TESTIMONIALS
Alison, thanks again SO VERY MUCH for the extraordinary life-changing week and for sharing the wealth of your learning, research and experience with us. I am moving slowly and enjoying every meal deeply. My husband is 100% behind the conscious eating and we have one hand on heart, and one on belly at the beginning of each shared meal. Caffeine is cut to 10% and I'm not missing salt at all. Paula July 2010
Alison, I did your retreat over a year ago. I went in being skeptical and came out feeling the best I have in years! Sarah July 2010
Hi Alison--I loved your course. You have a wonderful gift to share and do it well. Your compassion was evident in so many little details. I am doing very well. Not too hungry and being very mindfull. Caran July 2010
Hello Alison, I wanted to let you know how much I benefited from my time with you at Kripalu last month. The cleansing was pervasive in every way; body, mind, spirit. I thank you so much for your wisdom and support. Fran April 2010
Dear Alison – It was wonderful to be part of this group last week. You and your team were so supportive,
gracious, and light-hearted, the
juices were fresh and delicious, and I learned so much useful information from
your presentations, particularly the one on the last day on food.
Dear Alison--I’ve been past Kripalu many times before but had never visited until now. Kripalu has a peace and
respect for silence and inner work which is memorable, and will bring me back
again. The setting is spectacular and the
solidity of those extraordinary conifers (did you know that the energy field of
a stand of pines can bring the human energy field into balance quite quickly?)
remarkable. Thank you for deepening and continuing your valuable work,
and for bringing it so gently to the world. With appreciation and MUCH more clarity! Susan April 2010
Dear Alison, The September Cleansing Retreat was so deeply nurturing for me, The good effects and influence lasted, quite remarkably, up through my recent trip to Europe. I withstood the likes of chocolate and pastries, and cheeses, and breads, and wines, etc. with relative ease. I was there for three weeks and I managed to be quite flexible but also relatively disciplined with food, just a few indulgences here and there.
Thank you again. Karolina September 2009
Dear Alison--I am feeling so much better since I completed the juice detox. I cannot imagine that it could have been better organized and executed. My roommate at Kripalu told me that my face lost 10 years during the 3 day weekend. I hope to do the workshop again next year with my niece in tow. I want to add that the part of the program I valued most was information about food and the whys of eating certain things. Carolyn B. March 2009
I now understand how to take better care of myself nutritionally and how to be more tuned in
to the needs of my body. I am letting go of having to be perfect. I can identify
when I am off-balance and I have so many new tools to come back to well-being. Kirsten T, Lawyer Feb 2009
I feel reconnected with my body and now want to honor it and its wisdom. This
connection is making me feel more grounded and more comfortable
standing my ground. I will create a more uncluttered life style and
slow down to pay attention to what has heart and meaning, I will “weed
out” my home to of clutter and NOISE all the time. I will listen to my
body and honor it with daily hatha yoga. The care compassion and loving
attention was deeply appreciated. I believe the love is what made 5
days of fasting so nourishing. Judy L, Administrator Nov 2008
I learned a different approach to food and
chewing. I will incorporate meditation and breathing into my life,
being more open to my own inner feelings, allowing them, honoring them,
and moving through them. Jill T, Psychologist Oct 2008
Dear Alison
Thank you so much for your
teachings, inspirational tools for eating with "awareness" and all your
helpful hints around food cravings and healthy eating. I personally
had an emotional breakthrough that has made a lasting difference. I
hope to see you at another purification retreat as it was profound for
me! MaryJane J. October 2008
I
got so much more than I expected from this retreat. My mindset has
changed so that I now treat eating as a way of honoring myself -- my
energy level, my physical well-being -- rather than something I have to
control in order to stay thin. This was a very important and meaningful
experience for me. Sharlotte E, Director of Finance August 2008
The
most important message I am taking home is to listen to my body. I
definitely enjoyed not having to think about shopping for or preparing meals. It was wonderful having my simple meals
presented to me in such a loving way. I enjoyed the wealth of
information given and connecting with the other participants. It was a
pleasure being with you and the staff. You were all so knowledgeable
about the cleansing process and the body/mind/spirit connection to
eating. Everyone was helpful and the experience was positive. Bev P,
Teacher May 2008
Dear
Alison, I just wanted to thank you again for your supportive and
nurturing way of getting us thru our detox and on to cleaner living!!!
Getting back home went well. I have spent the last week continuing to
eat simple grains, broth, salads, almonds and some animal proteins. I
feel fabulous! I have chosen to stay off of dairy, wheat, sugar and
caffeine for awhile longer. This will be the first extended time that I
am off of dairy. I have great energy and cherish most the ability to
nourish myself with mindful eating, yogic breathing and attuning to my
senses. It has been most life altering! Thanks again, Love Mary M May 2007
