Dads are also welcome at the six-week series focused on ‘simple steps for creating health in your family.’

By Ronni Newton

West Hartford resident Ayelet Connell-Giammatteo is a working mom with two children of her own, and knows firsthand the challenges of making sure that her family eats healthy food, and understands why it’s important to make those choices.

Connell-Giammatteo is the president and owner of the holistic wellness center Integrative Wellness & Physical Therapy, which has its offices in in Bloomfield. She and nutritionist Holly Niles will host a six-week “Healthy Eating Boot Camp” to provide participants with “simple, easy, and practical tools” for improving their families’ eating habits. And because she knows that everyone is on a busy schedule, participants don’t even have to leave their homes or offices to attend the sessions.

The Healthy Eating Book Camp begins on March 26, 2016, and will offer weekly emails and short instructional videos as well as chat sessions. The course can be taken from home, the office, or anywhere you like, and the schedule is completely flexible as well.

According to Connell-Giammatteo, the program will also provide participants with “simple, easy and practical recipes, shopping lists, meal, and snack suggestions” as well as other resources.

Connell-Giammatteo is a physical therapist and has also practiced as a certified integrative manual therapist (IMT) for more than 15 years. At Integrative Wellness & Physical Therapy, she and her team use physical therapy and IMT, along with comprehensive nutritional wellness to “find and treat the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction.”

Connell-Giammatteo said that she and Niles often work with families and children. Their goal for the boot camp is to provide caregivers with the resources to make living healthier a simpler process.
