Brett’s vision for Sheer Balance started when she realized that many of her friends and colleagues constantly struggled with finding balance in their every day hectic lives. They often didn’t have the time to dedicate to cooking and eating healthy, exercising, or taking time out for themselves. Further, she realized that many of these women were frustrated by the overwhelming amount of information that was contradicting, unclear and misleading when it came to healthy living. As a result, Brett saw a need to provide women with the right tools and information to make living healthy easy and fun. To do so, Brett combined her 12+ year background in management consulting, where she led training strategy and development projects for Fortune 100 companies, and her passion for wellness, to ultimately start Sheer Balance.

Brett has been in the wellness industry for over 15 years. Her passion for health and wellness began at the age of 17 as a freshman at Cornell University, where she quickly realized that exercise and good nutrition were vital to releasing stress and maintaining balance. Brett became certified as a group fitness instructor through AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America), and went on to teach for Cornell University, Gold’s Gym and Bally’s Total Fitness in New York. She taught all types of fitness classes and especially enjoyed helping her students understand fundamentals of nutrition, fitness and overall wellness.

Today, Brett consults to the lifestyle, spa and wellness industry in areas of strategic planning, brand strategy, experiential design and concept development.  Brett regularly speaks to the spa, wellness and hospitality industries, as well as to consumers on topics of health and wellness.  Brett writes for several online media companies, and has been featured on popular sites including: Yahoo!, Shine from Yahoo!, Divine Caroline, Intent and Gather.  In 2008, Shine from Yahoo! named Brett “Woman of the Year” for her influential blogging and in 2009, Divine Caroline awarded Sheer Balance with their “Love this Site!” award within the Body and Soul Category.

Brett received her Bachelors and MBA from Cornell University.
