This site was born out of my interest in what fuels our life and feeds our mind, body and spirit. The Mindful Belly and Balanced Body really began when I was first studying Pilates and Yoga over 10 years ago. Even though I had been dancing since the age of 6, I felt stronger that ever from these rigorous yet forgiving practices. As my physical practice got stronger my spiritual practice subsequently became important. I found myself on a path investigating all that opened up my mind, questioning old habits and discovering new possibilities in my diet, physicality, intellectual studies, meditations, adventure, and positive relationships.
Two years after building this site I have become Culinary Director for the Blum Center for Health, founded by Functional Medicine specialist Dr. Susan Blum. http://www.blumcenterforhealth.com. I joined Dr. Blum because of her intelligent, personalized and holistic model of medicine. Our center is the definition of integrated health because along with the medical care you receive you have access to learn about self-care through our cooking classes, meditation classes and other health seminars. My dream has come true to work in such an open-minded community of established practitioners where we get to see our clients stepping into greater health, which translates into a better life.
Enjoy my site. If you have any questions please email me at marti@blumcenterforhealth.com
In good health,
Marti
