Having a wedding date set for the month of April, Zion* was concerned about his weight and the subsequent lack of confidence which he suffered as a result of being over-weight. After contacting  The Melrose Aesthetic Centre and being recommended the Detox and Wellness programme – Zion had the following to say only two weeks into the programme: “I am getting married in April and didn’t have any confidence in my looks and was worried about my health.  Now, a few weeks later, I have noticed a remarkable difference in my weight and health. I walk tall and I’m full of life. My colleagues compliment me every time I walk into the office. I will recommend the programme to anybody who wants to see real change in their lives”.

I’ve conditioned my mind and in the process gained self-esteem, self-confidence, self-discipline and self-acceptance. The reason I say self-acceptance, is that I know I won’t have a perfect body or level of fitness, but I will definitely achieve my current and future goals.

On Monday evening, after having visited family members, my husband asked whether I felt him staring at me and I said no, why. His response was that he thought I looked great and much younger than the other ladies who, by the way, are all younger than me, have less kids than us and have only been married for a few years.

I have succeeded and failed before but this time it’s different for me, mentally.  My attitude to everything and everyone around me has changed, you have helped me to be a better person. I still have some un-resolved issues but by just accepting them, I’ll be patient enough for when the time comes.

I feel comfortable talking to you and your team, I’m so relaxed and have a sense of welcoming from the minute I walk in, to when I leave.

I don’t often weigh myself and usually judge by my clothing, but I just have to share my joy with you and your team, that after just 3 weeks I have lost 8kg!

Warmest regards,

A very satisfied client

Dear Gordon,

I visited you in October last year, desperate to loose weight before our December cruise aboard the Sinfonia boat. I was 44 at that stage and weighed 75.5kg’s. You recommended that I follow the Detox and Weight Management programme and felt positive that I will see results before my cruise on the 6th of December. I must admit at the time I was very sceptical as I tried many other programmes before, with very little success. I however embarked on the programme and was also surprised to find that the blood tests revealed that my body is insulin resistant. The first 2 weeks were tough but thereafter I adjusted to the shakes and eating plans and soon saw incredible results. I kept daily track of my weight and couldn’t wait to weigh myself every morning. At the time we went aboard the boat, my weight had dropped to 65.5kg’s and despite the cruise and the Christmas holidays, I managed to reach my target weight of 62kg at the end of January. I have never looked and felt better in my life, and people continuously comment on my weight loss and the way I look. My husband thinks I look amazing and has sponsored an entire new wardrobe as my dress size dropped from a 14 to a 10. I can’t thank you enough for the support and encouragement throughout the programme and will be eternally grateful to you and the team. I now feel like a 44-year old woman in the body of a 30-year old and this is an amazing boost to my confidence and self esteem. I have made a promise to myself to continue with the healthy eating habits and exercising and so far my weight remains stable at 62kg’s. Once again thank you for an amazing programme.

“Dear Dr Cohen,

I’m only two weeks into the Detox and “Wellness” programme but I have to thank you for changing my life in many ways you do not know.

If you can recall the day I walked into your office, I mentioned my reason I joined your programme was firstly because of health and loosing the weight will follow.  What I hadn’t mentioned, was that I was actually a depressed 42 year old grandmother of two, mother of 4 kids, who was on the verge of seeing a therapist, as I could not cope with the rejection of my eldest son.  I do still shed a tear, however I’ve come to realize how important what you eat and exercising is to a person emotionally too and I can now look/take it as it comes, step by step.

Today I will be walking into your office and appointments to follow, as a new person inside and out. The positive energies are with me and it seems to be rubbing off on my high school sweetheart and husband of 25 years to be (25th April 2010).  He is so amazed and looks at me through a clean window…….LOL

I now know there are no limitations in life, which I’m currently experiencing and will take with me long after the 3 month programme, with your help.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Suzelle for the professionalism and prompt response to my e-mail yesterday”.

The Detox and Wellness programme - prescribed by Dr Cohen of The Melrose Aesthetic Centre – as experienced by client “S”: “I had no energy and wasn’t happy with my body weight. My concern about whether I was going to be able to cope on the Detox and Wellness programme was quickly put to rest after a few weeks of following the eating plan. This is so easy!  I’ve lost weight, gained energy and I am on top of the world!”
