How my journey began
I have been an educator for 37 years, specializing in teaching reading and supporting students’ learning needs. When my son was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease at 11, I committed myself to learning how diet, targeted supplements, and a healthy lifestyle could help him manage the condition without relying on pharmaceuticals.
Over time, I faced my own challenges with food sensitivities, allergies, and gut dysbiosis. I cleansed and rebuilt my system, eliminated reactive foods, and worked to heal my gut through thoughtful nutritional choices and lifestyle changes.
That personal journey inspired me to move into functional nutrition. I began by helping friends and family and later became a certified nutrition coach through the Functional Nutrition Lab. Now I want to share the knowledge and practical guidance I’ve gained so you can make informed decisions and live a healthier, more balanced life.
