Here is a little personal history: Sheri is one of those "fortunate folks" who knew from childhood what she wanted to do ... help people stay well. Her passion for exercise and healthy eating took a not-so-healthy turn at a young age. "I went on my first diet to lose two pounds at nine years of age." Dieting and disordered eating led to symptoms of anorexia by middle school. "I enjoyed exercise and how it gave me energy and made me feel strong. But because I worried about my weight, I would constantly count calories and fret about food. In my mid-twenties I read the books Breaking Out of Food Jail and Diets Don't Work. These books began a journey of learning about normal eating, while staying aware of the good nutrition information I had acquired in my college courses." Her personal understanding of food struggles allows Sheri to help people who want to stop yo-yo dieting and learn to eat intuitively and healthy. These concepts are related as eating intuitively includes listening to the "health signals" from your body. "I have always loved exercise and how it gives you energy and health to do everything else you want to do in life. Whether hiking, running on the beach, weight training, or stretching, I enjoy moving. But, I understand folks who don't have that inclination. It is fun for me to help people find a style of movement that fits their lifestyle, from taking the stairs to training for races." "Vireo is Latin for 'thrive' and 'flourish.' I am fulfilled and blessed to live my childhood dream ... to help people live a 'ViREO Life.'"
