About Me
I have been an educator for over 20 years. I have complemented my B.A. in education with a family tradition of holistic and alternative health. As a second generation alternative health practitioner, I have studied nutrition, reflexology, ayurveda, detoxification and cleansing tools, and have taught yoga for children both in Europe and USA. My holistic nutrition oriented approach to health counseling focuses on the whole picture of the healing, energetic properties of the food, and numerous factors shaping our bio-individualities
I graduated from Columbia University Teachers College and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City to receive and possess the training qualifications necessary to be recognized as an expert in the health field as a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHC) accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP). I am also a member of the American Holistic Health Association (AHHA), National Health Association (NHA) and American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.
My years in education as well as my life experience have prepared me well to be your alternative and holistic health and nutrition counselor in my Balancing Act Health and Wellness Program. After I turned 30, I struggled with failed diets and weight gain; I was overstressed and had hormonal imbalances with non-stop heavy bleeding before I hit menopause; and I had severe PMS issues at a much younger age than most. I gained much knowledge and insight from my unpleasant experiences and have since gained a new outlook on how to take care of myself, which I can teach. I can share my experience with you, be your exclusive Health Counselor to support and guide you in getting rid of health concerns you may have, and help yo
u become healthier and happier.
My positive and negative experiences in overcoming difficulties associated with multiple marriages, dating online and in person, being in an abusive relationship, and ultimately finding a good father for my son has given me capability, knowledge and expertise to be your best life coach with my “Healthy Relationship-Healthy You” Program for Women.
In addition to my private practice in New York City (I will be moving to California in the near future), I teach/give workshops on a variety of subjects including nutrition, women's issues, hormonal changes, stress relief, detox, sugar and food cravings, healthy aging, relationships, etc.
I write health related articles for women's websites and magazines. 
I am also a Women's Holistic Health and Nutrition Programs Expert at SelfGrowth.com
I enjoy traveling, reading, biking, dancing, tennis, practicing yoga, and have started to learn how to play the piano/keyboard. I am fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian, have completely forgotten French, understand Polish, and plan to learn Italian.
Another skill I am very proud of is my ability to write humorous rhymes/poems on the spur of the moment. Someday I may add a link to some of them; they can help put a smile on your face. 
I look forward to helping you get more of what you want from your body, your health, and your life.
P.S. Although I have moved recently from Manhattan to California, my health and wellness programs as well as holistic health and nutrition services are available by toll-free phone and over the internet; so please don't let it be a reason not to contact me.
My Mission
"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are." (Anthelme Brillat-Savarin)
I have always been passionate about health. My goal is to help people to learn how they may live healthier and happier, but in their own individual way that is best suited to their individual self. My mission is to help people to realize that their lives can be changed for the best, that they can live a balanced life that will help them to be happier and healthier. I would be proud of having the privilege to help you. If you look up in the dictionary, a counselor is a person who gives advice, and to advise means to inform, to recommend, to warn.
My mission is to advise my clients to make better choices in their food and life style. My mission includes informing my clients that what we eat can make a big difference in our health. My mission also includes educating my clients as to the increasing numbers of chronic health concerns, such as obesity, diabetes, reproductive issues and depression that result from our eating habits. My mission also includes warning my clients about the fundamental relationship between poor nutrition and the poor state of the public’s health.
Other words that describe me and what I do are: holistic counselor, wellness counselor, nutrition counselor, practitioner, alternative health counselor, lifestyle coach, natural counselor, health counselor, holistic nutrition counselor, holistic health counselor, holistic wellness counselor, lifestyle coach, health and nutrition coach, holistic health and nutrition expert.
