I graduated in 1992 from the University of Michigan where I majored in Economics while I was also pre-med. I was accepted into medical school, but decided to forgo medical school (I thought only temporarily) and help my brother in a business he had just started. In 10 years we grew our event entertainment company from approximately a half million dollars to $10 million in sales. I was successful in ways I thought would make me happy, but the way I was feeling was telling me differently. I seized an opportunity to sell my stake in the company and began my journey of personal healing and understanding optimal health and happiness.
I spent the next seven years reflecting on my past experiences, practicing and studying yoga, meditation, nutrition and other wellness modalities. I became certified as a Yoga instructor, Nutritional Consultant and Wellness Counselor. I successfully healed myself through dietary and lifestyle changes from chronic Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Skin Rashes, Back Pain and persistent Low energy and Fatigue. My life has been completely transformed and I can honestly say I am now truly happy. Today as a Wellness Counselor, I am able to share what I learned over the last seven years to support, educate and inspire you to develop a deeper awareness so you make choices that have you living with clarity, passion, health and purpose.
I graduated from the Global Institute for Alternative Medicine in 2004. In 2005 I graduated from the Institute for integrative Nutrition which is a program certified by Columbia University. While there I studied with many experts in the field ranging from Andrew Weil, Deepak Chopra and David Wolfe (Raw Food Guru) to Walter Willet the head of Nutrition for Harvard.
I truly meet my clients wherever they are in their own journey and provide them with the necessary means to be able to forge their own path. I help them to become aware of the choices they make in all aspects of their life and give them the tools they need to live to their fullest potential. Some of the changes my clients have experienced in just a short time include increased energy and vitality, better time management skills, improved relationships, more enjoyment, creativity and efficiency in their chosen career, and more spiritual awareness. Many clients have said they are the happiest and healthiest they have ever been.
Eating disorders are a great mystery to medical and psychological professionals, and most importantly, to the victims who cannot explain their actions. With his new and innovative approach to holistic nutrition, Jared Koch was the angel who entered my life, mended, my wing, and helped me to fly again. Rather than focusing on what was wrong, Jared helped me find the path to what is right through nutritional education, exercises and active participation. His program is well structured and compassionate that takes people on a journey, helping them travel beyond their weakness to a more valued path of life. Read more
