Helping you find your healthy balance with an integrative approach using food, exercise and stress management techniques.
My Personal Journey
About Jodie – Certified Health and Nutrition Consultant in Northern Virginia
This is what I do and why I do it:
I am a mom of five beautiful children, a 2 time breast cancer survivor, a runner, an attorney, a musician, personal trainer, and a health coach. All of these things combined make me who I am, an individual. As a mom, I have spent years researching and understanding how food impacts my children. We have several food allergies in our family so I spend a lot of time analyzing ingredients. As a breast cancer survivor, I have spent the past 10 years really delving in to the impact food has on your body, which kinds will benefit each individual, and which can cause harm. As a health and nutrition specialist, it is my goal to help my clients understand these impacts so that they can learn to choose the best nutrition and exercise that will keep their individual body in optimal health.
Vision
Just as I am an individual made up of all the above traits and qualities, I value my clients the same. Each person who walks in my door will be viewed and treated bioindividually. Together we will determine your own unique needs that will help you find your best healthy self through individualized nutrition and physical training goals.
Experience
