"Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and Spring." - Thoreau
My mission is to simply assist you on your own path to the limitless healing and wellbeing. You are a beautiful human being and your body has been designed with undeniable innate wisdom and love! All true healing happens from within.
My Journey... My healthcare background is in hospital-based critical care environment. While seeing many critically ill patients and not witnessing much progress in their healing, I began to question their plans of care. Dispensing multiple pharmaceutical drugs via various routes on a daily basis became a personally conflicting routine for me. I have clearly noticed that the fundamental building blocks of health, - optimum nutrition, rest, physical activity and emotional support, - were completely missing from their daily care while the hospital’s administration officers were mainly concerned with the financial bottom line... or so it seemed to me! Having my first child in 2008 has given me new strength to pursue my goal of truly helping people reach their optimal health through education and practice. Several highly regarded healthcare professionals of past and present served as my models and my motivators. If you are a parent, seeking guidance about optimum nutrition for you and your children, you are especially welcome. I admire you for making steps to give your children a healthy present and future and I encourage you to think actively and to never tire of asking questions. Our children will enjoy a healthier world when we, parents, make a join effort to raise them with love and guidance. I welcome you to share your nutritional concerns with me and allow me to be of service to you. Please be assured that I hold my conduct to the highest standard of practice as a healthcare professional. Any information I gather from you in order to help you, is kept private and confidential. If I don’t have an answer to your question at any time during our professional relationship, I promise to do the necessary research to answer it correctly and with confidence. My assessment skills are thorough and polished due to my background in hospital based nursing care, therefore, I will refer you to an appropriate healthcare provider if and when I see a clear need for medical attention, physical therapy, dental attention, etc.
I have been passionate about the study of nutrition since I was 18 years old. My quest to learn about the healing power of quality foods began when I came face-to-face with my own emotional and physical challenges.

Why I started my nutritional practice
I am one of many people who have been tirelessly searching for an opportunity to make a difference in the world. Ideally, we all want our daily work to be enjoyable and fulfilling. Unfortunately, fear is a strong ruling force in our society today and we question our inspirations so often that we strip ourselves of our inborn freedom to be all we can be… be joyful and completely present in the moment! While I have always been interested in nutrition, my own journey to a healthy lifestyle has been long and full of frustrations due to the fears that I have carried within me for a very long time. Once I realized how debilitating and toxic my fears and self-doubt were, I set out on a different kind of a journey, - the one to a true me.
My nutritional practice is the result of my personal transformation that has been taking its course over the past decade.
My focus is to restore the natural beauty, health and magic of our planet - our home, one person at a time, starting with myself. My practice is here today because I believe that the only way I can spread love and truth in our world is by doing what I trust, love and believe in my heart.

Hours of Operation A landmark research study shows the odds of purchasing an effective, non-toxic herbal product today is only 2.5% (cited in JANA, Winter 2000). The choice of products in my practice was based on my own personal search and clinical research. I have found that while many companies claim to make “pure” and effective nutritional supplements, only a handful of companies from my list of over a hundred make supplements of highest quality and meet my personal and professional standards and expectations. Please note that my focus is on viable nutrition as in proper selection and preparation of foods that you and your family can enjoy on your personal paths to vibrant health. Supplementation is a very important piece of optimal nutrition in today's world, however, and by making superior quality supplements available to you I hope to eliminate some frustrations from your search for the nutritional answers.
Please note that I see clients by appointment only. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to schedule an appointment. Depending on the availability, I do see clients during the week and on weekends.

Weston A. Price Foundation
Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Weston A. Price, DDS, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price's research demonstrated that men and women achieve perfect physical form and perfect health, generation after generation, only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats. The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the American diet through education, research and activism and supports a number of movements that contribute to this objective, including accurate nutrition instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of livestock, community supported farming, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. Specific goals include establishment of universal access to clean, certified raw milk and a ban on the use of soy-based infant formula. The board and membership of the Weston A. Price Foundation stand united in the belief that modern technlogy should be harnessed as a servant to the wise and nurturing traditions of our ancestors rather than used as a force destructive to the environment and human health; and that science and knowledge can validate those traditions. The Weston A. Price Foundation is supported by membership dues and private donations and receives no funding from the meat or dairy industries! To learn more about Weston A. Price Foundation or to become a member, please visit www.westonaprice.org
