My health journey for over thirty years has been both exciting and fun. I have always been interested in organic foods, organic gardening and staying physically fit. I managed a health food business for over fifteen years learning all about the healthy foods, supplements, herbal and homeopathic remedies. I created a loyal customer base because of my personal knowledge and experience on alternative remedies and natural health programs. But I was recommending these products not really knowing the medical background of my customers or if they were on any prescription drugs that may have contraindications with a natural remedy.
Professionally, I decided to pursue wholistic health counseling. I truly believe that diet is the foundation of optimal health along with exercise and managing stress. I wanted to learn prevention of dis-ease and the cause for health imbalances rather than treating the effects.
I became a Certified Natural Health Practitioner, Certified Nutritional Counselor, and a Board Certified Traditional Naturopath through Trinity College of Natural Health. I am Board Certified through the American Naturopathic Medical Certification and Accreditation Board. I have a private practice at a Waldorf based school in Sperryville, VA.
Some additional pursuits of study (required ceu's) were Traditional Chinese Medicine, Biochemical Blood Chemistry Evaluation, Kinesiology, "What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Hormones", and Enzyme Therapy with Stephen Horne, Herbalist AHG, Dr. Kimberly Balas, Dr. K.P. Khalsa and Dr. Dennis Frerking (assist to Dr. H. Loomis).
I have personally tried every diet created by man or woman. I have always counseled my clients by telling them to eat as close to nature as possible rather than teaching a complex nutritional course. How can we expect our bodies to stay healthy throughout our lifetime when we are ingesting nutrient dead and chemicalized food?
Recently, I was experiencing some health challenges such as low energy, cravings, insatiable hunger, and joint pain. After just two days on the "Living on Live Foods" program, I became symptom free.
My two kitties and two dogs are now on a raw diet too. My two donkeys have always been raw and healthy!
I am available for private counseling, coaching and teaching Alissa Cohen's "Living on Live Foods" program.
