My health issues began early in life. I was born prematurely and with a slight hearing issue which led to a speech impediment and cognitive learning difficulties. When I was

9 years old, I began speech therapy and experienced that my speech began to heal itself when given the right tools, and a great teacher! As I experienced this, a deep curiosity sparked within me…even at this young age!

In my teen years, I developed IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and became sick enough to experience dizziness, nausea and sometimes passing out, yikes! Even though this was happening I still managed to stay active in tennis, basketball, field hockey, and cycling. My diet was not the greatest, filled with salt, cheese, bread, and red meat. I was what I call a ‘fat skinny person’. It may have seemed that I was slim on the outside but my overall health and well-being were pretty poor!

In college, I studied biology and forestry and started to understand that plants and herbs have amazing healing properties so I began to change my diet and slowly but surely noticed some of my own health issues beginning to subside. Inspired by the healing of my own body, when I moved to Boston I decided to devote myself to the full-time study of whole food nutrition and their healing powers.

I gradually discovered that if I fed my body with specific food for my body type, that food and herbs truly became my medicine! My IBS was healed, I became stronger, and my energy levels stabilized. Goodbye afternoon coma, nausea, and low energy.. hello new way to live! I am excited to help you get the health and wellness that YOU are looking for too!! I am proud mom of 3 wonderful, grown children, an avid cyclist and tennis player, gardener and of course love to cook! My husband Mike and I reside in the greater Metrowest area of Massachusetts.
