My evening food cravings are finally in control!
"So much has changed for the better since working with Sandra. Sugar plays a much smaller role in my life now and my evening food cravings are finally in control. I learned that I can even enjoy chocolate in a healthy way and that was a welcome surprise. The pampering body scrub with essential oils was just what I needed when I got home from work in the evening so that I didn't feel the need to comfort myself with food.
In addition, I simply LOVE my "new" bed! I am sleeping better and have a lot more energy. Thank you so much for helping me to fix my bedroom environment so that it would be conducive to sleep.
I am also enjoying walks in nature now and eating a wonderful variety of nutritious foods. The healthy recipes were great!
As an added bonus, I am now prepared for my life as an empty nester along with all the challenges that this new stage of life brings. Instead of having a gloomy outlook about my future, I am looking forward to my future with new joy and excitement.
Having Sandra as my coach was the best possible choice I could have made at this time in my life because of her enthusiastic and vibrant approach to life. Her energy is contagious!
Believe it or not, as a result of coaching with Sandra, I have even gained an inner strength to help me in the work environment."

I slept straight through the night for the first time in years
"One of the biggest changes I experienced while working with Sandra is dramatically improved sleep. I had been suffering from sleep deprivation for many years. It even began affecting my short-term memory. Sandra shared her knowledge and resources about improving sleep, I implemented a few of the recommendations that were pertinent to me, and I began sleeping through the night without interruption. In the morning, upon awakening, I even smiled because I had slept well for the first time in years.
The six month program gave me the time to focus on myself. Normally, my
personal time is dedicated to family members. It was refreshing to be able to concentrate on how to improve the quality of my life in small increments that were achievable.
With regard to my diet, I began drinking more herbal tea instead of coffee and soda, I started eating more fruits and vegetables, and my overall food awareness increased substantially. The breakfast experiment taught me how different foods impact my energy level. My personal food store tour was eye-opening! The tour exposed me to new choices of foods that I have since integrated into my daily life.
Sandra created a safe space for me to focus on my diet, life and dreams. It was so refreshing to have time to spend on me for a change."

My energy increased and my afternoon sugar cravings disappeared
"I learned so much from Sandra as my coach and the Simply Living Healthy program. First, I thought that I already knew a lot about nutrition before I began the program; however, I soon realized that there was a lot more for me to learn. The program helped me identify key foods that had been missing from my diet. I also learned how to prepare healthy food quickly.
Sandra helped me find ways to create time in my busy life to focus on my health. As a result, I began getting more rest, started exercising more regularly, and learned about some simple ways to relax. My energy increased, my headaches lessened, and my afternoon sugar cravings disappeared. I strongly recommend this program to anyone who would like to lead a healthy life but who has not been successful doing it on his/her own.
I liked the program so much, I had Sandra work with my children to improve their diets and to educate them about the benefits of healthy eating. My children are now much more conscious of the food choices they make. In addition, they are eating some new, healthy foods including the green, leafy vegetable kale!"

I am eating healthier, exercising more and losing weight
"Sandra helped me make significant changes as part of my being fit and healthy for life. At our phone sessions, she listened to my concerns and barriers to change, provided support and information, and ended our sessions with one or two action items for me to focus on. As a result, I now sleep better, am eating healthier, exercising more and smarter, losing weight, and have some tools for dealing with stress differently. Thank you Sandra!"

I felt light with good, smooth energy, and I lost 5 pounds during the cleanse!
"I was really glad I took the plunge and did a cleanse under Sändra's brilliant and reassuring tutelage. Although it was not my primary goal, I did lose 5 pounds. The more important thing for me was how I felt once my body had adjusted to no sugar and dairy. I felt light with good, smooth energy and no bloating or indigestion.
What was great about this program is that we ramped up gradually before the 3-day cleanse and then there was specific advice on how to come out of the cleanse and back into a new pattern of eating.
I also liked that we had recipes that took all the thought about what to make for meals out of it, right down to a shopping list! And the recipes were delicious, easy and they used ingredients that were readily available. Most of the recipes have been taped into my loose leaf recipe notebook - only the best go there - and I am still using them.
I would definitely recommend the program to anyone who wanted to learn more about what makes them tick food-wise, perhaps even break some bad habits, pinpoint any food sensitivities and even lose a little weight.
The cleanse left me feeling good about myself and you cannot find a better guide than Sändra. She loves what she does and is generous with her advice, knowledge and positive encouragement. Thanks Sändra!"

You really educated me during our sessions and continue to inspire me with your upbeat Healthy Beats!
"I was reviewing my 2010 life last evening, and of course, you came up in a significant way. Not only did you really educate me last year in our sessions, but, through these email newsletters you continue to inspire me to remember my health, get inspired by your walking plans or recipes, and just stay in touch with this side of my life which I know would fall aside if not for you and your upbeat Healthy Beats!
So, this email note is just to say thank you and GOOD JOB! I will look forward to staying in touch with you and hope to work together sometime in the future.

I easily found myself down about 15 pounds
"I worked with Sandra last spring when I registered for a group cleanse that lasted two weeks and enthusiastically extended my work with her an extra 5 weeks to get some more of the good that was happening. In January I was at a scary peak weight for me, 191 pounds. In March when we started the cleanse, I was 188 and holding fast. At the end of our time together, I easily found myself at 173.4 pounds.
The most important thing that I experienced for myself was the chance to explore and change habits that affected my weight, movement, and spirit negatively. I got guidelines from Sandra and I got support. Her program encouraged empowerment. I love all that I gained from working with Sandra and doing the spring cleanse."
