- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I use an integrative holistic approach in my nutrition counseling sessions by focusing on primary foods, secondary foods and mindful eating techniques. Primary food can be referred to as “food for the soul” and include: a career, spirituality, physical activity and relationships. Often when we aren’t nourishing our soul food(s) it affects our ability to have a healthy relationship with secondary or tangible food. If primary and secondary foods become imbalanced we tend to build an unhealthy relationship with food and nutrition becomes a downward spiral. My holistic nutrition counseling services will send you on the fast track to eating healthier, feeling better, creating more positive energy and being the amazing empowered woman that you are. Mother to mother, let my knowledge and personal health transformation guide you in creating your very own healthy lifestyle where you feel balanced and rejuvenated!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a licensed Registered Dietitian and Certified Health Coach. Every 5 years I have to do 75 units of CEUs to keep my credentials. I am always learning since the nutrition field is constantly changing.
