Living the life of a SVP Marketing and Digital professional for over 15 years, I know from first-hand experience what impact the pressures and responsibilities of the corporate world, running your own business or the down turn in the economy can have on your ability live a healthy and inspired life.  For me, the impact was weight gain, poor diet and exercise habits, chronic pain from heavy computer use and difficulties balancing career and relationships.  Determined to get HEALTHY, I decided to become Nutrition and Wellness Coach to make a difference and help professionals like you achieve success and have the healthy lifestyle and enjoyment from life you deserve!

To receive my training, I attended the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in NYC and am now a Certified Holistic Health Counselor and registered member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.  At IIN, I was taught by the leaders in the Holistic Health and Nutrition field including Deepak Chopra, Marion Nestle and Andrew Weil and many others covering all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone diet and raw foods, Eastern and Western nutrition, contemporary health studies and health counseling.

I continued my training at the Natural Kitchen Cooking School in NYC. The Natural Chefs Training Program provides hands-on culinary experience combined with innovative nutritional approaches to food preparation. The program is designed to show how food can support a radiant level of health and wellness and I plan to share my knowledge and training with my clients.  I am now a Certified Natural Chef and teach a Superfoods 101 Nutrition and Cooking Class classes and share simple, easy recipes with my clients.

I am currently enrolled in the Yoga Teacher Training program with Yoga Vida in New York City.  I will complete my certification in December and look forward to sharing this wonderful experience of a yogic lifestyle.

I offer private and group Nutrition and Wellness Natural Foods Coaching programs. I also offer corporate workshops such as “Bone Health 101”, “Superfoods and Green Smoothies”.  I also created and teach a Superfoods 101 Cooking and Nutrition Class. Soon yoga will be incorporated into my program and I plan to teach yoga classes.
