A NATURE BASED NUTRITION practioner
I’m a Seattle girl, born & raised. Rain is in my blood; evergreen forests, in my soul.
A lover of all dogs (a key component to my health strategy), microorganisms (think of the human body as a superorganism) & nature (consider the body as an ecosystem). I look to each for inspiration & guidance on healing, harmony & vitality.
Food as Medicine. Food as Toxins.
I grew up in the kitchen. Food was family, love, joy.
It took me fifty years to realize the impact specific foods could have on the body if it’s out of balance. (Tip: it doesn’t have to take you 50 years, connect with me now….)
I know what it’s like to struggle because I spent half a century fighting my body’s wisdom with the wrong foods, medications, lifestyle and disease management techniques that exacerbated my health.
I had no clue that certain foods could be toxic in my body when it was out of balance & I undervalued foods healing potential.
The Bright Side of Health
Finally, my body gave out.
Desperately seeking answers, the study of functional nutrition & the pivotal role of our forgotten organ, the microbiome, gave me the path and knowledge I needed to heal myself.
Understanding the body’s innate ability to heal & recognizing the signs my body was screaming to me (brain fog, recurrent infections, stomach pain, surgeries, auto-immunity, mood swings, debilitating pain), allowed me to unpack years of misunderstanding, dysfunction & unintentional neglect.
An appreciation for the digestive system – our most intimate connection to the outside world, was what saved me & enabled me to turn my life & health around.
Now, I help people like you accelerate their healing with less pain, frustration & wasted time, money & damage.
Our Challenges Are Our Greatest Gifts
Graduate level studies in the art & science of functional nutrition trained me to not only heal myself, but to share the gifts of my hard won wisdom with others unable to thrive.
Advanced training in transformational coaching methodologies allows me to support my clients in nurturing and leveraging the mind-body connection.
A life-long commitment to self-mastery, I’m constantly studying, growing, and honing my skills as a human and as coach nutritionist.
