This Former Broadway Performer is now a Mom on a Mission as a Certified Integrative Nutrition and Holistic Health Coach.

Pictures can be very deceiving. 

If you look at pictures of me in my 20’s and 30’s you would assume that I was healthy. After all, my profession demanded up to four shows in a 13-hour day and as many as six days a week of work. What you couldn’t see, and what I only discovered later, was that my body suffered from debilitating inflammation.  I was in a recurring cycle of sickness, chronic cystic acne, horrible seasonal allergies, and periodontal disease, and those are only the chronic conditions. I assumed that this was normal. Everyone suffers from something, right?

 Wrong. 

I had no appreciation for the connection and power that food has on my body every day. As a child of the ’70s growing up in Texas and attending college in Oklahoma, I swear the only lettuce was iceberg, and two favorite food groups were Dr. Pepper and fast food. I wish I learned earlier what I know now. Changing my diet and understanding the relationship between food and health became vital to me when I started my family. Food provides us with so much more than getting us through the day. Finally, I have learned how to flood my body daily with more than 30 different whole foods. Now I crave fruits and vegetables! 

I want to be your cheerleader for change!  

If this former chocoholic and fast-food junkie can do it, so can you.  This is not about a quick fix that won’t last. This is about making a choice every day to prioritize your health and wellness to provide a better Whole Life.
