The Khader Center: Celebrating 25 Years of Offering Outstanding Nutrition Consultation
A Commitment to Individualized, Integrated Nutrition has Helped Thousands to Better Health
The Khader Center, Westchester County’s premier integrated health and nutrition provider, is celebrating founder Dina Khader’s twenty-fifth year of private practice in Mount Kisco. In her quarter-century of serving Westchester residents with targeted, highly personalized nutrition consultation, Dina Khader, MS, RD, CDN, MIfHI, has built a reputation as a dedicated, caring, knowledgeable health care practitioner and a source of inspiration to clients and colleagues alike.
Ms. Khader is a registered dietitian, holding a Master of Science degree in nutrition from New York Medical College. She is a Master Fellow and featured presenter with the Institute for Human Individuality, and works closely with the European Institute of Personalized Prevention. She is the author of The Food Combining/Blood Type Diet Solution, and is frequently sought as a lecturer, author, and expert commentator for radio, television, and print media.
“I began offering nutrition consulting in 1990, with a real commitment to getting to know the specific needs and preferences of each client, so that I could provide customized nutrition plans fine-tuned to each individual,” explains Ms. Khader. “Right away, people were surprised how effective a carefully-tailored nutrition solution could be, and how much easier it is to stick to a plan that works so well. A lot has changed in the last twenty-five years, but that dedication to individual care hasn’t wavered, because it has made such a big difference for so many people.”
Ms. Khader’s unwavering dedication, as well as the considerable success her clients have experienced and the word-of-mouth reputation that success has generated, has been a major factor in her success. In 2009, she founded The Khader Center, a full-service integrated nutrition center that offers a number of targeted holistic health solutions, including Ms. Khader’s expert nutrition advice. The Khader Center quickly gained popularity as a friendly, welcoming place to achieve optimal health.

Sew Happy Sewing: Hand and Machine Sewing Instruction for Kids throughout Westchester
Sew Happy Sewing, Inc began in 2012 when Kim Mulcahy decided to turn her hobby in to a cottage industry. She realized that sewing was a life skill that was missing and yet desperately needed by the women and kids in her town. Now, in 2015, the Sew Happy Sewing program is being taught at after school clubs in over 13 schools in Westchester and Kim has 3 talented instructors who, under her guidance, teach sewing in a nurturing, grass roots fashion. Sew Happy Sewing covers both hand and machine sewing but Kim is a keen supporter of hand sewing and often explains to the kids that they can take out a needle and thread anywhere but not a sewing machine! As with everything it’s about finding a balance!
Sew Happy Sewing also offers “boutique” camps in Rye, Greenwich and Chappaqua. “Threads” Camp is tailored to inspire potential fashion designers and fashionistas out there. The difference between the Sew Happy “Threads” Camp and other fashion-type camps is that we actually teach the kids how to design and SEW wearable garments. At “Threads” Camp, the kids work through fun design challenges, sometimes in groups and sometimes alone to create unique garments and they plan and orchestrate their own fashion show on the last day.
“Summer Of Sewing” Camp offers a combination of sewing projects from stuffed animals and gadget cozy’s to pj pants so it’s a great introduction to sewing allowing the kids to try their hand at many different areas of sewing.
The kids who attend our camps make great new friends and connections and often move on to advanced sewing classes and workshops with Sew Happy. We offer the camp to ages 8 – 17 and then we group the kids by age with age appropriate projects and assignments.
Sew Happy offers two birthday party packages, “Sew Fun” is hand sewing for ages 7 and up and offers a choice of super cute projects like bunny puppet, mouse-in-a-tin, gadget cozy or cup-cake softee. “Extreme Sewing” is a machine sewing party where the kids decorate fabric with decorative machine stitches and then they make it into a pillow.
In addition, Sew Happy Sewing has regular workshops in Rye and is planning to expand in to other areas of Westchester this year. Private lessons for individuals or groups are also available. Call 917 885 7716 for more information, visit www.sewhappyusa.net or email Kim at kim@sewhappyusa.net.
World Cup Nursery School
“This Mother’s Day, I am grateful that I found World Cup Nursery School for my two sons who are not only learning numbers and letters but confidence and independence. This is especially important to my special needs son who is thriving and has been given a “typical” preschool experience that I never thought was possible. Thank you for your hard work, your warmth, your laughter.”
