I help my clients regain their health by designing an overall wellness program, specific to their needs.

Relationships, exercise, career, and spirituality are just as important to your health as the food you eat. I understand this, from personal experience, and take a holistic approach to supporting the whole person. 

My goal is to help you to eat WHOLE and THRIVE!
