being passionate about nutrition, I was also obsessed with exercise. Eventually, the stress on my body from intense exercise, combined with a series of stressful life events, caught up to me. I became sick & experienced the shock & devastation of losing my health to a serious illness. It was then that I realized that nutrition is the ultimate foundation of good health. Using my knowledge of the human body & the importance of a whole foods diet, I waded through numerous books, & vast amount of nutritional information out there, to find out what I really had to do to regain my health. It was during this time that I began working with a nutritionist who was practicing Nutrition Response Testing. What I discovered during my time of working with her, not only helped me obtain optimal health, but showed me a tangible way of practicing nutrition that got results! Armed with a tangible framework through which to practice nutrition, I decided to turn my passion about nutrition into a career as well as fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming a nutritionist. I obtained my Bachelor’s in Nutrition Science & then immediately began the Master’s of Human Nutrition & Functional Medicine program at the University of Western States. From my learning experience at the University of Western States, I have learned how to approach clients from a Functional Medicine perspective. This approach addresses the underlying causes of dysfunction, ultimately restoring true health & vitality. I bring an invaluable blend of personal experience combined with the best nutrition education available to Bethlehem Nutrition & Wellness Center. I am passionate about the fact that nutrition recommendations need to be individualized. There is no one book or one approach that will work for every person. I also believe that the human body desires health & wellness. It has the ability to heal itself when given the correct building blocks & any obstacles towards healing are removed. The Functional Medicine approach allows me to develop individualized & effective nutrition programs to help my clients, Get Well, Stay Well
