I am a Certified Holistic Health Counselor (or Coach) and my focus and approach is primarily preventative. My training with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in partnership with Columbia University Teacher's College in June 2008 allowed me to hone and formalize what I had been practicing long before then. I've had the educational honor of hearing lectures and recieving information directly from Dr. Mehmet Oz, Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, Dr. Walter Willet, Iyanla Vanzant, and Dr. Joseph Mercola.

I received my training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition®. Based in New York City, Integrative Nutrition® is the largest nutrition school in the world. The school offers the world’s leading Health Coach Training Program™ and teaches over 100 dietary theories, practical lifestyle management techniques, and cutting-edge coaching methods.
