Nutrition Writer/Blogger, Culinary Instructor and a Nutrition Consultant

Nutrition education has always been a passion of mine, especially that geared towards raising healthy children and families. I believe that a lifetime of good health starts in the kitchen and involves the entire family. Too often we focus on fixing ailments instead of on preventing them through nutritious, whole foods.Through my work with elementary students, I have learned that if nurtured correctly, every child can adopt a healthy diet with a smile!

"I have a passion for empowering my patients, young and old alike, to make healthy lifestyle choices. In caring for adults, I see how the diet and activity patterns they developed as children affect their health as adults. Obesity, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease are preventable. A healthy life-long lifestyle begins with our children; and as adults, it is our responsibility to teach it to them, by first adopting it ourselves."
