Of course as parents, you want the best for your family and want your child to be healthy. The Healthy Bodies for Life program is here to support you! Start today – help your child develop smart living habits and achieve a healthy weight for life.

There are 2 components to the Healthy Bodies for Life program: a 6 week class or one on one consultation with Martha Gooldy Garcia, RD.
