- About -

My proven approach comes from over 30 years of nutrition practice and lived experience.  I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my 40’s, and today I have reversed this into osteopenia. Additionally, I have overcome numerous illnesses and conditions rooted in inflammation. These came about by following traditional “low fat, food guide pyramid” recommendations. An undiagnosed thyroid condition caused severe fatigue, and this dietary template exacerbated the proclivity to use refined starch and sugars for energy. This damaged my gut and created excessive “food noise” when trying to moderate these. Today I have neutrality around food and view my choices as either “supportive” or “unsupportive.” My thyroid, gut health, inflammation and energy levels are all balanced, and I am holding two autoimmune conditions in remission.

My professional qualifications include clinical work in the hospital specializing in Bone Marrow Transplant, individual client consulting, corporate health and wellness sales, and teaching nutrition in the high school setting.  I have extensive continuing education in functional nutrition, metabolic nutrition for disease reversal under Dr. Georgia Ede and Dr. Eric Westman, food addiction recovery study under Dr. Joan Ifland, and trauma informed recovery for disordered eating through the Embodied Recovery Institute. My coach training was with Lead From Transformation, an International Coaching Federation accredited program, and my deep listening skills were acquired in my year long certification program by Healing Care Ministries. I have a wealth of experience and a skilled, diverse set of tools to support you.
