I have an immense passion for helping guide others toward a more healthful and vibrant life; this passion has led me to learn all I can about plant-based nutrition, habit change, and other healthful lifestyle practices like stress-management and regular physical activity. In 2016, I started a nutrition coaching and counseling practice, Nature's Wellness Path, after witnessing the devastating effects that the Standard American diet and sedentary lifestyles often have on the health and wellbeing of individuals in the nursing homes where I was working. Since then, I have guided individuals on their wellness journeys ,and have enjoyed hearing the numerous benefits they have experienced from eating more plants or adopting a plant-based diet along with other healthful lifestyle practices. I have a special interest in helping individuals lose weight in a healthy and sustainable manner and prevent or reverse chronic diseases including Type 2 Diabetes and heart disease.
