I’ve had the honor of working with Caterina for a couple of years now. Below, she describes her transformation achieved through consistent support and dedication to her health. Congratulations on your successes, Caterina! I am excited to see where you go from here! “The most significant overall change I see in myself is I have become …
If you spend any time with me, you’ll quickly come to realize I am passionate about vegetables. Mind you, nearly all nutritionists and dietitians appreciate them – and if we are doing our job we’ll definitely be talking to you about them – but I’ve noticed that I’m a little extra excited about them.

I knew that having a child was going to provide ample distractions and make it challenging to stay focused. That said, I didn’t fully realize the magnitude of perpetual disruption on how connected I would feel to myself and my life’s path.

I had the GREAT honor this afternoon of sharing with others what it is like to live an inspiring life. Sue Oliver, success coach and head of the Passions and Possibilities Project asked me to share some of my story and what it means to take the leap into living a life you are passionate …

Mindfulness is a key element in successfully maintaining weight loss, determining which foods work best for your body, and for staying healthy and balanced in all areas of life.
