MY TRAINING
I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where I learned nutritional science, disease prevention, innovative coaching methods, practical lifestyle management techniques, and over 100 dietary theories. I took advanced classes in Hormone Health which means I am trained in helping you to achieve hormonal balance.
I chose to get my Qi Gong training from Lee Holden (Chi Center/Qi Gong Training Institute in Santa Cruz, California) and Nick Loffree (International Chi Dojo). I learned so much about healing, healthy living and how to live the most balanced life from both Nick and Lee. I trained with Dr. Nan Lu on Qi Gong for Breast Health and offer my services (both Qi Gong and nutritional counseling) free of charge to those diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
My education has equipped me with extensive, cutting-edge knowledge in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and disease prevention. Drawing on my expertise, I work with my clients to help make lifestyle changes and choose health-promoting ways that produce real and lasting results. Through our work together, you will develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you and that will improve your energy, balance, health, and happiness.
Each of our sessions will leave you feeling inspired and motivated. We will talk about things beyond food, seeking to bring balance to important elements of your life such as love and relationships as well as career, money and the organization of your home's kitchen and pantry. I will personally and carefully guide you to make simple, small changes that will transform your life.
