My motto is “Never Question a Miracle” and we see them here every day. I LOVE MY JOB. I honestly feel like I might be the luckiest person in the world. Losing weight is so difficult, and the system I’ve developed makes losing easier than you can imagine and the challenge of keeping it off is both logical and manageable. Plus, when all of your clients are happy, it makes going to work every day fun and exciting! I also LOVE MY LIFE and I LOVE OUR COMMUNITY. My husband Bob and I arrived in Sarasota on Thanksgiving Day, 1981 aboard our 1935 37 ft. wooden Chris Craft cruiser. We made the trip all the way down the Mississippi from Minneapolis, Minnesota. We were newly weds and literally ran out of money and fuel as we pulled into Marina Jack in downtown Sarasota. We’ve been here ever since. We lived aboard our boat for several years, adopted 2 newborns in 1987 and 1988, and moved to land. Our children Annie and Charlie have enriched our lives beyond belief. Today, our daughter Anne works as my office manager, our son Charlie has built a thriving acting career and is currently living in LA, and my loving husband, Bob is still by my side and still makes me laugh every single day. In 2001, my perfect life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and uterine cancer. Our children were in middle school and our foundation was shaken. Long story short, with the help of my oncologist, Dr. Caryn Silver, my acupuncturist, Dr. Ruan Jin Zhao and my homeopath, Dr. Martin Keane, I’m still here! I feel stronger and healthier than ever and truly look forward to helping you find your way down the path of good health.
