My Philosophy

“Everything the experts tell us about diet, food, health and exercise

is aimed at the whole population…and we are not all the same.”

Just because your best friend, sister, husband, co-worker swears by hot sweaty yoga, the Paleo Diet, barefoot running or eating twigs and berries doesn’t mean it’s the right thing for you. All admirable pursuits, but not necessarily for everyone.

You’re you. Not them. Question your doctor, friends, Oprah, Dr. Oz, Suzanne Somers, Paula Dean. Ask for different opinions. Read everything you can get you hands on.

The message here is – It’s all about perseverance. Keep trying new things until you find something that works for you. A way of eating that makes you happy and healthy. A way of exercising that actually challenges you and is something you look forward to.

It’s not a walk in the park. You have to want it and own it. All of it. Good and bad. But know in the end that it will be so worth it.

Changing you life takes commitment and work, it can be hard and time consuming. That totally makes you want to curl up on the sofa with a glass of wine and watch a marathon of The Housewives of Orange Country instead of changing your life doesn’t it?

Let me do the leg work. Based on an in-depth discussion and your goals, I’ll develop a customized health, wellness, nutrition, exercise plan that is the right one for you. You and you alone.

I am a Certified Holistic Nutrition Counselor and received my training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories – combing the knowledge of traditinal philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods.
