My quest to heal personal wellness issues in my 20s led me down the road to discovering and studying the fascinating field of Functional Nutrition. By getting to the root causes of my wellness issues, I was able to resolve them and finally reclaim my health and vitality. I knew I wanted to help others to experience the same.
I left the fashion world and got my Master’s in Nutrition. I am passionate beyond words about helping others regain their health and improve the quality of their lives, and I am honored to have the privilege to do so.
