WHY HIRE ME AS YOUR COACH:

Unlike most chefs and coaches, I don't just focus on food - I help you become the chef of your own life and cook up much more than what you eat!

I want you to have it all - health, love, joy and yummy food!

Combining my Bachelor's degree from Parsons School of Design, Master's degree from American University, Holistic Health Coach Board Certification with Culinary Diploma, I created a unique program to transform your life from A to Z!

I’ve had so many different lives in these 43 years that I have accumulated a lot of experience to relate to you, understand your struggles, inspire you to be confident in your ability to have the life you desire and help you break free of expectations.

Here are some fun facts to show you that if I can do it, so can you:

---

FOod & DIets

I am a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach, Detox Specialist and Chef w.ith more that 13 years of experience.

I started on this path because I didn't like cooking but needed simple, healthy and tasty solutions.

I know what it’s like to be overweight and not happy and I know what it’s like to be underweight and still not be happy.

I used to wake up thinking about food and now sometimes I forget to eat and have to throw out chocolate because I forgot to eat it and expired!

I've struggled with food and was not be able to control myself when it came to certain foods.

I used to dislike yourself and now fully love yourself.

I know what it’s like to be scared to eat alone at a restaurant or go to a movie and I know what it’s like to fully love the experience of traveling with yourself and enjoying your own company

PLAYING THROUGH HIGHS AND LOWS

:I came to America alone at fifteen to follow my dreams.

I lived a life when we were multi millionaires (9-figure net-worth) and yet I left it all to pursue my dreams

I've been without home and was so poor McDonald’s was too expensive.

I know what it’s like:

• To be an executive in a big company and not be fully fulfilled in your soul
  
• To leave a comfortable job and follow the calling of your soul
  
• To move 31 times in 43 years
  
• To not know your path but feel your soul yearning for something
  
• To be lost and to be found - by yourself
  
• To be almost deported from a country because of visa expiration and then work so hard to get it renewed and extended, even when hope was running out and chances were low
  
• To be told NO to many times over and not lose enthusiasm moving forward
  
• ​To be told you will never succeed in class because English is not your first language and I know what it’s like to win first place at Parsons School of Design for the thesis I wrote in that class.

relationships and dating

I have a Masters Degree in Communication.

​I know what it’s like to be married, to be divorced, to be dating, to be in a same-sex relationship, to be in a heterosexual relationship and to be confused in dating approaches.

I understand how hard it can be to trust your feminine power and lead life from that side of you.

I know how amazing it feels to be authentically in love with yourself and have inner peace.

I have worked on myself so much that I got so happy, I didn't even need anyone else and that's when I met you perfect person (not perfect in general, but perfect for you 😉)

I KNOW I CAN HELP YOU FIND YOU JOY IN AN eAZy WAY:
It is truly my passion to cause transformation and peace for you when you don’t  see the road ahead!

IN CLIENTS' WORDS...

PEOPLE MAGAZINE REVIEW I loved it and would tell anyone to try it: It’s the perfect way to reset after chowing down on carb-filled everything. Plus, my stomach looked way flatter than usual when I was finished (score!) and my skin has been looking rather glow-y if I do say so myself.

Well I am home from my FABULOUS Alaska cruise. I focused on eating healthy while indulging myself when I wanted to. There were many choices which really made it easy. (I maintained my weight) One morning they served a Spinach Tofu soup for breakfast. Yeah GREENS!! Didn't have a lot of choices for DARK greens, but managed and ate lots of fruits and vegetables.

From this quality nutrition, I lost 50 lbs and my energy level has skyrocketed. Finally, my body was in line with my desire to take on the world. My job requires me to travel and write and to stay in hotels and speak to doctors, patients, medical and business professionals and more. This newfound energy has not only helped me tackle multiple projects, but it has made me conscious of what I put in my body.

After knowing, working and observing Alina there is one comment that goes without saying….She is the consummate professional. Alina offers her undeniable knowledge about living foods in a way that engages you from the start. Alina is serious about the importance of nutrition and how to achieve optimum results using food as the medium for curative measures, which is why her presentations are so unique and inspiring….she takes the burden of learning off of the participant and infuses her workshops and classes with fun so you don’t even recognize how much you are learning. Alina is simply at the top of her game, and it is so refreshing to work with and know someone that is passionately walking her talk.

Lila and I want to thank Alina Z for her wonderful vegan cooking demonstrations. We were privileged to participate in her cooking classes at both the Boca Resort and at Whole Foods. The food she prepared was delicious. More importantly we walked away with the ability to duplicate Alina’s recipes in our home. Since we turned vegan several years ago, we have attended numerous cooking classes here in Florida and in other venues. Noone does it better than Alina.

During my session with Alina I had a full flare of my Crohn's, and together we were able to calm the flare with foods that supported my medication and advice from my doctor. ​In our discussions we went way deeper than just nutrition, tapping into why my body was upset and not following the direction of my mind. About two-thirds of the way thru the session my body and mind finally felt into sync. She has taught me to rethink why I ate, what I eat and how to eat, and most importantly to listen to my body and what it is telling me. Nutrition is more than just nutrients and calories - it is giving your body what it TRUELY needs when it needs it - something Alina has taught me.

I first met Alina about 8 years ago… i had by pass surgery and could not get my Cholesterol to a safe level, so i decided to become a vegan… my wife and I had no idea how to shop and prepare vegan food, i searched out vegan chefs and found Alina… She was truly amazing and gave us a path to how to shop for and prepare vegan meals at home… ​To this day my wife still uses many of Alina‘s recipes y main meals, deserts and snacks… my cholesterol went from 200 to 125 with no medication… I am forever grateful to this talented wonderful woman!!!

Not only can Alina create nutritious and delicious meals, snacks, and juices she can guide you to a clearer more cognizant mind! It isn't a typical "therapy" session with Alina. It's a discussion with an old friend! If you don't believe me.. check out her blog! She takes any situation you present to her and puts it in terms you can relate to.

​Not only did Alina cook for me but she cooked WITH me so I could actually learn her strategies and understand food and my relationship with food on a much deeper level. Alina changed my life through food and I am so grateful to her for setting me up for nutritional success and a life full of energy and vitality.

Her passion for health and vitality will be known to you within 3 minutes of being in her presence...and all of a sudden you just feel inspired to "Let Yourself Blossom!" Alina is one of those that are truly helping the world be a better place. I am honored to know her - she most definitely is RAWkin' with PURE ENERGY!!!

The moment I met Alina I knew she was a very special person. She is filled with such a huge array of talent, knowledge and passion. I learn something new every time I work with her. Our customers really respond to her method of teaching and look forward to her classes each month. Each of her classes has been full with a wait list within the first few days of registration. She is such a pleasure to work with, as well as inspiring. I look forward to hosting more events with her in the future.

Alina your weekend class was awesome, loved all of your “Z” Tips. The recipes where great, the food all tasted delicious I love how we can always change or “fix” a recipe. You are one of my favorite raw Food teachers, enjoy spending time with you always. Thanks again for making me a part of such a wonderful experience
