"I just completed the 21 day cleanse and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Janee does a terrific job of guiding you from wherever you are starting to discovering healthy ways of eating and how your body reacts to food. She is with you every step of the way with helpful suggestions and tips to over-coming any issues you encounter as you move through a well-guided process to eating more vegetables and raw foods. Prior to starting the cleanse, I was tired and couldn't seem to wake up throughout the day. 21 days later I have more energy, feel much better and am able to incorporate healthy suggestions that will help me stay this way."

Janee,
Thanks for the guidance you have provided over these past weeks. It has made a significant impact on my quality of life.
I found the "group" approach wonderful. It was great sharing the experience with the group and learning from the thoughts and questions of others.
I highly recommend your approach; and the program.

The detox program that Janee offers is truly life changing. The detox program is probably one of the best things I've ever done for my body (and mind.) Since I started the program a month ago, I've easily lost 15 pounds. And, a benefit I didn't expect...my mind is much clearer.
–Nancy

On April 21, 2002 I started a 21 day detox and cleanse program put together by Janee. I really just wanted to experience the feelings and kept an open mind for any changes to come to my mind or body. I was told there may be a shift on the way that I look at food. This was true within the first week. The program is truly life changing. I feel much calmer and with a lot more clarity.
–Clyde

(Janee has) helped me tremendously in changing my lifestyle so that I can live my life as healthy as possible. Each week of the program (she) provided me with an abundance of valuable information and support. (Her) gentle guidance help(ed) me beyond measure as I move(d) into the next step of a more healthy and revitalizing way of eating.
–Martha

The detox program with Janee's guidance was exactly what I needed (and my body needed) at a crucial time in my life. After suffering for over a year with fibrocystic breast condition (not a disease anymore i was told)--I was literally just a miserable 37 year old. I felt as If with every pain and lumpiness--it was it--the big "C" word. Doctors had suggestions, but no such relief. After finding her ad in the Lake County Women's Journal-- I felt this was what I had been reading about, either in books or on the internet, for a long time. I knew what I needed to do, just did not know where to begin. Janee has changed my life! Her guidance and knowledge made me feel powerful to this worrisome and painful condition. I can not thank her enough for teaching me what I feel everyone (WOMEN) should know when it comes to what we are putting in our bodies. Her detox program has changed me forever.

First of all I should put out that I’m a smoker, caffeine junky and connoisseur of crappy food. Starting with a shake in the morning, I would eat raw all day including nut pate and an array of fruits and vegetables. I know something must have been working because on day 3 it felt like I was buzzing all day long… I can tell you without a doubt how good I felt. I was never groggy. When my alarm went off in the morning it felt like I had been up for 4 hours already… The best thing was my focus… I always say I will try anything once. Well, this program must have helped because now I am doing it again 4 months later and looking forward to the results.

21 days. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about no meat, no dairy, no alcohol for 21 days but now on the other side I can say it was no problem and I have received so many benefits through the process. Not only do I now know that I can do it for 21 days, I also have been exposed to fabulous things like Kamut and Benotite clay and coconut water, and of course Raw Food. Even now that I have the choice of what to eat I find myself drawn to raw juices and a plate of tabouli! Me, who could not go without a piece of meat for more than 3 hours without becoming dizzy. My body is changing. My skin is changing, my butt looks smoother ( if you can believe it!) and I have a new found appreciation for natural, living raw foods. While I have no plans to swear off wine or the occasional steak at this point, I am excited to see where the journey takes me as I explore deeper into what is possible for my body and my health by focusing on Raw Food. I am excited to learn how to cook (uncook) with it and I am excited as I continue to watch my dancers body taking shape.
Thank you for your guidance and your wisdom.

I waited 3 months before writing this testimonial, making sure that this new way of eating would stick long after the official program ended. I began this new journey in life with great anticipation – learning about your detox program from my niece Donna, who just raved about how she feels and what she accomplished during the group cleansing program. I thought I would give it a try – I just didn’t like what I was putting into my mouth and knew I had to learn a new way of eating. I contacted you and decided that a one-on-one program would work best for me. I started with the 21 day detox program then moved into raw eating 100% after that. The results are wonderful!

I found that I have more energy, my skin is smoother, I lost 27 pounds since I started eating raw foods, and I am still loosing. I have mixed some things like the morning shake with eating lots of veggies during the day has helped me focus on keeping healthy through eating right. My husband just loves this way of eating – he was borderline vegan, and now that we are vegans, life is good.

Thank you for your knowledge and support through this life changing event. You are truly a professional and I highly recommend this program to anyone. Hind sight – wish I knew about your program a long time ago, but I may have not been receptive then. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Janee’s detox program at Creative Healing Center was a wonderful experience for me. I felt energized, healthy, and highly focused during the 21 days. Although the plan was structured, I never felt pressured to follow a strict regimen and was always encouraged to follow my own body’s cues. Such support allowed me the freedom to try new foods and adopt a lifestyle that I never thought I could manage previously. I lost 12 pounds during the program, and continue to lose weight as I effortlessly let go of unhealthy foods that I previously believed I couldn’t live without. Sincerely,
–Melanie McGee Getrost

I just wanted to say thank you again for coming out to speak at our facility.  I was blown away by how informational and relatable your talk was.   It was amazing.  I have gotten SO much positive feedback from it.  Not only that, but today, two of the girls I work with came in with those smoothies for breakfast.  You have already started changing lives.                                               -Kristen C                                                     

NOW-June 2008: My new life began with Janee’s 21-day detox/cleanse in February, 2008. My skin glows, as does my smile. My energy level far exceeds that of much younger people. I weigh 35 pounds less, I wear mediums instead of XXL, and I have a very different relationship with food!

THEN-Dec 2007: I listened with great interest as my dear friend, Deirdre, shared her detox/cleanse experience during her 21 day experience last year, and heard myself telling her I would be interested in trying it the next time it was offered. When the day arrived, I was a bit less enthused, and a bit more skeptical. I had been a vegetarian for over 30 years; “Queen of Carbs”: would be a better label. After all, what does a vegetarian eat when it is time to grab and go? Bread, pasta, cheese. What could be new in the food world? But, Deirdre had never led me down a bad path, so I kept my commitment.

On the first night, I wrote the check, chose a spot in the room a bit outside the circle, and opened my skeptical listening ears. I work in wellness. I’ve heard it all and tried most of it. I’ve eaten grapefruit until I turned yellow, and cabbage soup until I was red! I’ve counted points, lived on protein shakes, and defrosted my share of prepared meals in little packages all in the name of better health. Okay, so now I was switching to green food. I left the “cleanse class” that evening with the intent to start the process, the supplies I needed to do so, and “well, we’ll see” attitude.

The next day, Deirdre called to be supportive and ask how I was doing. “Great!”, I told her. “Only 20 and ½ more days to go”. We both laughed as I pressed the button on the blender for my first smoothie. I tasted it, and thought, “Wow!, “I can do this”. It was time to feel better, and if this delicious drink can get me there, this would be great! I grabbed a chilled bottle of pure water and some Green Kamut for the road, and left for work.

The cleanse is not about the weight loss. I lost some weight the first week, but by then I didn’t care. I was feeling better. Food was tasting better. I was moving away from carbs and seeking fresh foods.

The second week I added fresh juices as recommended. Again, WOW! Who knew how wonderful cucumber, carrots and a bit of granny smith apple could taste in a glass! Let the experimenting with other vegetables begin! (PS: Avocado and banana do NOT go through the juicer!)

The weight loss had slowed, but I had begun to melt. My clothing became progressively larger, and not in direct proportion to the weight loss. Today, I look and feel younger. A soon-to-be-bride stopped me the other day to ask how I make my skin glow! I happily told her it wasn’t a bottle of make-up and directed her to www.aliveone.net !

Last night I made yet another batch of my new favorite snack: dehydrated kale and sweet potato chips. It’s a whole new world; a whole new relationship with food; a whole new, healthier, happier me. And PS: my fiancé has lost 30 pounds, never travels without chia seeds, raw nuts, and Vitamineral Green, is a pro at making fresh juices, and our stove is taking a long needed vacation!
