About Me
As my name says, I wear many hats. I drive a school bus, do massage therapy and nutrition counseling. I took a break from dietetics and have recently returned to the field part time. I am helping care for my mother who has diabetes, High blood pressure, and macular degeneration. I have wrestled the weight battle all my life and thought becoming a dietitian would end up with me at ideal body weight. It never happened. What did happen is that I now am able to enjoy the progress and good health I do have and I have successfully lost 45#! I still have a long way to go.
Interests
I love doing my in home walking tapes (Leslie Sansone) as a wonderful form of stress reduction. It is also helping me to lose weight. Due to issues with my Mother, I am actively working with the local diabetes association to educate individuals on ways to improve their quality of life through diet and exercise. I love to read and I love to spend time with my 2 dogs and 2 cats.

Close Senior Health & Aging
Type: EldercareI am trying to help my mother who is still living on her own. As a dietitian and massage therapist, I see medical concerns that my mother seems to be in denial about. I am just trying to find the balance between caring and respecting my mother. It has been very difficult on me.
