About Me
I am a Holistic Health Counselor certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. I received my training to practice Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition(IIN). IIN is a unique school which integrates all of 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. This training dovetails nicely with years spent studying and practicing Integral Philosophy based on the work of Ken Wilber, breathing and meditation with the Art of Living Foundation and yoga with many studios, most recently Jivamukti in NYC.
Over the years I have experienced a gradual unfolding changing from a somewhat cynical, sarcastic and pessimistic demeanor to someone with a truly hopeful, spiritually engaged and creative outlook on life coupled with a deep desire to be with and help others on a similar path.
My own personal journey has included many years of exploration, study and experimentation. I have studied and lived many health and lifestyles options and continuously incorporate most of them into my daily life in a fluid, ever changing manner based on what feels right for me and where I am right now. These include raw food, juicing, vegetarianism, cleansing, fasting, meditation, strength training, breathing exercises, chanting, yoga, shamanic voyaging, Integral Life Practice, a love of reading; writing, playing and recording music and a myriad other eating and lifestyle avenues that I continue to learn from and would love to share with you. The food that we eat, the lifestyle choices we make and the practices that we engage work on a deep level to effect the way that we think, feel and interact with the world. If you would like to bring more consciousness into these or other aspects of your life than I would love to work with you.
