Zest for Life NYC

I am a registered nurse and I’ve worked in hospitals for 10 years. I absolutely love helping people become healthy! However, over time, I became discouraged about what  I could offer people with western medicine. I quickly realized medicine alone could not help them have and create the vitality they desired.

Another passion in my life is dance.

I was able to pursue that dream ((Modern dance, jazz and ballet)) while still having my nursing career. But it was exhausting!  I was mentally and physically drained.  I knew I had to find a way to be able to dance and still have my career. I was worn out, getting sick often and spraining my ankle every 3 months (not good for going on Pointe). I started doing some research and learned about nutrition and vitamin therapy.  Wow! I couldn’t believe that changing just a few things could put me back in the game again. It did and I was feeling great!

For the next 20 years, I enjoyed combining my nursing principles and learning more about eastern philosophies.  I studied yoga, Chi Kung, got a black belt in NIA (highest level), became a certified fitness instructor, Wellness Educator, got into graduate school in PT.

As you can see I was completely hooked.  I was healthier and more alive then I had ever been.

I now want to help people get to this place!  I know what you are going through and where you have been.

I have put all of this into some programs to help people who are stressed, especially moms, and professional women to give them the tools to be the peak performers they want to be and not lose their sense of self. The things that bring us joy.

This blog is about tips and things I have learned and continue to learn along the way.

Enjoy!
