Leader in the: Adult Program

I have a Diploma in Home Science and a Post Graduate Diploma in Science specializing in Community Nutrition.

At present I offer individual counselling based on the Hugs Adult Program. In the near future I will extend this programs to small groups.

I chose to use the Hugs program because it is about building self esteem and empowering individuals to make there own healthy lifestyle choices.

When I took the Hugs Program, the lessons remined me to "value myself", "be kind to myself", "be patient with my progress", "to be aware of and trust my own body signals", "to be aware that some of our greatest acheivements are in the little steps along the way"
