ABOUT GERMANA
If I can turn my life around so can you.
– Germana
I AM JUST LIKE YOU!
You… like me, want the most out of life and of course we all have our fair share of life’s trials and tribulations. Mine have included a challenging childhood, an eating disorder, addiction, being a single mother on welfare, living with chronic back pain, being challenged with low self-esteem and a lack of confidence that resulted in feelings of self-loathing and pain.
If I can turn my life around so can you.
Thankfully, I was gifted with people who gave me support and permission to believe in myself. They gave me the courage to strive for more than mediocrity. I think of these people as earth-bound angels.
I have found great satisfaction in helping others be the best that they can be. I have devoted my life to becoming an expert in the field of health and wellness with a focus on mind, body health, and fitness.
Imagine achieving your personal best… What do you look like? How do you feel in your new body? Notice how this is different from what you’re living now?
Now that you’ve decided to move toward your personal best, start to say YES to yourself and call me.
Yours in health,
Germana

NUTRITIONAL THERAPY – PHILOSOPHY
That the myriad of health problems that plague modern society result from weaknesses in the body’s physiological foundations as a result of poor nutrition. As an education organization, NTA is dedicated to helping individuals and healthcare professionals understand and reverse the tragic and unsuspected effects of the modern diet on their patients and clients. Throughout our training programs and seminars, students access a wide range of education tools and connect nationally with other practitioners in the healing arts.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
