I received my training to practice Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which is the only nutrition school in the world 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 am a Certified Health Counselor. My focus is holistic and preventative. I have studied more than 100 dietary theories and analyzed their pros and cons to determine which is best for individual use. My classes addressed the fundamental concepts, issues and ethics of eating in a modern world.
Most of my life I've had fresh organic produce, natural herbs and remedies and I have applied a holistic and preventative approach to my own health and wellness. My childhood was spent in the country with plenty of fresh air, fresh whole foods, lots of hard work and love. The decision to offer my knowledge, experience, support and guidance to others was a natural one ... and Holistic Health and Wellness was born. We provide a range of natural products and services that will enhance your life, improve your overall health and provide the support and guidance you need to maximize your happiness and well-being. I received my certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in partnership with Columbia University Teachers College in June 2008 but practiced my skills long before then. I am a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and the National Association of Black Health Counselors

Testimonials
"H H and W has changed my life! Before meeting Tira, I didn't think much about what I put into my body. I ate and drank whatever I wanted believing that as long as I exercised and remained relatively slim that I would be ok, but I always wondered why I lacked energy for someone my age and body composition. When I told Tira about this, she recommended a few steps that would lead to a total transformation on the way I think about food, dieting, and nutrition. The body must eat right in order to function right. She helped me to realize that the wellness of my body and my health is everything. Little else matters when one can't get out of bed. Today, I feel and look even better and I look forward to continuing to work with her to develop the optimum diet and health plan to further my wellness and immunity."

Tira gave me the answers to so many of my qustions about health and food. I didn't feel like I was supposed to know it all and she even took me on a health food store tour so I could see exactly what I needed to look for and how to shop. She gave me recipes and free samples of stuff. Her program really works and after six months I've changed my old habits. I was skeptical at first but then it got easier to replace the bad foods with the right ones once I felt and saw the difference in my body.

Her food is so delicious, I can't believe everything is organic, natural and healthy!

I ordered a custom made bottle of the oils to help treat a very bad dry skin disorder that I have. The oils along with a program Tira told me to try eliminated the dry, flaky, itchy skin. I even use it for hot oil treatments for my hair and I notice a major difference in how my hair and skin feels and looks. -T. Lindeberg, Las Vegas-
