“Dear Kasia, I wanted to write to tell you what an enormous change your nutritional counseling has made in both my husband’s and my lives. Not only are we eating so much more nutritiously, but we both lost weight and feel 100% better! You have clarified the multitude of confusing messages out there about carbs, proteins, and fats. At first, I thought it would be difficult to make the changes you suggested; however, to the contrary, it has been easy and very enjoyable. I feel like I am eating the best foods and eating more than I did before. I’m much more satisfied as is my husband, who by the way is a real meat-and-potatoes man. His headache and acid reflux have decreased much as well!. Thank you for your help.”

“When I was given a diagnosis of food allergies and intolerances that included among other foods wheat, dairy and eggs, I was devastated. These foods were the mainstay of my everyday diet. Imagine how I felt when I was given the added news that I also was reactive hypoglycemic. I was a carbohydrate addict. I loved and craved sweets. What was i going to do? I was overwhelmed and very anxious. What was I to eat? Would I ever want to cook again? What food choices did I have with all the limitations imposed on me?
I was advised by my doctor to consult with Kasia. She must have heard the desperate tone in my voice since she arranged to meet with me the very next day. She opened up a whole new world of meal planning to me. It was if I had to toss everything out of my pantry and start all over. It was overwhelming.
Kasia got me through a period of anxiety, depression and even tremors. My body was going through withdrawal symptoms from lack of refined sugars. Kasia’s compassion and support throughout this period was nothing short of heroic. Three weeks have passed. I’ve been taught how to pay attention to food labels. I was taught the importance of whole foods, I was given recipes for 3 meals a day and 3 snacks per day. I was told where the specialty foods could be found locally as well as on web sites. I was encouraged to share my daily ups and downs with her. She helped me make corrections and substitutions to my daily meal choices where needed. She was calming when I needed reassurances that I could succeed with this new way of eating. She was knowledgeable on so many nutritional levels and was willing to work as a team with the doctor who had recommended her to me.
After just 3 weeks I have accomplished what I originally thought was impossible. I feel terrific. I have a lot of energy and I look at recipes with a lot of confidence. I have no cravings for simple carbs and I am enjoying the taste of whole foods and grains that I never even knew existed. I intend to consult with Kasia on a monthly basis not only for her knowledge-to pick her brain-but I really enjoy being in her presence. She is special in so many ways.”

“My husband and I sought out the help of Kasia Kines because we wanted to make changes to our diet so that he could hopefully get off blood pressure medicine, which was causing some harmful side effects. He also has borderline high cholesterol and chronic back pain. With several issues to deal with it could have been overwhelming to make these changes, but Kasia was great at explaining not only what we should be eating but also what to avoid eating. She also taught us how to prepare food, gave us meal and snack ideas and plenty of printed materials to take home for reference. We were able to make the changes gradually since we would leave each appointment with nutritional recommendations specific to our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Kasia, and can already see and feel the changes in our bodies since eating the way we should, my husband’s blood pressure is going down and we hope to stop his medication soon. We plan to continue using Kasia’s nutritional guidance as an ongoing part of our health care and would highly recommend her services.”

“Kasia has been an invaluable resource in helping to motivate me to get well. Seeing others with green drink in hand at the monthly support meeting keeps me going. I especially appreciate her gift of coming alongside and starting right where you are, not pushing but gently guiding. She gives very generously of her time and doesn’t hesitate to give referrals if needed. She can be trusted to have her clients’ best interests at heart above and beyond what’s called for. I have been encouraged to believe that good health is actually possible. And with her expertise, training, and that intangible element–good will–the path will be safe, holistic, and even fun.”

“Hello Kasia, I am doing very well! It took me a couple of days to get used to it, but I like oatmeal your way better than the garbage I used to eat. And everything else is working for me, too. I’m not hungry, have more energy, and I lost five pounds last week. Thanks for everything!” 
Two weeks later: “I’ve lost five more pounds!”

“Kasia Kines’ 30-day Detox Program is one of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself. The long-term health benefits, energy and nutrition education from the program more than pay for the cost of the class. The manual for the class would easily be a best seller if published and I carry my manual with me to read and reference wherever I head out to an appointment or commute. The Nutrametrix regime, too, is worth the investment in yourself, especially the OPC3.”

Below is my testimonial. I am so pleased that I could go on forever but I kept it short. 6 months of eating healthy and I am actually enjoying it! I saw Kasia several times individually before I took the plunge and signed up for the 30 Day Whole Foods Detox Program. I began to lose pounds and unpleasant digestive issues after my first visit and things improved even more during the detox program. I have gained control of my digestive system for the first time in my life and regained my optimism. I have lost unpleasant gut issues, insecurities about food choices, and quite a few pounds. Kasia is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. Please take the opportunity and let Kasia help you make some wonderful changes in your life.

I lost weight, got rid of bloating, and my skin glows – but that’s not the best part! What was great was that my cravings were ELIMINATED! What a relief and what a better way to live. If you have the chance to work with Kasia, do it!

“Kasia Kines’ detox program is changing my life. I came into the program for a variety of reasons, including my health, compassion for animals, and a desire to reprogram my taste buds. I want to become Vegan and began working toward this goal about a year ago. My goals were the same then as now and I was filled with determination. The problem was that I lacked the knowledge and ‘know-how’ to stay motivated and although I had books to help, it was not enough to create the shift I needed. Eventually I became bored with my regimen and slid back into my old ways of eating and with that, so too did my health begin to backslide. My doctor suggested I contact Kasia. In the detox program, Kasia teaches the why’s as well as the how’s to healthy eating, has taste-testing, a whole-foods shopping tour and she individualizes the program to fit the needs of the client. Kasia’s enthusiasm about the food, her work, and her clients is contagious. I am thrilled to be finding the “YUM” factor in healthy foods and the playfulness to experiment with new foods and not just prepare meals but enjoy creating beautiful, yummy plates of food. And I know that Kasia is the magic that makes this program work so well.

“Kasia, I just want to thank you for being passion about what you do and sharing with people who desperately need your help. Since I signed up for your detox program 9 weeks ago I must say I feel great, not only physically but mentally also, you have taught me to be the best I can be. I have learned so much about the body, good wholesome foods, vitamins, detoxifying, and toxins. I have lost weight and many of my health concerns have disappeared, people say now I have a glow, and I couldn’t agree more. I think if more people knew about your program, the country would be healthier. Your program is amazing and thank you for being there for me.”
Love your student,

“Have you ever heard the phrase…”when the student is ready, the teacher will be there?” I believe that to be a universal truth! And it was certainly my experience.
My 25yrs of holistic (body, mind, spirit) studies and practices improved my life on so many emotional and spiritual levels. At the same time, I denied my physical being. My weight was at an all time high and in November of 2007, I began having chest pains. I bargained with my soul for 3 days. “Let me have time to clean up things at work before I go check this out, because I know if I go to the hospital, I’m going to be staying for a while.” On the 4th day, I was driving home from work and a commercial came on the radio. This booming voice said: “DON’T WAIT TOO LONG, it could mean the difference between a stroke and a heart attack!” I finally said, ok, ok, I’ll go in the morning. I promise!!! So, I got up, showered, packed a little emergency bag of essential items and drove myself to the hospital…and I stayed for a few days. Bottom line, my weight combined with my blood work showed impending danger. I did my best to lose weight, but I really resisted changing my eating habits over the long term. One night, out of frustration…I said to the universe, I surrender. What I’m doing isn’t working, I need something more.
Over the next few days, two friends…not one, but two, told me about the work of Kasia Kines, a holistic nutritionist. I resisted some more. I called and spoke to Kasia, and I resisted some more and even began to feel real fear about the change. Then I thought….you can ignore one message, you can’t ignore two! AND didn’t I recently ask for help?!!!
I began the program, still resistant! After day ONE, yes day ONE of Kasia’s 30 day Rejuvenation Detox Program…I felt the difference!!! The student was finally ready, and this fabulous teacher showed up! ALL my cravings for chocolate, bread, red meat, and sugar went away. I asked Kasia why that happened so quickly and she said she thought my body was so starved for nutrients, that when I finally put the right foods in my body, I didn’t have to plow thru all the wrong foods to meet my body’s needs. I felt great! I’m now at the end of week 10. Obviously, I decided to continue beyond the 30 days because I felt so great. My skin improved, my concentration improved, my memory improved, my energy level is up, AND I’ve permanently released 35 pounds!!!!!!
My success began with a decision, was followed up on with action, and was beautifully supported by friends and Kasia. Kasia’s knowledge, holistic approach, and caring support made a tremendous difference!!!! I recommend Kasia’s program with all my heart and soul!!!!!”

“By the time I found Kasia, I was suffering with debilitating headaches, constant unexplained fatigue, free floating anxiety, occasional diarrhea, heartburn, pain in my joints and muscles, and serious cravings for sweets or alcohol in the evenings. I was a mess, and I knew it was my diet. But…everything I knew to do was not working! Kasia worked with me to tailor a new eating plan consisting of foods I liked—AND I was not hungry. After only three weeks my headaches, fatigue, anxiety, and diarrhea are gone. My cravings are rapidly decreasing. I’m sold. I look forward to continuing my new eating plan, intelligently adding foods back that work for me, and watching the rest of my symptoms go away. Kasia Kines is an excellent nutritional coach, and I would recommend her to anyone who is not afraid of results!”
Julie, South Carolina

“Hey Kasia! I’ve wanted to thank you for your help last year – I’ve dramatically changed my diet to incorporate eating fruits and vegetables and the stomach problems I was having are virtually GONE! I can’t believe how well that worked! I tell everybody that they should try to eat at least one heaping salad a day if they are having stomach issues. And I actually LOVE LEAFY GREENS! I would never have guessed it!”
Melissa W., Baltimore, MD

“It’s been a month since I began working with Kasia and as a result of her guidance my family of four is shopping more wisely, eating tastier and healthier meals, and feeling better. Kasia is a wonderful teacher with an amazing depth of understanding about nutrition. She walks the talk in her own life and in doing so is able to offer practical, feasible tips for healthy eating. My husband and I have made many careful investments in our health over the years, and while we feel good about those choices, few have provided the immediate and overwhelming benefit that we gained from working with Kasia.”
Teresa Shattuck, PhD, Mt Airy, MD

“I started seeing Kasia during my chemotherapy for stage III breast cancer. I wanted to learn how to cook healthy at home and we did just that. I met with Kasia in the office, at Whole Foods Market, and then in my kitchen. By coming to my home, Kasia was able to help me apply my new knowledge of foods to make great meals. I had fun and learned some great skills. PS. My cancer is in remission now.”

“Dear Kasia, I highly appreciated your Wellness through Nutrition class at CCBC. I learned a lot in only seven sessions. Your knowledge and teaching skills made it easy for me, as a foreign language speaker, to understand the subject. In those classes, I learned what are good carbs, bad carbs, good fats and bad fats. I learned how to reduce stress, how to read food labels, and how to keep healthy both physically and mentally. One class I loved the most was learning deep breathing techniques in a beautiful environment of candle light. I’ve kept all the materials you gave to us. I was so proud of myself to have learned the information that I passed the things I’d learned from you along to my friends to help improve the quality of their lives. Some of my friends are interested in attending your next class. Your passion and professional knowledge encouraged me to learn more about wellness through nutrition.”
