Holistic nutrition for real life
I help people overcome their anxiety about what to eat by teaching them how to make the right choices for their unique needs. Don’t try to navigate the labyrinth of diet culture on your own! Get a coach.
About Us
Beliefs
I believe real food saves lives. I also believe that no body system works independently and that all disease starts in the gut. This means that diet and lifestyle have to work together in a balance that nourishes the entire individual. Sunshine, sleep, time with family and friends, exercise, spirituality, hobbies, and other lifestyle factors matter as much as or more than what you eat.

Many women (including me!) don’t even realize we are stressed untilContinue reading “Could hidden stress be causing your IBS?”
- The Case Against Ultra-Processed FoodThe following paper was originally written in January. It was submitted as a final paper in a class I was taking at the time (I got an “A”).
