My inspiration for becoming a Certified Health Counselor came directly from my experience of transforming my own health – and that of my three sons – by transitioning from the SAD (Standard American Diet) to one that is local, organic and free of anything artificial. I also researched and sought out expert practitioners of both traditional and alternative medicine to utilize a truly integrated approach to our health.
Over a 13 year period we have detoxed our bodies and our home learning and researching all along the way. It is my deepest desire to help you integrate healthy changes into your life at an easy pace that is right for you so that you can live at your peak potential with optimal health.
I have worked with people on issues ranging from Kawasaki Disease, Vaccine Damage, Food Allergies, Gluten Intolerance, Learning Differences, Auto-immune Disorder, Adrenal Fatigue, Candida, Inflammation, Parasites, Weight Gain, Mold and Diabetes. Oh, and let’s not forget the big one – Stress! I am currently taking up the issue of amalgam removal and heavy metal toxicity. I have seen people make stunning health improvements by learning to live a more natural lifestyle. I utilize a holistic approach and show people how to utilize EFT to make fabulous gains in all areas of their life.
I named my business It’s All Connected Natural Health & Living because it simply is all connected. It is Simply Brilliant that what is best for our bodies is also best for our health, our community, the economy, the environment, and, therefore, the planet.
I received my training to practice Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with latest research and concepts such as micronutrients and raw foods.
I have had the pleasure of being taught by some of the foremost nutrition experts in the world – people like Deepak Chopra, Walter Willett, Andrew Weil, Sally Fallon, Marion Nestle and David Wolfe. I received my certification as a Holistic Health Counselor from the American Association Of Drugless Practitioners (AADP).
Prior to raising my children, I was a Social Worker in both a hospital and a community mental health agency. For the past 6 years I have been on the Board of Trustees at the Lake Champlain Waldorf School. I have an extensive background in organizing and event planning.
