Working one on one with clients is a large part of my practice, but I also teach Herbal Hour sessions, Wellness Workshops, and Weight Loss Boot Camps.  As a mother of four I have lived through many childhood illnesses and traumas, making early development one of my specialties.  I particularly love to work with fatigue and emotional issues, as the recovery changes the clients life so much. 

My specialty is in finding the underlying cause of imbalance, many times related to the digestive system.  When food isn't broken down properly the body cannot absorb the building blocks it needs to fight oxidation, aging or to maintain tissue repair.  This results in a toxic condition in the body which quickly becomes sickness and disease.  The connection between the gut and psychology syndromes or spectrum disorders is incredible. 

To be accurate in assessments is my passion, so I utilize QFA fluid analysis (BTA assessment), Indican screening, Vit C and Ca screening, urine strips, Oxidata screen, Compass bio scan, and Biochemical Blood Analysis.

Board Certified Holistic Nutritionists are specialists at whole foods.  The National Association of Nutrition Professionals was very instrumental in creating the board exam, which Dieticians as well as Nutritionists can sit for.  As a beta tester I was one of the first to receive the Board Certification, and our hope is to bridge the gap between Dieticians who are in charge of the malnourishment in hospitals and nursing homes and Nutritionists who understand that the value of the food is more than its carbohydrate, protein and fat count. 

Nutritionists understand that organic food is grown with a full array of minerals, not just a lack of petroleum based pesticides, and that a cow eating grass does not ferment the e.coli bacteria that a corn fed cow does.  We know that the human body is weakened by eating processed and packaged foods, and that teaching people to get back in touch with their local organic farmers is really the best path back to health.

Getting people in their kitchen is a large part of Nutrition consulting, so I teach cooking classes several times per year, and the Weight Loss Boot Camps include six sessions with a cooking demonstration at each.  My heart is to show people what eating well really looks like, how great it tastes, and that it can still be done with a really full schedule!
