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.

Did you know that richly colored fruits and vegetables are better for your health? That’s why I always tell my clients to eat the rainbow!

When I first started eating more plant-based, I was really nervous about missing certain foods. For example, I worked myself up thinking I would rarely be able to enjoy Mexican cuisine because of how much meat and dairy are often used. But over the years, I have found some INCREDIBLE dairy-free, nutrient-dense products like Forager’s […]
