Health Education Seminars
Encourage your employees to adopt a healthier lifestyle by offering a health promotion seminar at your worksite. Popular topics include:

  • Healthy Eating For Busy People
  • Why Can't I Lose Weight?
  • 5 Keys to Successful Aging
  • Fueling your Body for Optimal Performance
  • The Benefits of Stregth Training

Individualized Lifestyle Counseling
Is your hectic schedule making healthy eating next to impossible? Do you have great intentions, but never seem to find the time to exercise? Could an individualized nutrition plan be the missing piece from your weight loss or training program? Individualized lifestyle counseling sessions are designed to help you tackle your nutrition and exercise challenges and achieve a healthier lifestyle.

Computerized Menu Analysis
Does your restaurant or food company really offer low-fat, healthy meals or products? A computerized recipe analysis will give you the nutrition information you need - the calorie, fat, cholesterol, sodium, and nutrient content of your most popular menu items. Heather can also work with you to modify your recipes so they meet the "heart-healthy" guidelines your clients are requesting.

Program Development & Design
Heather has over 20 years of experience designing and managing corporate health promotion programs. She now works as a consultant, developing integrated health and wellness programs for companies working to target risk factor reduction and health care cost-containment.
