    As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, and Meditation/Wellness Coach, her passion is to help her clients discover their own unique path to feeling healthy, energized and beautiful; both inside and out. After recovering from two heart surgeries, chronic anxiety, and a family history of auto-immune disease, she discovered that she was in control of how she could feel and heal her body. She learned the effects of chronic stress, poor digestion, and poor food choices could be reversed simply by healing her gut! This is what led her to further study the impact of digestion and gut health, and how treating our microbiome (gut-ecosystem) could heal our bodies, our mindset, and energize our lives. Today she works with clients privately and in groups, on committing to simple food and lifestyle changes to feel empowered about their health for good.
