I am a published author and a seasoned business, creative and academic writer. My journey with fitness, health and nutrition began after I started my young family (I had twins to raise) and encountered repeated migraines. Today, I am a certified fitness instructor, personal trainer & sports nutritionist through the International Fitness Association, Florida. I am also a certified Holistic Health Therapist through SAC, U.K. I lead-write for many popular health and fitness sites and hold Expert Author status at well-respected online resources. I also pen my own well-received blog on migraines.
My first book 'Migraines For The Informed Woman' is available for preview/purchase on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones U.K, Deastores Italy (ISBN: 978-81-291-1517-1; Rupa & Co. URL http://www.amazon.com/Migraines-Informed-Woman-Tips-Sufferer/dp/8129115174/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1298990756&sr=1-2). I have been battling migraines for over a decade and by this vice alone hold the unique perspective of a sufferer who knows what the fears, questions and frustrations of other patients are. The book has been presented from a unique and positive perspective to address those issues.
My book Mentor Your Mind - Tested Mantras For The Busy Woman (ISBN: 978-81-207-5973-2; Sterling Publishers; URL: http://www.sterlingpublishers.com/search_result.asp) has just been released to the markets.
My upcoming book - An Urban Woman's Integrated Fitness Guide (Publisher: Hay House India) will be releasing by the end of 2011.
I hold a double Masters degree in Commerce and Business Management. Versatility is my motto as I am actively involved in philanthropic activities of the UN recognized Art of Living Foundation. I love to paint oil on canvas and am a passionate poetess and reader. Having travelled and resided in many countries throughout my life, I have picked many languages along the way. I have a fair knowledge of Arabic, Espanol and French, besides English, Hindi and Bengali.
