- About Me:
- I have always considered myself healthy. I thought I knew a lot about how to take care of myself, but I decided to learn more about nutrition and health after a series of health crises of my own. After a physical, my doctor prescribed folic acid because she found that I was at risk for heart disease. "But don't worry," she said. It's no big deal." Then I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux, then IBS. I was worried. I had come to New York with an MFA, ready to take the theatrical world by storm. Now, six years later, I was calling myself an actor and a playwright, but working a "day job," waiting for that magic moment when my real life would begin. And now suddenly I was falling apart! One day I woke up and realized that this was my life, and it was just flying by unattended. I had to do something. After a lot of searching, I decided to go back to school.
Now I am a Board Certified Holistic Health Counselor and Reiki Master, and a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (accredited by Teachers College/Columbia) and studied with Reiki Master Motoko Kawasaki. In addition to my private practice, I teach lectures, workshops, and group programs and act as the Senior Editor of Delightfully Healthy News, an online holistic health newsletter. I am a contributing blogger at The Mindful Eater (www.themindfuleater.com) and have also written for “Ask the Holistic Health Expert” about living successfully with IBS and Acid Reflux on PlanetThrive.com, an online holistic community.
What I love about my work, and my life, is that I get to bring my whole self to it. The study of people, their inner workings, motivations, dreams and desires has been my life’s work as an actor and playwright. Now I bring that passion to my practice. I specialize in helping busy people reduce their stress, overcome chronic illness, and feel healthier and more energetic. I feel honored to be able to use my talents to help inspire my clients to live their best lives.

- What are your goals?
- Continue to improve myself by living in a healthy and sustainable way, staying present in my life, challenging myself and continuing to learn and grow. And by walking my talk in this way, I hope to inspire others to do the same.
- What is your current exercise routine?
- Yoga, as soon as my broken foot heals. And walking.
- What diets have you tried?
- I believe now in eating a whole foods, organic diet, and really listening to my body so that I can give it what it needs. In the past I have used The South Beach Diet and, many moons ago, weight watchers.
- What is your favorite book?
- I can't possibly pick just one.

Affirmations? Affirmative!
My friend Sally told me an amazing story yesterday. As she was getting off an elevator on the 45th floor, her iPod slipped down the crack between the elevator and the floor and disappeared. After the shock wore off, she called the building's maint… Continue

Food is my Friend
I found myself saying that recently. And then I came to and realized that I had allowed myself to be hypnotized by my old beliefs. I grew up with slogans like "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips," and "You can never be too rich or too thin." My mother was perpetually on a diet, and, meaning to show her love, persuaded me that parts of my body were less than perfect, too. (And mainstream culture - I just accidently typed "meanstream." Hmmm - only reinforced what she s… Continue

Failure is an Opportunity
Failure is an opportunity.
What if I lived my life knowing that? What would that be like?
