As you may have guessed, eating healthy, getting fit and losing weight take up a large percentage of all New Year’s Resolutions.  However, only a small percentage of people actually keep or achieve their resolutions.

For some of us, eating healthy and getting in shape is more of a hassle than anything else.  It might be hard juggling a full time job, possibly being a full time parent, or just keeping your mind on track with all the other tasks you do during the day.  Throw “eating healthy” and “losing weight” in there, and some of us become a major train wreck as we try to fit it in with all of our other routine activities.

But there is hope for us all, and the exciting news is….it’s easy!

You may have read about Petra Mercier in a previous PV blog post.  Petra owns Nutritional Wisdom in Warrenton, VA.  She offers health & nutrition counseling, cooking classes, dietary cleanses, personal chef services, and traditional Thai Massage.

However, Petra isn’t simply just a Health Counselor or Massage Practitioner — I have experienced first hand how gentle and supportive she is when it comes to you and your way of wanting to get fit and eat healthy!  Each person is different and has different obstacles —  no matter what they may be, Petra is willing and able to help.

Nutritional Wisdom will be having it’s first 2011 Healthy Food 5 Day Cleanse starting January 17th – January 21st. Forget juice fasts and counting calories — Petra’s Food Cleanse will give your digestive system a break from eating heavy and processed foods and change your outlook on the way you eat.  Petra prepares all of the food herself — you will simply just need to pick it up daily or by daily.  Another plus…little to no cooking on your part for 5 days!  During the cleanse, you’ll also enjoy the benefits of sleeping better, having more energy, mental clarity, shedding some extra pounds and less inflammation.  This cleanse is not a fast, but a 100% fresh, local and organic (when possible) food based cleanse program with plenty of delicious food to enjoy.

There are several options as to which ‘cleanse’ you would prefer to do. Some include Traditional Thai Yoga Massage during your cleanse, 5 days of meals, or 5 days of 3 meals and snacks.  There is also an option for a private 6 day cleanse.  For more information on each cleanse option and for prices, please visit Petra’s/Nutritional Wisdom’s website at www.petramercier.com .
