Peg Haust-Arliss, LCSW-R, DipACT, CHHC

Peg’s mission is to empower people and save animals!

Her vegan journey began for the animals. In 1989, she and her husband learned about factory farming at Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, NY. Years later losing her sister to cancer and her father to debilitating RA and Type 1 Diabetes prompted her to learn more about the health benefits of plants and she has since integrated the power of a WFPB diet into her work for a truly holistic lifestyle approach to stress/anxiety and overall well-being.

Peg is a NYS licensed clinical social worker, Diplomate certified cognitive therapist, and coach in private practice for over 25 years. She is also a facilitator at the Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute. 

Peg started FLAVOR: Finger Lakes Area Vegan Organization on FaceBook to gather rural vegans for support and resources. FLAVOR is now a PCRM Building Healthy Communities Chapter and she looks forward to bringing Food for Life classes to the community!
