The Institute for Integrative Nutrition

It’s official – I am enrolled at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition!

When I say I’m going to do something I do it! The first time I said I was going to do this was on New Year’s Eve, 2010. Fast-forward 7 months, and I am all enrolled. The program starts September 12, 2011!

Why?

People go to The Institute for Integrative Nutrition for many different reasons. I am going for personal growth, to create more “solutions, not problems,” and then of course to help and share it all with the people who come here or come to me personally for questions, solutions and and answers. I want the knowledge to share, and I want more credible knowledge to pass along.

Will I Still Work?

Absolutely! The program is a virtual one, on my own time. And plus, there is a reason I am a “digitally addicted country girl with a (gluten-free) foodie-fitness flare.” The first part is my professional life; the second my personal life. I have passion for both. I love what I do. I love my clients. And mostly I love Singley + Mackie. Studying on my own time at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition just means a little less intensity with working out 2 hours a day, but that’s okay because my overall focus is shifting! (Ah…..so much more to come!!!!!)
