I'm a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner + Holistic Chef committed to teaching and equipping you to thrive at your fullest health potential.
Whether it's through integrative nutrition knowledge, or through sharing my whole food recipes, safer beauty tips, kitchen hacks, or something else- I feel confident that I can help you fall in love with a healthy lifestyle and create lifelong, permanent change for you and your family.
When my younger brother was diagnosed with autism, my family switched to a gluten-free, dairy-free, and organic diet. Not only did this hugely improve his functioning, but I too grew up thriving on these nutrient-dense foods and thus excelled in school, sports, and social situations.
During my teenage years, I discovered unhealthy processed foods, soda, and candy. Soon enough, whenever I wasn’t under my parents watch, my healthy lifestyle went out of the window. Along with this came digestive distress, hyperactivity, the inability to concentrate in school, struggles with mental health, weight gain, irregular periods, candida and more.
Whenever I would come home with chocolate covered donuts, candy bars, or a big bag of crisps, my brother would get so upset. He wanted to eat “delicious” food too but was stuck eating sesame seed crackers, vegetable sticks, and carob chips. To make him happy, I took it upon myself to create delicious minimally processed, nutrient-dense meals for him. The results were outstanding- he loved them, and I loved them.
After my initial success, I began to share my recipes with my family and friends. They were a huge hit and soon enough, everyone had adopted a nutrient-dense and organic diet focused on consuming unprocessed foods. We all felt amazing and saw such positive change in various areas of our lives. The more I researched which ingredients were beneficial for my body, and which were best to avoid, the more I fell in love with this way of eating. It didn’t take me long to realize how amazing I felt from eliminating nasty foods from my diet and replacing them with more nourishing (and delicious) options.
I’ve married my personal experience with my formal education as a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and I have started this page as a resource for families who are looking to pursue conscious living, particularly those who want to live life at the fullest and with purpose. I want to help people take care of themselves so they can better serve those around them. I feel so much healthier and happier following this lifestyle, and I can't wait to share it with you and assist you on your journey to optimum health.
