This is my second time doing the Blessed Herbs detox through Green Spirit. What I like about this detox experience is that there is no hassle. No food to buy, no exotic preparations, and no discomforting symptoms to endure. Everything is provided, including six days of delicious and thoughtfully prepared raw meals. I almost hate when the detox is over.

This time I shared the detox experience with my significant other. He agrees that the food is fantastic, and that there is interesting information to be gained in this group setting.

JoAnn Kenner

I had fun, learned a lot, and LOVED every dish we prepared. The learning was practical and accessible - not at all fanatical. Thanks for an enjoyable day! Bob Sorensen

I really enjoyed the cleanse class and supportive group gatherings with Green Spirit. The food and juices were delicious and I used Health Force Nutritional's Earth to assist with the cleanse which I loved. I felt nurtured and detoxed easily with a great support team at Green Spirit. Our family continued to eat the delicious food weekly for months afterwards also. Thanks so much, Linda for all you know and all you do!!!

My partner and I have been getting prepared meals from Green Spirit for more than six months. The food is always fresh and creatively different. Linda's desserts are amazing! I've had food boxes from other local chefs, but Linda's are the best. We've also taken her food prep course and a cleanse class (which were well done). Linda is very involved with her customers - it is obvious that she isn't just running a business but lives the lifestyle. Highly recommend Linda and Green Spirit. Jo Ann Ugolini

I highly recommend Linda and Green Spirit Healthy Living for your #1 raw food, healthy lifestyle provider. For over two years, Linda has produced delicious, fresh and creative raw meals which have helped me reach my health improvement goals. She is highly professional, clearly super-organized, friendly, knowledgeable and recommends many reliable outside resources. Linda is a strong and steady leader in the community through Green Spirit and various local activities and events. Linda's classes provided the skills and knowledge I need at home to sustain a higher level of health and nutrition. Marie Lind

Linda, your very interesting talents, time and simplicity was the main mindset, not just the nutrition value. Everyone at mid-age should incorporate this style of eating for a healthy life. Raymond Marino
