MY PERSONAL NUTRITION  AND LIFESTYLE ‘NICHE’ FOUND

“Now at the end of this stage of our journey together, I find myself in a place where I am cooking more and enjoying it!  I hurry home from work to prepare dinner for my boys and they love it as do I.  After years of much trial and error, I finally found my ‘nutrition niche’: what is the best way to eat for me.   But I have also learned how to be flexible with it.  I am so much more accepting of myself and I am more grateful for my body and how it has served me.   I embrace my middle age with more dignity and optimism – more than I ever experienced at any other age!  I don’t know why or how, but my anxiety has been reduced and I feel less restless in the evening.  Working with Harriet has impacted my life so much more than I could have ever anticipated it would! -Claudia S., Economist, Rockville, MD 

FINDING A NEW PASSION

When I started with Harriet I had a thyroid problem, I had gained 30 lbs.  I had no energy and watched my once happy family crumble before my eyes.  Life seemed impossible.  I was drained and did not know where to go.  Harriet helped me reach the goals I had set for myself but was unable to attain without her support.  I was so happy with the results that I had achieved, I decided to enroll in the same school she attended so I could help people the way she helped me.  Harriet is genuine, smart, and a great support.  I highly recommend her.  Good luck on your journey! -Ellen S., Nutrition Coach,  Boca Raton, FL

TRANSFORMATION CAN HAPPEN

Once I made a conscious decision to make some lifestyle changes, Harriet came on board and paved the way for me to “DO IT”!  I signed on to meet with her for 12 sessions and each time we have met was a step towards better self awareness, eating habits, ways to run my daily life and simple ENJOY each day.  She was always ready with the right information and suggestions, very intuitive about my personal goals, and lifted my spirits.  The best part was I never had to worry or stress about to to do or not to do next.  All of her advice on a spiritual, practical, and nutritional plan was perfect for my individual needs and tailored to ME so it never felt like work.  I am so grateful to Harriet for all of her support.  -Wendy G., Small Business Owner, Rockville, MD

THE END OF BINGE EATING

Harriet helped me change the way I look at food and my bingeing behavior ended.  I learned that my primary foods – exercise, career, relationships, and spirituality will potentially override what I put into my mouth – secondary foods.  Those (primary) needs were never addressed in the past.  Overeating is merely a symptom.  We worked together to identify and plan how to care for myself and make my life as well as my food choices work better.  (I got a recent email from Carol, who completed her program last spring, in which she shared:  ”I had a physical this past week and found out that I had lost 10 lbs since last year.  I believe it ocurred because of what I learned from working with you last year!” -Carol N.,  Social Worker, Potomac, MD

A ONCE IN LIFETIME AWAKENING

Working with Harriet was an awakening for me.  More significantly, that awakening was not at all my intention for seeing her!  I went in an atheist and came out putting Mezuzahs on my doors!  It feels great to have a belief again after many years of not believing in God.  I feel a sense of calm now.   It feels nice to have this connection with spiritualism that I was so searching for.  My transformation occurred when, in one of our sessions, I opened up about my disbelief in God.  Harriet gently recommended a book that had gotten her on her spiritual path, Choosing My Religion, by Stephen Dubner.  After reading it, I started to get back in touch with Judaism and to know that there really is a loving God in my life.  Thank you Harriet. -Mary F., Attorney,  Gaithersburg, MD
