Having received many hours of required specialized training and certification, your Healthy World Vitality Plan coach will lead you and the other members of your group to identify a personal vision for vitality in your lives. Your coach will then encourage appropriate changes in behavior and thoughts (based upon peer-reviewed science) that will move each of you closer to your vision of “ideal self.” All the while, your coach will also be helping to create a compassionate group experience in which group members ultimately will learn to serve as peer coaches, supporting one another in the behavior changes they each choose to make. Our terrific coaches are all volunteers, committed to sharing the benefits of a healthy, vibrant lifestyle with others.

Cindy Savage is a movement expert, yoga teacher, world traveler, former vegan restaurant owner and author of young adult fiction and textbooks. Cindy first went vegetarian during the 70s when movers and shakers like Adele Davis and Frances Moore Lappe were saving the world by rejecting the animal agriculture status quo. She managed to read those books at 17 and miss the not-so-hidden political message. First, vegetarian because all her friends were doing it, then vegan to stave off hereditary time bombs in her future, to eating the only way we can to save both our own health and the health of all the living, breathing earthlings sharing this beautiful world with us. Including the bacteria and microbes. She loves those little cuties. When the Vitality Plan came along, it was the logical choice to get involved, by helping create the workbook, coaching multiple groups and now working on our next-level online course. With so many interests, it's a good thing she has the energy from her WFPB lifestyle to keep up with herself. |
