My Story

 

Welcome to Living With E.N.V.Y.!  My name is Peggy and I am very excited to share my passion for healthy eating, an active lifestyle and pure products with you.  I’ve learned a lot in my 50+ years about the power and the necessity to create your own best self – both your health AND your happiness depends on it.  Living with ENVY… or living day-to-day, both simply and purposefully, with vitality and clarity will create life-long changes in your body and your mind.

 

I grew up the middle child, between my two beloved sisters.  Both an athlete and a dancer through my college years, have always understood the circular connection between physical movement and feeling empowered.  My mood always improved, my mind always became clear through exercise and movement.  I chose to become vegetarian in my teens, initially because of my love of animals, but I noticed that this dietary shift caused profound changes for me.  It improved my energy, my ability to concentrate and helped me to decrease my body fat.  This in turn made me a better athlete and dancer, which in turn made me happier and more motivated to maintain this lifestyle through a ‘clean’ diet.   

 

Credentials

 

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Dance in addition to a Master’s degree in Fitness Management and Exercise Physiology.  I have worked in the fitness and wellness industries for over 30 years – from corporate health to private gyms and studios, to managing my own studio.  I taught Hi Impact Aerobics, Step and Kickboxing back in the 90’s… and today I hold current instructor certifications in Pilates, Vinyasa Yoga, Pure Barre and the Lagree Method.

 

As a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a Certified Health Counselor, I’ve learned to always consider the ‘whole’ person, inside and out, when making dietary – or any health, fitness or product recommendations.  What I have come to discover first for myself and now with my clients is that through an integrated approach of eating, active living and mindfulness, one component literally fuels the others and life just gets better and better…one beautiful self-perpetuating cycle! 

 

THIS is the premise for Living With E.N.V.Y.
