Holistic Care, Gina T.

A fitness trainer, I’ve worked with Dr. Rachel Smartt for 7 years. She is one of the most caring individuals I have ever met.  As an educator and renowned speaker, Dr. Smartt approaches nutrition and lifestyle practices from both holistic and scientific perspectives. She helps people throughout the country make positive shifts in their health through changes in their eating and lifestyle habits.

Her spiritual side is impressive. Dr. Smartt believes, teaches and lives the mind, body, spirit connection. She says that we must care for the emotional and the spiritual well-being. If any one aspect is out of balance, we are setting ourselves up for illness. Dr. Smartt is gifted, but always gives credit to God for her talents and abilities.
