The Power of Real Food Your journey towards achieving true wellness.
In August of 2008, my life was changed when I was diagnosed with an intestinal disorder known as IBS. Tests and personal observation later confirmed that I had developed candida along with allergies to gluten, dairy and soy. Eating caused me a great deal of discomfort and led me to spend an increasing amount of time either being uncomfortable or in the bathroom.
My resolve to becoming better led me to a number of healthcare practitioners, additional testing and protocols. After years of accumulating such experience, I went on to study nutrition and health more formally and became certified in several specialties. I have since seen immense improvement and am far less limited in my diet today.
This experience has created a passion in me to help others restore their health. I believe there is always hope regardless of a person’s present condition or struggles. My mission is to educate people like you about the power of real food and to help you in your own personal journey towards achieving true wellness. Everyone wants to feel normal and live life as God intended and I would enjoy working with you to help you regain the life you desire.
