My Story
As a certified health counselor, I help women to make the changes they desire to live full, healthy, joyful lives. We can create strong, healthy bodies by eating fresh, whole foods, enhancing our nutrition and including the kind of fresh air and exercise we most enjoy. By creating balance in all areas of our lives, from foods and supplements to relationships and careers, we can reduce stress and achieve renewed vitality. I encourage my clients to live as big a life as they can imagine and to savor the wonderful sampling of delicious experiences life holds for each of us. I chose this profession to create balance in my own life and practice what inspires me most--helping other women to feel and look terrific, while expressing their highest selves! Seeing a loved one's life greatly diminished by disease, I was determined to strengthen my own mind, body and spirit to live large--not the typical fame and fortune kind of large, but in doing whatever it takes to authentically express the soul that came into this world. I believe it all starts with a foundation of health. Then, like the conch shell in the sea, our well being spirals outward to include greater, more fantastic living and growing experiences for a bigger and better life. When clients ask me about my practice, I say that I am a little bit coach, counselor and teacher. We start with healthy eating, then look at life satisfaction in all areas, and learn how to live in balance through a variety of tools and venues (individual or group counseling, classes, DVDs, Potluck Dinners, handouts, CDs, my overflowing lending library and much more). I utilize a background that includes a Master's in Public Health from Boston University, with a concentration in Behavioral Change; a BA in Journalism from Oakland University; and a BS in Psychology from Grand Valley State University; as well as my more recent Certification as a Holistic Health Counselor from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Columbia University in New York City. My own behavioral change process, which gradually shifted to a healthier and healthier lifestyle, is a major reason I am able to understand and support you in your health goals for mind/body/spirit. We all know life is short. Chronic conditions brought on by poor lifestyle and eating habits, genetics, environment or even menopausal symptoms don’t have to be endured. If you are willing to make the commitment and approach this with an open mind, I would be honored to coach you through the process of making your body well and your life well worth living.Contact me today to schedule your free consultation.
