I have researched many programs, attended numerous seminars and personally searched for ways to marry the non-diet approach to health with sound nutrition practices. I have always wanted to develop my own program, but was excited to find the HUGS program contained many of the concepts I have been teaching all nicely organized and packaged in a "ready to present" format. Thanks for saving me time. It's so nice to not feel alone in the jungle of traditional diets and diet products. I've have been a registered dietitian for over 13 years. I have always had a special interest in working with persons with eating disorders. However, in my work, I constantly see similarities with my clients struggling with obesity and weight issues. For more than 5 years I have been working with a psychologist to treat disordered eating. It has been wonderful to have the chance to truly develop the nutrition therapy side of my career. I have also been doing hunger-satiety work for over 5 years. I am excited about the HUGS program as a way to better present group non-diet counseling to my clients. In addition to my clinical experience, I have 11 years of management experience, own a private consulting practice (Visions for Success) and have author a number of professional books on nutrition and recently a book for the public titled: Baby Basics: A Guide for New Parents. I practice in a physician clinic one to two days per week and in a small rural hospital 3 days per weeks. |
