I am a health counselor and yoga instructor who provides  health assistance for those seeking a healthier, holistic, lifestyle, and experience. I am a devoted wife and mother of five, and am dedicated to bringing the beauty of Yoga, health, and nutrition to women in the VA/DC Metropolitan Area.

I received my training 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. My certification is pending and will be completed in June.

I am a certified Yoga Instructor and have been practicing Yoga for over six years. I received my Yoga teacher training from Atmananda Yoga & Holistic Center in New York City.

Testimonials

"I have suffered with fibromyalgia for many years. The pain over the long years had robbed me of vitality, opportunities and possibilities. Under the gentle and loving guidance of Ms. Parks, my body has become an ally to be worked with, rather than an enemy to be fought. The physical benefits have been flexibility, strength and endurance. More important to me, I am once again the vibrant person of my memory. If I can do plough... the possibilities are endless.
