1. Has Consumption Sneakily Enveloped Earth Day?
How many of you have recently been compelled by some hot ad to go out and buy cool new "green" gear?
The other day I was thinking about the regular newsletters I receive that tell me about all the cool new "green" gadgets I can buy. And for the first time it occurred to me: Why are my "green" newsletters always encouraging me to buy things I don't need? Isn't part of the problem with the environment our excessive consumption?
What's Most Environmentally Friendly
I think "green" gadgets are cool. I mean, if I was going to buy it anyway, I'd rather buy it "green" than not "green." And if I have something that is unsafe in my home because it's not environmentally friendly, then certainly I would want to replace it. But, I think you know what I mean...
This year will you join with me in thinking of Earth Day as simply about enjoying creation? Will you join me in thinking about how you can save what you have and buy less? Will you join me in figuring out how to re-use what you have and to share what you don't need anymore instead of throwing it out?
Ways To Celebrate
You could celebrate by planting something rather than to buying a product. You could celebrate by learning how to take care of a plant, or by starting an herb garden in your window. You could celebrate by walking or riding your bike instead of riding in a vehicle. You could celebrate by not buying food that comes in a package.
Just some thoughts... Earth Day is the 22nd. How will you celebrate?
Intro Perfect Weight Workshop - Free Intro Night
I'm hosting a one-hour workshops for all the individuals who are interested in my 12-Week Health and Fitness Perfect Weight Group. I have changed it to "Perfect Weight Group" in honor of my friend Nadette Stasa who wants women to think about going to a group to achieve their "perfect weight" as a positive step, as opposed to thinking about "weight loss."

2. Intro Perfect Weight Workshop - FREE
This week I am holding free two intro workshops for you to find out if private coaching or the 12-week group program is right for you!
Sunday April 20, 12:30 - 1:30pm
Thursday April 24, 7:00 - 8:00pm
(more info below)
**NEW NEWS!!!**
Also, I have partnered with Piel Canela Dance School (salsa, tango, hip hop) to offer you a fun way to get your workouts when you join the 12-week program. (see below for more details).
The intro perfect weight workshops are great for:
Those of you who are considering the 12 Week Health and Fitness Group
Those of you who are interested in the possibility of working with me privately
You will walk away with practical tools you can use independently of coaching or groups, and you will also walk away with a better understanding of whether coaching of the fitness group will better help you achieve your goals.
Please e-mail me to register for either one of these two workshops:
Sunday April 20, 12:30 - 1:30
Thursday April 26, 7:00 - 8:00 pm
Location: UWS
Please e-mail for exact address
Feel free to bring friends.
Call today to talk to me about whether this group is right for you.
**I have partnered with Piel Canela Dance School, which means that instead of having to commit to taking two classes with a personal trainer at the same time every week, you will be able to get your workout by selecting classes at the dance studio that fit with your interest and schedule!**

The Nutrition and Health Makeover
I don't eat what I should, nor do I stick to an exercise plan. I'm not even sure if I know what I should eat! I find myself snacking on junk food and eating poorly when I'ma t work or traveling. I want to have more energy and be fit. I want to grow old healthy!

In this plan, we'll get down to the nitty gritty about what is getting in the way for you, and how you can achieve a healthier you without cramping your lifestyle. We'll create a therapeutic lifestyle plan that works just for you!

I'm tired of not sticking to my diets. I'm ready to make a commitment to my health. I want to see my real body underneath this cushion. I want to feel good when I walk down the street and enter a room.
Sticking to a weight loss plan is hard. No doubt about it! This program is designed to get you off the dieting cycle and get you on a plan to achieve results. It's for individuals who are ready to make a change and commit to giving this gift to themselves. No more quick fix attempts. This is the real deal!

I Am - Strategic Solutions for Women in their 20's
I love working with young women! It's a time in life where you are testing your own identity and power in this world, yet sometimes you feel conflicted by the pressure of your parents' and peers' ideas about what track you should be on. You have your own mind and you want to use it... but sometimes you're not sure about your different opinions. This program deals with self-image, self-respect, confidence, and effective decision making.
5 sessions - $575 (sliding scale available for this program, please call or e-mail me for details).

All programs can be adjusted to fit your specific needs. Number of sessions can be increased or decreased based on your goals.
Payment plans available.

"For whatever reason, people are so inclined to spend money on a health club membership and working out their body, but when it comes to working on the mind and emotions, people are more hesitant. I remember the session that we had together and all of the advise and direction that you provided was truly excellent. You really made a very positive impact on my life and I can tell that you are exceptionally gifted in this area. You have a very intuitive sense and are able to put all the pieces together very quickly and correctly. These are very good skills for the type of coaching that you do, and I hope more people will see how they can benefit from the coaching that you provide." -J.R.
"You are non-judgmental and so real and practical about dealing with these issues. I tell everyone about you. You are so young, but you are so smart and have great insight. I love working with you, and I'm a tough customer." GG, NYC
