You're probably thinking, I've tried it all, is this legit?

At the beginning of my heath and wellness career back in 2001, the questions I kept hearing from clients over and over again were, "What's true? Which information do I trust? Why hasn't anything worked for me in the past?" So many felt hopeless. Once I found empowerment I knew I'd never go back, and I made it my mission to help others on their journey through nutritional education, daily support, motivation, lifestyle change and problem-solving. True transformation is my specialty. 

​When I started this business in 2010, I felt a calling to help others, specifically women, become healthy and empowered. To me, empowerment means really understanding nutrition, because there are so many trends, fads, MLM companies selling shakes and supplements, mega-mogul weight loss companies advertising day and night, pharmaceutical "cures" and conflicting nutritional information coming out weekly that folks are understandably confused and frustrated. 

I have 20 years experience in the health and wellness field, beginning my career as a yoga instructor. I'm a certified Personal Trainer and Lifestyle & Weight Management Coach, as well as a Diabetes Prevention Counselor. I am certified through Cornell University in Plant-Based Nutrition, and graduated with honors from the Academy of Culinary Nutrition's rigorous education and training program as a Professional Culinary Nutritionist. Most importantly, I've successfully helped hundreds of women in the past decade.

"For anyone looking to better their overall health and vitality, Lori’s inspirational, exciting, practical program is a great resource. Lori's dedication and practicality shine forth to touch the ones who seek a change for the better and wish to assume full responsibility for their health. Her program is clear and easy to follow and a great empowering tool to share with friends, bringing like-minded people together.

On the path to health we shed what does not serve us - internal and external patterns that hold us back. We may sometimes have the feeling of being alone and unsupported in the world but the fact is we are never alone and are always supported and guided back to ourselves, healed, whole and complete. Greatness can come when one is open to receive guidance, and when one is willing to change patterns. 

I congratulate Lori on creating such a meaningful tool. May her message of happiness, vitality & good health always light the path for others!"
