My Story

 

I am passionate about healthy eating. I am here to help you walk the walk in improving your eating habits.

 

I am a Nutrition Educator and my job is to help you understand why and how you could eat a healthier diet. Even if you think you eat healthy, there is always room for improvement!

 

Different people have different needs! Whether you are trying to lose weight, manage symptoms related to food or need help improving your nutrition, I am here to help. Eating well could be hard work sometimes, but I will teach you strategies to help you cope. Health is actually hard work! Understanding what foods are good for you is key to your future health.

 

I hold a Masters Degree in Science in Nutrition Education from Teacher's College, Columbia University. My Bachelor's of Science was in Food Science and Nutrition. I have worked in research, training of health professionals, patient counselling and nutrition education. I have more than 16 years of experience teaching people hands-on how to eat healthfully and lecturing on nutrition related topics to adults and children in English and Spanish. I have also volunteered in clinical settings and commercial food preparation sites. My focus is prevention of disease through nutrition.

 

I understand first hand the importance of food in different cultures and in various stages of life as I have had the wonderful opportunity to live in four different countries in three different continents, and I am blessed with a wonderful husband and three healthy children. 

 

I hope my life experience gives you the trust you need to contact me and allow me to help you make a positive change in your eating behavior.
