Freston continually cites the proven value of 'leaning into' change and the benefits of 'progress, not perfection.'


In 'O' Magazine, Oprah Winfrey wrote, "Kathy Freston struck a nerve for me by speaking of a higher level of awareness, what she calls 'spiritual integrity'...Kathy cautions that the way to full consciousness isn't to give up every poor choice at once. She says, Lean into it. Don't try to break a lifetime of bad habits overnight. I'm leaning."


On her show, Ellen Degeneres said, "I can't tell you how much Quantum Wellness has changed my life for the better."


And Dr. Dean Ornish says, "Kathy Freston has years of experience inspiring people to make intensive changes in diet and lifestyle that helped transform their lives for the better. Kathy's approach is multidimensional and multifactorial, a powerful blend of what works and why."
