I'm a National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching certified coach. The National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching certification represents the gold standard for the health and wellness coaching profession. This credential was founded on best-practices that provide a clear and consistent definition of Health & Wellness Coaching. By creating uniform practice standards, the credential enables more stringent methodology to evaluate this promising approach within evidence-based medicine.
I received my foundational health and wellness coaching certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and studied culinary nutrition at the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City. In addition to my private practice, I offer health and wellness coaching at Vida Health, a tele-health company, ranked as one of their top providers. Vida brings health coaching and therapy to employees of major corporations, businesses, and health insurance members nationwide. I've offered plant-based tips and recommendations to online publications including Chowhound, Shondaland, HelloGiiggles, VegNews, Muscle & Fitness, Women's Health, Stylecaster, and MindBodyGreen. I've provided wellness consulting to beauty and lifestyle companies, including Estee Lauder. I have been a balance and healthy vegetarian for 30 years, and have continued as a vegan over the past six years and counting. I marvel each day at the opportunities the earth provides us to optimize our health, healing, and wellness through whole, plant-based choices. Now more than ever, looking to plants for our food sources and nourishment, for our wellness and the health of our planet is vital. New York City is a mecca for enjoying a plant-based lifestyle. I love seeking out new vegan hot spots and visiting my trusted favorites, and when traveling, experiencing plant-based culture and communities across the country and around the globe. |
What inspired me to become a health and wellness coach? Years ago I found myself swept away by corporate culture, and my dietary life was often unbalanced and hard to control. As a result of eating under extreme stress, eating out most of the week, on-the-go or at my desk, my digestion was compromised and my energy was depleted. I developed a fascination about the way people were eating and the many problematic habits, ailments and challenges, both physical and emotional, that arose due to food and lifestyle. Everyone was eating for speed and convenience first, rather than wellness. I was certain we could bring wellness, mindful eating and balance into our busy lives, and I was inspired to pursue a practice in plant-based health coaching.
The name Green Beat Life reflects a heart beating with vibrant health and wellness from a whole, plant-based diet, and a compassionate heart that beats with the consciousness that our food choices and how we eat influences the well-being of our earth and environment. We can express our care for the planet by our food choices and dietary lifestyle. Green Beat Life, LLC, health coaching supports people with a genuine interest in wellness through diet and lifestyle, to develop the knowledge and skills they need to begin and sustain a plant-based diet that brings them vibrant health and happiness.
