are you ready to transform you health and your life!

Transform Your Health, Transform Your Life Group Program, starting in June! 

We just finished up our March Group Program and had a blast.  We learned a lot, shared a lot and bonded as a group. Starting  in June I have cooked up another exciting 3 month program to get you back on track, nutritionally, emotionally and spiritually.  This first level program will teach you the basics of food, nutrition, primary foods and mediation.  In our session we will learn:Woman Sitting in Meditation

  •  How to eat right and lose weight without dieting.
  •  How to deconstruct and reduce cravings.
  • How to get in touch with your inner self and get in touch with our inner knowing.

Shania Twain had a mantra that kept her going after she lost her voice and was working to get it back, “today is your day, nothing can stand in your way!  And YES, nothing can stand in your way.  That’s how I feel about this program I have created.  This transformational program is for you if:

  • If you’re ready for change!
  • If you feel like you’re ready to head into the biggest and most energized part of your life!
  • If you are ready to feel and look amazing inside and out!
  • If you’d like to actually choose to eat a veggie over cake and not feel deprived.
  • If you want to find that place of calm, balance and centeredness in your life
  • If you call a night on the couch with a bag of chips, a glass of wine or whatever your unwinding time.
  • If you want to sleep better, wake up energized and excited about the new day.

Some of the benefits of a group program!

  • It’s a great value, cost will be 1/2 of my normal fee for a 1 to 1 program.  Get the same quality coaching and guidance!
  • You have your own personal support system.  Everyone there wants you to succeed.  You will develop deeper connections and make your sessions more meaningful.  Also you will know you aren’t alone in this process.  It will help you build confidence to address challenges and motivation to succeed 
  • Higher likelihood of achieving your goals.  It’s been found that people procrastinate less, reach their goals faster and accomplish more in group settings.
  • You and the group will help create what we work on.  There is no cookie cutter way to gain health and achieve wellness.   I work on the philosophy of bio-indviduality, what works for one person may not work for another.  
  • Benefit from collective wisdom.  We will all brainstorm solutions, look for creative channels and uncover opportunities you may not have discovered working solo.
  • Gain a New Perspective . When you work alone, you examine situations from one perspective – yours. But when you work in a group, you’re exposed to a variety of insights that empower you to see a situation from multiple angles and motivate you to develop new solutions. Ever get a precious nugget of advice from a really honest friend that you just couldn’t see on your own? It’s like that.
  • Turn Work into Play! It’s more fun to go out to dinner with friends than by yourself, right? Working with a group is a social event that participants look forward to. You’ll join a close-knit group that is energizing, motivating and most of all – fun! Group members often become lifelong friends.
  • As a student of my class I will offer individual coaching with you at a reduced rate from my hourly fee!  That way if you need fine tuning or more in-depth support we can meet one-to-one to work out those things that may be blocking you from your goals.

Assorted fruitThe program will be 90 minutes 2 times per month.  I will be looking at 2 different class time to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules,one on a weeknight, the other during the day.  For  now I have created a form you can fill out and let me know if evenings or  a week day would be better for you, then with those numbers I can work on times and scheduling.

The cost will be $225 for the 3 month program.  If you pay in full, I will offer $25 off for a full payment or monthly at $65 per month.  I am so excited to be offering this transformational program and look forward to sharing, learning and growing with everyone through this process.  The great part is I usually learn as much as you do!  As I said this is level 1, level 2 will come out later this year and will delve deeper into the topics we cover in the level 1!

What my students are saying about Transform you Health, Transform Your Life, group programs:

  • ” I really enjoyed the experience and knowledge you shared”
  • “The presentation allowed for self-discovery and group dynamics”
  • “I learned about habits, eating more greens, drinking more water, looking at my cravings and how to keep looking at my whole self for guidance”

Here’s the form:  No commitment this will just help in scheduling and times!  It will also get you on my update emails for the program, and some bonus information prior to getting our group going!  I know you are ready  and nothing can stand in your way!

Q and A from Pilates Style Magazine about sitting at your desk all day!

Posted in Pilates Style Magazine’s newsletter recently!

Q. I sit at a desk all day at work. Any tips for ergonomic positioning?

A: You and I and much of the world’s population sit at our desks far too often—it seems to be a curse of modern society. However, it’s the reality we live in, and we must deal with it as best we can. So I applaud your question.

Ergonomic positioning undoubtedly plays a big role in protecting the body from the impacts of sitting. Some of the things to look for are a good and supportive chair, the correct height desk, the correct height computer monitor, and easy access to the mouse without having to strain the muscles in your arms and shoulders. Yet with all that said, two things are key—and they have little to do with the desk, computer or chair.

First, be aware of your posture at all times. The two areas that need to be highlighted are the shoulders, which may droop forward into a “round shoulder” position, and the hip flexors, which become short and tight, due to the hip being in flexion for hours. Check and recheck that you are not slouching, slumped over, or tensing your neck and shoulders—this happens to everyone. Pay particular attention to the head, which tends to drift forward causing tension in the neck. Simply bring the body back into good alignment.

Second, get up, walk around and stretch the shoulders and chest often. Although it’s difficult to remind ourselves to do so, we must find ways. It is continuous sitting that causes the muscles to tighten up.
