About Me – For optimal listing appearance, please limit this info to one or two paragraphs.:
In 2013, I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition called relapsing polychondritis. On the basis of extensive research, I rejected my doctor’s orders and eschewed the perils of corticosteroid treatment, instead choosing a path of changing my diet and lifestyle.
I switched to a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet that not only reversed my autoimmune condition, but also improved my health in countless other ways. Based on the statistics, I was supposed to be either bedridden or dead by now, but instead I am alive and well — and medication-free!
These positive changes inspired me to study nutrition-based health further, to the point where it has become an obsession of mine.

After I found plant-based eating 7 years ago, I was thrilled! I lost weight, felt more energetic and slept better! But I couldn’t get myself to kick the cravings…no matter how hard I tried! I felt embarrassed that I couldn’t stick with it, that I didn’t have more willpower, and that I couldn’t stop eating!
Then I learned the missing piece that helped transform my relationship with food and heal my digestion 100%! Now I use the tools I learned to help my clients take control of food, lose stubborn weight and create the body of their dreams with confidence! My mission is to help YOU be as wildly successful as possible so that we can spread the word about the plant-based diet to the world!
