I received my training as a Health Coach from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (based in New York City). During my 12 month program at IIN, I studied over 100 dietary theories, practical lifestyle management techniques, and innovative coaching methods with some of the world’s top health and wellness experts.

 

My teachers included:

• Dr. Andrew Weil, Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine

• Dr. Deepak Chopra, Leader in the field of mind-body medicine 

• Dr. David Katz, Director of Yale University’s Prevention Research Center

• Dr. Walter Willett, Chair of Nutrition at Harvard University

• Dr. Mark Hyman, Founder and Medical Director of the UltraWellness Center

• Dr. Mehmet Oz, Cardiothoracic surgeon, Columbia University professor

• Dr. Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University

• Joshua Rosenthal, Founder and Director of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition

 

While living in Pittsburgh, I graduated from Duquesne University with a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education and Chatham University with a Master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies. My education has equipped me with extensive knowledge

in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and preventive health through lifestyle and dietary choices. Combining my nutritional education with 15 years experience as a physician assistant in clinic settings gives me a unique perspective on my approach

with clients.

Disclaimer: Even though I am a licensed physician assistant, as a Health Coach I will not diagnose conditions, order tests/bloodwork, nor prescribe medication for any of my clients.
