I am a certified Can-Fit-Pro "Personal Trainer Specialist", as well as a certified "Nutrition and Wellness Specialist". Anyone who knows me, also knows that I take my certifications, as well as these areas of study and expertise very seriously. That's me at 47 years of age on the cover of my e-book. I have spent my entire adult life studying diet and nutrition, weight loss, fat loss, fitness and exercise, as well as skin care and overall health issues in one form or another. I have read hundreds, perhaps thousands of books on the subject and continue to follow all the latest, up-to-date research with reference to pertinent health related and lifestyle issues. I am keenly interested in the mind/body/spirit connection as it pertains to total health and wellness, including any safe, natural alternatives that contribute to healthy living. I have also probably tried just about every exercise and diet program known to man over the course of my adult life and believe me, some of it was not pretty!
In my latest e-book, "Mamma's Got A Secret", I strive to give you all the latest facts, findings and research, with the hope that it will help guide your way to total health and wellness.
I wish you the greatest success in your efforts to gather the knowledge necessary to assist you in changing your nutritional and exercise habits, thus changing your health and ultimately, changing your life!

Health, nutrition, weight loss and anti-aging tips that will change the way you live
Besides being a certified 'Personal Trainer' and a 'Nutrition and Wellness Specialist', I have had indispensable, countless years of experience in and around the medical community throughout my lifetime. I have spent immeasurable amounts of time studying and learning various therapy techniques in a multitude of different medical facilities throughout Ontario and Canada. I take health issues very seriously.For months now I have been working on and writing informational 'packets' with reference to nutrition, anti-aging, weight loss and exercise. My newest e-book, "Mamma's Got A Secret" is a compilation and a condensation of hundreds of pages of work. I have endeavored to put the things that I know to be true and sensible into a concise, easy to read and short format. This e-book is therefore done in point form and includes 100+ facts, tips, tricks and pointers to help you lead a healthy and full life.
You will find nutritional information, weight loss and fat loss techniques, healthy lifestyle tips, along with exercise guidelines and other points of interest that might not only spark your enthusiasm, but encourage your path to better health.
There are literally thousands of anti-aging, nutritional, weight loss, fat loss and diet programs on the market today, as well as hundreds of individuals who claim to be experts in the various fields they write about. Some of the programs are great, some of them are ridiculous and some of them are just plain deceptive. My new e-book, "Mamma's Got A Secret", will give you all the latest facts as I know them and dispel some of the myths surrounding proper nutrition and eating, exercise, weight loss, fat loss, beauty and health.

"Mamma's Got A Secret" - Nutrition and Diet - Healthy Eating (excerpt)
A small 'taste' of what healthy foods can do for you!
"71. Some like it HOT! (chilli, chili, chile). Chili peppers pack a real one-two punch and then some! They come in many different varieties, colors and shapes, as well as varying degrees of heat! Capsaicin, the active ingredient found in chili peppers can make your eyes water, your nose run, as well as your tongue and throat burn. A typical green chili pepper contains more Vitamin C than a whole orange and is low in sodium, but very rich in Vitamin A (red chilies), potassium and fiber. The compounds found in chili peppers are purported to help in the fight against heart disease, pain, cancer and cataracts. It has anti-inflammatory properties and thus can be considered as a potential treatment for such things as arthritis, shingles and psoriasis; it's also thermogenic, so helps to increase your metabolic rate, which in turn can help burn fat; it may help to prevent sinus infection and congestion, along with heart disease and stroke because it lowers cholesterol levels and helps prevent clotting. Believe it or not, chili peppers can also help to relieve digestive problems! Pretty impressive for this powerful, little superfood called the chili pepper. Wow, who would've thought!!"

My Life, My Passion!
In Order To Tell You How This Book Came About, I Need To Tell You My Story!
For those of you who know me personally, you know that I have three adult children, as well as a ten year old grandson. Sherry, my oldest daughter, was just recently diagnosed with a life-threatening debilitating disease. We're still reeling from and learning to deal with this latest news. Our middle son Jeremiah was born prematurely and was subsequently diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, which in his case includes physical, social, developmental and mental handicaps. Jeremiah is considered 'total care' and functions somewhere between the ages of 6 and 11 months of age. That also means that he is non-ambulatory, non-verbal, diapered and unable to feed or dress himself - the full gamut. Our youngest son Jonathan, at the age of nineteen, was in a severe car accident just two months after Jeremiah was placed in a private, full care facility and to this day is still fighting his way back to total health.
With Jeremiah, physical and occupational therapy sessions were part of my everyday life, as well as the multitude of other components associated with advocating and taking care of an individual who can't fight for their own rights and/or take care of themselves. Being a full-time caretaker made me appreciate the enormity of what full health and total wellness is all about. My certifications were a natural extension of the areas of expertise that I had already spent innumerable years studying and investigating. Believe me, health is a big, big deal in our family!!
BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD ..... I BELIEVE!
We're In This Together!
** I Believe in love. I believe that faith and love, along with patience and perseverance will get us through.
** I Believe that we can change our own destinies.
** I Believe that we can affect and ultimately change not only our own lives, but also the lives of others.
** I Believe in second chances - and as many as we need to get it right.
** I Believe we should complain less and care more.
** I Believe that you do not make mistakes and you do not fail - you have experiences, good or bad, and ultimately, what they become is what you make of them.
** I Believe that I have learned a great deal from the past and that I will handle whatever comes my way in the future.
** I Truly Believe, with all my heart, that we are all connected in some grand way and therefore, what affects me, ultimately affects you and vice versa.
** I Believe we should work for the common good of all - that you should want as much for your neighbor as you want for yourself.
** I Believe in a "Higher Power". I believe in me, I Believe in you and I Believe in us. Our combined energy is infinite and unstoppable ..... and the strength of our amazing indomitable spirits is immeasurable. Reach for the stars!
I'm a BELIEVER and I'm a true romantic at heart ..... And I like it that way!
We all contribute to this wonderful universe, as we learn and grow from our experiences. There is only one "you" and there is only one "me" AND we are each unique and beautiful; we are all perfect just as we are .... And together, my friend, we can move mountains; we CAN make a difference. We WILL make a difference!
There is a time and place for each and every one of us. The time is here .... now! SO, MY FRIEND ..... DARE TO DREAM - DREAM BIG!

When I'm not writing, working with clients, researching health and fitness information and/or nutritional facts or taking care of my family obligations, I can be found outdoors. Exercise, as well as reducing stress and increasing energy levels, helps you to drop those unwanted pounds, lose the excess fat and gain beautiful, sculpted muscle. Take care of that beautiful body, so that it can take care of you in the years ahead. All exercise counts toward total health.Who says we can't do it all! We can certainly give it a whirl!

Hey, only my best friends see me in my work duds! :)
One last note - don't forget to continually exercise your "mind". I love to learn! Besides my PTS and NWS certifications, I have my "Masters" in 'Diamond Grading and Identification' from The Antwerp Diamond High Council and I continue to write and read daily. I've taken Real Estate and Appraisal Courses and continue to grow through courses related to 'self-exploration', 'self discovery' and 'self-help', as offered by CAN-FIT-PRO and other organizations. Everyone, despite their societal stature/position can learn something from someone else. We are all students ..... and we are all teachers. Make sure that you always listen and learn. Be open to new experiences. Life is a journey and although our path is unique to us, we are continually 'crossing paths' with others who experience life differently. Learn from them too. I have learned 'something' of value from everyone whose path I have crossed in my lifetime to date and I look forward to the lessons that future acquaintances will bring.

Six degrees of separation?
These are the people I learn from on a daily basis and whose lives have fuelled my passion for continual growth in the areas of health and wellness education.
My children and my husband - my family - make me want to be a better person, a better "me"; their support and faith encourages me to try to touch other lives, to reach out and to help others; to make a difference.
Our oldest child and daughter Sherry (31) has just recently been diagnosed with a life-threatening debilitating disease.
Our middle son Jeremiah was born with Cerebral Palsy and functions somewhere between 6-11 months of age.
Our youngest son Jonathan (26), at the age of 19, was in a severe car accident just two months after Jeremiah was placed in a private, full care facility and to this day is still fighting his way back to total health.
Our children are incredible, miraculous individuals, who have taught us more about courage, perseverance, patience, hope and love than we could have learned in a lifetime without them. They are all truly courageous, wonderful and talented individuals!
When I Dream, I Dream Big!
Warm climates warm my heart!
Being truly healthy means taking time for yourself - time to relax, unwind, de-stress and recoup. I love the Hawaiian Islands, but any place that is warm, where you can sit and relax, take a deep breath and regenerate without interruption is okay with me. The Caribbean Islands are also a great destination when you want to get away from it all!
Although I love a great vacation south, sometimes a simple change of pace and location is just the ticket!
Wealth, Abundance, Health, Happiness and Joy
Why this Module? Because it tells me I'm on the right track .... and it makes me HAPPY!
**Besides, it makes me truly 'happy'.
