Hello, My Name Is
"My mission is to educate and encourage healthy, mindful living helping others embrace the concept that we are a product of what we eat and how we treat ourselves."
Personal health and educating others on their health and wellness have been passions of mine for many years. I have had issues with my health for my entire life culminating in cancer and Hashimoto’s in my 30’s. Beyond my own health, I have also struggled while watching various loved ones suffer from health-related issues, including my husband Marc who lost his battle to cancer in his mid-40’s. Despite my many challenges with health, I am so grateful for the lessons that I have learned from them because they have given me the fuel to pass on my knowledge to other people in need.

This drink is a healthy […]

Winter is entirely underway, and it seems as though more and more of my day is spent indoors trying to stay cozy, even in mostly sunny Los Angeles! I’ve been trying to pay special attention to maintaining a proper circadian rhythm by scheduling regular outdoor activity and sticking to a consistent nighttime routine, even when […]

One of my new favorite winter dishes is this Roasted Delicata Squash & Tempeh Curry! Delicata squash is a great source of potassium and dietary fiber and contains magnesium, manganese, and vitamins C and B. Plus the bok choy adds a lot of folate, vitamin E, and beta carotene. And tempeh is my FAVORITE vegan […]
