As one of the first, of a generation born in America from a West Indian family, whole foods were a staple in my household. Sugar filled, over processed foods were treats that I rarely received, but when I did consume these foods I experienced great discomfort. After repeated visits to the doctors because of headaches and stomach pains, there was no solution or diagnosis the doctors could provide. My mother compensated for the lack of knowledge the doctors presented and provided herbal remedies for my pain. As a result, I developed an appreciation for health and well-being, so choosing the path of a Wellness Coach was a natural progression.
After teaching in the public school system for five years, it became more apparent that specializing in assisting the needs of others was my life’s work. I decided to seek out further education on the nutritional foundation my mother laid. After researching several schools I chose the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and received the necessary training to become a Wellness Coach.
In my years of being a Wellness Coach, one thing is crystal clear to me, everything is food and food changes everything.
Wellness is a term that is used to not only exhibit the absence of disease, but also the absence of the signs or risk factors thereof. To be in a state of absolute wellness, one has to experience harmony in all seven dimensions of wellness. This includes their physical, emotional, spiritual, occupational, environmental, social, and mental body. When all seven are in alignment you will have achieved “Absolute Wellness”
As a Wellness Coach, I specialize in “Food Therapy”, a term I coined because our relationship to the foods we eat affects all areas of our life. In the same light, all that encompasses our life effects our food decisions. By its nature, everything in your life works to provide some form of nourishment to your temple (body). As your coach I will be working with you to see how your relationships, emotions, career and environment reflect on your food choices.
Known as "The Food Therapist" for my uniquely structured multi-tiered program designed to increase your awareness of your relationship to the foods you consume, I will provide you with the tools to create the life you desire.
I have studied hundreds of dietary theories, taking many of them into practice myself. What I have gained from my experience is the key to my success and the success of my clients.
Together we will create a completely personalized “roadmap to health” that suits your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and goals.
If you are ready to live the life you desire, realistically obtain your goals and experience optimal health, then now is time to start your journey.
