About Me

Who I am…..
The best way to answer this question is to share  a vulnerable story about my journey.

When I was in my late 20’s, I was working for a retail fundraising company that hosted Trunk Shows in large hospitals all over the Southeastern U.S., from Atlanta, GA to Baltimore, MD.
I worked 14 hour days on the road.
I woke up at 4 in the freaking morning to get to a location and set up racks of leather coats and tables full of leather handbags and accessories. Selling from 7am - 4pm.
Then packing up the show and hitting the road again.  
14 hours each day, day in and day out.

Two seasons of this and my spirit started to crack.

I had no real friends, no family support, and I was beginning to use alcohol, occasionally drugs and especially food as coping mechanisms to push on through and then push even more..

I was on antidepressants to help me  cope with my responsibilities and keep me from crying all the time.

Early one morning, I was on my way to another Trunk Show and everything in my body said,  “NO! STOP! I won’t do it!”

That morning I quit my job. Regardless that I was making 6-figures & lived a very comfortable lifestyle. I was freaking miserable and my body was done!

After quitting that high paying job, life became harder for me because I couldn’t find another position that supported me with the income level I was accustomed to.

So I went back to what I knew. Went back to what was comfortable and familiar.

I returned to California and moved in with my ex-boyfriend where we started to have a life together, again.

The first month I sat on the couch, didn’t leave the apartment, and I ate.
 
I had no motivation or self esteem to get out and get a job. I knew I would have to get work eventually, but I just couldn’t do it at first.

Finally, I got off that ugly brown velour hand-me-down couch and went to a Temp Agency.

I started to work, and started to get some self confidence back.

I got a temp position as a receptionist at an Acupuncture College and after 3 weeks of working there, they offered me the job full time.

They couldn’t offer me the salary I wanted, but they did offer me free Massage Training to make up the difference.

I seized the opportunity for something different and new and ran with it.

Learning about how the body works and how intelligent it is lit me up.

I loved learning the Eastern Healing Arts of Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Tui Na Massage, and the Chinese approach to life and the body was fascinating.

I found the body’s energy system, how we move, what we are made of and how we can get our bodies to heal,  energizing and inspiring.

I went from being a very “Unhealthy” and “Unconscious” person about my health and wellness to Being a person who takes the steps to be more “healthy” and more “health conscious”.  

My favorite perk of working at the College was weekly Acupuncture treatments.

These helped me recover from the depression, shame, and emotional burnout I had experienced from my job in the South. I actually felt better.

As I started to feel better, my confidence grew and I became really talented at giving massages.

On the day I was taking my massage training test I heard a voice within my head say,         

                    “You can do this! You can do this as a career. Go for it!”  

So I quit my receptionist job and  became a Holistic Health Practitioner.  

That was 22 years ago.

How did I become an Expert in Healthy Lifestyle Makeovers? 

As I studied and became a Holistic Health Practitioner, I began to embody a “semi” holistic lifestyle.

Yup, I hadn’t completely bought in yet..

I still smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol, cussed, and held resentments.

All that changed when I got pregnant.

I wanted the best environment for my baby to grow up in. (Funny how it’s always easier to do the best for others instead of ourselves!)

If you are anything like me,  a “healthy lifestyle” meant you went to the doctor, got vaccines and had fluoride treatments on your teeth.

My parents followed what was presented to them by Doctors and the media as health care.

For some reason when I was 12, my parents decided to put us on a high protein diet. This was the first time in my life I had heard of the word diet.
I had however already thought I was fat since the 2nd grade.
I don’t remember if we lost weight, but I do have a sense that I felt better.
But it was just a diet. Something you did temporarily to lose weight then you went back to normal eating, whatever that was.
I discovered very quickly there did not seem to ever be an end to dieting.

The next diet my mom, sister, and I tried was giving up sugar.  
Now 40 years ago, that was close to impossible in our circle of family, friends, and the culture because sugar surrounded us daily.

So flash forward again to when I found out I was pregnant.

I quit all my vices, drinking, smoking, cussing, all except unhealthy eating.  

In fact, after my son was born, I increased the amount and frequency that I was using food as a drug and coping mechanism.

I felt undisciplined about what I ate, especially since I knew food could heal the body from my profession.  

Being a new mom was more than I could handle alone.

I started rewarding myself for making it through a day of motherhood with 1 pint of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream.

Soon 1 pint wasn’t satisfying my need for approval,  calm and coping so I started buying and consuming 2 pints.

My eating and cravings were so out of control that I would go to different stores to buy my pints of ice cream out of embarrassment.  I imagined the store clerks would think I was a pathetic pig if they saw me buying pints of ice cream from them every day! 

Soon my pregnancy pants started not fitting.  

Everyone kept reassuring me that I’d lose weight while breastfeeding.

But guess what, I couldn’t breastfeed. I wasn’t producing milk.

My infant son wasn’t getting nourished. We spent the first 2 weeks of our relationship in the doctor’s office trying to keep him alive and trying to get my body to make milk.

Finally, I started supplementing with formula.

I hated doing it. I felt guilt and shame. I was in the total wrongness of me but I had no choice. My son needed to eat.

Taking care of a child was so new to me. I was clueless and had No idea what to eat, when to eat, and no foods satisfied me.

So I kept ballooning.

I was 190 lbs and still gaining, wearing a size 16 and even that was getting snug when I thought to myself,

“What the f*#k is happening to you? If you keep going like this, you are going to be obese.”

I hated the way I looked and felt, inside and out.

I knew it was the food that was making me fat. But I didn’t know how to stop eating, conquer the cravings and end this emotional and physical rollercoaster.

I had an awareness and I started journaling. Every day, in my journaling, I ASKED desperately for help!

Guess what?  I got the answer I needed to help me on my path to Healthy Eating.

The Universe always provides if YOU Ask.

I was going to see my family and I took the train, baby and me.

When I got off the train I saw a beautiful thin woman running towards me yelling my name.

From afar, I had no idea who she was. She was radiant, svelte, vibrant & amazing and as she got closer, my jaw dropped.

                                                     It was my sister!

I had never seen my sister look so beautiful, so thin and healthy, have such a happy spirit, and be so welcoming!

                                        What the f*#k had happened?

In the course of that weekend visit, I made her tell me how she did it, how she lost the weight and looked so good - and she did tell me, she shared everything. 

She shared which program had helped her to make this transformation.

I thought what the heck! I’ll try it! I’m desperate!

I didn’t have another diet in me and I acknowledged I was not able to do it by myself. I knew I was never going to be able to lose weight again without help.

So, I joined the same program.

Granted, it was a month after I acknowledged I couldn’t do it on my own anymore that I joined the program...., I guess I had to prove it to myself again by gaining more weight and wallowing alone.

Joining this Program helped me  become a master at identifying my sneaky emotional eating triggers.

I surrendered into the ease of having a food plan and the joy of healthy habits.

After thinking I was fat, overweight and ugly since childhood, I finally felt healthier, happier and more confident in myself and body.

I had found a plan of Being that taught me not only how to eat healthier and cook healthier but to think healthier and feel healthier too.

                   I became hooked on eating, thinking and being healthy.

I was finally DONE with the past.

Done with dieting, done with starving, done with restricting, done with trying every new fad published.  My Transformation resulted in me specializing in Emotional Eating Support and Holistic Lifestyle Makeovers.

I knew if I could change my Standard American Diet (SAD), then I knew I could help anyone else change too, and have simular results as well.

Plus, I know it can be uncomfortable at first to change your eating lifestyle. I’ve been there. Doing it alone is near impossible.

It took me almost 20 years to even think about eating different and getting the transformation I desired. I don’t want you to have to wait that long.

I’m here to use my expertise in helping people who are committed to reach their health & wellness goals and create a whole new relationship to food and their life. That’s the key.

I have had my ups and downs with eating for health versus eating for my emotions, and because of my years of being in the trenches, learning about how the body functions best, delving into how food will heal the body, I have been able to put my knowledge, my education, my personal experience and my proven tricks and hacks to the test with fantastic results for my many group and private clients.

Who are my clients?

I work with people just like you who have a deep desire to live a healthy lifestyle, but have never been taught what foods to eat for life-long weight release, weight management and radiant health and abundant wealth.

What makes me different from other coaches ?

Even though I have a “weight loss and management” system, and a "wealth revolution" system, I  also understand that “real” body, mind and wealth transformation comes from being totally engaged using your Body, your Mind, and your Spirit. If you only use one of these elements, you may have results, but they will not be lasting results.

I’ve been where you are. I was an Emotional Eater and someone who had no idea what “healthy” was prior to my entering into the Wholistic world of Massage and finding a way to lose weight by changing my idea about “healthy eating”.

I alsoI was broke, and living paycheck to paycheck, and spending beyond my means and praying for the money to come. 
​
I’m totally committed to you getting results. Do I have a TO DO list? Yes. But if you don’t jive with it, then what is the point? I want YOU to be EMPOWERED to be YOU and get the results you desire. I am tough, empathetic, and empathic. That’s the incredible thing about working with a me as your coach. A coach is someone that shows you what you are hiding from and helps you through it, helps you hurdle those demons you don’t want to face. If you are ready - I’m ready to help you face them, conk them out and get past them!

What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me, as your client?
​

People that are ready and committed to their transformation are the best personality types to work with. People that are willing to surrender what they think they know and trust in me are who will thrive in these programs.

​The Nourished Betty programs were created for people who are absolutely excited and dead serious about breaking out of their daily ruts, breaking through resistance, making healthy lifestyle choices. You’ll end self lamenting, hating yourself, blaming others for your body conditions, and Begin Loving Yourself and Your Body Size.

Affiliate Institute, is for anyone willing and committed to taking their wealth consciousness and super sizing it with online marketing. It is the best advanced training on building your own brand on the internet. It applies to all businesses, from Local Merchants desiring to have an online presence in Social Media, to Coaches, to Affiliate Marketers. The training here is cutting edge, and superb beyond measure. 

​

For what type of personality are my programs NOT going to work for? ​

The Nourished Betty programs and the GAZ platform will not work for people looking for a quick fix and people that are not open to Energy or Self Care.

A lot of being a Betty (or Eddie for male genders)  has to do with being open to new and ancient information about living, science, brain science, breathing, and more. If you don’t have an open mind to the possibility of YOU having the Magic Ingredient for your Transformation, then there is really no reason for us to work together.

I also do not work well with people who identify themselves as Victims. Victims are people that believe what other people tell them about themselves. They believe what the Doctors tell them, they believe what their family tells them. Victims allow themselves to believe they are not strong enough or good enough to have what they desire in life. Victims like to blame others or a condition for their current state of ill health or ill wealth. If you identify with a story about your body, your health, or your wealth, and do not want to take responsibility for getting yourself to your goals via your thoughts, lifestyle or emotions - you are a victim and there is no use working with me. I don’t tolerate woe-is-me-ness. I don’t believe you are incurable or pathetic. Ever.

The Nourished Betty Programs and GAZ platform do not work for people that are lazy or not motivated. If you have been on a million diets or tried a zillion ways to increase your income, and are still in the same predicament or worse than you started, and you are blaming the diet or income strategy for not transforming you - these programs will not work for you.

TNBP and the GAZ platform are about Change. Real change. You have to do the work, show up, and be present for the programs to work. If you give up, don’t give the exercises a try and think 1 time is enough, then these Programs are not for you. Much of change is about repetition. Wash away your old habits, rinse out the old beliefs and Repeat - Wash, Rinse, Repeat - that is what creates new habits and new beliefs.

Personalities that give up after one cycle will not get results.

Inconsistency will not get you results. You have to commit to the program 100 %. That is why I have a 2 week, a 12 week program, a 6 month and a 9 month Healthy Eating Lifestyle Program. That is why the GAZ platform has a 2 week FREE Trial!

I know that people are inconsistent. But when there is a cut off date or deadline, you are more apt to try something new. You say to yourself, “I can do that for 2 weeks - 14 days - easy.” I can do that for 30 days - easy. I can do that for 75 days. I can do that.” But if I told you, you’d have to do it for the rest of your life - you’d balk. I believe a 1 day at a time commitment will get you there. Some of you may have to do 1 hour at a time or even 1 minute at a time - but if you will commit to that thinking, you will be able to complete and transform in these programs.

People that believe more in what other people tell them than their own intuition will not thrive in these programs. If you have to have someone tell you what to do all the time, or ask others about what is right for you, you will hate this revolution.

Part of learning how to change your wellness and wealthy lifestyle, is learning how to listen to your body and your intuitive voice within. If you are afraid of the voice or think other people are more right than you - even me - then you will have a hard time in this revolution. Like I said, I will show you the tools, but you are your own authority. You have to be willing to listen to your inner voice! And trust in your inner voice. I will help you get there. But you are the authority of your body, mind & wealth.

Doubters will hate this Revolution. People that have to have scientific factual evidence for all that I present. People that doubt that there is a spiritual realm to life. People that doubt feelings are as important as facts will not succeed in this revolution.  You must come with an open mind. If you want factual evidence then I suggest you use yourself as the guinea pig. Try the exercises I present, go through the energy clearings. Prove it for yourself that it works for you or doesn’t work for you.

Can I contact some of your former clients to see what it's like to work with you? 

Yes, I encourage you to! Please go to the Client Testimonials page and read all of them. See which ones you feel drawn to, either because the person has gotten the results you want to get too, or perhaps because that person is in a similar situation as you. Then feel free to email or call them and ask what they got from working with me and my programs.

How quickly can I expect results? 

That depends on how quickly you can make those inner shifts. Some clients are ready to go and sky rocket their success in a very short time frame, sometimes even a few weeks, while others have a bit more work to do first. It really depends on how much effort you are willing to put into each program. The shorter programs are really geared to getting your brain into the game of living a healthy life. The 10 week program is designed to get you a 10lb or close to 10lb weight release in 30 days. Getting rid of excess weight and the habits that got you there takes time and effort. The more committed you are, the faster the results.

How can I guarantee myself that I will get a healthy eating lifestyle, in record time?

Do all of your homework. Be totally committed to your transformation. Understand that this is a process, a proven one, that works if you take action and implement all of the steps. All my clients who have diligently applied every step of their program has successfully eliminated their emotional eating and gotten rid of unwanted weight in much less time than they would have on their own.

Will I recover my health when I invest in this coaching program?

Yes. When you commit to changing your eating habits, you also commit to a total lifestyle makeover. Many health issues disappear just from eating better. Many emotional issues disappear just by practicing extreme self care. My clients always say they feel better when they are practicing a healthy eating lifestyle.
