After more than 30 years in the field, my passion for nutrition continues. Seeing a client find relief from pain and exhaustion is a joy! Plus, I can relate to their desperation to get their life back. In 2005 I put my knowledge of nutrition to the test when, two weeks after invasive back surgery I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shortly afterwards I discovered multiple food allergies. Once those were removed I stopped three prescription medications and feel better than I had in years. I absolutely love bringing that relief to clients!

For nearly 10 years, my body rebelled against my conventional low-fat, convenience food diet with IBS, intense anxiety, constant cravings, and chronic knee pain (all before the age of 25!). It wasn't until I learned about the healing power of a real food, anti-inflammatory diet and discovered some food sensitivities that I saw a dramatic relief in my digestive and joint symptoms, plus an improvement in how my brain functioned. Now, I am passionate about helping others find their own relief, breakthroughs, and successes in their journey of healing using simple, nutritious foods!
