Introduction: Nutritional Therapist and Kundalini Yoga Instructor
I am a nutritional therapist and a Kundalini Yoga instructor and I have assisted many individuals in their quest to begin and maintain a new and healthy lifestyle. I have done this by simply suggesting different food choices and by teaching my clients how to use their own bodies to heal themselves by incorporating yoga into their daily life.
Nutritional Therapist
As a nutritional therapist I do not recommend a "diet" or ask my clients to count calories. Although there are commitments my clients must make to embrace this lifestyle change, they can still enjoy many of their favorite foods. There are healthy and creative ways to enjoy food while feeling better and balancing weight at the same time. As you begin to see positive results, you will know that your efforts have been worthwhile.
I help my clients to identify the hidden dangers in food that are known to be very hazardous to good health. By removing foods with toxic ingredients from the diet, by shopping for organic, nutrient rich foods, and by educating my clients on how to maintain this lifestyle change, positive results come quickly. I teach unique and creative ways to save money, so that healthier choices can be made without "breaking the bank". My clients learn that living an organic lifestyle is less expensive in the long run as there will be fewer doctor visits and fewer prescriptions to fill.
I believe that we are interconnected with nature and by eating whole, nutrient rich foods that our bodies can identify, it will in turn create an autoimmune response and the body will heal itself. By incorporating these foods into my client's daily regimen and eliminating toxic "foods" that cause inflammation, they feel better physically, mentally and emotionally. Each organ in the body is a part of a complex synergistic system. By working with the body as a complete, interconnected system, rather than treating just the symptoms, my clients begin to see dramatic changes.

Kundalini Yoga Instructor
Nourishing the mind and soul is just as important as nourishing the body. I chose to become a certified Kundalini Yoga instructor as eating healthfully is only one component to living a holistic lifestyle. Kundalini Yoga has the ability to heal the body on levels far beyond what you can imagine. This practice will transform your life giving you enhanced levels of self confidence, will quiet the mind from the constant voice in your head, will heal health issues, will give you more energy, better sleep and create an overall better attitude towards life.
Yoga, meaning "union", has many diverse and life changing health benefits that have been studied, documented and proven over centuries. Yogis study how nature heals itself by using the body, mind and spirit. Over their many years of practice and dedication, that vision has given us the ability to enjoy, grow and heal our own bodies. With yoga you feel more alive, have greater mental clarity and you become more emotionally balanced.
Putting it all together.
Yoga, in my mind, puts it all together. I have a true love and desire to teach, rejuvenate and heal through the use of yoga and the by the consumption of nutrient dense organic foods. How powerful is it that we have the ability to heal ourselves?
Because each of my clients approaches me with different requirements, I adapt my programs to fit the needs of the individual. My clients and I then work together to accomplish his/her goals.
By offering my knowledge regarding the importance of consuming nutrient rich, organic foods, showing others how to transform their bodies through movement and postures and by teaching how using mindfulness and meditation can change our outlook on life, I continue to be inspired to share the gifts I have been given.
