Hi,

 

Thanks for visiting my website.

 

Currently, I am studying Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine at the New England School of Acupuncture.  As you can imagine, I am very busy these days. However, I am never too busy to serve as a helpful resource for anyone looking for guidance with holistic health.

 

Here’s a list of services that I currently provide (or will provide as I get closer to finishing school):

 

      Lifestyle counseling and sales of Metagenics products.

      Holistic Health Counseling

      Special diet support for restrictive diets

       “Whole Foods” cooking classes (check back in 2009)

      Food store shopping tours (check back in 2009)

      Health & Wellness workshops (check back in 2009)

 

If you have any questions, please send me an email at

Midgie@gettingabetterlife.com or give me a call at 617.645.0073

 

About me:

      I am a Certified Holistic Health Counselor, with board certification from the American Association of Drugless Practioners.  I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City in 2003. For more information: Institute for Integrative Nutrition

 

      I am a Lifestyle Educator for Metagenics, Inc.  In 2007, I completed the First Line Therapy program in 2007 and began distributing Metagenics nutritional products.  Metagenics has over 400 formulas for a variety of health concerns affecting each major system in the body, such as detoxification, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, circulatory, immunity, hormone balance, women & men’s health, children’s health and more. They have supplements, shakes, and food bars. For a complete line of health supplements and shakes, please review the Metagenics website.

 

      I completed 3 years of study in Western Herbal Medicine with the Boston School of Herbal Studies in Arlington, MA in 2006. For more information: Boston School of Herbal Studies

 

      In 2002, I earned an MBA from Babson College, where I concentrated in Social Entrepreneurship. Currently, I provide bookkeeping on Quickbooks and Quicken to small entrepreneurs.

 

      I’ve been a student of West African dance & drumming for 10 years. Every few years I like to visit Africa to dance, drum, and learn more about African healing traditions.  For the past few years, I’ve danced in an annual fund raiser for the Build A School in Africa Project.

 

      Other interests: cooking (I follow a gluten-free, lactose-free, and low sugar diet), gardening, hiking, skating, pet sitting, chanting “Nam-Myo-Ho-Ren-Ge-Kyo”, and practicing yoga!  

 

Last note, I hope to get my acupuncture license in just a few years. So, please check back in 2009, as my list of services will expand as I get closer to obtaining my acupuncture license to practice in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

 

Be well!

Midgie
