"This program has motivated me to be the kind of eater I have always wanted to be, but for what ever reasons, wouldn't allow myself to be. I have incorporated so many more vegetables. I have started really listening to my body and my mind. I feel so much better and when I don't eat as well, I am so much more in touch with how and why and want to put good things in my body. The sugar lecture really paved the way. Just simply stopping and paying attention to the root of the craving. I also really enjoyed the recipes and the shopping session. It is exciting to try, and like, new things. Going shopping with you and getting the visual in the store was really important. Paying attention to my body and the messages it is sending has been the biggest help. Stacey- You have been wonderful! I love how you get me thinking about things. And you have such a gentle and unassuming approach. It does not put me on the defensive. That is a talent to be proud of. I don't think there is anything different or more you could do. I like what you have done so far. My one suggestion would be to share more of your own experience. That really struck me in the sugar lecture. Also that other people have similar responses, experiences. Somehow knowing that helps. Thanks for everything!"
-Julie McClure, Marin, CA
"Stacey is an amazing soul. Her energy overfills any space she is in and her wide smile melts a room, but besides all that she is also amazing nutrition counselor. I found Stacey completely by accident but over the last six months she has helped me over come some of demons and learn how to love myself enough to make positive changes in my life. Her kind yet assertive techniques are highly effective. She is extremely supportive and has your best interest in mind. She is definitely worth it!"
Gabriella Pasman, Yogini
"Stacey, You are a brilliant light of inspiration and healing. My life has been profoundly enhanced since we started working together. Before you came along, I was eating out almost every day. Now I am cooking almost every day and nourishing myself with wholesome delicious meals. You helped me identify the kinds of foods that are most nourishing to my body. I have also learned to nourish myself in countless other ways... yoga, meditation, dancing, bodywork, and an overriding commitment to radical self-acceptance. This healing is a life-long process, but I feel well on my way to living an extraordinary life. Thank you for doing this work!"
Kevin Blatt, Web Designer
"I saw Stacey speak at Whole Foods in San Rafael, I left her talk feeling so inspired! I feel like I've been looking for this program for years and I didn't even know it. I scheduled a consultation the next day, and started my program a week later. It's been 3 months. People are telling me I look great, the truth is I feel great! I am learning so much. Before working with Stacey I was feeling dull, craving that happy glow, and of course struggling to lose that last 5-10lbs. I generally eat pretty healthy, but I am learning that it's not just about what you eat. There is so much more! The store tour is great, a few months ago I had never even heard of some the foods that have become staples. My body feels healthy and alive, I feel so much more confident, and excited about cooking new foods. I can't wait to get my sister on board."
Janice Zuberick, Graphic Designer
"I have learned to use so many new ingredients. I loved the food store tour, Stacey offers tons of information. I feel like she really listens, and knows her stuff. I am always inspired after our sessions, like other people, I was nervous about spending the money, but after working with her for the past few months my life has totally shifted. It is so worth it and she gives 200% every time."
Valerie Simons, Photographer
"I've worked with Stacey a couple of months now and am very impressed. Not only is she knowledgeable in a way that earns instant credibility, but she makes nutrition feel accessible. I'm a very busy professional and she gets that I require some very specific, targeted guidance in the form of a tactical plan that can be implemented without much thought. No other coach or trainer has been able to do that for me. I've also got to point out that I was pleased and surprised to find that we could talk about the heavy, personal stuff that contributes to bad eating habits; pretty much a form of therapy. She's warm, genuine and, when necessary, can kick some ass. A rare combo. I highly recommend her."
James Shephard, President of Vetrazzo
"With Stacey's support I was able to get honest with myself about the ways that I use sugar and over eating to hide from painful emotions. Eliminating sugar has helped me to clear away some of these old, self-destructive patterns and funnel that energy into creative self-expression."
-Kirra Swenerton, Dancer
"I have come a long way in the past four months in the women's group program. I am more confident, find pleasure in eating healthy, and do exercises that I enjoy. It is so wonderful to be taught by a woman that is pursuing her passion and to be surrounded by strong and loving women that are on their own paths. We supported each other in self-discovery and growth and truly accepted each other for who we were as well as who we longed to be. We experimented with food and made goals for areas of our life that needed improvement. Life is ever changing and so does our diet and our needs, Stacey understands that works with the individual and never says that you are doing anything you should not be. Even though it seemed like a stretch, I appreciated how much you charged. I had to realize that I deserved to learn how to take care of myself and I am worth it. I am so glad I took the course and recommend it to any woman that wishes to grow and learn how to take care of herself."
-Julia Thompson, Engineer
"Since doing the women's group program I'm more relaxed, my skin is better, and I'm breathing more deeply than I have in a years. I'm more aware of how foods make me feel and what it is that I want to eat to be well. My cooking is better. I broke a bad coffee habit and I gained confidence and hope."
-Sb, Client, Bicycle Enthusiast
"Stacey-You are such a smart and empowering woman! You helped me so much with your support. I got very good and helpful suggestions from you, and also "tuff love" when I needed a kick. While working with you, I learned to trust myself, and what my body really wants. Thank you Stacey, you are an amazing woman, and a fantastic health counselor!"
-Siv Sjoholm, Model, New York
"Stacey was the kind of conselor that was "meant to be" for me! Before working with her I was not as confident, concerned about issues with work and stress, family, and social life. Stacey has this really neat approach that is easy-going yet highly effective at the same time, a real talent. I really looked forward to our sessions and fufilling the recomendations she put forth for and with me. She was really a support and guide through some really rough times for me and I am truly grateful she has been there for me. She allowed me to find my own way - not pushing me one direction or another - which in the end proves to be a really self-sustaining way to work with a client. Her warmth, humor, sensitivity and smiles I could feel every session over the phone. I felt a real connection with her. She seemed to always have a great idea for me and helped me not be hard on myself - but go easy in this process of self-growth and achievement. Thank you Stacey!"
-Barbara Anderson, Foodie, Brooklyn, NY
"I really appreciate that this program does not just focus on food. You forced me to examine myself outside the box. Sometimes this was sooooo hard! But you also managed to put me at ease-even on the phone. Amazing! I would not hesitate to recommend working with you."
-Rachel Warner, Client, Grad Student
"The group program is full of surprises. I was really hesitant about spending the money at first, but I feel better than ever, I met great people and my self-image is no longer keeping me stuck."
-Rina Mallory, Executive Assistant
"Since working with Stacey I have lost 28lbs, and I am cooking more than ever. One of the best things I learned in this program is that being healthy doesn't have to take up all your time. It really helped to have someone keeping me accountable too. I always look forward to our sessions."
-DeeDee, Minneapolis
"Before working with Stacey, I never realized how important it is to be fully listened to and supported. I am so much more clear than I was a few months ago."
-Sarah Cohen, Personal Chef
"I wanted to share with you my wonderful experience over the last 10 months. I have always had a weight problem and although over the years I lost weight I never really looked deeper in terms of why I was overweight. Over the past 10 months I have lost 40 pounds. Working with you not only helped me keep the weight off- I was able to open up to you and get to some of the root of my overeating. You helped me be kinder to myself about my long hard journey with food. You helped me talk about it openly without shame and as a result I was able to feel more instead of “numbing myself.” Because of our work together I am in more control of what is going on for me emotionally and when I do overeat I am in the moment and am fully aware of what I am doing. As a result the overeating is less. One of the best things about working with you is that you never judged me. You shared some of your issues with me, which gave me hope that I could overcome some of mine. You have been such a delight in my life over the past 10 months and I am forever grateful for your kindness, insightfulness and knowledge. Thank you so much."
-Regina Durazzo, New York
"Stacey helped me to transition to a healthier way of eating. I now have an abundance of energy and more self-confidence. Her coaching style is supportive and challenging. Just what I needed to get my health back on track."
-Iryna Denga, Yoga Teacher
"Great recipes!"
-Pam Alexander
"I was really intimidated about cooking in new ways. This program helped me fall in love with healthy eating."
-PJ Santos, High School Teacher
"During the course of this program, I went through many transitions. Talking with Stacey always helped me to ground myself and come back to my reality. If it hadn't been for her, I may have gotten swallowed whole in the happenings of my life! She never made me feel as if I wasn't doing enough, and she never made me feel bad about where I was at. I always felt encouraged, and she always reminded me about what I have to offer, which is a lot!"
-Zoe Tomasi, Musician
"Well, I was one of the skeptical people when I started this program. I was just transitioning from the Standard American Diet, I was stressed out, no time to cook, and no energy. I have now been working with Stacey for 6 months. My life has completely changed. I am actually tasting my food, feeling satisfied at the end of meals, learning to shop and cook, and even share it with friends. Each session is very different but Stacey somehow connects it all together in a way that is easy to understand. My energy is up, I feel good, I am happier and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I now love vegetables."
-John Singer, Lawyer
