I learned to not take health for grantedat the age of 21. I awoke to the reality that in life there are no guarantees, when my father died of a second heart attack when he was only 52.
I became fascinated with how food choices have a major impact on energy, mood swings and struggles with weight, when at 22, I was diagnosed with a form of hypoglycemia. I was relieved to find there was a reason why I was too tired to move after meals, that I cried over losing a contact lens, and that having one cookie led to devouring the whole box.
My passion for finding all the puzzle pieces of what it takes to get healthy and remain healthy was ignitedwhen my son had recurring ear infections, even after tubes were inserted in his ears. I learned foods he ate every day created mucous that provided a medium for bacteria to grow. At the time, there were no professionals I could find who could help me adjust the diet of a 2 year old to deal with multiple food sensitivities. It was up to me to help him!
Now, it's that same passion, fascination and value for optimum quality of life that drives me to create innovative programs with time tested tools to help you find practical, simple, and do-able solutions as you struggle with your own health challenges.
My Mission
My mission is to demystify the "getting healthy" process, to show what foods can do for you, rather than to you, and to encourage the exploration of daily habits that help maintain energy and focus in the face of life's daily challenges.
My joy comes from supporting you through your process of discovering what works best for you and helping you maintain better eating habits and other life practices because of how good it makes you feel
My role is to help you understand what food and lifestyle choices will work best for you based on your unique metabolism, constitution and present body functioning. I then introduce you to a series of easy-to-use tools and practices that help you get on the path to health and wellbeing in a way and at a pace that is comfortable for you.
