Bio
I am a holistic nutritionist and leader in the world of food and health as well as a mother of three. My specialty is helping busy moms create better health for themselves and their families. I also help people with cancer and other chronic illnesses thrive, not just survive.
My approach integrates whole food and healthy lifestyle with the reality of living in our busy, often chaotic, world. I have a private health counseling practice in Westchester, NY. In addition to working with people one on one, I teach group programs in the tri-state area and throughout the world with distance learning and e-books.
I am the founder of Better School Food, a coalition of health professionals, educators, and concerned parents, whose mission is to raise awareness about the connection between better food and better health. I am one of the Two Angry Moms in the upcoming film of the same name.
Before I became a holistic practitioner, I was a dentist for 14 years. At the turn of the century, I left dentistry to study nutrition and chose the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC for its unique approach to food. Since graduating in 2000, I continue my studies by attending several national conferences each year in the areas of nutrition, holistic health, and botanical medicine. By studying with such leaders in the field as Andrew Weil, M.D. and Annemarie Colbin, PhD; herbalists Drew Di Vitorrio and Pam Leahy, nutritionist Marc David and other healers, I have more to draw from to help my clients. I believe we’re never done learning!
I love inspiring people to find a better way to improve their health by increasing their Food IQ. I’m NOT an expert chef – I’m a busy mom to who cares about raising a healthy family. My three daughters continue to be my inspiration and greatest teachers. If I can do this, you can too!
