About Me... |
My 15-year journey as a model took me around the world several times, but especially relevant to me today, it led me to a better understanding of my body's inner workings. It all began after leaving my home state of Kentucky for the Big Apple--I quickly discovered that my college diet of Taco Bell and Little Debbie snack cakes wasn't gonna cut it in the modeling world! Besides getting my body in tip-top shape with a healthier lifestyle and cleaner foods, the bonus was that my energy levels soared--gone were near black-outs that I later realized were mere sugar crashes. After years of trial and error with my own self-discovery, and voraciously reading every nutrition book I could get my hands on, I tied that knowledge together with an intensive nutrition program at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City, which focuses on both Eastern and Western philosophies. I was trained in more than 100 dietary theories and a variety of practical lifestyle coaching methods. My education continues by the day while I stay on top of nutrition news, attend seminars, and especially as I learn directly from clients with each unique situation. I am certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. |

Along with helping clients get on a healthy track through nutrition counseling, I am also a freelance magazine writer, based in New York City but spending weekends (and whenever possible!) upstate New York, in Ulster County. I'm a big-time nature lover with a deep regard for environmental issues. Since becoming a mom, I became even more passionate about keeping a healthy and green household for my family, and I hope to share important research that I've accrued along the way. I volunteer occasionally for various causes by donating consultations for benefit auctions or giving lectures for non-profit groups. Let me know if you're involved in an upcoming benefit. Some of my favorite food- and wellness-related quotes... Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. -Mark Twain Leave your drugs in the chemist's pot if you can heal the patient with food. -Hippocrates Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are. -Anthelme Brillat-Savarin One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. -Virginia Woolf A man's health can be judged by which he takes two at a time: pills or stairs. -Joan Welsh My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people. -Orson Welles I don't believe in vitamins, pills, or anything like that. I swear by men, darling--and as many as possible. -Joan Collins ;) Some of my favorite quotes on LIFE... Why, sometimes I've believed in as many as six impossible things before breakfast. -Lewis Carroll Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right. -Henry Ford To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. -Ralph Waldo Emerson No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. -Albert Einstein Those on top of the mountain did not fall there. -Anonymous Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. -Marie Curie The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out Who You Are, seek to determine Who You Want To Be. -Neale Donald Walsch Everybody dreams But not equally Those who dream by night In the dusty recesses of their minds Wake in the day to find that it was vanity But the dreamers of the day Are more dangerous For they may act out their dreams With open eyes To make it possible -T.E. Lawrence |
