I’ve always had an affinity for eating as close to nature as possible. When I was confronted with my mother’s terminal illness during early adolescence, that journey organically took me on a path that evolved into a career focused on the role nutrition plays in wellness. I believe in the power of food as medicine.
Working with clients gave me the privilege of seeing life-changing effects on how the practical knowledge of nutrition and lifestyle can impact someone’s life to eat and live better, so I took the step to do that in a way where there was a greater reach.
Three interpersonal qualities are to listen actively to both the verbal and nonverbal language of others, have compassion, and be empathetic. My personal approach to working with others is kindness-based and focuses on being aware, attentive, and observant, always thinking where the client’s needs lie.

The wellness industry is so diverse, and there is a place for everyone. Discover what you are passionate about and build your skill set in that area.
As someone who is so passionate about sharing my knowledge of how powerful good nutrition is to every aspect of our being, I’ve designed the course with a holistic approach to whole-body health. This starts with learning the basics – how our digestion system works and the functions of each organ. We’ve covered the building blocks of nutrition so students can understand how and why our food choices impact our well-being, with an emphasis on gut health and the gut microbiome, the mind-body connection, and how every system in our body is tied to this thriving ecosystem. I’ve also included practical assignments so students can apply their knowledge in creating their own meals, meal plans, or starting a business of their own. My goal is for the course to empower students to make informed dietary choices and promote overall health, or to pursue a career in the industry so they can pass along their knowledge to others.
The course content breaks down complex concepts into understandable and practical insights. So, I like helping each student grasp what significantly impacts and changes their lives for better health and how to apply that knowledge to support their future aspirations.
Harness your personal intention to learn and stay motivated. No one gets from the start of a race to the finish line without running it first. Stay focused by take one step at a time until you reach the finish line. Enjoy the journey of discovery!
I really enjoyed doing my assignments, both written and practical. I always felt quite accomplished once I had completed the task at hand, and I could download the next module and glance through it.
