When I was a young girl growing up on my family's NJ farm, food was always an important aspect of my life. I loved helping my mom cook. In my house everyone congregated in the kitchen, chatting & nibbling together.

On Sunday, we prepared the traditional pasta meal, complete with a huge salad and

piles of greens. Every September we harvested tomatoes and the family would get together

to make home made tomato sauce that

we jarred for the winter. 

​

But life wasn't always so kind, by the time I was ten, my grandmother had lost both of her legs to amputations from the effects of uncontrolled diabetes. It scared me, and as much as I loved her, I dreaded going there to visit. 

​

With the knowledge that nutrition was critical to prevent the fate that my grandmother had seen, I enrolled in a nutrition class in college. That is where I found my passion, and what would become my life's work, preventing illness and suffering thru lifestyle and nutrition.

​

​

At Rutgers University I earned a BS degree in food & nutrition.

In 1998 became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist(RDN), through

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

​

I have spent many years working with clients suffering the ill effects of a

SAD (Standard American Diet),

many of whom take burdensome numbers of pills to manage chronic diseases.

But there is another way...

​

I founded The Well Nourished Life  to help empower women, men and their families to cultivate and sustain a

Well Nourished Life through whole food nutrition therapy, body, mind and spiritual wellness.

Let's journey together!
