I grew up in New Jersey, where I have lived all my life. I am married and blessed with three amazing children, 2 boys in grammar school and a daughter about to graduate college, who every single day make me proud of the human beings that they’ve become so far. I love spending much of my time and energy focusing on them and trying to be whatever they need.
I am a former Wall Street executive for 22 years; what an amazing journey that was for me! That career, that I will never forget and cherish always, has allowed me to move on to a new and exciting part of my life. In 2008, I decided to leave Wall Street and be a stay-at-home mom, a decision that changed and challenged everything I thought I was and wanted to be! Also, once I was convinced I was done with Wall Street, I knew at some point I would pursue my passion to help people balance their lives through a healthy lifestyle, and hopefully become a role model for so many. I feel so fortunate for the opportunity to be at home raising my kids and beginning the next phase of my life’s journey! I thank God and my blessings every single day!
So, in 2012, I made the decision to formalize my education in Health and Wellness. In September 2015, I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and became a specialized health, fitness, and wellness coach. During my studies I became acquainted with practical lifestyle management techniques, innovative coaching methods, and hundreds of dietary theories, and since, I have become the renowned founder and owner of Wellness by Gale, LLC!

My enthusiasm for nutrition, fitness, healing, and complete wellness didn’t just manifest overnight. This is a passion I’ve had all of my life, ever since I was a kid. I was born for this. As a health and wellness coach, my paramount objective is to bring that physical fitness enthusiasm to each and every individual.
I am compassionate, caring, focused, and committed to helping people concentrate on all aspects of their lives and how these areas go on to affect their health positively. With a desire for nutrition and healing, Wellness by Gale utilizes a holistic approach to health and wellness, creating a distinctive program for every individual aimed at achieving results as well as creating a happier, and healthier you!
P.S. In June 2016, at the age of 49, I competed in an all natural figure competition; won Overall in the Masters Figure category, and was named Natural Pro-Master Figure Competitor!
Despite past efforts made by trendy diets and active wear lines, the physical health issue in our country is still an ongoing issue. Maintaining an optimal physique is not just a surface level issue that depends on good nutrition, but also thrives on a healthy emotional state. Living healthy is a big part of who I am and I have made it my mission to help others achieve and sustain wellness.
In addition to working with adults, I also work with children and adolescents. It is important to set a healthy foundation in their formative years as they are confronted with the internal and external pressures of growing up. Creating a balance between school, family and friends can turn out to be extremely stressful. In the long run, this can cause negative effects on their physical and emotional health, hindering them from reaching their full potential and following their dreams.
With this in mind, I decided to take action. After graduating from the Institute of Integrated Nutrition, I founded Wellness by Gale in October, 2015.
Wellness is a process of “small steps” which requires an individual to make decisions that help promote a better lifestyle. Proper nutrition, regular sleep cycle, adequate physical activity, and supportive relationships are some of the small steps toward a healthier lifestyle.
I take on a larger role than just a mentor. I am an encourager and a companion. I have developed myself into a support system, as someone who my various clients can call and come to at any time. I will always be there to support them.
