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.

For quiet sometime I listen to Immacula talk about the best way to improve health and lose weight was not to diet but to change ones life style. Basically, she suggested eating healthy, consuming certain herbal supplements and exercise.
Immacula’ s approach to the life style change was not a hard sell. It was her willingness to share information.
Although, I was never significantly overweight, my weight had started to increase as I approached my mid to late fifties. Gradually I incorporated some of Immacula’ s recommendations into my daily eating habits, started using herbal supplements and continued my exercise activities.
To my surprise (not to Immacula’ s) I lost 12lbs (167lbs to 155lbs),my blood pressure drop, and my energy level increased significantly. In addition, my family, friends and business associates constantly compliment me on how good and youthful I look It really started to get out of hand when a classmate said I still look the same as when we where seniors. That is particularly important as I approach my 60Th birthday.
Thank you Immacula for your concern advise and continued support.

She has marked the path in such a way that those who choose to may follow beside her or at a slower pace; either way her way to wellness and good health is contagious and infectious in a positive way. Even I can and have followed!!!!

I was faced with a health challenge and needed to rethink my way of living. I was exploring several methods. Immacula, a long time friend, approached me with the idea of eating raw for a cure. I was initially skeptical especially regarding the palatability Immacula invited me to a weekend retreat… and boy I was surprised and impressed. I immediately incorporated aspects into my way of living and the results are tremendous…more energy…weight control…clearer skin… regulated bowels.
I went from an unbelieving physician to a converted physician. Thank you Immacula for caring about my life!

Immacula truly understands the importance of good nutrition for healthy hair. When I first came to her salon I was in poor health which affected the absorption of nutrients into my body. Immacula was able to detect an iron insufficiency immediately, simply from examining my hair and scalp. With her help and suggestions I visited my doctor and was able to improve my hair and body’s condition with iron supplements. Taking care of my hair from the nutritional standpoint was the best thing Immacula could have suggested.

Immacula’s personality is such that when she speaks to you she has a calming effect. Her wealth of information and her method of presenting information to you makes you want to listen give it some thought, try it! Immacula makes you feel relaxed; you don’t feel patronized. You welcome her interest in your situation and her insightfulness. She urges without being pushy and inspires without being preachy.

With an open mind and dedication, we can retrain our taste buds to break eating habits of certain types of food that we are use to which are toxic; we can be sure to achieve successful changes.
