"My friends and coworkers used to be scared of me at certain times of the day when I got too hungry. With Ellen's help I have learned to manage my low blood sugar crashes and can now avoid the mood swings and unhealthy binge snacking that result from them.
I have always enjoyed cooking, but Ellen has really opened my eyesto new foods that I would not have thought to try otherwise. As aresult I have learned some great new recipes and eat better at home than ever before. Rather than limiting my diet, working with her has actually increased the variety of foods that I enjoy.
I used to think that knowing what was good or bad for me was good enough, but with Ellen's guidance I have been able to learn so much more about the science of nutrition and to actually put that to use in my everyday diet. The results have been very encouraging; my jeans are loose!"

FOOD IS BASIC, BUT IT CHANGES EVERYTHING!
Almost no one these days lives at 100% of their potential on a daily basis. Whether this is due to poor diet, lack of exercise, chronic illness, overwhelming stress, some other factor (and unfortunately there are many in today's fast-paced world), or a combination of factors, help is available. Simply slowing down enough to recognize you are not where you want to be in life is the first step. Seeking out support is the next step.
As a Nutrition and Health Counselor I have the background and training to help you fundamentally address the unhealthy patterns in your life. I am here to support you in a step-by-step process towards health and wellness. The process of discovering what foods and lifestyle patterns will help you make the shift into optimal health is actually quite exciting and fun, provided you have the right guidance.
Contact me today for an hour-long consultation to see for yourself. At this initial consultation we will take an in-depth look at your current health concerns and discuss a few ways to start improving your health right away. I offer this initial consultation at a reduced rate of only $45 for the hour.

Private Health Food Store Tour
Do you find yourself overwhelmed when shopping?
Do you wish you could walk into a store and know right away which foods would best serve your health and bring about better well being on a daily basis?
This program is one of my most popular options. Join me for two hours as I take you on a highly informative and enlightening tour of the nearest health food store to you. I'll point out what to buy, what not to buy, how to read labels for optimal health, and give you many useful tips that you can apply wherever you shop.
In addition to the two-hour tour, you will receive 3 pocket shopping guides that will be yours to take with you each time you shop. These will include:
1. How to stay away from the dirtiest dozen fruits and vegetable and choose economically when purchasing organic produce.
2. How to choose healthy seafood.
3. How to identify which foods in the store are genetically engineered, and why you want to stay away from these foods.
Lastly, tell me your #1 pressing health concern (prior to the tour) and I will create a list of the top 10 foods you will want to include in each shopping trip to heal that health concern. Examples could include: weight, fatigue, cravings, indigestion, and much, much more!
Discounts are available if you bring a spouse, partner, family-member of friend with you to the tour. Contact me today to discuss setting up your tour!
Private Pantry Cleanout
Do you wish you could have a healthy pantry, once and for all?
Sometimes the easiest way to make healthy changes and stick with them is very simple. Just have the right foods in your refrigerator and pantry! I will come to your house, go through your refrigerator and pantry, identify which foods you'll want to eliminate and tell you why, and replace a couple of your favorite foods with healthier versions. I'll also leave you with an information packet I've created that you can refer to once I'm gone in case you have questions about a food you are not sure if you should bring into your pantry.
As your daily diet changes, your body changes, and you will start to experience positive shifts in your health. I look forward to guidingyou in this exciting process!
Contact me today to schedule your first consultation and discuss which program option is best for you.
