"I had so many health issues six months ago that I did not know what else to do and who else to go to. Then I was introduced by someone in church to Dr. Shirley Powell.  I had high blood pressure, bloating, acid reflux, sleep problems, dizziness, blurry eyes,and fatigue -- just to name a few. After seeing Dr. Powell and following her wellness recommendations, I am now a new person. I never felt so healthy.  Every health problem I had has disapeared, and I have also lost 21 pounds.  Eating right and exercising are now part of my daily routine.  I thank God for loving me so much to
lead me to Dr. Powell.  Thanks, Dr. Powell, and may the Lord continue to bless you in all areas of your life and give you even more knowledge.  My testimony is true, and I am more than happy to share it and lead more people to God's natural provisions."  Ginette Jean, Silver Spring, Maryland.

"For the past 20 years, I have suffered with digestion problems. In the past five years my condition has escalated from simple constipation and gas to IBS and acid reflux... I also had reproductive problems. I had two ectopic pregnancies and one miscarriage. It was at this time that I decided to take a more natural approach. I was referred to Shirley D. Powell by a coworker.... Since then my digestion problems have nearly ceased, and they are now under my control. I have regular bowl movements, where before I could go days without having one. Not only have I gained control over my digestive problems; I am also pregnant. Natural healing has proven to me that God is in control of this body, as He is our Creator. Doctors can only do so much. Thanks to the education that Shirley has provided my husband and I, we now eat to live; not live to eat. I have never felt better. Thanks for your help. Glory to God." Janus Miranda, Silver Spring, Maryland

"After attending the HBP workshop, I modified my diet to incorporate more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts (we have cut down significantly on processed foods and meats) and in just a couple of weeks, I have noticed some remarkable changes in my blood pressure as well as my weight. I truly believe that we are what we eat and we must learn to use the natural, whole foods that God has made available so that our bodies can perform according to His design. I am grateful that you are following God's purpose for your life and allowing God to use you to teach others about the benefits of His bounty. I am thankful to God for leading me down this path to completeness - sprit, soul and body." Robin Henson

"For the first time, I can honestly say that I am enjoying eating healthy. I have discovered that healthy food is not only nutritious but very tasty. I thought I would miss meat, but I really have not. I have noticed also that my digestion and elimination is much better. Thanks to Shirley's workshop, I was able to sample good dishes and I want to learn how to fix them for myself. I actually want to make the time to fix these healthy dishes as well as share them with others. Thank you, Shirley, for imparting your culinary skills and showing us that taking care of Gods temple is vital for our walk with him. See ya at the next workshop!" Gail Davis, DDS, Gaithersburg, MD

"Due to procrastination and time management issues, I found it very difficult to assume a healthier lifestyle by eating and preparing healthier food. But from attending your food preparation workshop, you gave a lot of tips as to how this could be done. You showed us very quick meal preparations for foods with an abundance of nutrients. I found it very enlightening and workable, and I can use some of those tips for my schedule in order to set me on the road to a healthier lifestyle. So I found the workshop to be beneficial. You were able to prepare healthy and delicious meals, and you were able to manage it into my schedule." Verl Campbell, Silver Spring, Maryland

"Ms. Powell has challenged my thinking on how to take care of the nutritional aspect of my body. Ms. Powell conducted an in-home workshop for a group of people in which I attended. I was impressed with her professionalism and in depth knowledge that exuded from her very being. She communicates what she knows very well for the common person. She has an excellent command of the English language. I highly recommend Temple Care: Body, Mind, & Spirit for workshops, presentations, speaking engagements, and one-on-one sessions at your church, business office, or conference settings in whatever capacity to meet your nutritional needs. If you are serious about changing your eating habits and seek to know practical ways to care for your temple (body) nutritionally, please open your heart and doors to Shirley D. Powell, Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Nutritional Counselor". John Y. Walker Jr., Pastor, Walls of Salvation Church Ministries

"Shirley Powell was instrumental in providing a holistic nutritional approach to teaching the residents how to care for their bodies, minds, and spirits. Ms. Powell shared a wealth of knowledge with the women, building up their self-esteem and self-worth. She was truly an asset to the program in providing disadvantaged women with additional tools to believe that 'they too could succeed.'" Sharon Cartledge, Vice President, Evolve Women's Network
