Client Testimonials

"I was sick, overweight, and I felt very helpless in regards to my health. I have numerous health issues, and I was determined to feel better. So, I did what most of us do. I went to all of my doctor visits, and took all of the medications they recommended. The problem was, I never felt like my health was improving. With each doctor's visit, I was getting worse. I wanted to change my life, but I was overwhelmed on where to start. That is, until I met Koko. Koko is such a kind person and I immediately felt comfortable. Within the first week of working with her, I felt amazing. I slept better and I started to lose weight. When I had questions, Koko was always there to guide me. I can't say enough good things about her and her programs. If you are wanting to change your life and the way you view food, I recommend you to contact her. Not only is she responsible for lowering my cholesterol and managing my blood sugars more effectively, but I’m finally in tune with body and what it needs without restrictive dieting.”

- Susan, Lakewood, CA

"I really enjoyed Koko's elimination diets and cleanses. They teach me how to eat for my body and with the seasons. It is so wonderful to pause, evaluate our daily routine, and change it so we can maximize our experience. Making small adjustments to my daily routine and eating new, fresh meals increased my energy levels, improved my digestion, educated me about food intolerances, and helped clear up my skin. Yes, it's hard to carve out the time for everything, which makes the program so wonderful. Koko helps personalize each and every day of the program together."  

- Katie, Los Angeles, CA

"I had always guessed that I was sensitive to dairy and gluten, but going through her elimination diet program intensified my symptoms of intolerance when these foods were re-introduced back into my diet. I feel so much lighter and energetic when I leave both dairy and gluten out of my diet. I started the program at 157 lbs and ended at 148 lbs. I ended up extending the program for 3 weeks before adding in the recommended foods, and it was obvious how lethargic my energy became and how my digestion slowed down resulting in bloating and constipation. From now on, I plan to stay away from those foods that don't serve me and I can maintain my ideal weight without counting calories." 

- Bethany, Newport Beach, CA

"I came to Koko suffering from twenty years of GI problems including IBS, reflux & heartburn. I was at a loss of what to do and saw an allergist who ran tests which basically showed I was allergic to every type of food including dairy, eggs, casein, yogurt, yeast, mushrooms, cucumbers, chocolate and coffee. During our consultation together, Koko listened to me. She let me talked about my health concerns, my goals, my current diet, my favorite comfort foods, my favorite restaurants, and my on-the-go lifestyle. Instead of telling me I had to completely eliminate everything from my diet, she took the time to educate me on my diagnosis in a language that I could understand and gave me hope that I could treat my symptoms through dietary and lifestyle changes. She told me we would begin to look at food as medicine (rather than rely on Nexium and Zantacs every day) and would most likely have to gradually cut out some of the main triggers such as spicy foods, fried foods, tomatoes, and soda. After signing up for a 6-month program with her, we would set mini goals for each week, including food journaling which I dreaded. But, I was able to pinpoint in my journal that almonds, tomatoes, and cheese gave me severe GI distress. She would always check-in with me throughout the week and send me new health articles and handouts that were relevant to what we were discussing. She introduced me to kelp noodles, mung bean pasta, and zucchini noodles so I could still satisfy my love for pasta. She would introduce me to new healthy items at the grocery store, exercise with me, and even led a yoga class with me in her studio. She gave me the confidence to eat out at restaurants, ask for all of the ingredients in my meal, and notify the waiter of any of my dietary restrictions. She taught me how to read food labels and how to spot artificial ingredients immediately. She introduced me to raw desserts like carob avocado pudding. I did her whole foods liver cleanse and all of the recipes were delicious and easy to prepare. Most importantly, she taught me how to be in tune with my body and was patient with me. My journey isn’t complete, but I am much more confident now that I have the tools to make smarter choices for my body." 

-Trina, Seal Beach, CA

"I have suffered from Rheumatoid Arthritis since 2007. Koko led me through an elimination diet and cleanse to figure out which foods were causing my inflammation. When I started this cleanse, I was experiencing a lot of painful flares. On day four, my flares were gone! I couldn't believe it. I haven't had a flare or been in pain since. I have more energy. I have lost weight and I feel awesome. I recommend working with Koko to everyone. I'm empowered to take my health into my own hands rather than rely on medication." 

-Renee, Long Beach, CA

"I'm so glad I found Koko! There are so many diets and diet tips out there that it can be quite overwhelming to figure out how to eat healthier. I wanted to find a way to incorporate "magic" foods - chia seeds, goji berries etc.- into my diet, but didn't know where to begin. Koko made the process so much easier. After the cleanse, I have had less cravings for junk food and don't feel weighted down by my body. I have learned new recipes that are easy to incorporate into my every day life and I will continue to use them. I now have a greater desire to eat clean! After all, this is the only body I have & I want to keep it healthy! Thank you, Koko!" 

- Michelle, Los Alamitos, CA

"Cleansing with Koko was truly an easy, informative, and exciting way to begin my healthy way of living. I learned of and tried foods that I would have never tried on my own. I have taken control of how and what I eat and feel really good about that! Thank you Koko!" 

- Linda, Long Beach, CA

"Through this cleanse, I have been pleasantly surprised to find out that I am not only capable, but enjoying incorporating some major things into my daily food choices:  morning smoothies, coconut water versus diet sodas, Ezekiel bread versus regular white bread.  I would not have realized that I can easily substitute items without going through the cleanse. Adapting the organic lifestyle and keeping my portions reasonable allowed me to lose 14.9 pounds over 11 days.  I started the cleanse at 238 and ended it at 223.1.  As a result, my knees have less stress on them, which is important considering I have recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. The intangible that I picked up through the cleanse is to simply take extra time into making my food decisions.   Those extra minutes taken when selecting a meal, or planning a days worth of meals make a huge difference, especially when I have set health, fitness, and weight-loss goals for myself. Thank you, Koko!" 

- Paul, Los Alamitos, CA

"This has been such a wonderful experience. I feel so empowered and I can't stop talking about it. You have taught me so much and I now feel enlightened about my health. Thank you and I look forward to doing yoga classes with you! I am feeling really great and energized. Sleeping great also!"

- Stacey, Long Beach, CA

"I've been recommending working with Koko and explaining that cleansing with her is NOT a "restrictive" diet like a juice or starvation cleanse, but one that is great for anyone. It's limited in what is approved, but not in quantity so your body won't panic that you're starving yourself. I loved experiencing the changes in my body - noticing how everything just felt like it was moving together as it should and that I wasn't poisoning myself with unnecessary toxins. It may seem like a long time (and there's never an "easy" time to do a cleanse), but once you get to Day 7 and finally, Day 11, you feel dramatically better. It's totally worth investing the time with Koko!" 

- Kelly, Long Beach, CA

"This was my very first cleanse and it was a great experience! Koko's daily encouragement and tips were something to look forward to every morning. If you're a rookie cleanser like I was, Koko's program is awesome! The recipes and menu are very easy to follow and quite flexible to cater to your needs. To be honest, I'm continuing with the elixir and keeping the recipe guide on hand to continue with a lot of the healthy practices I've learned on this cleanse. Thank you, Koko!"  

- Pam, Fresno, CA

"11 days can seem like a daunting challenge to commit to, but after the first couple days my body began to adjust and I could really feel the positive effects of the cleanse. After my body shed the toxins it was carrying around (which was the hardest part), everything just felt BETTER! I wasn't getting tired/sluggish in the afternoon, my mind was clearer, my energy was high, workouts felt strong and I just felt good knowing what I was putting in my body was going to do nothing but improve. Koko made contact with us every single day during the cleanse, to check-in, provide tips and reminders, and just general encouragement to remind us that the investment in our health is absolutely worth it. When I had questions or needed suggestions to deal with detox/withdrawal symptoms, adding protein, etc., she was quick to respond with information above and beyond what I could have asked for. While it's a challenge for me to commit 100% to continuing this program/lifestyle moving forward, this was a great "reset" for my body and I'm easily carrying forward the majority of the habits/guidelines that I've learned. I would definitely do another cleanse with Koko, and have been recommending this program to all of my friends, family, and co-workers." 

- Ashley, San Francisco, CA

"Cleansing with Koko was a great way to kickstart into a healthier diet and learn about food synergy. I loved learning about new snacks, why foods were nutritious and having a guided recipe plan. I highly recommend this program for anyone! Thank you for introducing me to this. I appreciate your time and knowledge very much. Can't wait to tell my friends!" 

- Leah, Long Beach, CA

"It takes a person with high commitment to go through a 21-day cleanse, but when I did it with Koko, it didn't feel like work. I felt like I had a friend cheering me on from the sidelines each and every day, and an expert in holistic living/eating that I can put my trust in. It never felt like work, and I was excited to try all of the amazing recipes. I would recommend this program to anybody looking to change their eating habits, see amazing results and learn about healthy living. Koko is an inspiration and wonderful leader!" 

- Eva, Seattle, WA

"I was hesitant to start another detox. Most detox are intimidating and very hard to keep up especially for a new mom like me. I find this 11 day program simple and easy to follow. It helped improve my digestive system and pinpoint food that can cause my upset stomach. Koko was very supportive and has a good knowledge on ways to incorporate this into my lifestyle. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to change but is afraid of the commitment." 

- Chanthou, Huntington Beach, CA

"Koko's program was extremely beneficial to me and I noticed a difference from a mind-body-soul perspective. I am more aware of different feelings in my body as it pertains to food. Also, I feel more connected. I love the recipes and felt that the program was excellent and easy to follow. Thank you!" 

- Ashley, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

"I was excited to enter the cleanse and find ways to combat personal insecurities and break old habits. I wanted to clear up my skin, sleep better, get rid of my under eye circles and balance my sugar/craving levels. After just 48 hours, I felt clairvoyance. I was able to maintain my composure in personal and professional settings and did not feel dependent on any chemicals (caffeine, sugar, etc...) to help me through my day. I felt the crap in my body release and kept my energy and mood levels up!"

- Katie, Los Angeles

“Koko delivered food to me in the hospital one day after having my second child. I felt incredibly grounded with every bite of this meal and nourished at a very deep level. It was prepared so thoughtfully and with so much love and intention. I knew I was giving my body exactly what it needed for optimal healing. I felt physically better after eating this beautiful mixture of meals and received many compliments that the color of my breast milk was absolutely beautiful from the nurses. I knew it had to do with the quality fuel that I had put into my body. The New Mama Package is my go-to gift for anyone welcoming new babies.

— Katie, Aliso Viejo

“I am so grateful for Koko’s nourishing food. This was such a gift & blessing to have this added support for our 3rd postpartum. I felt so extra cared for- you can feel the Love Koko puts into every dish & drink. She is a gem! I keep telling everyone I know- new mamas or anyone in a season where they are needing healing foods or want to gift healing foods that they must get Koko’s food. Every dish was delicious! We still keep ordering her donuts & Kheer to have her healing yummy food & presence in our home. Thank you x 1000 Koko for offering such a beautiful food package that gave us such peace of mind of one less thing to think about & carried me through the 1st postpartum week. I only wish we would have done this after our first 2 births!”

- Lisa, Irvine



“Koko’s postpartum meals were a huge blessing for me after having my son. Koko creates her dishes with great knowledge about the foods and herbs that support postpartum healing. Not only are the meals delicious and nourishing, but I could taste the intention and love in every bite. Also, the convenience of having healthy prepared meals on hand was a huge support. The services Koko offers are such a great way to support postpartum women!”

- Jen, San Clemente

I ordered Koko’s “Healing Foods package” to get inspiration and a jump start into making healthier changes with my meals. It was a perfect timing order because I ended up getting Covid two days before the food arrived. It is exactly what I needed to get better quickly. I knew the anti-inflammatory plant-based dishes were going to help with keeping my body efficient to focus on healing while keeping the congestion down. It took me a few days to get over my worst symptoms and I never ended up with a fever. I am now 100% and have made changes to my meals. The food was delicious and I was able to tell it was prepared with so much love. I am so grateful to Koko and her services!"
