“I want to make certain I express to you that I’m so thrilled to be working with you! I’m doing a lot of work physically/mentally/spiritually and I’m so thankful that you’ve come into my life to help me on my journey. I feel a greater sense of balance and wellness than I have in I-don’t-know-how-long and it feels really good. I feel healthy and strong and fit- and beyond that, comfortable in my own skin & happy with myself & my life.” – Julie Nielsen, Mpls

“It only matters that I showed up and it changed my life! You want to be healthier? You will be. You want to lose weight and inches? You will. You want to gain strength? You will. I have gained knowledge and tools to find my strength, to be myself and release my true spirit. This has helped me uncover the very strong and powerful woman within and also helped me to become stronger physically. Now it’s part of my daily life. Every day is different and everyone’s experience will be their own. There are days when I smile and laugh with my teachers. I know I don’t have to hide the tears when they also show up. I am thankful to have the opportunity to learn from both Ron Morris and Angel Obert. All I do is show up! Love to all” – Barb Roberts a.k.a Balls, Stillwater

“What fascinates me about Angel’s way of teaching is that she shows you a new perspective, a fresh way of thinking of health and to help you become better! She educates in smarter ways to grocery shop, cook, eat and to train your body physically “No more 3 hour workouts!”. She shows you deep physical movements that take as little as 10 minutes a day that can make you feel like you workout for 3 hours.
I considered myself a person that would try to eat healthy and workout. I always thought the low fat, reduced fat were good for you and that a 2-3 hour workout was the only way to train. I did not realize that there was a more efficient and effective way.
Angel has brought to my awareness mostly to food and the importance it has in our lives for nutrition and cleansing and that the less processed foods you put in your body the better. I believe that our junk foods are causing cancers and obesity. I also now eat as much organic and natural foods as possible vs. processed foods. I also cook a lot more and use all real foods. Yes, organic tends to be more expensive, but I am also not buying any junk food along with it. The organic and natural foods satisfy me where as processed foods kept me craving throughout the day.
I learn something every time I am with Angel and it is not always physical movement, it could be about anything. What I learned today was that I can have Angel’s Heart Healthy Soup for breakfast.” – Jen Turnbull, Forest Lake

“Angel is amazing and very passionate about her career. I always look forward and enjoy attending her classes. I am stronger and more flexible since attending her classes and have been able to handle stress in a more positive way. The breathing techniques have been very beneficial and I practice that every chance I get… especially when driving in traffic…..ha! She brings us a wealth of information at the classes and works with us to push ourselves to new limits. This is important since we don’t always know our limits. Angel will always takes time to answer our questions so all reap the benefits of her research and commitment to our health and well-being. She also asks us what we need from her which really speaks to her interest in us as individuals. I really enjoyed the speaker on Kinesiology at one of her classes and look forward to other speakers she has planned for the future.
Angel’s website contains something for everybody for day/evening and weekend classes. There is a wealth of other information including recipes.
I am proud to call her my daughter and my lifestyle consultant. Keep up the great work. Love you, Mom” – (Mary Clark)

“I absolutely love Angel’s classes; I look forward to them every week and have only missed 2 classes due to the death of my Dad last summer.
The classes have helped me in so many ways, from breathing techniques to an education in healthy foods, gaining new friendships and support, now having exercises and strength training that works for my body, not to mention learning how to find time for myself. This is all been possible through the inspiration and information from the greatest instructor I have ever had.
At each class, we touch on different things mentally and physically. The style in which Angel teaches is flexible and intuitive, she goes with the flow of the energy of the participants, which makes each and every session personal to each individual.
For me, she hits it dead on for what I need that very day!
The excitement of being in her classes is that I look forward to weekly and daily changes in my life one step at a time, most importantly the changes that happen on the inside that create the changes on the outside.
This class is not for anyone who wants a “quick fix”, this is life changing, which takes time. It took you a while to get where you are right now, so give yourself time to become healthy, then the exterior results come with commitment and will to want real change.
This is the way I chose to become healthy and feel is the true perspective to health and fitness in our lives. We all have to uncover, figure out and find out what our bodies need from us. First we can begin to realize what is good for our lifestyle and our body chemistry. I have personally went through a lot in the past year with my Dad having prostate cancer and going through the dying process with him and then the loss of him. This class has been a big tool that I have been able to use on a daily basis to help cope with the ups and downs and challenges that this life has brought me.
I could continue writing about all the wonderful things that can be experienced through Angel and her teachings, but this is my story and everyone has a different one to tell. Wouldn’t you like to know yours? I would encourage anyone to try out a class and to really commit to it. Like I said, this is a life changing experience and it will take time to sink in. What it is not is a diet or a gimmick, but a philosophy that actually works and I can promise that it will change you forever. That sounds worth it!”

“Dangerously Obese, I needed a truthful solution. The future for me was heart attack, diabetes, or early death, where to turn? As life unfolds, solutions are always presented. Mine came in the form of Angel Obert and Ron Morris. So to make a long story short because of the education and support I received I am 70 pounds lighter (still losing), I hike mountains and actually live my life to a fuller extent that I thought possible.” – John Peterson, age 52

“At last I have a true complement that accommodates my real physical needs. Through Angel I have been educated and equipped with valuable tools and techniques that spring from the Hanzo philosophy. To say the least this has dramatically improved and transformed my well-versed education in the physical.”

Angel-
“Thank you so much for everything you helped us with throughout this week. I’ve been trying to find something like that for a while.”
“First of all, I appreciated all of the nutrition advice you gave us, you made it sound so much easier than just cutting out ‘bad food’ because healthy food really is delicious! I’m definitely going to go grocery shopping with my parents now.”
“The workouts you showed us are easy to understand, and I still feel as much of a workout as I would with a 3 hour workout.”
“The whole thing with our goals really inspired me. I know I’ll be able to accomplish my goal and many other goals in the future if I follow the steps you gave us. I loved that you told us all of our answers are inside of us, and we just have to de-clutter.”
“You said that anything is possible and that we can do anything, that we just have to get past our fears. That really helped me, since I am a very anxious person and I always assume the worst.”
“I now really truly know to always listen to my body, because the things it’s telling me are important. I now want to contact a Kinesiologist so that I can stay on track with how my body is supposed to be at this time in my life.”
“Thank you so much, I’m looking forward to doing more camps in the future!”
Thanks again,-Lucy, age 15

From Lucy’s Parents, Elizabeth and Paul Hayes:
As the parents of 3 girls, my husband and I are continuously seeking ways to encourage their independence, creative spirit, confidence and strength – both in body and spirit. Too often, the messages outside our home reinforce the negative stereotypes for girls that we’re working so hard to resist. Angel’s Empowerment Camp for Girls takes the spirit of “it takes a village” by offering the girls a sense of adventure that results in them learning how to be brave and face their fears, healthy eating and exercises for a strong body and learning to listen to yourself in making good decisions and inspiring confidence. My daughter Lucy really enjoyed the camp and plans to attend another. My husband and I appreciated the camp, as well, and plan to send our other daughters. Thank you!
