My journey.................

I didn't set out to have a career in holistic nutrition.   In fact, I didn't even know what that was 20 years ago but, I do know holistic nutrition changed my life for the better.   I had always been sick; I struggled with chronic tonsillitis, canker sores, mono, recurrent ear/sinus infections and a variety of other health issues.  I was eventually diagnosed with an auto-immune condition in my mid 20's.  I spent countless days in hospital, taking all kinds of drugs and eventually I had surgery to remove the parts of my body that were sick.   Despite this aggressive medical approach I remained unwell and essentially debilitated.  My illness determined my entire life until I woke up one morning and decided a change was in order.  I started working with a naturopathic doctor; I changed my diet, started supplementing with key nutrients, made some lifestyle adjustments and I've never looked back.  Nutrition became my passion and, in a short period of time, I was able to reclaim a level of health I never thought possible.  My enthusiasm for diet and nutrition was so great I decided to turn my passion into a career.   I went back to school and attended the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition where I became a Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant.   My journey over the last 20 + years has taught me that we are what we eat.  Food is the single largest stimulus in our lives so it's inevitable that what we feed our bodies is reflected in our overall health and well being.   The body is not designed for sickness; it is designed for full, robust health and vitality and there is no doubt in my mind that each, and every one of us, can achieve a level of health we never dreamed possible.  I look forward to helping you reach your optimum level of health!
