Hello my name is Jennifer and I started with Immacula in mid September and lost a total of 25 pounds in 8 weeks. It was easy to follow and found it very successful. This Lifestyle has made me healthier than I have ever been in my life. I feel and look wonderful and so happy that I got the opportunity to have Immacula in my life. She has inspired me to keep fit and keep myself in shape. I was supposed to go to the gym 3x a week and actually never went to the gym. I would up losing the weight strictly from eating properly and sticking to her program! I must say it definitely works and would recommend her to anyone who wants to lose weight and keep it off! It’s now January and I'm down another 15 pounds and able to enjoy the foods I love to eat! Thank you Jennifer Fried

I find that when I start doubting my capabilities or get in negative mode about my idea -- all I have to do is talk to you AND: Your positive thought process brings me back from uncertainty....you share quotes like the meaning of FEAR or some other anecdote and I feel clarity and again start to feel that "YES I CAN" accomplish whatever I'd like to set out to do!! Your advice on cutting it down to smaller pieces and visualizing what I want brings hopeful thoughts and I take some sort of action now, no matter how small.... Something about my personality or upbringing (not sure which) makes it easy for me to see things as improbable to impossible a lot of times...Like it's too much for little ol' me to take on...BUT then you say it's out in the UNIVERSE for me and all I have to do is reach out for it and it does seem attainable... SO, don't stop talking to me, OKAY??? You and I are back in touch for a REASON!!!

What can I say about my experience with Immacula? I have learned so much spiritually and physically about my health and myself. Since about 5th grade I had been husky. As I got older weight was such a traumatic things for me. I tried going to the gym, taking weight-loss supplements, salad diets, lemonade diets, grapefruit diets, and the not-eat-anything-all-day-and-overeat-at-dinnertime diet. I was losing the weight but I was not keeping it off and when I gained back sometimes it would be more than I lost. I was expressing my concern with my weight to my dentist, Dr. Nikki Bell and she said she knew the perfect person to help me. Dr. Bell took my information and a few weeks later Immacula called. From the first phone call I became excited about what Immacula and I could do together. I was ready for a new me inside and out. The first week I lost 13 pounds!! YES THIRTEEN!! At the end of two weeks I had lost 19 pounds!! Before the end of my first week people started noticing I was losing weight. I hadn’t even paid much attention yet. The things Immacula had me to change in my diet were very doable. I ate real food however I was learning what food was better to eat, how food affected my body, as well as how to prepare the foods. Some of the combinations seemed weird at first. Once I prepared them I was so amazed to find out how tasty the combinations were. I was getting all my nutrients and vitamins straight from natural foods. Immacula provided with tons of information and the support. It is hard not to succeed with her positive enthusiasm around you all the time. My goal was to lose 75 pounds in a year and 15-20 pounds by my birthday, which was in September. I started with Immacula the week before July 4th weekend. Even with the array of food presented to me that weekend I was still able to follow my plan. I wont say that the process was easy but Immacula was my shadow when I needed her. By week 3 I started going to the gym in addition to following the plan. At the end of my 6 weeks I had lost 30 pounds!! I was so amazed to go shopping to find out that I could fit a dress size 18-20 when only 6 weeks earlier I was in a size 24. Immacula gives so much information to guide you along your path. She never told me anything that she did not back up with resources for me to view myself. No matter what time of the day or night I called she was able to assist me. Even when I left a voicemail she called me back right away. She was an amazing support system. She provided me with a great deal of encouragement. I believe that learning is the most important part of weight loss. The information I was given will help me in the future to keep the pounds off. I will definitely work with her again in the future and would recommend anyone who is ready for a change in his or her life to try Immacula’s plan. Shakema Appleton, Age 25 Long Island, NY

I must have a cup of coffee every morning in order to function at optimal capacity. That’s what I thought until I tried Immacula’s detox program. I lost 21 pounds in 5 weeks on the detox program. It is not another diet fad, but a change of lifestyle. You have to make the decision to change your eating habits. I did not miss the coffee, neither the eggs, bacon and toast. These where replaced with raw foods. I did not realize that I can enjoy healthy, delicious meals; using raw fruits and vegetables while reaping remarkable benefits. The energy soup that consists of raw vegetables gave me the energy that I needed to perform all tasks. The additional fiber in my diet keeps things moving through the colon. It gives you the nutrients that the body needs while eliminating what the body does not need. It works! I have never felt better.

I was very skeptical about doing this detox. Especially when I heard about the length of it. But one day at Immacula's, I had the opportunity to speak with one of Immacula's clients who was in the process of doing the cleanse. She had nothing but positive things to say about it, so I decided to give it a try.
The first week was hard. Hard because I didn't particularly like eating vegetables and it was very hard to see others eating things that I craved.
Immaucla played a big part with keeping me on track. Whenever I called with my frustrations, she was always available to give helpful techniques, and pointers that encouraged me thru. I am proud to say that at 21 pounds lighter, I'm glad I stuck with the program. While doing the cleanse I felt so much more energetic, I wasn't sluggish and I was introduced to a new way of eating. I am much more aware of when I am full, and I don't find myself over eating any more. I will definitely do this detox again, and would encourage anyone who wants an improved lifestyle to try it.

I asked Immacula about the health program because I have been on high blood pressure pills for years. And, I wanted to get off of them. I started to see some side effects from the blood pressure pills....effects on my kidneys. I knew, it was time to do something. I met with Immacula and we discuss details about the program. During the program, my blood pressure was lower than what medicine ever kept it. I couldn't believe! I went days and even a week without taking my blood pressure pills. That's a major accomplishment for me. And, of course, losing 16 lbs effected my overall health. That's nothing to squeeze about.

I started the health/detox program in April. I was a little leary about doing the program but my mom wanted me to do it with her. Also, I really wanted to lose some weight. In 4 weeks, I lost 22 lbs. I was amazed. I have tried other programs but none of them gave me the results as this one. This program gave me a great start to losing the rest of the weight I need to lose. I learned about about food and other things to do to remain healthy. I make better choices in my food selection and live better.

Anyone who knows Immacula knows the amount of research and planning she commits to health and wellness. Her holistic approach is what makes her techniques so effective. When I began my journey, I had grown frustrated with trying to lose 20lbs since my metabolism had started to slow down in my late twenties. And although I had known about Immacula's work for some time, I also knew that I had to really be READY and not just do this half-heartedly. Since starting three weeks ago, I am only seven pounds away from goal. More importantly than the weight loss has been the realization that I can have a different relationship with food once I put my mind to it. The key is finding that delecate balance, and this was my first step in exploring that.

Before starting on this program, I was always tired. If I had skipped a meal or if it had been a while since I had eaten, I would become grouchy and almost irate. The first few weeks were hard for me but they proved well worth it. My entire mentality surrounding food has changed I went from living to eat to eating to live. My stomach almost completely flattened in about 2 weeks and my energy went through the roof!! So far I have lost 25 lbs and I am well on my way to becoming "me" again and I have Immacula, to thank for it!!

You name a diet and I have tried it, from pills to starvation - I even had bouts with bulimia in college. But without fail, I would reach a new high on the scale each year since I was 22 (I am now 28). This year I reached 180 pounds on my 5'5" frame - I felt hopeless and angry. My weight was directly affecting my perception of myself and my capabilities. I was tired all the time and simply couldn't stop eating bread, rice and pasta (the trinity that helped get to be a size 14).
Feeling like I had nothing to lose, I did Immacula's raw food cleanse for 28 days and I lost 24 pounds. There were days that were challenging but I made it. It has been 6 weeks since I ended the cleanse and I have applied what I learned to the way I eat on a daily basis. Now, I eat 50% raw foods and I have virtually no cravings (meaning I can eat chocolate, bread and cheese in moderation - something I could NEVER do before!). I have continued to lose weight but at a slower rate since I ended the cleanse. Most importantly, I feel more energetic when I get up in the morning and I have a more positive self image from the inside out. I may not be at my goal weight yet but I am well on my way!
Immacula's gentle support, knowledge, patience and desire for me to succeed was critical in ending my yo-yo dieting. She never let me off the hook and I am forever in debt to her for it. Your body is a gift ... and this can be your gratitude.
