I have had a passion for understanding the body and health since I was 8 yrs old. My parents tried to push me to go to medical school, but the best fit for me was to help cure and prevent disease through holistic sources. It became well known to me that there is no one single approach to fit all ailments. I became a NYS certified and licensed Wellness Practitioner in 1998.

My Motivation:
Through various health struggles of my own as well as family and friends, I made it a life long goal to help as many people as I can and work to guide them back to a sustainable health and wellness foundation and help to reprogram their bad habits into healthy ones. It’s easy to get caught up in dietary weight loss trends and powerful food brand marketing, but it’s very challenging to find a good support system to lead you down the right path to vitality, good health and longevity. Humans are not all biologically the same. It takes a customized approach and plenty of trials using real food as medicine and a great deal of positive re-enforcement.
