"Journey to a Healthier Me has shown me that I can do this. It has shown me how to cook healthier for the whole family. I have tried food items that I know I wouldn’t have without this program. Thank you for the support."

"I have really enjoyed the class so far because I have someone to hold me accountable for what I eat and lack of exercise. I love the feedback the facilitator gives me on everything from my action plan to my fitness and food log."

"The atmosphere Rolanda creates and fosters is safe and easily entreated. She is supportive and we operate as a team. She often says we win together or we fail together. We love her."

"I’ve learned a lot about eating healthier and keeping track of foods. I have been able to reset some of my poor patterns of eating with some success."

"It has been eye opening and soul inspiring. I wish I had done this when I was in my 20’s. Rolanda has gone outside the box to help us. She has given us so many helps and aids to support health issues and other concerns. She is committed and dedicated to her profession. She is very likeable and often tells us she is journeying with us. We love each other and we support each other and Rolanda has given us that. This class is so great. Casey and Amanda are great too!"

"I found this program through the Cabarrus Co. Senior Center at just the right time. I feel so lucky to have such a supportive program and it has helped me a lot."
