is incredibly generous with her knowledge and time. She believed that I could do it even though I didn't know for sure myself. During the year I suffered a neck injury and could not cook for myself. She told me to bring in my take-out menus (from home and work) and she took the time to mark what I could eat from them. She really takes time with you and gently challenges and guides you along the way.

I haven't had indigestion in a year. My cholesterol is normal. I was headed towards Diabetes for sure. Jeanette changed the trajectory of my life and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. That's the biggest surprise of all. Jeanette made it easy for me to begin to love myself and treat my body with respect. It's not just about weight loss, it's about self nourishment.

Her office is beautiful and comfortable. I feel safe and nurtured there. She listens and is so dedicated to reaching you. No one has ever been able to reach me as she has. She is so smart and so insightful. I call her The Food Whisperer.... But she is so much more than that. I am so grateful to have met her. She changed my life, not just my weight.

Jeanette is wonderful. She has helped me reach a new level of wellness in my mind and in my body. With her guidance, strength, and insight I have a whole new outlook on life. Since working with Jeanette I feel light, happy, and overall fantastic. I'm so grateful for her time and energy and I know that anyone who has the opportunity to work with her will feel the same way.
