I am a native New Yorker, and have been living in North Carolina for 17 years.  My quest for wellness began when I was in a life threatening auto accident at 16 years old.  That experience combined with a career in the Pharma industry gave me insight into what I thought "health" truly meant.  In addition to health issues still today from that accident, my relationships, career path, and having children have shaped who I am today.  Throughout life, my heart has been filled with complete joy, and has also been broken....like most people.  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"..... and it's more fun too!  I crave health and have worked hard to create a life that supports just that.  You can too!  

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.  They are talented, whitty, and inspire me to best the best I can be, and to leave them a legacy of health in a day and age that doesn't really promote the union of mind, body and spirit.  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
I want you to know that meeting with you CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I took the information you gave me and did tons of research last week. I have completely changed my eating habits. I discovered that it is near impossible to get soy completely out of your diet but I think I have taken it out at least 85% of it. I have moved to totally organic food, dairy that is hormone and antibiotic free, and limit my meat intake to twice a week. I have started doing some kind of excercise each day and have already lost 5 pounds! THANK YOU! My goal is to stay cancer free and will do whatever I can to keep it that way. I wanted to add how difficult it is to find information on the internet in regards to healthful eating. I looked for two days before I found a site that listed food products that were low in natural estrogen and high in natural estrogen. I wish you all the best in your journey to help people live healthier lives. It astounds me that there is this tiny little section in the grocery store that is dedicated to organic living and the rest of the 100,000 square feet it dedicated to chemicals and junk, ugh! THANK YOU for opening my eyes and educating me. I am a little annoyed after all I have been through with my breast cancer that NO ONE (including doctors) suggested that I visit a nutritionist and alter my eating habits. It is disgraceful! Bless you and THANK YOU!!    Beth- Raleigh, NC

I am 43, and have 3 children.  When my friend suggested I call Jeanine, I dragged my feet a bit on it.  I live in NY and she is in NC, and I felt like I had tried so many programs before and didn't want to waste any more time or money.  Now, all I can say it that every penny and all my efforts were worth it because even 4 months after my phone sessions ended with Jeanine, I am still feeling so much better and have managed to keep the weight off.  Now, I get it!!!  I thought I was eating healthy, but now that I understand how to read packages and see past the marketing tricks of sneaky words and pretty packages, my body is finally getting what it needs to feel great.  The sessions held me accountable, and I wanted it so badly that I was fully committed to changing my lifestyle choices.  In turn, my family has made some life long healthy changes too.  Thank you!

I’m 33 years old and over the past few years noticed that my body and hormones
were beginning to change. I had weight gain, migraine headaches and other
noticeable hormone changes like acne. Once I started Jeanine’s program, I noticed
positive changes immediately! With a few basic changes in my diet I noticed a
dramatic decrease in my migraine headaches. Coupled with exercise and Jeanine’s
nutritional expertise, I lost 5 pounds halfway through the program and my skin
cleared up in a few weeks and has remained clear. I wanted to achieve the proper
nutrition and also be part of a program that not only promotes physical, but
mental and spiritual, health. My over all “glow” has become much stronger and
co-workers, friends and family members are asking me all the time what am I
doing to look so healthy.  Jeanine has the experience and knowledge to change
your life! It is a wonderful experience and when my husband and I plan to have
children I will  join her program again to focus on nutrition while pregnant. Call her! You'll be
glad you did.

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
