Who are we?
Jessica LaBarbera and Alexandra Bricker are certified Holistic Health Counselors who share a passion for helping others take better care of themselves through wholesome diet and greater life balance. In the summer of 2009, we decided to join forces to create unique workshops for the busy women of New York City. Designed to break down the basics of nutrition know-how, each course provides simple, practical solutions for maintaining healthy and balanced lifestyles.
Best yet, it’s personal. Small class sizes ensure that you have your unique concerns addressed. Plus, both Manhattanites come from demanding corporate backgrounds and understand the realities of managing work and play in the city. The advice we offer on health and wellness comes directly from our own experience! Our holistic approach ensures that you’ll find tips on living a more balanced life tied in with each course topic.
Jess and Alexi are both graduates of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. IIN is the only nutrition school that integrates all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods. Both are practicing Counselors in the New York area and life members of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.
Jess has spent the last six years in NYC. She finds pleasure in running, cooking, practicing yoga and traveling the globe. For more on Jess, check out her site, jessicalabarbera.com.
Alexi, who hails from California, enjoys travel, painting, and organic dark chocolate (but she mostly just has time for the chocolate). For more on Alexi, check out her blog: thewholenut.com.
