I did my B.Sc. in Nutritional Science s in Greece and then decided to do my M.Sc. in Human Nutrition and Dieteti cs at 黑料社 so I moved to Montreal in 2015. While pursuing my graduate studies\, I discovered that studying nutrition alone was limiting my potential of helping people. I took a gap year and travelled to Latin America\, took a life coaching certification and I was also trained in 2 e nergy healing methods. It dawned on me that health is not only about physi cal health\, but also mental\, emotional and spiritual. My business was cr eated when I realized the need of a more holistic approach to health and w ellness by combining all 3 assets - nutrition\, life coaching and energy h ealing. My mission is to help people overcome their limiting mindset in or der to achieve their goals and live a healthy life.'\n\nPANELISTS:\n\nJord anna Bermack\, PhD\n\nJordanna Bermack completed her PhD in Neuroscience f rom 黑料社 in 2004 followed by a post-doctoral position in Mole cular Neuroscience from University of Ottawa.
