Health can be simple, fun & delicious!
I help people develop a healthy relationship with food so that they can reach their full potential of health, vibrance and happiness. Healing from Scratch, we will get to the root causes of your imbalances and help you determine what works best for you based on your individuality.
While there are millions of diets and health blogs, most are not geared towards you as an individual. And most don't even touch on what you are going through mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I'll help you determine what works best for you based on your unique background, medical history, diet habits, emotional health, social life, culture, career status, genetics, and microbiome or internal ecosystem.
You can read more about my approach to nutrition below to see if Healing from Scratch is right for you.
If you are interested in working with me, fill out an application for a consultation so we can hop on the phone and chat about your concerns, goals and how I can help.
