Her sound advice and knowledge helped me be more conscious when choosing my foods which has led to better sleep, less hormonal issues and a loss of 8 lbs...wow...most importantly, I feel great!"

Thank you so much for leading me through the cleanse. I had set forth a goal to overcome a lifetime of less-than-stellar eating habits, and this was the perfect start. The personalized advice you gave me to create successful eating strategies helped me through the cleanse and beyond. I appreciate what a great resource you are in so many aspects of healthful living- from running a healthy household to gardening to yoga to shopping for food. I am feeling great and fitting much better into my jeans! Thank you!" |

After several weeks going from one cold and viral infection to another, I felt that my immune system seemed to be depleted and made the decision to visit Angela. Within a few short weeks, I began to feel so much healthier: no colds or virus, lots of energy and a healthier attitude overall. One of the best outcomes was having my eczema clear up by almost 90% - after seeing so many doctors about my eczema, I was amazed that it started to clear up almost immediately! This has been a very positive experience - not only is my health restored, but I have been trying new foods with easy recipes, getting back to walking and working with a wonderful, supportive nutritionist." "I have been steadily losing weight and can now fit into some of my clothes woo hoo! Soon I will fit into all of them. My feet are pain free, and I can exercise as I wish. I am successfully navigating my husband's nutritional needs and my own. Our new diets require more planning time & effort, but I can live with it. In short, life is good. I appreciate all the help during the life changes for both my husband and myself."
— Laurel P., Orinda, CA Angela, the dinner resulting from out family cooking lesson with you was fantastic! The best part was the conversations that sprouted from the experience of cooking together. There was an excitement about what changes we can make from what we learned. It really helped for everyone to have a part. We have tried tilapia again and it was good. I love that Matt is eating fish! Both kids are willing to try some new dishes. I made an asian chicken wrap this week. That was a hit! The awareness of what makes a healthy dinner, and how each person can have a say in the planning and cooking have been the biggest changes around dinner time. Both kids want to plan meals, and they are making healthy choices. |
Angela's coaching and teaching with food has changed my family's life. She first began working with my 23 year old son who was suffering terribly from digestive issues mostly due from poor eating habits and stress. She taught him ways to bring healthy, delicious choices into his diet, and was available when he had questions and concerns. He is now doing 1000% better and looks and feels wonderful. Angela has also helped me personally with using my diet to support menopause. We continue to work together regularly and her coaching has helped my hot flashes and other symptoms tremendously by using the right foods and supplements rather than drugs. She comes to my yoga studio once or twice a year to run a 'cleansing workshop.' It is always so well-received and participants walk away feeling empowered, healthy and full of vitality. Her suggestions are easy and very doable. You don't have to buy some special brand of food or supplements that she only sells, what she suggests is very practical and acceptable. I am so grateful to know her and have her expertise in my life."
— Sandy C., Brentwood, CA I very much enjoyed the wonderful tips you gave in our Nourishing You class, the eye opening list of many toxins I had never thought about, and I absolutely loved all the recipes and lists of clean foods. This class put me on the right track. THANK YOU Angela! You are truly wonderful and passionate with teaching others about healthy living!” "I should also mention that Angela offers video-chat (i.e. Skype) appointments, which has been helpful since my college is several hours away from her office in Danville."
— Rob S., Isla Vista, CA " Angela, thank you very much for your presentation last night! I think everyone enjoyed the information you shared and really appreciated the practical, usable tips you gave, as well as the friendly, open way you presented your expertise and suggestions. I know I am hanging onto my shoppers guide to pesticides in produce to guide me in my future purchases!" — N. Gayler, co-founder, Sustainable Danville Area |
"I've been working with Angela for the past 6+ months. I started working with her part of the way through my senior year of high school, and now I'm in college. Initially, I was hoping that she would provide a specific list of what I should and should not eat. However, she had a much better approach: Instead, she has helped me develop the skills I need to make these decisions myself, in any particular environment, which means I will have these skills for the rest of my life, and I will not be bound to a specific list of foods or any specific, rigid diet.
She has helped me learn to identify what foods contain certain nutrients and has taught me to select combinations of foods that contain the complete spectrum of nutrients I need to stay healthy, without eating too many calories. She has also recommended foods and meal timings (i.e. when to eat meals) that will work to balance my insulin levels and maintain a stable blood sugar throughout the day, and she has helped me figure out what amount of water I should drink on a daily basis and what vitamins I should take, based on a blood test I had a few weeks prior to calling Angela. For me, she only recommended one specific vitamin, not the cocktail of vitamin recommendations I have read about on the Internet.
Overall, I have found Angela to be an expert in her field (nutrition and wellness) who has provided me with invaluable advice. Successful weight loss (or achieving any other dietary goal) will require adherence to Angela's advice and recommended best practices. For me, that meant (in part) that I had to stop feasting at late hours and (occasionally) binging on chocolate chip cookies. Of course, Angela also has some tips on how to manage cravings, but ultimately it is up to each person to take accountability and follow her advice.
If you're looking to lose weight, without going on a strict exercise regime (she has helped me lose weight without spending hours a week exercising beyond biking a few miles to classes each day), and you are willing to do the work, then I would highly recommend that you consult with Angela.
I should also mention that Angela offers video-chat (i.e. Skype) appointments, which has been helpful since my college is several hours away from her office in Danville."
