“I have had a lot of digestive problems and have suffered with acne since I was 11 years old. No matter what treatments, drugs, or special diets I tried it was an endless battle.  I have seen numerous dietitians and doctors to figure out my digestive issues and they all say it's "IBS".  It was not until I met with Christa that she was able to identify the link between digestion and my complexion. Four months after working with Christa my digestive problems have gone away and I finally have the glowing complexion I so desperately wanted all these years! 

 I have also been able to slow down, have more balance in my life, (that I desperately needed), and actually accomplish more with less stress.  As a result, my relationships with those I love have improved, my stress has decreased, and my career is thriving. I feel much healthier, balanced, and energized after working with Christa.  I highly recommend her services!   "

“Everyone wanted to know how I lost all my baby weight and then some. Christa taught me that it is as simple as understanding your body and how it works for you. This is not about trying what worked for someone else and not about every diet that is known to man (because I have been on those to). It is understanding YOUR OWN BODY and how you can live a DIET FREE lifestyle and simply just "BE" . If you are tired of DIETS and YOYO jeans sizes and you find yourself wanting to be free from it all by finding what your body really needs, it is really simple, The Whole Journey approach; it works. Life is a journey my friends and Christa can help you, but you will have to want to help yourself first . She helped me find what makes my body happy , and in turn helped me find Britt again. Her knowledge will astound you. To me she is priceless." 

– Britt Piburn, Dallas TX

“My life changed on February 24, 2008 when I, just by chance, saw an article written about Christa in The San Diego Union Tribune. I finally had the time, and courage, to approach Christa five months later. Since then, I have been on an amazing journey of fitness, nutrition, and "wholeness." I initially went to Christa to learn about healthy foods, and in the process, lost 35 pounds by eating healthy alternatives. I loved the way Christa managed to change my thinking from dwelling on what I can't eat, to realizing all the wonderful foods that can be eaten. Thank you, Christa, for all your tremendous support and wisdom." 

– Twila Ginn, Carlsbad CA

"With Christa's guidance, my whole life has changed for the better. I lost 20% of my original body weight, my energy levels have improved greatly, and I sleep better and understand a whole lot more about what my body needs to operate optimally. My digestion has improved like I never imagined. In addition, I have a new and improved (and enjoyable) way of eating and shopping as well as a consistent but fun exercise program. Christa has provided me with all the tools and education I needed to get here!"

– Andrea Kelly, Cardiff CA

“I chose to work with Christa because I liked the 'whole journey' approach to nutrition and lifestyle that her website suggests. What I didn’t realize is what a profound difference in my emotional outlook and energy levels her program would have on me! Not only do I have a better relationship with my eating habits and physical appearance, I now have effective tools and knowledge to listen to my body’s needs in a much more successful way. Christa's gentle approach to nutrition and lifestyle was never intimidating, always educational and supportive, and she is a true leader in her field. I recommend her to everyone wanting a change for the better.”

– Tiffany Hardesty, Carlsbad CA

"When I first became a client of Christa's, I brought many obstacles and struggles with me. I was having difficulties both emotionally and physically, and I started to believe that my life would continue in the same cycle forever. Christa taught me how to learn to love myself for who I am, not how I wanted others to perceive me. She allowed me to understand the direct correlation between emotional and physical health, this was a huge turning point in my life.  Walking out of her office after each meeting was the best that I had felt in years, she made me want to be happier, healthier, and more successful. Christa's positive energy and outlook on life have allowed me to see the world in a new light, and I am excited for what is in my future. I whole heartedly recommend Christa and The Whole Journey. Your life will change forever"

– Rosanne Geraty, San Diego CA

“I came to Christa looking for some simple nutritional counseling. Little did I know that four months later I would walk out with a complete mind and body tune-up!"

– Matt Miller, Leucadia, CA

“I've always tried to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but have never really known what to eat or not eat. There is so much contradiction in popular media that it's hard to know what to believe.  Christa taught me that I have the power to heal myself by making intelligent food and lifestyle choices. You feel very confident in her knowledge, she is a great role model and never judges. She has an easy system of making "upgrades" - taking it one step at a time until most of the junk is eliminated and replaced with choices that nourish the body. Her 80% rule makes it easy because you don't have to be perfect all the time. Christa's Home Intensive Program whipped my kitchen into shape as well as empowered me to feel that these changes would stick. It was the spark I needed to turn my life around!"

– Marcie Peters, Encinitas CA

“I have to admit that I was skeptical of Christa's program at first, until I went to visit my sister in October and experienced her new lifestyle. Living in the Midwest made it more challenging; however working with Christa over the phone was wonderful. When I delved into my lifestyle with Christa, we found many ways to make positive changes through small steps that were not overwhelming, difficult or intimidating. I am a young Type II Diabetic with high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Through Christa's guidance I have been able to eliminate all of my medications for blood pressure, cholesterol and allergies and now manage my health through a healthy lifestyle. Losing more than 15lbs was effortless and an added bonus. This incredible journey has left me with an increase in my energy level, physical well-being and emotional health. The work, support, guidance and encouragement from Christa has been amazing and truly life changing.”

– Jill Sauer, St. Louis MO

 "The day Christa came over for the Home Intensive Program, we went out to lunch and I let her choose what we ate. I was so surprised after lunch that I felt energetic, clear-headed and satisfied. Christa said 'that is the way you are supposed to feel after you eat and that is why we are doing this Home Intensive'. We went back to my house and cleared out all the junk- sugar, processed foods, hidden chemicals, etc. I had no idea how many things contain sugar and toxic by products in all their various forms. We cooked with our 'new food' for two hours to prepare meals for the entire week. My whole family ate and enjoyed what we prepared and I started feeling better and better. As an added bonus, as a mom of three young children, I now am certain that they are receiving the most nutritious foods available. I highly recommend Christa's Home Intensive Program for any busy mom who wants to feel good and raise a healthy family." ”

– Silvia Gupta, San Diego CA

“Since I travel over 200 days a year, nutrition was one of the primary challenges to my overall health and well-being. Christa helped me to appreciate the beauty in food as well as honor my unique body in a way that enhanced my energy and enthusiasm for life. She helped me to discover that “food issues” were only a by-product of deeper imbalances and that I could find ultimate peace and happiness with my body only when I healed the emotional pain that triggered certain reactions. I learned that nutrition is not just about food but about how each bite - full of flavor, aroma, texture, and color - can bring you closer to finding the essence of what you truly hunger for. And once you find that, freedom is yours.”

– Tiffany Grimm, Encinitas CA

“I followed Christa’s group nutritional program just prior to attending my 40th high school reunion. After 7-9 days on the program, my skin looked perfectly clear and I felt incredibly energetic. Everyone at the reunion said I looked great! A few months after the group program, my doctor advised that I go sugar-free and gluten-free. I was only able to successfully do this because of the knowledge I learned from Christa. 10lbs melted right off and I feel fantastic!”

– Linda Hawkins, Carlsbad CA

“Working with Christa helped me lose 23lbs, and the best part is that I have easily been able to keep it off. I used to eat a lot of comfort foods like ice cream or pies. Although I have not eliminated them completely, I have learned to eat them in a smarter way. Soon after seeing Christa, I was able to give up coffee and soft drinks completely. Now I do not experience the daily slump that I used to when I was heavily caffeinated. I feel much better and have a lot more energy. I would encourage anyone interested in living a healthier life to participate in a session with Christa. She is a wealth of nutritional knowledge and a wonderful, spiritually supercharged person to be around.”

– Sterling Krolicki, Carlsbad CA

“I am SO thrilled that I attended Christa's One Day Intensive workshop. I was absolutely blown away by the amount of information I learned in just one session and I left the workshop feeling inspired and motivated to make positive changes in my life. I definitely recommend Christa's workshop to anyone who is ready to start taking steps toward leading a healthier lifestyle. Thank you, Christa!"

– Emily Chan-Norris, San Diego CA

"After six months of working with Christa, I have dropped 2 dress sizes and my intense food cravings have disappeared. I enjoy a much healthier diet and experience greater clarity and confidence. Christa has given me the tools to explore my relationship with food, exercise and all areas of my life. As her title implies, her work is not just around food, but touches on every aspect of her clients' lives: physical, emotional and spiritual. She is always accessible, unfailingly supportive and a great cheerleader. If you are ready to make lasting, positive change in your life, she is a teacher not to be missed. Christa was clearly born to do this work."

– Cat Miller, San Diego CA

"For decades, I’ve had challenges around getting to sleep, and in turn staying asleep throughout the night. To some extent, I had given up on ever finding a solution. Then, I came in contact with Christa. Following her recommendations and sound advice, I'm now sleeping all through the night. This has made a profound difference in the quality of my life, and I am grateful to her for making that possible."

– Dale Carter, Encinitas CA

"Christa has been a welcome light to my life. I have been on many diets throughout my life, to no avail. Christa has brought a no guilt awareness to me about how I eat, why I eat and how food makes me feel. It is the first time out of many that anyone has paid attention to me and my life style. Her whole life approach really worked for me and I feel like this has been a permanent life change for me. She has touched my soul.”

– Cindy House, Carlsbad CA

"It is quite a commitment to be your best person: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The investment demands real courage and dedication. For those of us who know our destiny has great purpose, Christa's unique guidance and approach directs focus in such a way that enables you to define and channel your true happiness in all aspects of your life. Christa's support has been a most valuable asset on my journey."

– Arren Murray, San Diego CA

"I came to Christa with debilitating pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis, thinking that diet could possibly play a key role in providing some relief. Step-by-step through incorporating the changes Christa suggested, the pain started waning and my mobility returned. My digestion normalized and my energy levels consequently increased as well. I am now limber and vibrant and feel empowered that I have acquired the skills to keep it that way."

– Helen Gipe, Vista CA

"My six month journey with Christa opened my eyes to subtle, yet life-changing mind-sets. Finding the appropriate diet for my health was only a small part of the transformation that occurred. After following the new techniques offered by Christa every two-weeks, I immediately felt more confident and in control of my food and activity choices. People around me commented on the physical changes that were evident, but I changed internally. I am now in balance in all areas of my life."

– Kathy E. Warren, Encinitas CA
