In 2004 I decided to turn my life around and live my life even fuller. I started to research nutrition and health from a holistic perspective and I found quickly that everything in my life began to improve on its own. It's been a fantastic journey since then, for sure!

I am a professional student and aspiring Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine student as well (still working on medical science prerequisites). I hold numerous certifications in the areas of nutrition and physical therapy modalities.

I work as a Holistic Health Counselor for my company Be Healthy Now! and I also contribute to a blog by the same name.

Because of my belief in life-long learning, later this year I will be leaving New Jersey and spending 9 months at the Heartwood Institute studying Whole Foods Nutrition and Asian Healing Arts with renowned author Paul Pitchfor (Healing With Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition.

Academics aside, I'm a life-long martial artist as well. I have studied for 21 years now in a number of arts ranging from Kung Fu (numerous styles), Kali/Escrima, Muay Thai, and Japanese Jujutsu
