The Healthy Body Connection

​

As a Commerce graduate from Saint Peters University of Jersey City, NJ I originally spent a successful, 18-year career in Information Technology prior to nutrition. I ate HORRIBLY! I loved food, but all the wrong foods and it began to take a toll on my body. There were instances where I knew something was wrong with me, but I had no idea what was wrong. I went to doctors and was given a prescription and years later, I was still on the same medication and I think that's when my light bulb turned on. I knew I didn't want to take any medication everyday for the rest of my life. Still not sure what I needed to do but I knew I needed to do something.  That was when my  passion in nutrition started. During this time, still not knowing everything, I revamped my entire diet. I couldn’t help but let my true passion for nutrition and healthy eating diffuse throughout the corporate sector. At business meetings, while the standard delectables were bagels and danishes’ which did not suffice, I would bring my own guilt-free goodies/or infamous green drink. As colleagues and clients became intrigued, the demand for information on food and health became so overwhelming that I started leading seminars and founded The Healthy Body Connection. Finally, while attending a random health conference in New York City on super foods, I reflected on what I really wanted in life and decided to follow my passion wholeheartedly. I left my cushy IT career, and started to pursue my new life.

Since then, I have obtained my CHHC designation from Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and founded The Healthy Body Connection– my wellness consultancy in New Jersey. As Principal of The Healthy Body Connection wellness consulting, I am in the process of developing wellness programs, servicing large corporations, working with one on one clients, and will instill healthy habits amongst thousands of children and youth through the design and delivery of school wellness programs and acts as a culinary consultant to various food establishments.

I am dedicated to promoting long-term health and vitality. And my mission… to bring back REAL health and make it mainstream!
