I am a certified Holistic Health Counselor by the American Association of Drugless Practioners. I received my training to practice Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, in affiliation with Columbia's Teachers College, which is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods.
In addition I have successfully completed attunement and teachings to the Master Reiki Level of the Usui System of Natural Healing.

Testimonials
My daughter experienced difficulty with constipation from an early age. Our pediatrician referred her to a pediatric gastroenterologist and she was diagnosed with functional constipation, a very common condition in children. She was prescribed Miralax to take daily along with a high fiber juice and a high fiber diet was recommended. Although her condition improved, she was dependent on the Miralax, which she took daily for several years. The doctor stated the medicine had no long-term concerns and that eventually she would "grow out of it".
Independent of the doctor, my husband and I decided to consult with Judy. She met with us and made simple modifications to my daughter's diet that were easy to implement. My daughter had immediate results, which allowed her to ultimately be weaned off the Miralax. She has an improved understanding of her body's needs and how she can help her body maintain a better balance. As a result of using her diet to regulate the constipation, she has not been dependent on the medication for over 6 months.
My family is very appreciative of Judy for her personalized, caring approach, and most importantly for achieving the results we were hoping for. We would recommend Judy without hesitation to anyone looking for nutritional guidance.

How can I begin to thank Judy for the way I now feel about myself? I feel as though I finally have balance in my life and I feel healthier than I have in a very long time! Thank you for giving me the tools to change my lifestyle. It's priceless.

When I first met Judy I was feeling tired, I had an inflamed cyst on my right cheek, I was suffering from chronic viral sinus infections and was overweight. I was taking many over the counter drugs and prescription steroids for the continuous viral infections. I was a complete mess and I knew deep down that I needed to make some radical changes for myself and for my family.
I had started my journey of changes earlier by changing my job and making a schedule that was more manageable. Although I made this radical change, I was still stuck. I needed someone or womething to move me to the next steip of a healthier life.
Judy was the next step! She has given me the tools, knowledge and inspiration to move me to that next stage of positive changes in my life. I have become a more mindful eater for myself and my family. After my six month program with Judy I have encountered the following positive changes in my life.
I sleep better and I have more energy.
I eat more vegetables, less meat and drink a lot more water.
I have eliminated the processed foods in my life and my family's life.
I have a clearer thought process.
My sinus infections are less frequent and have almost dissappeared.
The cyst on my right cheek dissappeared!
I lost 8 lbs and I am wearing jeans again.
I have learned that some things I can change and some things I can not.
I have learned to accept the things that I can not change and have stopped punishing myself for not changing them.
I have had a tremendous amount of positive changes over the last couple of months and I continue to make small changes everyday. I continue to be mindful of what my body is telling me it needs.
