In this "fast food nation" of ours today, Donna Terjesen, Nutritional Health Counselor, CEO and Founder of Nourish Our Kids, Inc., has set the tone for aiding parents in a calmer, healthier and most positive way.  She gives simplistic and realistic solutions without medicating our children.  She rewards our children and validates their presence in our lives.  Donna's teachings have given another effective dimension to Parenting Skills Improvement.  I wouldn't want to be without Donna on my team, in supporting the families of today.

Donna has brought and continues to bring, not only her experience as a mother, but her research and education as a Certified Nutritional Therapist to her workshops at Borders Books in Westbury, over the years.  She shares concepts that have shaped her theories on raising healthy children with simple, basic nutrition that makes sense and is easy to live with in today's busy households.  The recommended reading list reads like a bibliography of the best of whole food cooking.  Audience participation and shared successes round out the evenings and keep people coming back.

Dear Speakers,

Thank you for coming in and teaching our class about Nutrition and health.  I have heard many guest speakers and I must say, I enjoyed and learned the most from you.  It was a pleasure listening to your interesting and helpful facts.  Because of you, I will change my lifestyle, in a good way.  I thought that this was going to be a boring lecture but within ten minutes it was the best one I have ever had the pleasure to listen and learn about.  I am thrilled about starting a new, fresh start to my life style because of you.  I am going to live on a healthy, balanced diet which will help me to a more fun and successful life!  I am so excited that I am starting right away.  Thank you once again for coming in on your busy lives and talking to our class.

Sincerely,

Zachary

Dear Anna and Donna,

Thank you so very much for coming to our class on Thursday.  I learned a lot of new things about my health and everyone's health.  Now know soda, candy, and junk food is not good for my health, so I'll cut that habit out.  I am sometimes tired.  I thought it was because the class is boring, but it's because I don't eat breakfast nor lunch.  I'm pretty hungry after school.  Sometimes I would get a pizza or a bagel.  Sometimes a pack of chips and a soda.  Sometimes walk up stairs to the 5th floor gives me a headache, but now I know why!

Thank you so much!
