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. For the past 7 years, I have been working with individuals and have enjoyed seeing the numerous benefits to their health and wellbeing with the adoption of a whole-food plant-based way of eating and 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 like Type 2 Diabetes and heart disease.
