Certified Nutritional Consultant/Educator
What can a Nutrition Educator do for you?
No matter what your nutrition goals may be, approaching them without a plan can be self-defeating.
Before you can maximize your health and well-being, it is important to discuss and formulate a plan that is realistic for your lifestyle and maximizes your chance of reaching your weight-loss and overall nutritional goals.
What is the role of the Nutrition Educator?
As a Nutrition Educator I am trained in all aspects of nutrition and qualified to advise people on improving their health through diet and lifestyle modifications. I will evaluate your nutritional needs through a thorough nutritional assessment based on current lifestyle and eating habits.
I recognize that each person has different nutritional needs and I'm able to customize a unique plan for each client, based on sound nutritional practices, great taste and common sense.
Why I became a Nutrition Educator
As my list of personal chef clients grew, I found myself answering more and more questions regarding how ‘diet’ affects overall energy levels and well-being. As I started researching the topics posed by my clients, I realized that I loved the knowledge I was gaining, and so I chose a formalized program of study, and obtained my certification through the Global College of Natural Medicine (GCNM).
I'm now working with local Western New York businesses as well, to help them develop educational programs and healthy-choice menus for their on-site dining venues. I am also a contributing editor for several health-oriented magazines in the area, and I have been giving healthy shopping & cooking presentations at Buffalo Cardiology and Pulmonary for the cardiac rehab patients.
