ABOUT ME
Subtítulo para este bloque
My interest in fitness, nutrition and overall health and wellness started in my teens when I realized I came from a health challenged set of DNA. My family health history includes various forms of cancer as well as heart disease, arthritis and other autoimmune disorders. I started on a journey then, seeking long term health and well being, and have made it a goal to practice and teach the importance holistic wellness.
At Zen Fitness and Nutrition I offer big picture Wellness Coaching packages, Nutrition coaching and Nutrition Classes, various outdoor and indoor Fitness Classes, one-on-one Personal Fitness Training , Yoga one on one and group classes, Guided Sugar Cleanses, Cooking Classes and “Edu-catering”, as well as varying Wellness Lifestyle Retreats in beautiful locations around the world.
Currently I co-faciliate several of my own wellness retreats as well as having collaborated with several groups including Exotic Yoga Retreats, A Fresh Chapter and Dr. Nasha Winters.
Within the last 6 years I have completed several training courses for oncology nutrition coaching using personalized lab work and DNA. I worked several years between 2007 and 2013 as a Wellness Coordinator and Chef for a non-profit for young adults with cancer called First Descents cooking healthy meals for 20 to 30 survivors and volunteers at a weeklong adventure program.
I have a BS in Exercise Science, as well as a nt-Masters in Public Health Nutrition, Over the years I have held several health and wellness certifications including ACE Fitness as a Personal Trainer and a Clinical Exercise Specialist for over 20 years, Personal Training and Fitness with NEITA, as well as a Nutrition Specialist certification through AASDN. And most currently a 200 hour certified yoga instructor.
I started wellness business based on a compilation of now over 25 years experience in the wellness industry, and my current passions of fitness, being in nature, finding authentic happiness and peace, a balanced nutritious whole food diet and using “food as medicine” to both prevent and heal symptoms and disease.
