Put on my first 'diet' when I was 7 years old, by my calculations, I'd been on one sort of diet or another for nearly my whole life.

Until I stopped. Because none of them worked.

​

In addition to struggling with weight gain from emotional eating, I was diagnosed with overactive adrenals, being hypothyroid (Hashimoto's thyroiditis), and sensitivity to 25 different foods, all of which contributed to weight gain, fatigue, brain fog and depression.

​

So after a few more years of trying to avoid foods I loved, and 'failing' on diets that didn't work, I stopped dieting. And I stopped treating food as something 'bad'. Food has become my medicine -- a way to nourish and nurture my body that makes me feel well-fed. And the weight began slowly coming off, my hair and skin looked healthier, and the brain fog and fatigue are gone.

​

My search for healing and health has included studying Polarity Therapy, Iyengar-style yoga, stress management techniques,

meditation, Inner Engineering and Western herbalism.

​

I work from the concept of bioindividuality -- that there is not a one-size fits all path to healing and health -- but that each person's journey is unique to them. And we can nourish ourselves through more than what we eat.

​

Best of all, is understanding eating healthy food is a gift to myself for life, creating a sense peace and well-being that

no diet ever did. Because health and healing are not a destination -- they are the journey.
