My Story...

I was a sugar addicted, ritilin taking, wild-n-crazy, confused, creative, scattered, unorganized, all over the place, head in the clouds, loving, dancing, professional cheerleading, fabulous woman.  I had a hard time focusing on what I wanted out of life and I didn't make the connection between food and living the life I love!  I was digging alot of small holes instead of concentrating on digging one fabulous, beautiful, big hole.

I learned tips from my own Holistic Health Counselor, Holly.  She made me realize that I was on the sugar, salt rollarcoaster.  I was eating cookies and drinking alcohol and then the next day I was eating chinese food and wondering why I can't concentrate.  MMMMMMM.  Holly worked with me one step at a time to control my sugar cravings and all of a sudden I wasn't craving sugar anymore. 

Not eating refined sugar changed more that just my diet.  I found that my head was clearer.  I noticed that I didn't need ritilin at all!  I could focus on my career, my life, and I could channel my creativity into something positive.

Today I am a writer, workshop presenter, clothing designer, Healthy Hippie, and Holistic Health Counselor.

I learned the tools I needed to live the life I love and I love teaching my clients to do the same.

Me and my sissy as children.  Even though I didn't eat colored cereal, I ate alot of Captain Crunch!

Me as a cheerleader for the NJ Nets.  I'm far left.  I managed to have a tie dyed arm warmer.  Go hippie cheerleader go!

Me as the Healthy Hippie!  I'm hoopin at a festival.  This is me in my glory!!

How Did I Become the Healthy Hippie?

I love live music, festivals, and camping!  I know how hard it is to be healthy during festival season and following a band around the country (I was a Phish Head).  I started compiling tips called "The Healthy Hippie Tips of the Day" and I started to gain my own following.   Now I feel that it is my duty as the Healthy Hippie to give my fellow travelers daily tips so they can live the lives they love and keep true to their hearts as I have.  Jam on!
