Carolyn Akens, I want to publicly thank you for guiding, sharing your loving heart and wisdom to my Goddaughter. The love we have for you is grand. God has blessed you with a beautiful heart. The eating habits, her health and her interaction with food all changed drastically. I told her I was sending her to someone I trusted and I have faith in Carolyn Akens health and wellness coaching. Although I have not seen you face to face, I still see your light.

Carolyn Akens’ Spring & Summer Detox programs quickly got my mind and body in tune and I am more seriously focused now on maintaining optimum health and wellness. The highly educational program armed me with a wonderful toolbox of food plans, special recipes, tips, factual information, online support via coaching by Carolyn and an online forum with other participants. I was able to cleanse my body of toxins, lose weight, feel considerably more energized, and I walked away motivated and determined to continue with a truly healthy lifestyle. I actually lost cravings and the desire for the foods that were contributing to health problems and weight gain. I proved to myself what mind over matter can accomplish. Its been several months since the detox and I have continued the principles and concepts learned in the Spring Detox. I am committed to doing upcoming detox programs because I fully see their value and welcome new, additional information and excellent coaching provided by Carolyn. I would highly recommend the Detox program to anyone interested in enjoying all the benefits of a healthier body & lifestyle that ultimately can lead to living a longer and happier life.

This Spring I had the opportunity to detox with Carolyn. I have never worked with anyone before, so I had no idea what to expect. Carolyn is organized and gives you more than enough information ensuring that you have a good detox experience.
I follow a plant-based diet, but I was confused about how to eat a plant-based diet. There are many experts out here and they all believe their diet is the best diet. I experimented with different ways of eating a plant-based diet and I never settled on any one way.
It wasn’t until I detoxed with Carolyn, that I really understood how I need to follow a plant-based diet. A light bulb came on and I had an ‘aha’ moment, because I knew exactly what I needed to do and how I would do it. I now understand that we are all different and that one diet does not fit all.
My experience detoxing with Carolyn was a wonderful experience. I followed the detoxing guide and learned so much about myself and about food. Carolyn’s recipes are clean, healthy and delicious. The foods she recommends were cleansing, detoxing, and healing.
At the beginning of the detox, I didn’t feel so well. I let Carolyn know the issues I was having and she told me exactly what I needed to do. I followed her recommendations and as a result the rest of the detox was a breeze.
Carolyn has a way of pushing you without even pushing. How she does it, I don’t know. Whenever, I had questions, she always answered and steered me in the right direction. I was not alone during the detox, because Carolyn was walking right by my side every step of the way.
Detoxing is something that everyone should do. It is always best to work with someone, if you can, because it will help you understand the detoxification process.
I recommend that you work with Carolyn Akens, because she is passionate about health. You can never go wrong working with someone who loves what they do. Now that’s someone I will work with in a heartbeat. Carolyn loves what she does and as a result she not only gives her best, but her all.
Thank you Carolyn, for being such an amazing person. You are truly a jewel that everyone needs to see.
Blessings and much success to you,

"I don't think I've EVER learned so much in 2 short weeks! Your Spring detox enriched my life in so many ways. It challenged me and changed me...I thank you and my body thanks you! From the daily elixir, soothing baths, and probiotic (which I will now never do without) to the vision board and daily Facebook interactions, they all added so much value to my life. I poured over every document, every email, every post, and every link you shared. I was like a sponge! And it was worth it - worth the time, the investment and the effort. I feel better, my skin looks better-no more bloating, fatigue or sugar crashes- and I have new habits that I will use forever! You are a blessing, Carolyn Akens. THANK YOU just doesn't seem like enough..."

My name is Patricia, and I want to tell you about my wonderful experience with Ms. Carolyn Akens--Chef, Health Coach, and Raw Food Educator. Through a mutual friend, I met Ms. Carolyn—just in time to start the 2014 Spring Detox Program. I have been a vegetarian/vegan for many years; however, I thought I knew how to create a meal plan for myself, and balance my foods properly. Wow! Was I wrong! I learned so much just in 11-days. Ms. Carolyn really was really a God-send because she taught the group how to eat clean, healthy, wholesome foods. Throughout the 11-day program, Ms. Carolyn guided and encouraged the group with her love and support. She would post information within the forum, and lovingly answered questions whenever we had them. The recipes were delicious and easy to prepare. Most importantly, the contents of the “manual” that she provided electronically was well put together, and included so much information that can be (and will be) used for a lifetime. The detox program helped me to feel so much better. It gave me increased energy, and I slept better. I lost a few inches too.
I thoroughly enjoyed learning from and growing with Ms. Carolyn. She has been more than a Chef, Health Coach, and Raw Food Educator. Ms. Carolyn has been a friend and an inspiration in my life.
Thank you Ms. Carolyn!

Since I have been following your tips to a healthy and better lifestyle, I have lost 14 pounds and dropped down two sizes!! Keep those tips coming! Thank you Carolyn!

Working with Carolyn Akens has been a joy on so many levels. One of my main goals in working with Carolyn was that I wanted to lose weight. I had previously been diagnosed as pre-diabetic and told that I needed to lose weight. My other goal was I just wanted to eat healthier because I always felt better when I did so. I had often tried various diets and eating plans, but was never successful on them for more than a few days.
After working with Carolyn, I have both lost weight (13 lbs) and transformed my eating habits to much healthier fare, and I feel better! Carolyn masterfully guided me in transitioning my diet to a “clean” one – to nutritious and unprocessed foods. She did this with her materials, recipes, her knowledge and wisdom, and her constant and loving encouragement. I feel so blessed to have learned from Carolyn and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to lose weight and eat healthier.

I have to share my experience, Carolyn Akens, has offered support, compassion, understanding and advice. I decided to embark upon the Winter Detox that she offered; it was fantastic. Carolyn was with us step by step, guiding and supporting us every step and process each day. Carolyn was consistent, gentle, kind and respectful to our lack of knowledge. She understood our triggers and gave us insight to why we were experiencing the different symptoms, once she learned of the discomfort that we were experiencing through the detox, Carolyn rendered her many years of expertise and patience.
I highly recommend Carolyn Akens as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and mentor. Thank you Carolyn Akens, for being a loving and knowledgeable coach.

I came into this program thinking that I had a fair amount of knowledge on detoxing but it was this program that changed my life. I use to call myself the constipation queen, I know that’s nothing to be proud of but it was the truth. During the program not only did I lose weight, I lost that constipation grip that was holding on to my body. I know now what regularity feels like once again…I have dropped the constipation from my name, now I am just a queen! The detox program gave me several ways to detox and not the usual one quick fix. I’ve tried a lot of products, only to receive marginal success. This is definitely not your average program. I would recommend this program for anyone, even if you have a so-called healthy diet. Thanks so much Carolyn, you have been more than a blessing.

I am so pleased to have completed the detox program developed by Carolyn Akens, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. Upon completion of the detox, I definitely had more energy, lost weight and I have continued to feel fantastic. The in-depth manuals, daily e-mails, and weekly conference calls provided by Carolyn increased my knowledge and motivation tremendously and helped to ensure my success with the detox program. I can clearly see the results of releasing toxins and cleansing internally and will carry the information gained with me for the rest of my life. I plan to cleanse periodically for continued health and well-being. Many thanks to Carolyn Akens.

“I completed Carolyn’s Detox program and let me just say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I know that that may sound strange about a detox but it really was. Unlike other cleanses that I’ve done, I feel that this one actually prepared me to continue living a healthier life. I realized that I actually can do this! And completing this detox program has given me the self-confidence to continue eating healthier and treating my body with the utmost respect. Physically, I have more energy and feel great on top of losing 10 lbs and lowering my bmi to a healthy range. I feel like I’ve entered the next chapter of my life and taken it to the next level. Carolyn, I thank you for such a great program that has inspired and motivated me on so many levels.”

Carolyn, I want you to know how thankful I am to have coached with you. What a revelation it was to find out my food archetype and to admit it was true. Coaching with you gave me the insight I needed about “me” and how to let go of the stuff that was enabling me not to lose weight. It is true, spirit, soul, and body all play a huge role. I am where I want to be (25 pounds lighter), and all is finally well with me. Thank you, Carolyn.
- Anita Hemingway, Kirkland, WA
Since coaching with Carolyn, I now know the reasons for my weight gain and sugar cravings. I had no idea all of the ways I had been sabotaging myself because I wasn’t ready to deal with certain issues, nor did I realize how stress impacts the body in a very negative way. Thank you for guiding me and believing in me, Carolyn, along this journey. I have lost those forty pounds that had plagued me for too long and it feels great. Going forward, I now have the tools that I need to keep the weight and sugar craving away. Carolyn, you are amazing!
- Evelyn R. Johnston, Hinsdale, IL
Carolyn, your detox programme was great. Whilst I was uncertain at the beginning, your encouragement made me realise that I could do it and it changed my behaviour. Thank you.
- Agatha McFadden, UK
Hi Carolyn! As you know, I was part of your weight loss program last year and the results were amazing. So when you introduced your detox program I had to try it. I am so glad I made the investment of time and money because it works and I so needed to detox and this was my first detox. What I know about you to be true is that you care about your clients and you deliver. I encourage anyone that needs to detox to do your program. Thank you, Carolyn.
- Viola Head, Newport News, VA
Carolyn, I am so thankful for the change that my family and friends see in me. Dropping 20 pounds was amazing and I feel great with a lot of energy. Thank you for giving me realistic tools that I can use to remain on this lifestyle.

Carolyn, I am so grateful for all that I accomplished working with you. It sure feels great to drop two dress sizes. You are wonderful, and thank you will never be enough.
- Althea Johnson, Memphis, TN
Dear Carolyn, I wasn’t sure that I would make it through the past 30 days, but I did. I am so happy to tell you that I have lost 25 pounds and I look and feel so much better. It is truly nothing short of a miracle and I thank you so much. BTW, I love GREEN SMOOTHIES!
- Viola Head, Newport News, VA
Carolyn, I was very skeptical when I decided to enroll in your weight loss program. I had tried every diet invented to no avail. As you know it took me a long time to get “lifestyle” into my psyche, but your perseverance and understanding prevailed. Carolyn, I absolutely love your coaching style and your ability to truly understand where I was coming from and not enable me with all of my excuses. I am so proud of what I have accomplished in 30 days and my family loves the new me! You have given me a wonderful lifestyle that I will continue, thank you. My family also thanks you.
- Traci Wade, Decatur, GA
Chef Carolyn, Thank you so much for giving me my life back. I look and feel so much better. I will continue this lifestyle because of the tools you gave me.
