Shirley Garrett

My business as a National Board certified Health & Wellness Coach, Culinary Coach, a professional Chef and an A.C.E. certified Medical Exercise Specialist and a certified Mindful Change coach, gives me the opportunity to promote everything related to exercise, healthy eating and cooking, mindful change, outdoor activities that keep us healthy, strong, calm, functional and mobile throughout our life. I love sports & vigorous, fun activities, so I always lean in the direction of being active.

I've also earned a Professional Culinary Arts diploma and present Interactive Healthy Cooking classes via "Fitness & Food Forum" for my Leaps & Bounds Personal Training clients and my health coach clients through Pro-Active Health Coach. We use a beautiful, spacious commercial teaching kitchen in our community and teach people how to plan, shop for and prepare healthy, delicious meals for themselves and their families. We also promote good working relationships between my businesses and the local producers and retailers of fresh, high quality produce and other essential meal ingredients that make eating well a happy reality and not a chore.

I enjoy my online (and sometimes in person) work with Dr. Rani Polak and Jane Barg as a member of the Program Faculty of the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine's CHEF Coaching certificate of completion
