About Project Ladybug:
The Ladybug Fund at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital is a new initiative to provide an important resource to seriously ill pediatric patients and their families as they face lengthy treatment regimens.
On a highly personal, one-on-one basis, members of Project Ladybug, in conjunction with clinical, social workers and child life staff at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital, will identify patients with acute needs in order to improve their physical and mental well being. The Fund will also strive to help families face the financial and emotional hardships during their child’s treatment.
Project Ladybug will provide assistance to the patient and his/her family that is rarely given by other local and national organizations. The Fund will give preference to seriously ill young children who are being treated for cancer or other life-threatening childhood diseases. By providing ancillary services and support to the most needy patients at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital, the Ladybug Fund will help to meet the needs of seriously ill and less fortunate patients in our region.
Through improving quality of life for these children and their families during treatment, Project Ladybug hopes to improve outcomes for these patients.

Counseling + Hypnosis = Success. Numerous research studies have shown that adding hypnosis to a weight reduction program (a program that addresses such issues as diet and exercise) significantly increases the chances for success. Hypnosis can help you achieve your goals by replacing “bad habits” with healthy behaviors and changing negative thoughts into positive self-talk. Hypnosis is a very relaxing process that may assist you in re-programming old attitudes and beliefs about eating, and replacing them with new, beneficial ones that promote good eating behaviors and healthy long-term patterns of exercise and food intake. The positive suggestions received during hypnosis become a part of those messages in the back of your mind that nudge you towards new, more effective behaviors, and thus help to change old habits more quickly and easily. Mental imagery is another important aspect of hypnosis. During hypnosis for weight reduction, you will create an image of yourself at your perfect weight, looking the way you want to look -- slimmer, stronger, healthier, and more attractive -- weighing the weight you know is healthy for you. You might even imagine the positive comments of your friends or co-workers. Studies show that the more real your inner experience, the more likely the final results will match your mental images. Positive affirmations in hypnosis will help you to increase self-confidence, build an identity of yourself as a success, and assist you in tapping into your innate ability to create a happy, healthy, successful and fulfilling life. By increasing your self-esteem, this type of positive programming can help you succeed in attaining your weight reduction goals.
Often, success comes easily, and changes may occur with far less effort than you had imagined!

I am a licensed professional counselor and a certified clinical hypnosis practitioner. I have been counseling people since 1992, and for nearly a decade I have been assisting people with weight reduction using a combination of counseling and hypnosis.
Several studies have shown that hypnosis is a useful tool to assist with weight reduction. In fact, numerous studies have been conducted to research the benefits of adding hypnosis to counseling, cognitive-behavioral treatments, or other integrated programs for weight reduction. These studies have consistently shown that the addition of hypnosis to a weight reduction program (a program that addresses such issues as diet and exercise) significantly increases the chances for success. In other words, counseling + hypnosis = success.

Everyday people try a new way to diet, to lose the weight. They will try pills, diet programs, exercise classes, tea’s, everything to become slimmer, fitter and healthier. Maybe you have lost the weight only to find that within a few months all the weight has returned if not more. Here’s the reason why.
The problem with all these programs is that they don’t change the picture in your subconscious mind, showing you eating better foods, exercising, having a new life style so you can be slimmer, fitter and healthier forever. You have to change the way you picture yourself with your new habits now and in the future. What happens with most people is that once they achieve their goal, they go back to all the unhealthy habits they had in the past. That piece of food is only going to make you feel better for a moment; than the guilt comes in for eating and the weight comes on because you believe you will gain the weight from eating the junk food. It becomes a vicious cycle, however with Hypnosis you can stop the up’s and down’s and enjoy a new life.
The program is geared to helping you help yourself with better eating habits, exercising more, handling stress without eating or drinking, seeing yourself in the future being slim and fit. When I work with my clients I use more than one modality to help them achieve their goals because not everyone learns the same way all the time. You need to be able to have the ability to handle your changes with more than one tool and that is what I will help you with. You and I work together to help you get rid of the old habits by filling your mind with new achievable habits which are reinforced with a personalized CD after each session.
The results are fabulous! If you are ready to change your life and your body, give me a call to set up an appointment. You’ll be very happy you did!

I have been a Registered Dietitian for 22 years, and for the past 1 1/5 years have been teaching a program called "Transitions Lifestyle System." The program was developed by an RD/PhD and combines years of scientific research into what I believe is truly the best weight loss system. The program focuses on low glycemic eating, and education. The clients are able to burn body fat. lose inches. decrease cholesterol and blood pressure levels, while maintaining their lean muscle mass. It is very easy to follow and no one feels deprived or hungry. I also have a personal chef come in as well as a personal trainer.
At the end of the 12 week program, clients are then able to continue losing weight until they reach their goal and never have to "diet" again. This is a lifestyle rather than a diet, and I have seen UNBELIEVABLE success over and over again.
We are currently holding classes in Branchburg, Bedminster, Warren, Piscataway, and Long Beach Island.

Great by 38 is a way out of the morass that is so common for women and men in their 20's and 30's. With Great by 38, I have crafted a two-part process that helps make sense of the issues, and works to resolve the conflict, especially as it relates to weight loss. As a personal life specialist, I will use the Great by 38 process to help you live the life of your dreams and acheive your ideal weight.
Part One- Greatness The first part of the Great By 38 system involves getting clear about what greatness means to you. Many men and women in their 20's and 30's have general ideas about what they want to acomplish, especially in terms of weight loss. But in order to leverage the universe to bend to your desires, you must be clear about the exact contours of your own, personal greatness. For example, some clients are merely "interested" in losing weight. They do whatever they need to, but only if it's convenient for them. However, the key to accomplishing anything in life lies with the concept of "commitment." One must be committed to changing his or her life. The only way to do that is to understand the motive behind losing weight. Once we can craft an energized reason or motive for weight loss, it becomes much easier to fight through the hard times and remember why you decided to start the weight loss journey. Another part of greatness deals with visualizing and surrounding the mind with positive images of your future self. When you can get clear about how great you'll look and feel, then the pounds will just melt away. Losing weight will be relatively effortless.
Part Two- Construction and Implementation The second part of the Great by 38 process is where we create plans to help you achieve the greatness you so deserve. In Part Two, you will set realistic goals. I might encourage you to push yourself to test your limits, and you might even feel yourself leaving your comfort zone. But the results will speak for themselves as your universe expands and your countenance radiates. Plans relating to weight-loss are individualized, and they are focused on what you can realistically achieve. But when the goals are real, and the commitment is there, true happiness and weight-loss will be just around the corner. You have the power inside of you to be Great by 38. Contact me to learn more.

As a certified wellness coach, I offer a comprehensive lifestyle program to help my clients achieve their weight loss goals by making a healthy lifestyle a high priority in their lives. My program starts with coaching the client around a strong health and wellness vision for their lives. This connection with health and vision "their why" will be the force that keeps them going when obstacles come up. We then discuss a lifelong healthy way of eating based on low glycemic index eating. Then we focus on behavior modification by utilizing a journal. Physical activity and stress reduction are also key parts of what makes this system so successful.

I've been a dedicated martial artist, instructor and personal coach for over 15 years. In 2009, I was inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame and named Chinese Martial Arts Master of the Year. I also have the honor of being nominated to be inducted again in 2010.
What's unique about what I do is I train the mind as well as the body. I use martial arts as a vehicle for achieving physical and mental goals and help my students do the same through seminars, workshops, group and private lessons.
My strengths are inspiring and motivating people. My coaching is results oriented and requires action. Since motion creates emotion I find it effective for my clients to work on areas of their lives while building their bodies and minds through martial arts and fitness training.
Not only is martial arts an excellent physical workout, it also develops the discipline and focus to follow through and achieve your goals. The importance of mental training comes out when there is a breakdown in commitment and you revert back to your "old self" (old habits such as excessive eating, skipping workouts, and other self destructive behaviors). Old habits die hard. They don't want to be replaced and if you're not trained to recognize them, they will creep up and take over without you noticing. Through private and semi-private instruction, I will not only teach you how to set and achieve your fitness goals, but I will train you in recognizing old habits quickly and empower you with a choice so you can avoid self sabotage.
This empowerment will give you the freedom to make deliberate choices and take you off automatic pilot. Thus giving you the power for everlasting change, not just a quick fix. Come Visit me at: www.russellrosado.com
