Luanne Pennesi, RN, MS

Luanne Pennesi, a registered nurse practicing for nearly 30 years in both conventional and integrative medicine, is the new rising star in the field of natural health, sharing information that motivates people to take back their personal power and lead happier more productive lives at ANY age.

Luanne's work has been called the missing link between gathering sometimes confusing, overwhelming and conflicting information about "new age" or "alternative" approaches to health and anti-aging and the practical application of real-time, commonsense, scientifically based information to help you take full control over your health and longevity and often save your own life naturally.

Having had an extensive clinical and administrative background in Adult medicine and Oncology (cancer) nursing, Luanne knows first hand the devastating effects of chronic stress, leading a toxic lifestyle, developing chronic illnesses and enduring the long term, debilitating side effects of many conventional medical therapies. She also has a solid background as a nursing leader, serving as a nurse administrator for 18 years at a major New York City Medical Center as well as the founder and executive director of20one of the fastest growing wellness centers in the Tri-State area.

Luanne: " I believe that the technology and diagnostic wisdom of conventional medicine is essential to utilize, and I also believe that emergency medicine and reconstructive surgeries help people to live longer, more quality lives. What I object to is the arrogance of a system that does not honor time tested, scientifically documented therapies that do not originate from their sacred halls, those that they cannot assert political and fiscal control over. It is time we offered the public alternatives to many standard medical therapies that just plain don't help people to heal. I have witnessed people who have reversed dozens of conditions that conventional medicine has failed miserably at reversing in spite of the millions of dollars of research that go into studies controlled by the very pharmaceutical companies that are selling the drugs to suppress the symptoms that our bodies manifest in order to beg our attention."

Luanne: "Every one of us deserves to be ecstatically happy, optimally healthy and independently wealthy. I was once told that in life pain is inevitable; suffering is an option. What a refreshing wake up call! Each of us is gifted in some way, and we need to be sourcing our lives around manifesting our own individu al potentials and greatness, and living authentic lives- not adapting to someone else's agenda for us and spending way too much time holding on to pain from past life events. I help people to live much more deliberately and I am impressed with how quickly people heal when they are given the right tools to work with."

SuccessTracs Member of the Year Award:
Luanne Pennesi
