I received my training to practice Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods. I am now a certified holistic health counselor and accredited by the American Association or Drugless Practitioners. My quest for health began at age 19 when I became a Registered Nurse working with critically ill patients. I helped them heal broken hearts, bones, recover from mulitsystem organ failure and heal mentally. I presently work as a cardiac nurse. Through all my experience as a nurse I realized that you should not wait until you are ill to address your health. Health and Nutrition is much more than just exercising, eating the right foods or being the "ideal" size. It is finding balance within yourself. This is done through developing your own unique nutrition plan based on your specific genetics, metabolic type, lifestyle and activity level. This is what it takes to live the healthiest happiest life possible.

It is my personal mission to help adults find this balance within themselves, allowing them to acheive their optimum health and find and reach their dreams!!!

I specalize in motivating adults to find the fun in exercise, how to make it permanent part of their daily routine and something that they actually look forward to.

Personally I was someone who barely passed gym class and now I have.....

Completed 6 marathons the most recent being the 2007 New York City Marathon

Presently I am working with Fleet Feet in West Hartford Connecticut and training for my first triathlon.
