What do you see yourself looking and feeling like in the next 10 years?

I think most of you want to be flexible, mobile, energized, happy, healthy and fit. But what are you willing to do about that now?

As a Registered Nurse, mother and fitness enthusiast, health and longevity are my first priorities. I believe that most diseases and ailments can be prevented by eating healthy nutrient packed foods, proper hydration, incorporating a daily exercise routine, meditation/deep breathing, relaxation techniques and adequate sleep. I will teach you the Wim Hof Breathing Technique,  a technique that is pure science and simple to incorporate in your everyday life. It will help heal your injuries, pain will decrease, respiratory and immune system will become more efficient. You will feel connected to your body, heart, mind and be left with a feeling of euphoria, sense of calmness and peace. It’s a simple technique that we already do in the hospitals when you come in for an illness, injury or disease process. The nurse teaches you to: Deep Breath and Cough. We also have you expand your lung capacity by giving you an incentive spirometer to breathe into. We tell you when you are giving birth or have an ailment in the lungs to breathe through pursed lips. BUT let’s do all of that when you are well and healthy too! I believe this process can rejuvenate the cells of the body by giving it one of the important ingredients of life, OXYGEN. Let me teach you the Wim Hof Technique. It is the missing link to better health and well-being that people need to incorporate in their lives that will help prevent illness in the body.

Getting in shape and remaining in shape should be effective and easy, and it is!

Because I am passionate about health, wellness and fitness it quickly rubs off on others to get the best out of their total body, mind and spirit workouts.

To help you achieve realistic results I developed my NOWES system, a systematic, “back to basic” living and eating method that will quickly get you to feel and live a fitter and healthier life.

The NOWES system is like a jump-start to a deeper understanding of the basic physiological, mental and individualized techniques that will help you achieve an improved, intuitive sense of your own body. It’s the A,B,C’s of living.

Part of being a RN (Registered Nurse) I’ve witnessed life and death in the emergency room. What stood out is that many non-accidental ailments could have been prevented or recovery time reduced if patients had stuck to a healthy diet and exercised at least 30 minutes 3 times per week.

You may not be able to stop that drunk driver at the wheel of that wayward 10 ton truck that hit you, but you sure can avoid being that driver or reduce the time it takes to get back on your feet after any accident, pregnancy, or deep emotional experience.

Not only was I stunned observing the clear difference between those patients who did and those who didn’t adhere to commons sense health rules, in my own life, after giving birth to my first child, a healthy boy, I stuck to my personal nutritional and physical convictions and was back in a bikini, shooting a Calendar, merely 3 months after delivery. In fact, I was in the best shape of my life and decided to compete in the Utah classic, while breastfeeding, so I had to keep eating healthy foods which meant no extreme “carb-cutting,” or taking sports supplements with stimulants in them. Lots of wheat grass and fresh squeezed carrot juices, salads and organic lean meats did miracles with my figure and endurance. And above all, my son too loved the near endless flow of milk that his relentless thirst triggered.

In September 2004, further testing my NOWES system, I competed in my first figure competition, the Utah Spring Classic and placed 2nd while still breast feeding my then 6 month old son.

Still not convinced that I had tried all variations of diet and training, I entered the 2005 GNC California State Championships and placed 3rd and qualified me to compete in the Nationals. I wanted to compete in the USA in Las Vegas Nevada. Unfortunately, at this same time, I was also weaning my son off breastfeeding. And if anyone knows about this experience, breasts can be very tender, painful and engorged. It took several weeks before both my son and I transitioned, but I decided to compete in the New York Team Universe and out of about 30 competitors in my class I placed 11th. Not bad for my first National figure show with a lot of competitors, but life and health is more than placing in figure and bodybuilding contests, the trick is to stay fit and healthy all year round.
