Testimonials
"Thank you for the fantastic Nutrition Workshop you presented to Belmont Nursery School. My staff raved about your very informative workshop on diet, metabolism and the importance of paying attention to food labels. The tips on nutrition (how best to fuel your body) and insight into understanding food labels was a hit with us all! Your expertise in this area and your teaching style are a perfect combination!" -Nancy McQuiggan-Elander, Owner, Belmont Nursery School
"I had the good fortune of meeting Kim from Your Health Sense this spring through my personal trainer. It was truly a transformative experience as her education and guidance allowed me to fully understand the nutritional balance necessary for weight loss, and implement these practices into my daily life. The take away was NOT to not focus on weight loss but more on changing my approach to food and ultimately overall nutrition." - Ellen G., Boston, MA
"As a psychologist, I¹m especially concerned that any working relationship I engage in feel both warm and professional. After my first few interactions with Kim Raubenheimer, I knew I'd found the perfect person to help give me the guidance I needed in developing a healthier approach to feeding my family. She's not only extremely knowledgeable about the technical side of nutrition; she's also creative and flexible. She listened closely to my family's needs, and gave me guidance that was both manageable and tailored to our lifestyle, all with an air of warmth and collaboration that I look for and admire in any of my professional relationships. With Kim you'll get specific and wise guidance, and you'll have a great time, too!" - Jennifer Leigh, PhD, Belmont, MA
"Our time with Ms. Raubenheimer was well spent. I have learned the value of maximizing the nutrition of snacks and the importance of avoiding certain ‘unhealthy’ foods except for special occasions. I have also learned how to squeeze a little exercise and fitness into my day. My brother has become an avid reader of labels…holding the entire family accountable for making sure we are eating wholesome foods. My parents have even learned how to adjust their cooking styles in order to make meals more nourishing for us all. We thank Ms. Raubenheimer for sharing her expertise in order that we might be a truly healthy family." -Christopher, Age 13
"Your Health Sense helped me understand I was not eating enough and not eating the right choices to lose body fat and maintain energy for my daily activities and my workouts." Heidi, Franklin, MA
"For the past year, Kim from Your Health Sense has been advising me on nutrition and healthy food choices. She is extremely knowledgeable and provides great support to keep you on track toward your goals! Working with Your Health Sense has been an amazing experience and I recommend them for anyone looking to make a positive change in their lifestyle." Stephanie, Somerville, MA “In March, I attended Kim’s seminar, Healthy Eating for Busy People. Kim was credible and knowledgeable about the various topics covered. The topic I enjoyed most was Reading Food Labels. I now know what to look for and stay away from when buying food products. I find myself looking for serving size, transfat, whole grain and if I can recognize the names of the ingredients listed. Kim also touched upon Hydration. I knew hydration was important, but didn’t understand why. After hearing about the effects of dehydration, I’m definitely drinking a lot more water! Overall, I found the seminar to be not only informative, but interesting. Kim tailored the presentation to what my co-workers and I were interested in.” - Katie Healy, Boston, MA
"Kim came to my StrollerFit fitness class and did a talk for the moms on pre and post workout fueling. The talk was great! She was well prepared, and her talk was engaging, thoughtful and incredibly informative. I was impressed with how well she tailored her talk to the specific needs of our group and loved how she brought examples of snacks to show everyone and left us with handouts that included recipes for us to try at home. Kim was available to the women for questions both during and after the discussion and even supplied her email address for follow up questions. The dedication she has to her profession shines through brightly. I will definitely use Kim in the future!" -Diane Pokorny Wilson, Stroller Fit Franchise Boston owner "I found your talk to and handouts to be so helpful too - thank you for being such a valuable resource!!" - Monica D., a Stroller Fit member "Kim’s Nutrition 101 workshop at MIT was great! She was able to cover a lot of information in each area of basic nutrition in a short amount of time, while making sure everyone’s questions were answered to the best of her ability. She has a wealth of knowledge that she is excited to share with everyone. From additional hand-outs to informative websites Kim’s recommendations make a difference!" -Jody A. Mello, Assistant Aquatic Director, MIT Recreational Sports "Kim, I was so glad to have taken your recent nutrition class. A lot of material was covered in a short period of time due to your hours of research and experience, which made it easy as a participant to absorb. Thank you so much!” -Tom Niles, (attended MIT Rec Sport Nutrition for Weight Management 4 class session) "I got to know Kim as the instructor of Active Nutrition class at MIT. Her friendly and approachable personality allowed me to ask lots of questions I've had in the past regarding fitness and nutrition. Her class was very practical and I learned a lot of useful information: she brought props to show us what actual portions and serving sizes were like, as well as actual food/snack products that were healthy. Even when I knew about what kind of food is good for me, I didn't know which actual product I was able to trust - Kim helped me find out how I can make sure I am buying healthy choices (i.e. whole grain, complex carbs, etc). I have been able to feel energized throughout the day after I took Kim's class and have been able to enjoy my gym experience even more!" -MIT graduate student, 2009 "When I heard that Kim Raubenheimer was working in the nutrition field, I knew that she would be the perfect person to conduct a workshop for my staff. Because of her warm, positive manner and knowledgeable attitude, I knew she would be able to connect and educate the preschool teachers. Kim was willing to listen to our needs and tailor the workshop to our specifications. It was quite a success! The teachers appreciated the way in which Kim conveyed the valuable nutrition information using lots of visual aids and handouts. In the future, Kim will be presenting a similar workshop to the parents and will be acting as a consultant to the Children's Center." - Regina Nazzaro, Director, Russell J. Call Children's Center Northeastern University
"Kim presented a short talk to kick off my Boot Camp course this Spring. The discussion was on choosing the right foods for fueling your body pre and post workout. The talk was well thought out, informative and interactive. She even brought samples of some good food choices, which was useful for encouraging discussion amongst the participants. Everyone came away from the talk having learned something useful to their wellness goals. I highly recommend Kim, she is knowledgeable, reliable, and presents information in a user-friendly manner." - Liz Carlson, Certified Group Fitness Instructor "I wanted to take a moment to compliment as well as thank you for the wonderful workshop you presented to our employees here at UniGraphic. I compliment you because it was informative and fun at the same time. I thank you because the information was useful for improving every day life. Your presentation prompted a great discussion among the attendees which again was a lot of fun. We have shared the information and recipes with those who could not make it. We look forward to having more workshops on the many topics you offer. If they are anything like the one we just had, we know we will enjoy!" Thank you, Marsha Webb HR Manager, Unigraphics
"I was working with Ellen for a whole year before I met Kim. Ellen was a 53 yr old former collegiate and Olympic athlete. She had aches, pains, and stiffness all over her body from years of pounding on the field. Over the course of our year together she made great improvements in her mobility and strength but no matter what I tried her energy levels were always very low and she would not let go of much body fat. I finally realized it MUST be her diet that was holding her back because she was working very hard in the gym. I was tired of not seeing her get the results from all the work she was putting in.
Fortunately, I met Kim around the same time and was greatly impressed with her practical knowledge of nutrition. She seemed to have a real passion for helping and a realistic understanding of what works. I referred Ellen to Kim and the rest is history! Really, Ellen's fitness training all came together at that point. We saw the change almost immediately. Kim got Ellen to actually EAT more than once a day and to drink water throughout the day. The difference was tremendous, the weight started falling off, she was moving better, her skin looked healthier, and her energy was WAY up.
I had been telling Ellen for sometime she should eat breakfast, drink more water, etc. Anyone can tell you to eat right and drink water but how many people can actually invoke the habit change within you. Only a very good coach can and I'm grateful that Kim is that kind of coach!"- Mike Rapoza, CPT
