Level I & II Certification Class

Even through a Hurricane I taught an 8 hour raw food class and here is what one of my students had to say:

"I can NOT thank you enough for today's wonderful class! You really made my day, my year, and inspired me to no end! The food was ABSOLUTELY delicious, and the way you presented it (in the way you spoke, your professionalism, and your humor) made it so much fun! I loved it all. I can honestly say though that I will not need to eat for another week! I had a happy belly!"

I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH & LIFESTYLE

When was the last time you talked with someone about your health and received the personal attention you deserve?

It’s rare for anyone to get an hour to work on their nutrition and goals with a trained professional. As a Health Coach, I create a supportive environment that will enable you to achieve all of your health goals. I have studied all the major dietary theories and use practical lifestyle coaching methods to guide you in discovering which approach works best for you.

Most approaches to nutrition dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins. Instead of creating lists of restrictions and good and bad foods, I coach my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline.

No one diet works for everyone. I will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. I will also help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals.

Could one conversation change your life? Schedule a free initial consultation with me today!

Cure August Anxiety with Relaxation & Exercise

Relaxation and Exercise

Summer is often a time for serious play, time off and deep relaxation. Many of us use the summertime to rebuild our reserves for the rest of the busy year. In our work-crazed society we can lose sight of the benefits of slowing down and taking time to rest. Now that summer is in full swing, it's time to enjoy the restorative powers of reconnecting to your body through movement and relaxation.


The body loves to move. Even though our body is healthiest when it is getting appropriate physical activity, we often feel dread and boredom when we hear the word "exercise". Think for a moment of what type of movement you would consider fun as opposed to torturous. Perhaps you loathe the idea of a gym, but miss taking dance classes. Maybe you secretly want to try yoga or rollerblading. You could play touch football with your kids, walk with a neighbor in the mornings or go for a swim. The summer offers so many choices - it's simply up to you to choose which style of movement excites you. Your heart will thank you, your soul will be gratified, your limbs will be more fluid and you'll sleep better at night.


Summer is a unique time of year when we can do both our relaxation and our movement out in nature. Take a nap in a hammock and enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass. Go to the park and meditate or read under a favorite tree. One of the greatest places to rest in the summertime is by the water. There is something magical and restorative in water, and we naturally crave to be near it, by it or in it. Heading to the water, whether it is the beach, a lake or a kiddy pool, can be relaxing and rejuvenating.


Whether you are relaxing, exercising or both, notice that being outside in nature has a profound way of quieting the mind and reconnecting us to ourselves. Often this relaxation and peace of mind are what our bodies crave the most. So while summer is with us, strap on your sandals and enjoy the rich elements of sun, wind and water and the nourishment that they bring.


Hot August Tip: Water
Most of us are unaware of the importance of drinking enough water. Getting our daily dose of water helps our organs perform their functions, keeps our skin clear and hydrated, and allows physical action in our bodies to flow smoothly. Who holds you accountable for your water consumption?

Watermelon Time

Summer is here, so you know what that means, watermelon, I can't live without it. So, I go to my nearest
Wholefoods to get some yummy melon. When picking
one, you look for one that has a yellow spot, then you know it's
good.

Try Something New

Summer is finally in full force, and the living is easy! Do you notice in summertime how everything seems promising? The plants are in full bloom and the sun feels glorious on your skin. The longer days give you boundless energy, making you feel like it's possible to achieve all your desires and dreams. Why not harness this energy, ride the wave of summer and try something new?

Throughout the year we live at an intense pace (physical, emotional and mental), and we often get stuck in routine, either for the sake of efficiency or out of fear of unfamiliar territory. The lack of variety in doing the same things over and over stagnates not only our minds, but also our bodies and hearts. Are you hesitant to break your routine? Fear and excitement have the same physiological expression in our bodies; it is our mind that classifies the feeling as either positive or negative. So the next time you consider a change in routine and your mind says "scary!" see if you can re- frame it as "exciting!"

What is something you have never done before or that you have wanted to do for a long time? Choose your own adventure: organize a kayak trip, take a dance class, do some exotic traveling or set a goal for a new personal challenge. Or try something simple, like playing flashlight tag with your kids and neighbors or reading in the sunshine. Maybe it's time to discover a new vegetable dish or to visit a new town, restaurant or beach.

Whatever adventure calls to you, use this summer to make it happen and enjoy your life. Increasing new experiences and excitement in your life can decrease your dependence
on artificial stimulants like caffeine and sugar, leading to more vibrant health. Watch out for massive improvements in physical well-being, mental acuity and motivation, plus a full portfolio of fun.

Want more? Sign up for my monthly newsletter and receive raw vegan recipes and health tips monthly!

Happy July 4th!!

Enjoy your July!!!

Happy 4th to ya! Enjoy the fireworks with a delicious smoothie!

I'm off to Orlando, Fl enjoy your summer vacations to the fullest and remember to pack your Vitamix and healthy snacks, like organic raw granola, bars, trail mixes, fruit and vegetables like avocado, carrots, and cucumbers. I make green drinks and smoothies in the hotel room! It's a great way to keep it sexy, cool, cost effective and healthy all the time, no matter where you are.
Tips:

1. Eat lots of alkalinizing watermelon for the water and the nutrients!
2. Juice your vegetables this summer, go over board let's increase those nutrients and decrease the rates of cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol and digestive track disorders. 3. Increase your energy without the Coffee have fresh squeezed fruit juice instead.

Need help with these steps call me for a health break through consultation and learn the steps to becoming a more conscious consumer.
