Cheryl Giambattista on detoxifying your beauty products
“Clean beauty” is gaining in popularity… but what does it really mean?
I met Cheryl Giambattista recently at Cathy Sykora’s health coaching conference where I was speaking. I fell in love with her positive energy, emotional life story, heavy Canadian accent (!) and her knowledge around reducing your toxic load by making simple swaps with your food and beauty products to love your body and skin from the outside in!
Cheryl’s journey into holistic health began after her son was diagnosed with Leukemia at age 4. As devastating as that experience was, Cheryl saw first-hand the difference good nutrition and lowering your toxic load makes for good health. (Don’t worry – he’s now 30+, married, with a young son and – get this! – he’s an oncologist in Canada!)
As a Certified Holistic Nutrition Health Coach and Clean Beauty Advocate, with more than 10 years experience in health coaching, plus 2 Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Education, Cheryl is the Founder of her “Health Coach Cheryl” business and the “Simple Swaps to Slim Down Program” which helps you achieve your healthiest and leanest body you’ve ever had.
Cheryl helps women and families make the swap to clean beauty to live cleaner, healthier and happier lives.
