Empowering Your Path To Happiness and Longevity: My Story

From a young age, witnessing family members grapple with depression and the endless cycle of dieting illuminated for me the profound link between healthy living and happiness. This early observation sparked a realization: feeling positive about oneself catalyzes a positive mindset, essential for a longevity lifestyle. My innate empathy for those affected by emotional struggles drove me to transform challenges into positive outcomes. Recognizing my knack for flipping the script on negativity, I embraced my gift, aspiring to alleviate the emotional pain of others.

My venture into professional coaching began in 2009, following my certification in Holistic Nutrition from The American College of Healthcare Sciences. Opening my practice in Red Bank, New Jersey, was just the start. My quest for knowledge led to further certifications in Positive Psychology, becoming a Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation, achieving National Board Certification in Health Coaching, and specializing in Lifestyle Medicine. Inspired by my training, I authored two books, *The Positive Psychology Diet: 21 Days to a Happier and Healthier Life* and *Happiness is My Choice*, aiming to extend my reach beyond individual coaching to influence a broader audience.

My engagements, such as presenting at The Integrative Healthcare Symposium in New York (2020), the Meridian Woman Rock Event (2018), and The Lodge at Woodloch (2021, 2022, & 2024 ), allowed me to share my insights on fostering a happiness-driven, healthy lifestyle with diverse audiences. Yet, it is my certification as a Positive Psychology Practitioner that resonates most deeply with me. Reflecting on my negative life challenges, I realize I was instinctively applying positive psychology techniques to navigate and mitigate life’s adversities.

Positive psychology, the science behind what makes people flourish and thrive, informs my approach to coaching. It’s not just about overcoming obstacles; it’s about flourishing, thriving, and embarking on a journey toward a happier, healthier, and longer life. Through a combination of health and life coaching enriched with positive psychology strategies, I guide my clients toward adopting lifestyles that promote longevity.

Years of training and experience have equipped me to support and inspire my clients effectively as they stride toward their goals. Embracing a holistic view of health, I am committed to helping individuals live not just longer, but fuller and more joyful lives.
