I will be teaching the following Minneapolis Community Education classes in November! Here they are:
Healthy Eating and Children: How to Talk About "Real Food"
We all want our children to make healthy choices even when we don't make them ourselves as parents. Children are bombarded with TV and internet ads for sugary and snack foods that correlate with ADD, ADHD, allergies and common illnesses. We will break it down to a few simple steps you can easily each your kids about foods that make their bodies feel their best, foods that are sometimes okay and foods to avoid: Green, yellow, and red light foods!

Healthy Eating and Weight Loss
People try all the “fad diets” and either give up or gain all the weight back. Weight loss is about eating whole, unprocessed foods and committing to a healthy lifestyle. Most “diet foods” are loaded with chemicals, additives, are devoid of nutrients, and actually make you gain more weight! We will go over the Three Powerful Principles of Nutrition and how to feed your body what it needs in order to look great on the outside and promote healing on the inside!

As a holistic nutrition and lifestyle coach, I will support you in taking steps to a healthier and happier you. My goal is to help you create an art of balance in your life.

I have been trying alot of new things lately and am loving it!! Last night, my friend Kim and I attended a free self-defense class offered through the Minneapolis Community Education Program. It was very engaging and informative!!! The instructor was hilarious!
I do not live in the safest neighborhood and had a run-in with a couple of drunk guys in my back alleyway before Christmas, resulting in being groped, and scraped hands and knees. I have not felt safe since!! I am not very big so I thought this class would be a great learning tool for me.
Did you know most women are attacked by someone they know?
Victims often report that something made them feel "uneasy" even before the attack began. The most useful thing you can do to upset an attacker's scenario and regain the initiative is to trust your feelings!!! You don't need to wait to find out why you feel uneasy before acting!
If you don't feel right about a person or situation, get or keep some distance. Don't assume that an attacker will always be a stranger. There are times when I have avoided strange men by crossing the street and using the other sidewalk, especially late at night when I am coming back to my studio.
Have strong body language: feet hip width apart with some space between them from front to back also. If a verbal response is required in a situation use simple statements and commands that refer only to what "I want" or "I don't want." Examples: "I want you to leave me alone!" "I want you to stay away from me!" "I don't want you to touch me!"
When physical resistance if the only chance for you to get away safely remember to use your arms and legs as weapons. Hard surfaces to strike with are: fist, fingers/nails, heel of your hand, edges of your hand, elbows, knees, ball of the foot, outside edge of the foot, and the heel.
Other safety measures to consider: whistles, air horns, pepper spray, tasers, or etc. But remember they can also be used against you!!!
Pay attention to your surroundings! Stay off your cell phone, hold keys in your hand, park under light poles, scan the area, tell people where you are going and when you will be home!!
I carry pepper spray on my keyring and have a baseball bat underneath my bed!!! Do whatever works for you!! Stay safe!!! :)
