As co-founder of Weiser Choices I provide health and wellness coaching for individuals, families and businesses. I specialize in helping busy individuals prioritize their health and nutrition in an overscheduled and hypercompetitive environment. A customized approach, combined with a curriculum of nutrition and lifestyle topics, enables my clients to rely less on the healthcare system while enjoying greater productivity, health and happiness. Many of my clients are overworked high-level executives and business owners trying to do it all. I coach them in areas including stress and time management, balancing career and family and eating healthfully while traveling. In addition to seeing clients improve their own health and outlook, I love bringing healthy lifelong nutrition habits to the entire family. To my delight, many clients report their children are requesting oatmeal for breakfast and kale at dinner!
Specific benefits my clients enjoy include preventing or managing chronic disease and improvements in:
• Weight
• Biometrics (e.g. cholesterol, triglycerides, HBA1c)
• Digestion
• Energy levels
and mood
• Sleep
• Skin
• Caffeine and sugar dependencies
• Headaches
• Hormonal balance
• Stress levels
• Productivity
• Family Nutrition
• Children’s weight
I have been featured in The New York Times and have made several guest appearances on Morning Living and Whole Living, both on Martha Stewart Living Radio, and FM News 101.9 in New York. In addition to health coaching, I currently serve on Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s Healthy Children Working Group and I am a founding board member of Camp Zeke.
Prior to becoming a health coach, I earned my B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, my M.B.A. from Penn’s Wharton School and worked in marketing for Time Inc. I am a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and earned an additional certificate in health counseling from Columbia University’s Teachers College.
My coaching style is direct, supportive and goal-oriented. I listen well and tie together details from multiple sessions allowing my clients to see patterns and identify obstacles in their lives that stand between them and optimal health.
I am 51, have been married for twenty-seven years and I am the mother of three girls. I have a mainstream orientation with a holistic overlay to my energetic and empathetic personality. In addition to coaching clients and spending time with my family, I enjoy yoga, biking, gym workouts, swimming, and skiing. Other important activities for me include trying new recipes each week and staying current on what’s happening in the world of health and nutrition as well as in the
rest of the world.
