Success Stories
“Words cannot describe what an "angel" Isabel has been for me. Sometimes, I wish that she hadn't helped me get back on my feet so quickly, both nutritionally and emotionally, so that my wonderful and insightful sessions with her would have never ended!!! After seeing many nutritionists who gave me cold and clinical advice that ultimately made my struggle with food more complicated, Isabel was truly a sigh of much-needed relief. Isabel is an amazingly perceptive woman who helped me to integrate my practice of yoga and eating. She helped me to see how my eating habits were simply a reflection of my lifestyle — a very out-of-whack lifestyle that had been physically and emotionally draining on me for too many years. Isabel's holistic treatment method allowed me to balance my physical, mental, and emotional self, and, as a result, my struggles with food disappeared. I will be forever grateful to Isabel and will always integrate all that she has taught me into my life!” —J.G.
“I went to Isabel to help curb a serious overeating habit and to discover how to balance vegetarianism with weight control. My mind had been spinning with trying to balance low-carb, high protein, no meat, gastrointestinal upset, and bingeing. She completely shifted my focus from what to eat to how to eat, live, and be happy. I was completely blinded to the fact that stress management was my main problem, not confusion about nutrition. I was using mindless eating as a way to cope with stress, rather than facing the real issue of finding life balance. She showed me ways to reconnect with my needs, and to listen to my inner voice. I now prioritize time for myself and engage daily in activities that nurture my body and soul. Food is enjoyable and healthy, not the enemy! Isabel's enthusiasm and insight are both inspiring and healing. My experience with her has taught me life-changing principles.” —J.S.
“ I just wanted to let you know that your nutrition counseling definitely changed things in my life for the better. I refer back to my notes from our sessions often, and consequently I eat better, cook better, and am healthier all around. The reason I sought counseling was to improve my health and appearance through a manageable vegan diet. However, I also learned that other areas in my life needed attention and change as well, and you were very helpful and encouraging in pursuing these changes. These days I have a much better diet, job, and perspective on life! Thanks, Isabel. You rock! ” —L.R.
“Isabel has been a wonderful guide on my journey toward better health. While I have read a lot about nutrition and wellness on my own, I had difficulty pulling it all together. Isabel helped me to do that, while also helping me to create a good, solid foundation upon which I can continue to build. The skills and tools she shared with me are ones that I have continued to incorporate into my life because they have been so incredibly useful. Isabel's innate ability to break things down into more manageable pieces helped me to avoid the tremendous sense of being overwhelmed, which had always accompanied my earlier approaches to get on track. I can see and feel such a huge difference in my life now compared to when I began her six-week wellness program. I appreciate so many things about Isabel's approach to creating wellness in other's lives: her gentle, encouraging attitude; her sense of humor; her thoroughness and excellent organization of her programs; and her deep understanding and compassion. Isabel has opened my eyes to many new things, and also helped me to see that I have the ability to achieve a healthy, balanced lifestyle, something I always felt would be elusive.” —M.D.
“Isabel's enthusiasm is infectious! She also happens to be one of the funniest women I know and I looked forward to each of my sessions like a kid eagerly anticipating the next trip to the toy store Ñ I couldn't wait to see what I was going to learn and what I would take home! She helped me to achieve each of the goals I set forth for myself at the beginning of my program. I had great digestive discomfort for years and Isabel helped me to integrate self care and health-conscious decisions to dissolve the daily discomfort I was feeling as well as discover I had a serious food allergy! Every session I'd pick up another jewel to add to my self-care toolbox whether it was a new cookbook, a new approach to managing stress in my life, a new method to take care of my physical and emotional body, or a new perspective on handling interpersonal relationships. Isabel's healing isn't just about food. It was about customizing a program appropriate for me which varied every session depending on what was going on for me at that time. And the most valuable thing I got from Isabel was her undying enthusiasm. She was my lead cheerleader and with her undying support, I was able to overcome some serious fears and take a huge step towards accomplishing my own personal career and life goals.” —R.B.
“I was one stressed-out individual when I found Isabel at Clark Wellness! I chose the six-month program, and in that time I have assembled a toolbox to help me take care of myself and enjoy my life more. As women, I think that sometimes we forget that it's perfectly okay to take care of ourselves. I needed permission, and Isabel not only gave me permission, but she told me how to do it! She also supported me by introducing me to my mind-body connection, something that I had done a fantastic job of suppressing. What a new world has opened up for me! I have taken steps to pursue my dreams, have tons more energy, and my shoulders no longer have permanent residence near my ears! I would highly recommend this program, but you have to be ready to make the changes. Everything's an experiment, right, Isabel? The one thing that I liked most about the program was that it was tailored to ME. Everything had to fit in my life, in my timing. This program did not force any kind of dogma, and Isabel did not change me in any way. I made the decisions, and she gave the support.” —J.H.
“As Rockefeller stimulated early New York City, so too has Isabel Clark cultivated my once uncivilized world of food. She helped elevate me from a weary terrain of 'been there, done that' to a new path on a higher plain of consciousness. In so doing, I learned to not only read packaging labels, but to inquire further as to where ingredients come from originally. I now recognize that 'organic' is not just a cool new food trend, and that utilizing fresh, local, seasonal products not only inspires creativity, but truly helps provide a holistic seasonal environment for my entire body. Isabel, in her gentle, open-minded nature, gave me the culinary options and tools — of which there were many I had never known — to make my own choices to personally benefit my personality and lifestyle. And through initially examining this one piece of my daily world, my perspective on life-nourishment in general became clearer. I attribute this partially to a better diet, but more so to taking the time with Isabel to thoroughly examine what I needed in order to provide my life with nutrition as a whole. And thus, not only have I been introduced to kale, quinoa (dude, if you haven't tried them, you're missing out!), and a really great advisor and woman, but a 'culture of me' I never would have known to nurture otherwise.” —M.H.
“Isabel is an enthusiastic, encouraging, and empathetic holistic health counselor. Her space was soothing and serene to work in, and she offered great tips on living holistically through her program. I highly recommend working with Isabel to help get your life in balance.” —K.W.
“Working with Isabel has opened my eyes to a lot of things and made me realize that I needed to make some major changes in my life. Her sincere interest in helping people make changes and make better people of themselves and her enthusiam for her work was evident in the time I spent working with her. You cannot go wrong by trying this program!!” —L.G.
“When I first met Isabel, it was her unique ability to truly listen and be completely present that struck me most. In the past 6 months of knowing her, she has continued to inspire me, as well as assist me in my process of self-awareness, nutritional balance, and overall acceptance and respect for my own life and journey. Isabel's gentle yet effective advice stays with me even after our conversations, and she has awakened in me a power I know now has always been there—it simply needed guidance. Isabel has given me that guidance, and shown me how to truly connect with who and what I am!” —J.S.
“I appreciate how you care for others while they are on their journey. You are an old soul with a wonderful perspective who has always stimulated me by asking just the right questions... Your passion for health and nutrition is evident in every conversation and you are able to relay that in a way that encourages people to embark on their journey to a healthier life. I would recommend that anyone who is ready to embrace the possibilities of a good life and good health call you to do a health history and make that first step!” —C.K.
