dedication





we have all been dedicated to something at some point in our lives

others we brush aside

but sometimes you can be that person that triggers something in someone
for me there is on greater feeling


my clients have all been so on top of their game
for the past few months
some have done the "2 week challenge"
a handful of those
have seen such great results in those 2 weeks
and turned 2 into 6

the rest,
have been here every chance they could
& THEY WORK THEIR BUTTS OFF!

FITNESS.....i'm there man
THEIR MESSAGE:

The secret to healthy beautiful skin is really no secret at all....

It's simple.

Pure and Simple Workout

Physical exercise promotes stress reduction, muscle strength, youthfulness, and energy, not to mention an overall balance of mind, body and spirit.

There is nothing more rewarding when you start to feel your muscles work and your mind and body reconnect. Circuit training provides a sensible way to concentrate on strengthening and toning different muscle groups. With the same objective in mind, our Skin Fitness workout routine concentrates on perfecting your skin by rotating different treatments.

Any qualified trainer will tell you that ones body adapts to a specific form of exercise to the point that it is no longer as effective. In the same way our skin constantly needs to be introduced to a new routine. Initially, when we try a new product our skin looks and feels great, but after a while we no longer feel the same benefits. With our unique rotation therapy your skin is constantly being challenged, energized and revitalized.

Just as your body needs supplemental minerals and vitamins, Skin Fitness provides your skin with essential daily nutrients. Unlike commercial products containing chemical additives that are often harmful to your skin, our therapeutic treatments combine the purity and potency of nature's healing agents. Skin Fitness effectively stimulates and redefines your skin with the finest of all natural ingredients and ultra concentrated formulas. With our commitment to creating a healthy youthful appearance Skin Fitness provides you with 'Back to Basic' nutrition for your skin.

i left the spa with the Pure Oxygen Serum
-infuses pure oxygen, promoting regeneration of cell metabolism
an exfoliant of Enzymes, Grape Seeds, & Glycolic Acid
along with the nighttime Retinolic Serum
-treatment of combination skin
so i shall be looking glamourous in NO TIME

addiction/suppression






















it's amazing the connection we have to food

our associations with contentment
happiness
joy
pleasure
excitement
even companionship

sugar
salt
grease
carbs
processed "goodies"


my my......the power of suppression that food holds
INCREDIBLE
you are feeling something and what do you know
the next thing you know
your head is in the fridge
WHO HAS BEEN THERE?



the addiction i have felt to food is ridiculous
"i know this is bad for me"
"i know i dont need this right now"
"i know that i doing this because my mind is telling me not to"
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

being a nutritionist
working with blood sugar stabilization
eating every 3 hours
food is your life
food/meal planning takes over

you can plan properly
or you can let food rule your life

once you realize that food is fuel
not pleasure
or a stress reliever

then you can really face your problems







SUGAR
CAFFINE
ALCOHOL
NICOTINE
all effect Brain Chemistry
our emotions
and sugar

"The Society of Neuroscience claims drugs,
such as morphine, and sugar act on the same pleasure receptors
in the brain which makes certain individuals want more of the substance."

two brain chemicals,
serotonin and beta-endorphin,
tend to be lower in sugar sensitive individuals.
These two chemicals can influence your mood and energy levels.
They make us feel mellow, content, and even help block pain

similar to the way you feel at the end of a GREAT workout!

withdrawals can lead you to feel emotional, depressed & just out of whack!

Eating sugar increases the release of these brain chemicals,

but the effect this has in a sugar sensitive person can be dramatic. Sugar can make the sugar sensitive person feel giddy, confident, lively, talkative, and other symptoms similar to having too many alcoholic drinks!

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW YOURSELF FOR REAL?

thoughts become more clear
your body will start to function properly
things will start to happen

many issues will probably surface
this is your chance to get to the root of the problem

you can conquer this!

AS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE ONCE SAID TO ME

"GO OUTSIDE
LAY IN THE GRASS
STARE AT THE SKY
AND WAIT FOR THE EARTH TO MOVE"

IF YOU CAN SIT WITH YOURSELF
THE PROCESS HAS BEGUN
BE STILL
LISTEN
& START TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
