Cheryl has been a great help to me through a very confusing time in my life. She's a great listener, and allowing me to vent these things that I've been too afraid to let out into the rest of the world has been invaluable in and of itself. In addition to that she's helped me to come to terms with where my problems lie and what I needed to do to get on the road to a better tomorrow. I'm doing much better today thanks to her help, so I'd definitely recommend her.

I recently went to Cheryl to help me understand my body. She helped me see that food is not an enemy.
I am very grateful for all of her help.

I moved here from the south and for some reason, my digestive system went through so many changes, partially, i think, due to the different types of foods I was exposed to upon my arrival to NYC. Believe it or not, I actually ate extremely healthy while living in the south but the on the go lifestyle of New York changed my diet for the worst. A friend of mine recommended Cheryl in order to try and help me get back on track with my healthy eating lifestyle. Not only did Cheryl, help me get back on track, but she showed me how I could still enjoy the "sinful" foods that I've grown to love upon moving here, without them being so sinful. Cheryl introduced me to an organic, all natural way of eating and how easy it can be to still eat healthy on the go. I HIGHLY recommend her because I haven't gained on ounce since I started working with her :)

I went to see Cheryl because I was suffering from acne and overweight. I tried everything I could to alleviate these too problems: medications, crash diets, starvation, cleanses etc. Nothing seemed to work! I found Cheryl while googling holistic nutrition on the internet, thinking maybe that was a possible solution. When I found Cheryl, I struck gold!!!

Cheryl helped me to understand that my weight and acne are just symptoms letting me know I am doing something wrong. They are clues to help me understand that I need to change my behavior in order to feel healthy. Cheryl tested me for food sensitivities and then I found out that dairy was the culprit! When I cut dairy out of my diet for a few weeks my skin started to clear and I lost 6lbs. I later reintroduced dairy to my diet once or twice a week and managed to maintain my weight and clear skin.

Thanks Cheryl!!! You are a godsend.

I started seeing Cheryl because I was having major problems keeping my weight at a normal level. I was eating as a direct response to my emotions, and my confidence was at an all-time low. Well, in short, seeing her has been a true stabilizing force in my life. In our first appointment, I felt she took the time to really get to know me and spent more time with me than she needed to. I felt a noticeable difference after just that single session. Gradually, we began sorting out the reasons for my problem and I was able to come to terms with most of them, though it was not easy. Now, I not only consider her my eating counselor, I consider her a friend. Thank you Cheryl, you are my rock!

Pros: Great listener, caring individual, highly knowledgeable

I contacted Cheryl about weight loss. Unlike others I met with who simply created a diet for me, Cheryl explained to me how the foods I was eating were affecting me--why they caused me to gain weight, lose energy, etc. She completely changed the way I think about food. Thanks again Cheryl!

I have been suffering with Irritable Bowel Syndrome for many years. It is very embarassing for me and has caused issues at school and work. I have seen many doctors and taken tons of medications and nothing worked. When I found Cheryl Fawn, I was looking for a holistic method of healing. Cheryl tested me for food sensitivities and I finally discovered the true cause of my IBS. Since I cut the foods out that I am sensitive too, I rarely have IBS symptoms anymore. Thanks again!

I have been struggling with bulimia for years. I have seen many different therapists and psychiatrists over the years but nothing ever really seemed to help. I decided to Cheryl after reading about her personal battles with eating disorders and her holistic approach. This was the best decision I ever made!

Cheryl has taught me so much about the root of my eating disorder. I finally understand that being bulimic is not all my fault. I realize that there are physical and emotional symptoms that have caused this. For instance, I learned that my wheat allergy was contributing to my bulimia all along. I also now understand that in order to fight the bulimia, I need to battle with other life situations first.

Thanks so much Cheryl for everything!!!

I can not remember a time in the past five years when I did not get a stomachache after the majority of meals I ate. I tried to stay away from unhealthy foods (i.e. french fries, pizza) but it didn't seem to matter. People told me to see a doctor but I didn't really feel that there was anything he/she could do and I didn't feel like going through a million tests for no reason..

Finally, a friend of mine told me that she had a great nutritionist who was really easy to talk to and very knowledgeable, Cheryl Fawn. I went to see Cheryl and she really made me feel comfortable about my stomach issues. I could tell that she really understood what I was going through. Cheryl administered a food allergy test and put me on an elimination diet. After a short while, it became clear that I had an intolerance to dairy products. Since this realization, I have cut dairy out of my diet and have not had a stomach ache since. I can not thank Cheryl enough, she truly changed my life and I would recommend her nutritional services to anyone.

From our first discussion I realized that, even though I have a medical degree and I have studied nutrition, it was your education, insight and ability to communicate that enabled me to effectively invoke and sustain proper eating habits. I never realized how disastrous some foods could be. I never knew that they subtly interact to make "willpower" almost meaningless. I felt as if I was too "weak" to invoke self control. I didn't know that food substances could render useless one's desire to get thin and healthy.

God bless you and your talents. Thank you!

Before meeting with Cheryl, I was breaking out in terrible acne and always tired. Cheryl decided to test me for numerous food allergies in order to try to figure out what the problem was. As it turns out, I am intolerant to wheat and gluten. I had follow up testing and discovered that I have Celiac Disease. Cheryl helped me to transition to a gluten free diet. It's been 3 months and I am already feeling more energetic and my skin is clearing! Thank you so much Cheryl for all your knowledge!

Since I've been working with Cheryl, I've been feeling much much better. It is almost like speaking to her reminded me of some part of myself that has always been there, but I forgot. I love myself more now. She helped me to feel so understood. I realized that having an eating disorder has been a very difficult challenge in my life and I have been loving myself again! It is so amazing. I forgot what it was like to love myself!
