I am a Certified Holistic Health Counselor with a private practice in Southeastern Connecticut. I received my formal training and certification to practice Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, 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 also have pastoral counseling training as a graduate from Yale Divinity School.

At age 55 I became sick and unable to function normally. My doctor attributed this to menopause and put me on several medications. While these had some benefit, they also had side effects. Through my own journey of healing, I learned there are alternatives. With the right balance of food, nutrition and exercise my health was restored. My energy level soared, digestive problems ceased, food cravings disappeared, and normal body weight returned.

My specialty is helping women ages 35 and older, and especially those approaching menopause and beyond. I do consultations both in person and by phone.

Testimonials

"This is the best money I've ever spent on myself because Pat's program released me from the guilt, anguish, and frustration I'd felt over dieting and what to eat. It's given me freedom from junk food addiction, and given me my health back!" D. Woycik

Before working with Pat I didn't cook and had difficulty controlling my eating. As a result of working with her, I began to cook and make easy, nutritious meals for me and my family, reduce caffeine, brought my eating habits back into control and I felt much better!" M. Lewis

"When I was addicted to sugar I couldn't imagine my life without it. With Pat's help. I've changed the way I eat; I no longer crave sugar, have more energy, no more mood swings and headaches and have lost 15 pounds. I, and my whole family, thank you!" E. Archer
