MY STORY

I coach and create supportive community-focused groups to help men and women lead happy and healthier lives.

Below you can see my certifications, awards, and lists of workshops/trainings I’ve “eaten” up. But, first, a little about me:

My health coaching career really began in my early 50’s as I began to ask myself :

“How can I live my life to the fullest, enjoy the pleasures of food, and maintain my health and weight?”

Let’s be clear — I love food! I earned a Master Chef degree from The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College and owned Catering from the Hart from 1986-93.

But, when I embarked on my own journey, taking off 60 pounds thirty years ago, I found a calling. A passion for creating healthy relationships with food and a search for proven ways to help people live better. I also enjoy coming up with catchy phrases: “more taste, less waist,” “Content but context of your life,” “skill-power vs willpower,” “You’re never too old. It’s NEVER too late” that are relevant to my programs and approach. And ever since 1994 I have been working with men, women and seniors over 50. It’s truly my higher purpose.

Now, how about you? What are you trying to achieve? Call or email me and let’s schedule your FREE consultation.
