For as long as I can remember, I have always had a passion for health and wellness. My mother recently showed me a picture of myself at the age of four or five, wearing a pair of plastic doctor’s glasses, a stetha scope and holding a knee reflex hammer and was trying to examine our our cat.
At the age of seven, my mom enrolled my family in Tae Kwon Do, which was the beginning of my love for physical activity and even though I didn’t realize it at the time, Tae Kwon Do was not only teaching me physical discipline, it was more teaching me the mental discipline that I would eventually need down the road. In 1980, at the age of ten, I was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes. The discipline I learned through practicing martial arts helped when I struggled to understand my own nutrition, blood sugar and weight issues. I continued on a path that was fueled by a strong desire to help others understand more about their health and the mind body connection.
Since then,I truly believe many opportunities have continued to train me for a career in health and nutrition. For four years, I also worked as a counselor for diabetic children 6-18 years old and it was during that time, I came to know what it was I was meant to do. I knew I wanted to be part of something that guided and taught people about feeling better, on every level. I wanted to leave people in better shape (mind, body and spirit) than when I met them. I didn’t know in what capacity I wanted to do this, but I knew that was the work I was meant for.
It all started to really come together for me in 1994 when I worked for a group of Holistic Chiropractors. It was through that experience I really began to understand if given a chance and some education, a person can heal and change themselves in ways they never thought possible. I was so inspired to continue down a path of helping people find what a balanced and healthy life meant to them... and live their best life. Finally, before going to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition school in 2007 to become a certfied Holistic Health Counselor and Diabetes Coach, I worked as Advocate for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, which taught me that just by listening and being present, a person will begin to heal and see the possibility of change. I am grateful for all my experiences and what I learned along the way. I see them all as training for my career as a Health and Wellness Councelor/Coach.
My education and the people I have met on my journey has been nothing short of amazing. The education I received at Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Beachbody has been life changing and to know I can go out into the world and make a difference in the lives of so many people is exciting and in turn, my life will continue to be enriched by my clients and their journey to wellness.
I look forward to continuing this journey with all of you!!
