Kimberly Day
Founder and Chief Decadence Officer
Kimberly Day
Kimberly received her Master of Arts in English from Gannon University in Erie, PA. She has a wide range of writing experience, including penning commercials for radio and television, articles for several national health magazines and newsletters, speeches for celebrity spokespeople, and a variety of press releases and talking points for a national medical association. Currently, Kimberly is working with Dr. Susan Lark on a series of books on women's health, including their newest book Hormone Revolution.
In addition to winning awards for her work, such as Best Television Commercial by the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters and “Silver Medal” for Excellence in Public Relations by the Bulldog Reporter, Kimberly has worked with several celebrities to help promote healthy vision, including actor Bill Cosby, NFL tackle Jermane Mayberry, actor/singer Mandy Patinkin, and 1999 Miss America Nicole Johnson.
But Kimberly’s true passion is healthy cuisine. She has been associated with nutritious food since her childhood, when she worked extensively in her grandmother’s health food store. She grew up on sprout sandwiches and carob rather than McDonald’s and chocolate, and later worked in catering during high school and college.
Since then, Kimberly has focused bringing healthy, decadent cuisine to hundreds of people across the country with her free food eLetter entitled Food for Thought: Quaffs and Cuisine for Decadent Health.
Her philosophy is simple: Preparing healthy meals shouldn’t mean that you have to sacrifice taste or spend hours in the kitchen. Truly healthy food is truly decadent food.

Kristen Hossa Pytel
Kristen has a degree in Communication and International Affairs is from the University of Nebraska. After working in sales and marketing, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery. Recalling the peace and tranquility of the yoga she learned as a child, Kristen studied at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lennox, MA, and received her yoga teaching certification.
In addition to teaching yoga—including asana and pranayama—Kristen discovered how movement and dance can release the body’s energy. Inspired by this energy, she earned her Global Dance Certification in Sedona, AZ.
In Kristen’s interview for the June 2004 issue of The Lark Letter, she said, “Yoga has been a lifelong journey.”
The benefits of yoga motivated Kristen to help children. She trained at the Next Generation Yoga Studio in New York City. When working with special needs children in the Chicago area, Kristen saw how yoga dramatically increased a child’s self-esteem. She taught children ages three to 10, and trained parents to incorporate yoga into their lives. She also developed a self-esteem program for pre-teens and teens.
Kristen acquired her Prenatal and Post Natal certification at Kripalu so she could guide expecting parents through a happy, healthy pregnancy. She continued parent and child yoga classes after the baby’s birth.
After obtaining her certification for Ayurvedic Thai Yoga Bodywork, Kristen was gratified to see how Thai Yoga Bodywork could hasten healing as she worked with minor league baseball players, football players, and equestrians.
Kristen has owned and managed her own yoga businesses in the Midwest and South, where she taught yoga and spin classes, both privately and in groups, and developed workshops.
In addition to teaching yoga, Kristen spends much of her time helping clients achieve self-fulfillment, happiness, and health. She believes that you should celebrate each day. It is a treasure, so live, love, and laugh.
