What were you doing before Integrative Nutrition?

Working as a personal trainer and a martial arts instructor.

Why did you choose to learn at Integrative Nutrition?

I was intrigued by all of the experts that were coming to speak, many of whose books I had already read.

How has your life changed since enrolling in the Integrative Nutrition program?

After IIN, I had the confidence and ability to counsel clients in nutrition and add it to my practice. I love feeling like a detective, uncovering client's true imbalances and what causes them.

What do you love about Integrative Nutrition?

The community, the message, and the movement.

How are you making a difference in your community?

I am empowering women through boot camps and self-defense workshops. I volunteer at homeless shelters for women and teach them self-defense.

What you love about what you do?

I love the success stories! I get emails, calls and Yelp testimonials from clients about how much stronger, leaner, healthier and happier they are. The message I want to get out is empowerment: everyone can make small changes in his or her life now. Don't try, just do it.
