ABOUT ME
|
I am one of Dr. Lawrence Wilson's instructors, teaching other practitioners the science of nutritional balancing. My holistic approach focuses on identifying and correcting the underlying causes of your health concerns and restoring your physical, emotional, and sexual energies (spiritual).
Very often, modern medicine only treats the external symptoms. If you have a headache, take aspirin; if you are constipated, take a laxative. Shockingly, even when people experience these same symptoms every day for months or years on end, doctors still don’t think there’s any underlying problem. They may say something like, “You just have finicky digestion,” or “You’re prone to headaches.” It is extremely rare that anyone’s body does not function properly at its core balanced state. When you work with me, we get right to the heart of your nutrition, bringing balance to your body and allowing it to function as it wishes to. In the process, we will work on resolving long-standing health and emotional issues like digestive problems, thyroid problems, stress, fatigue, anxiety, mood swings, sleep issues, blood sugar problems, problems putting on or keeping off weight, inflammatory and immune dysfunction, and even addictions. I am passionate about this work because I was once in your shoes. I spent a lifetime doing everything I could for my own health, only to be stuck with a handful of serious symptoms that would not go away, and doctors who seemed to think that being slightly sick all the time was simply my lot in life. (Read more about my own journey below.) Since becoming educated in holistic nutrition and applying its principles, I have been healthy and happy for the first time in over 50 years. I wish it hadn’t taken me so long to feel this good. And I don’t want anyone else to go through a lifetime of discomfort, pain, or illness when the remedy is not only possible, but really quite simple. Nutritional balancing has changed my life and the lives of my clients, and I believe it can truly help you. |

Josephine Certified Nutritionist
In addition in earning a Certificate in Holistic Nutrition from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and a Certification in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, I was also trained under the mentorship of Dr. Lawrence Wilson in Hair Mineral Analysis and Nutritional Balancing Science and I am one of his instructors, teaching other approved practitioners of Dr. Wilson to administer his program to clients.
I hold a degree in Culinary Arts from the Dubrelle French Culinary School, and I studied raw nutrition with the late Dr. Bernard Jensen, Ann Wigmore, the Queen of Wheat Grass and read many books on Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Ah Oui! En plus je parle le français ~
Warning. Many people now offer “nutritional balancing” who are not authorized and don’t do the programs correctly. Only those listed on Dr. Lawrence Wilson's web page are approved practitioners. If you are not sure, Contact Me for more information.
Part of My Story
From childhood, it never occurred to me to look to my diet for the source of my health problems.
After all, we were an Italian family eating a Mediterranean diet; my mother made pasta and soups and salads from scratch, using ingredients my family and relatives grew in their own garden or that we bought from other families in the sausage-making or grocery business. In the 60’s and 70's, ours was undoubtedly one of the healthiest diets in our entire city of Montreal. Many of my schoolmates were eating canned and packaged foods out of boxes while my mother was up to her elbows in cooking fresh food from scratch.
But while healthier than the packaged foods, my diet was no better than what some of my schoolmates were eating - my diet was not good for me. I was hospitalized at 3 years old for a bacterial infection (gastroenteritis), and given an intravenous drip for dehydration. Through my childhood I had terrible digestive issues, unable to move my bowels, and the only suggestion doctors could offer was to drink more prune juice. When I moved to Southern California, I reveled in year-round fresh vegetables, but I still had to take natural laxatives to counteract my poor digestion.
I went through elimination and long string of diets: Fasting diets, Cleansing diets, Raw Diets and a few more. Nothing quite worked, but did find some relief when I met a woman who practiced Traditional Chinese Medicine. That woman gave me an herb she thought would help. Unwittingly, she changed my life. Within one year, I was miraculously “healed” and as a result, thinking my problem was solved, I went right back to eating some of the same food that got me in trouble in the first place -I had only brought my body back into balance briefly – and then swung it right back out of whack.
To understand what was happening to my body’s biochemistry, I studied to earn my certification as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, and subsequently earned a certificate in Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist. While getting my certificate as an FDN , I was tested for a hair mineral analysis by Trace Elements Inc (TEI). Upon receiving my hair test, it dawned on me that in the mid-nineties, I had my hair tested by Dr. Paul C. Eck, a mineral researcher who spent his life developing the practical application of this science and my Hair Mineral Analysis. The hair test by Analytical Research Labs, Inc. showed back then, as it did with TEI, the true cause of my problems: I had adrenal burnout, was deficient in several important minerals, and had excessive toxic metals in my body, mainly copper.
Suffice to say, I don't offer FDN to my clients because I find that the nutritional balancing protocol is what I need and I can't imagine giving remedies to my clients' knowing what I know. In other words, I am not chasing after remedies anymore, as my goal is to increase my adaptive energy in my body. Without this, no matter what I try or take, it does not work - thus I am in it for the long haul and I'm sticking with it!
My story may not be quite the same as yours, but I am willing to bet that it is similar. The symptoms that won’t go away, that are dismissed as unimportant by doctor and family. The constant remedies and elimination diet changes, hoping to find a solution. The pain and the uncertainty.
I want to use my hard-won 35 years of wisdom to bring your health – physical, mental, and spiritual – back into alignment. Seek the truth, and you will be set free for the first time in your life.
