Food Medicine.

 I grew up in a restaurant kitchen, and as a teenager I started studying Herbalism, Nutrition and Aromatherapy to address my own health issues, and got hooked.

 I grew up in a restaurant kitchen, and as a teenager I started studying Herbalism, Nutrition and Aromatherapy to address my own health issues, and got hooked. 

I went on to a long career in Natural Food stores, selling supplements, herbs and natural bodycare products in a variety of venues, and at a variety of levels.  

Eventually my interests brought me to Bauman College in Capitola, CA, where I earned certifications as a Nutritional Educator, Nutritional Consultant and Natural Chef. 

Over the years I have worked with countless people on a variety of health situations like weight loss, heart health, high blood pressure, pregnancy and childbirth, children's health, cancer, surgery prep and recovery, allergies (digestive and environmental), acne, eczema, psoriasis, roseacea, scars, anti-aging treatments, acid reflux, heartburn, celiac disease, diarrhea, constipation, the good old common cold, and thousands of other unique health situations. 

By using all that experience, training, intuition, and honesty, I try to help people find their way to balanced health and better quality of life.
