As your Health Coach, I will listen carefully, and we’ll navigate the world of contradictory nutrition and health advice together to explore what works for you.

In Addition to Our Commitment Towards Excellence Our Advantages

I started my journey in Health and Wellness during my High School Years. I attended Father Henry Carr Secondary School in Etobicoke, Ontario; Canada. As I approached my university years. I decided to concentrate on studying Nutrition. My Father had been diagnosed with Diabetes at that time. I wanted to give him honor by entering a profession to help him in managing this disease. I was accepted by University of Toronto. I then completed a Bachelor of Science, 4yr, Specialist in Nutrition. I later completed a Masters’ Degree online with Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts And I am currently completing a Certified Program, as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach from NY NY.

I too experienced health issues which included, lactose intolerance and sensitivity to spicy foods and sauces, for which health education has aided me.

In addition, other members of my Family, including, My Mother was diagnosed with heart disease, my late Brother had been diagnosed with Stroke, & Diabetes and my other brother has been managing his Diabetes as well as attempting to follow a weight reduction regimen.

In terms of work experiences, I worked as a Dietary Manager and as a Food Supervisor in two Senior Homes for the Aged, as well as working in a Hospital setting as a Dietary Aide. I have had 8 years work experience in the health field. Unfortunately, due to cutbacks from the government, I then worked in various marketing and sales positions; my last role as a Customer Service Agent for BMO Bank of Montreal, as a Collector for close to 15 years. I am returning to the health field and hope to make a difference in the community across various life stages.

Along my Journey, I really appreciate the Support I have received throughout my Life from Friends, Co-Workers & Family Members especially My Late Parents; Giacomo R. DeFrancesca, Franca DeFrancesca, My Late Brother; Rocco DeFrancesca, My other Brother; Claudio DeFrancesca, his wife; Analyn DeFrancesca, My nephew; Roman DeFrancesca, My niece; Ariana DeFrancesca; my extended Family, including my husband; Marcello Segreti, and our Neighbors at Frost Street, for which I grew up over 50 Years. Especially, Rodney Sintes, Domenic Falvo and Teresa Colosimo who have been very close to our family over the years.
