Abby's Testimonial After Completing Five Weeks at Indigo Light Recovery

Visit: http://www.IndigoLightRecovery.com/

"My name is Abby and Indigo Light Recovery and I have been in 8 recovery programs in less than two years. Living at Kelly's sober living home for five weeks has done what other treatment centers
couldn't do in seven months.
I'm not sure what her secret is, but here are my observations...
Kelly geniunely loved me - she didn't see me as a paycheck, a pity
case, or a lesser person. Granted, no one who runs a recovery program will tell you "you're just a paycheck" - but they don't have to say it out loud, their actions speak louder than their words. Kelly's actions match her words, they even exceed them.
Kelly will get up in the middle of the night for you, fight for you, cry with you. She will listen - REALLY listen - when you're talking to her. She is very dedicated to each client's success.
 Kelly's sober living home is not for the ambivalent. If you don't truly want healthy recovery, this is not the program for you. She simply will not give up.
The unique aspect of Indigo Light Recovery lies in Kelly's
understanding of the addicted brain and the impact that nutrition can have on one's recovery. This is not a common approach to
recovery, I cannot think of anywhere or anyone else who you could find but Kelly who can show you the way. Brush off the importance of nutrition if you must, but I'm here to say that following her direction has cured me of 15 years of bulimia, enabled me to go off of cigarettes and Effexor (an antidepressant) without any side effects, not to mention how her love and guidance has given me the emotional stability I need to stay clean
from drugs and alcohol". Abby B., Oregon

Testimonial- A Young Woman Who Suffered from a Binge Eating Disorder

Visit: http://www.RadiantLightRecovery.com

"I am 28 years old and I suffered from a binge eating disorder for 14 years. Nothing could stop me from the vicious cycle of binging and overeating.  I have been to many eating disorder therapists, tried every diet and exercise programs, joined different “Anonymous” groups and nothing could control my eating disorder.  My eating disorder controlled my life and it was a frustrating battle that continuously beat me down and made my life miserable.
Because I live long distance, I decided to do the Radiant Light Recovery Daily Phone Program, and after only three months of working with Kelly Jean, I am completely free from the obsession, my binge foods (sugar and flour products) and the deep depression that caused me to binge. I am finally free! I have been able to put to rest old and toxic relationships and close the chapters to my depressing past. 
Through Kelly Jean's support, I am now able to be myself and live a normal life free from binging. I have lost 18 pounds, my skin cleared up and my body is finally balanced. I have relearned how to eat for optimal health and how to balance my brain chemicals.  I have been given a second chance at life and am finally able to accomplish my goals and dreams.  
Kelly Jean is my angel who saved my life! I always felt loved even when I didn’t love myself. She walked this journey with me and saved me from a path of suicide, developing a debilitating disease or living miserably with my eating disorder.  
Kelly Jean helped me see myself differently and I was able to sort through my whole life and heal my broken soul.  Kelly Jean has helped me to heal spiritually, emotionally and physically and I am forever grateful." R.C., Los Angeles

A Mother's Testimonial

"I believe, with all my heart, that without Kelly's work in my daughter Abby's life, she would be back on the streets today.
Instead my daughter is the picture of good health - she is radiant and determined.  For many years she struggled with a crippling eating disorder and then compounded it with a meth and later heroin addiction.  She has been in prison, she has been on the streets, she has been through many in-patient and out-patient programs for drugs and also some for eating disorders.  I would caution people to scrutinize any eating disorder program they might put their child in as they don't all live up to their reputations and now I am sure that the only approach that worked for my daughter is different from the typical approach we found in the other programs, including one at a well know hospital.
My daughter is brilliant and intense - willful and tends to be arrogant in thinking she knows more than other people.
She has learned about "thinking errors" through different programs which has helped her but she needed someone like Kelly who was relentless in calling her to honesty, integrity, transparency and disciplined thinking.  She had to learn that even though Kelly is fun, smart and loving, she is not weak - she sees through the crappy reasoning and manipulation.  My daughter was a master of manipulation, hopefully she will continue to work on not using that particular talent! 
My daughter has been to other programs that were very expensive and impressive looking, but she was very quick to find the dishonesty and disfunction inside the closed doors. Some if not many of these programs are staffed by people who have been addicts themeselves and are only clean for a very few years.  Even though people are clean it takes many years of growth and counseling to work with new addicts in healthy ways and behave in a professional manner.  (Kelly has been clean and sober for 24 years and if you know her you will observe that she lives what she teaches, passionately.)
The other programs admitted that they honestly didn't know how to help Abby because she came with such a complex of issues - they advertised that they did, but couldn't follow through. The good part however was that one of them did find Kelly for us and sent our daughter to her knowing they couldn't help. We will always honor that.
What we also appreciated was how Kelly maintained close communication and respectfully made us apart of the journey and was prompt and thoughtful in returning our calls regarding our concerns or questions. That rarely happened in any other treatment facility. 
My daughter was scared to eat the way Kelly wanted her to - sure she would be fat and miserable.  Now my daughter explains to you why you need to eat this way and goes into the chemistry of how the body and brain works in combination with healthy fats, this complex carbohydrate and that protein or whatever!  It's over my head!  But it gave my daughter the realization that she could still have control over her body and have great health and look amazing because of her hair and skin and muscle tone in response to Kelly's teaching.
Now it is up to my daughter to continue making the right choices - but this time she is thinking differently and it's based on actual facts as well as solid good counseling.  With Kelly we have true hope for our daughter and her future - We know that if our daughter returns to her old ways of thinking (which we don't think she will) we will have done everything in our power to give her the best chance - That is the piece that makes the entire investment so worth it.  A family has to have the peace of mind that they at least did the best they could in getting their loved one help. She is off all medication and thriving. She has been given all the tools she needs and the nutritional and discipline from Kelly has absolutely provided the missing piece. We are at peace.
It's not easy to be in her program.  She's intense and intensly devoted.  NOTHING less would have worked with our daughter.  It's a boot camp for changing the way you think about food, exercise and living in the light but there's much laughter, fun and love sprinkled throughout.  Our family is filled with gratitude for what Kelly has been able to accomplish with our daughter and for the love with which she approaches everything she does.  She is incredibly rare. We are incredibly encouraged."
