I am a native New Yorker, and have been living in North Carolina for 15 years.  My quest for wellness began when I was in a life threatening auto accident at 16 years old.  Since then I have not only struggled with health issues, but also marriage, divorce, remarriage, and children.  The journey has been a gift to my soul as I learned how to redefine what I stand for, and what is important to me.  I learned that it is actually okay to "fit out" rather than "fit in".

My son and daughter have taught me, by the Grace of God, more than I could have ever taught them about love, life, patience, and my own abilities.  I am deeply committed to my role and influence as a mother, and I am thankful to be able to do the work that I enjoy.  For me, health counseling is an opportunity to help you create the most vibrant expression of YOU!  Small changes at a time will lead to lasting results that you can be proud of.  

I received my training in Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC, 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.  I have been trained by the best of the best including Dr. Mehmet Oz, Andrew Weil, Marion Nestle, David Wolf, Walter Willet, John Douillard and Joshua Rosenthal, just to name a few.

I am also a Certified Childbirth Educator, which further qualifies me to counsel pregnant women and help them create healthy habits within their families after baby arrives.  I remind them that this is their journey, not their mother's or co worker's, and that it will unfold into their own beautiful story which will empower them and those they love.       

Testimonials
At 52 years old, I never realized how important reading ingredients would become to me.  I thought I knew it all, and at 316 lbs and a 52 in waist, it became obvious how little I really knew.
I was fortunate enough to meet Jeanine where I work, and her caring nature and effervescent personality helped me to lose 35 lbs in 3 months.  I feel better now than I have in 20 years, and to all of you in a high risk category as I am, this program is a no brainer!    - Patrick- Cary, NC 

Since working with Jeanine, I have been able to take complete control of my health and ensure that my family is getting the very best foods that they can.  Healthy eating has helped me to stay focused in all areas of my life.  Making the decision to join this program has changed me forever!    - Traci-  Raleigh, NC  

My health consultations have been great.  I always look forward to the next one because Jeanine really focuses on my needs and explains everything in a fun way.  I am learning so much about getting the best foods and taking better care of my body.  Thanks Jeanine!  - Xochil- Garner, NC
