As a health and fitness professional for over 35 years, Jane teaches evidence‑based strategies in exercise, healthy eating, and behavior change to help individuals create healthier lifestyles and achieve sustainable, long‑term weight control.

Her Master’s degree in Health Psychology grounds her approach in behavioral theory, with a strong emphasis on exercise adherence, healthy eating, incremental goal progress, and the development of personal regulation skills. She uses personalized, real‑life‑focused strategies that account for goals, emotions, stress, preparedness, and self‑talk to strengthen these skills in everyday situations.

In her early association with Rutgers University, she collaborated with Dr. James Annesi on research examining how group cohesion, self‑efficacy, and mood influence exercise and eating behaviors. Their more recent collaborations explored psychological predictors of controlled eating. Jane also contributed to the longitudinal Women’s Health Initiative and has applied translational behavioral‑medicine approaches across numerous fitness, medical, and health‑promotion centers, including Englewood Health Medical Center and Spectrum for Living. She has presented seminars on weight management, youth development, and ACE‑tailored pre‑certification programs.

Over the course of her career, Jane has guided thousands of individuals in building healthier habits, strengthening their self‑regulation skills, and reaching goals that matter to them.

Her ongoing focus is to provide individuals with the tools, skills, and evidence‑based methods needed to develop and maintain healthier habits that genuinely fit their real lives. Informed by the most current research in behavioral, medical, and exercise science, her approach is personable, practical, and rooted in small, meaningful changes that add up to big results.
