Nancy Princetta

Nancy Princetta graduated from the world-renowned CUNY Baccalaureate Program in New York City, Nancy discovered her passion for health and nutrition, graduating from CUNY with a B.S. in Health Sciences, with an emphasis on special needs populations, and a minor in art.

For the past 25 years, Nancy has had great success in implementing her work in chiropractic and medical offices, healing centers, and as the owner of Inner Fitness. A lifelong student of nutrition, special education and psychology as well as an artist and healer, Nancy brings a unique blend of consciousness and practical tools to her clients by interweaving her scientific, educational and artistic backgrounds into her practice.

Her desire to help others, together with her special education background, has led Nancy to explore working with children and their families who are experiencing challenges with their educational needs, health and family dynamics. Nancy provides support through counseling, behavioral modification tools and art techniques to her clients and their families. She has also published a one-of-a-kind graphic chart designed to facilitate stress reduction and mental focus for individuals and families.

As program director at two of the top special focus health schools in San Diego, Nancy created and taught several year-long nutritional programs. She has also facilitated numerous workshops and retreats throughout California and the southern United States. These offerings often focus on children and their special needs. They include an array of body-based exercises as well as visualization practices and art therapy that restore balance to the body, mind and emotions.

She is an active volunteer for the Children’s’ Art Program at the LUX Institute in Encinitas. In 2008-2009 she was a core group volunteer at the start-up Pegasus Rising Project, serving on its advisory board for their therapeutic horse interaction program for children with special needs.

Presently, Nancy has been honored with an Artist’s Outreach Grant through the Kennth A. Picerne Foundation for the 2011-12 school year. She has created a cutting edge after-school art program for students with special needs in collaboration with Sue Liesegang, the Educational Specialist at Paul Ecke Central School in Encinitas.

The program has met with great success and Nancy intends to expand its potential and scope to meet the demand for the growing number of special needs students in our schools.
