This is what you’re looking for. The Zen Vitality Detox

This is a fast course - designed to put practical steps in place quickly so you can USE them - 

but it's also long enough to learn, to implement, and to grow a community around you, both in the group and in your life.  

You will learn how to make these practices routine so that they provide a foundation for health and well-being, for the rest of your life. 

I will share what I’ve learned from 22 years of successful one on one practice, as well as what I’ve learned in my own journey -including recovery from chronic Lyme disease and breast cancer. I’ll help you avoid some of the time- and money-sucks I encountered, too.

It’s not just taking stuff out of your life to get healthy. It’s about so many good things you can add in.

Not just about what you eliminate, but gaining tools, support, and community that enhance your vitality and resilience in daily life.

It’s about strengthening your body, mind, and spirit.

The Proof is in the Results!

The Zen Vitality Detox is designed to help you release toxins from every level of your life: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, from environmental toxins to your own sabotaging habits and negative self-talk (we all do it. but you can learn to keep it from running you)
Does any of this sound like you?

• You want to make changes, but know you need guidance, support and the RIGHT information to reach your goals

Still not sure??? Got some questions?

Q: Who is this person saying she has the answers?
A: I’ve been a holistic health practitioner for over 22 years, serving clients both in person and long distance via phone and Skype. i have trained with some of the foremost thinkers in holistic medicine today, including endocrinologist and author Diana Schwarzbein, M.D. (with advanced training in GI Issues), neuropsychiatrist Daniel Amen, and Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., PhD on Lyme, Autism, and Chronic Disease, as well as my pal, best selling author JJ Virgin, PhD, and Dr Sara Gotfried, MD, author of The Hormone Cure.  I am also a graduate of the professional training program of Carolyn Myss, PhD and Norm Shealey, MD, PhD; and both trained and taught at Jason Shulman’s 4 year program for healing professionals.  I am a certified Reiki Master.

Apart from a thriving holistic health practice for over 2 decades, I am a speaker, workshop leader and meditation teacher. I write a column for The Times Herald Record called Holistic Outlook, wrote a weekly column for Hudson Valley Insider for several years, and have been featured frequently in Natural Awakenings and Dirt magazines. I also offer an e-newsletter, am an active blogger and can be found on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.
I work with babies, children, adolescents and adults both locally and long-distance.  My areas of focus with clients include Healthy Weight Loss, Hormones, GastroIntestinal Issues, Allergies and Food Sensitivities, Lyme Disease, Healing the Metabolism for Anti-Aging, and ADD/ADHD and Autism, Sleep Issues, Brain Health and more.
I am a breast cancer survivor, and have also healed from chronic Lyme disease. My passion is to help you become your optimal self: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, so that you can truly live the life that you are here for.
I have provided non-invasive holistic solutions with love, compassion, support, and over 2 decades of training, experience, and success for thousands of clients, since 1993.

Q: Why is it called Zen Vitality?
A: Because you will be calmer AND have more energy!
I am packing it with everything I have learned from 22 years of one on one coaching about what makes people successful, healthy and happy.
We’ll be doing a little of each every class: learning to decrease not only the physical but the emotional, mental and spiritual toxins that weigh you down and hold you back from being your most exuberant, vibrant, juicy, alive self!
Zen for Calm. Vitality for all that healthy energy.  It’s a winning combination.

Q:  Will I have to starve myself?

A:  Not only will you not have to starve yourself on this program, you will never have to starve yourself again. And you will understand why deprivation and hunger work AGAINST you if you want to maintain your health, your hormones and your metabolism.

Q: How much weight will I lose?


A: This is not specifically a weight loss class, but the vast majority of my clients lose 5-10 pounds on my Customized 21 Day Detox, and this is a similar program in group form. It depends on where you’re starting from, and how closely you follow my suggestions. You also may lose more fat than you do weight, as often happens on my program, which means you will be leaner, smaller, trimmer and healthier. You may not see it all on the scale, but you will experience it in how your clothes fit, and your energy, and sense of well-being.
You will be cleansing, supporting and healing your metabolism, and that will serve you far beyond the 4 weeks of the class.
Also, detoxification is essential before weight loss, so if you do want to lose weight, this is a great place to start.
Of course, the Zen Vitality Detox is also beneficial even if you’re not looking for weight loss at all.

Q: How do I know if I need to Detox?


A: If you eat, drink, drive, shower, clean, breathe, live in the 21st century – yes you do need to detox. We are all exposed to toxins. A key difference between healthy people and unhealthy people is their ability to detoxify. I explain more in the first video, which you can access for free.

Q: Are you going to tell me to give up everything I love to eat?


A: I am going to share with you information you can use to succeed in getting rid of symptoms, and reclaiming your health and vitality for both the short term and the long term. You might be very surprised to learn the truth about what you can have and what you should eliminate. You won’t feel deprived, and you definitely won’t feel hungry. Plus, I don’t believe in taking something out without having something better to put in, so there are lots of suggestions for substitutes and “horizontal shifts”.

Q: I’m really busy. I don’t have much time. Will I still be able to do this?


A: Absolutely! We all live busy lives, me included, and I am expert at sharing ways to keep it all simple and do-able.

Q: I already know what to eat. What will be different this time?


A: First of all, it’s not your fault, but much of what people think they know is just plain wrong. My office is filled with people who tell me “I eat healthy. I’ve tried everything. Nothing works.”  I help them, and I can help you, too.
The mainstream media and most doctors are just way behind the curve when it comes to cutting edge clinical nutrition. That’s my specialty, and I will share the information that will finally make a difference in your health, your weight, your hormones and your life.

I will also be offering the option of a one on one individual session with me, if you want to truly customize this program for the best possible results. A few tweaks will help you get even more out of it.

Q: Will I have to run to the bathroom all the time? I can’t do that!
A: Absolutely not! Nothing I do is drastic. You can continue to live your life, probably better, and with more energy!

Q: What other fees are there for the course?
A: None. I will suggest a few things you can add in, if you choose, but they are not essential, and there is absolutely nothing else you must pay to get the full value of the course.

THIS CLASS MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU IF...

• You’re perfectly content with your level of focus, health and energy.
• You’d rather not question what you’re doing, what your doctor says, or what the mainstream conventions are about health.
• You’d rather “take a pill” rather than identify and address the root cause.
• You aren’t willing to make some changes - in your thinking and in your behavior - to get different results than you have now.
