I can relate with you…
In college, I became addicted to caffeine. Soon, I began suffering from
anxiety, chronic fatigue, and dragged myself to my morning classes. I felt
like I was repeating the same cycle over and over. I saw my health going downhill once I
was diagnosed with seasonal allergies.
Finally, I decided
that I would reach out to get support and also educate and experiment with new life practices and foods to find out what really works best for
me! I sought out
specific resources, including working with amazing mentors and participating in
programs that supported my whole being. My programs offered me the individualized
attention I needed to learn to honor my intuition and my leadership
in reaching my life goals. My life took a transformational turn. I
not only eliminated seasonal allergies and caffeine from my
system, but I experience a steady level of energy and sound sleep.
Additionally, I have cleared away issues that I never imagined, such as PMS
cramps and mood swings. I was so inspired by what I had accomplished that I
decided to dedicate my life to helping others discover what I learned.
I enrolled in an internationally recognized training program at The
Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become
certified in holistic health and lifestyle counseling. And now here you
are, reading about me and my work as the founder of Sustainable Wellness.
Amazing what can happen in life, once you put your mind and commit to it!
As a certified Health Counselor and lifestyle coach, I offer
individualized support to individuals, organizations, and corporations in
integrating appropriate food choices with lifestyle modifications to
achieve health and life goals for the long haul! My professional
training is from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in Manhattan. I
am also certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners
and by the Teachers College at Columbia University to teach individuals
about health, nutrition, and true wellness. My counseling experience is
fortified by a B.A. in Psychology and Women’s Studies from Georgia State
University.
I believe that an adequate combination of support, tools, and resources
integrated in a gentle step by step process, revives my inner expert for
optimum well-being. I engage this innate intelligence to facilitate
balance and vitality, participating in a journey of lasting wellness for my
mind, body, spirit, and soul while I evolve, transform, and blossom in
Existence.
My Guiding Principle:
I am dedicated and determined to nourish my
mind, body, soul, and spirit with awareness and informed knowledge.
Empowerment, education, and transformation take precedent in my daily life, and
it is such a precedence that assists me in serving my community and fellow
peers. I believe in sharing the best of myself and the tools I have available
to me -resources and support, love and warmth- with the world. I recognize that
such an endeavor is a process and a practice in which I
participate in as I walk along my journey in this lifetime. I am
ultimately the one accountable to my Light and to my connection with you
and the Universe.
Love, Light, & Liberation!
