What people are saying about their work with Cheryl…

"I highly recommend Cheryl. I am in her 6-month program. I came to her with a list of things I wanted her to help me with, including losing weight and improving my energy level. She has guided me through a change in diet and other lifestyle changes which have improved my overall health.  Her encouragement and knowledge have given me the support I needed."

Amy Rubinstein, Advertizing Consultant, Narberth, PA

"I hasten to add my enthusiastic endorsement of Cheryl's holistic nutrition program! It's not just another "me too" approach to healthy eating.  Instead, Cheryl's novel program is aimed at creating a keen awareness of the all-encompassing, multidimensional role food plays in our daily lives and how to manage it in its various manifestations. Hence, her approach is part educational, part behavioral, psychological, and spiritual. Keenly discerning, empathetic and supportive, Cheryl's personal style facilitates the complex process of discovering and confronting the real reasons why our eating isn't healthy, then successfully tailors an individualized program that is both educational and uniquely empowering."

Ken Elsom, President, Genesis Consulting Partners, Chesterbrook, PA

"I wanted to follow up Cheryl's announcement about her program by putting in a plug for Cheryl's work in general -- not only her 8-session group which is based on the principles of a wonderful book she turned me on to, but also her 6 month personal program which I have been engaged in for three months now. The program is supportive and sustained over a long enough period of time to make possible some real changes in food choices, meal planning and even the act of eating -- it's great to have a coach and knowledgeable support person like Cheryl to help with these goals. The group sounds like another great option."

Michele Southworth, Psychotherapist & Divorce Mediator, Swarthmore, PA

"I, too, am enrolled in Cheryl's course. I was drawn to it initially because I learned that among her credentials, Cheryl had taken the Integrative Nutrition course in NYC that I had read about in a Pilates magazine. I was curious to know what she knew, as nutrition has been a hot topic for me since my late teens.

I was struggling to schedule the time for myself, but the endorsement from people who had worked with Cheryl pushed me to sign up for her class.  Not realizing there was a book involved, I skeptically thought, "great, another diet book...blah, blah blah."  But I have learned so much -- nothing I typically heard/read before -- a totally different perspective. I lost 10 pounds, but I have gained some back when I fell back into old behaviors a few weeks before Thanksgiving. Since yesterday I've been using the tools that I learned from Cheryl and I am enjoying and benefitting from being back on track."

Daune Ring, Detailed Environments, Owner, Warminster, PA

“I just completed Cheryl Berkowitz's eight-week series in December. The planning part is still a blur, but I think I committed to the group the day before the first meeting. I bought my book at the first meeting. I had a tendency to finish my homework on the way to each subsequent session.  Procrastination is my best honed tool of resistance. It could not stop the expansion in my consciousness around eating that I got from Cheryl's series. In Cheryl's group, I never felt judged or commanded. I felt that my presence there was honored.  Cheryl’s series supported me in trusting myself. Cheryl is a patient and compassionate counselor and teacher.  Registering for her program is like planning a surprise party for yourself.”

“I came to Cheryl at a very difficult transition point in my life and I will be forever grateful to her for helping me to work through it. Of course, the nutritional information that she offered was helpful and the pace at which we worked was easy to assimilate into my existing routine, but even more valuable was the care which she displayed as she patiently listened to the larger issues that effect eating habits and what we introduce into our bodies. Many of these contributing factors she refers to as “Primary Foods,” which illustrate and support her holistic approach. The body, mind and heart must be nourished in unison. Many thanks to Cheryl again! I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation who appreciates this approach!”

Associate Professor of Interior Design, Philadelphia, PA

 

Cheryl's event cooking…

"Cheryl has cooked for my 3-day residential workshops a number of times. Her menus are creative, carefully planned, extremely healthy, and delicious. The food is simply GREAT - delicious, nutritious, and different! She makes it so easy -- so low maintenance and pleasant, and she does it all with enthusiasm and a great attitude!"  

Julie Roberts, PhD, Organizational Development Consultant, Trainer & Energy Therapies Practitioner,  Pottstown, PA

"The food that Cheryl provides goes way beyond delicious. Its innate wholesomeness and the heart Cheryl infuses into every dish nourishes me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually."

Olivia Parr-Rud, President & CEO, OLIVIAGroup, Business Intelligence Strategist, Philadelphia, PA
