I have always loved food but hated how I felt after eating.  I didn’t realize what my life’s purpose was until a diet pill caused a stroke and open-heart surgery at the ripe old age of 35.

With the unexpected death of my husband a year later and the complexities of my own health issues, my well-being was paramount as a single mother of two young boys.

My life was about to change.

I knew I was not the only person so negatively affected by food, I was determined to figure it out.  After graduating from IIN 2007, I dove head first into the RAW food movement.  I LOVED it!  I was armed with a dehydrator and spiralizer; nothing could stop me and I made sure everyone knew it! Lol. I was the queen of everything RAW!

However, after 6 months I came crashing down!  In fact, every cookie-cutter diet proved to worsen my symptoms.

I have a serious addiction to food! I am a classically trained chef with a certification in Culinary Nutrition. I learned the ins and outs of food and how to prepare and season properly.  Showing people how to eat a whole foods diet was my passion.  A business was born.

Dandelion salad was one of my favorite salads. My mom would send me out armed with a colander to pick the weeds from the backyard!  I remember thinking how cool that was!  We would do a simple dressing of oil, vinegar and salt.

Eating from the land has been ingrained in me.

My passion for helping others was on overdrive and my career path shifted. Functional Medicine and the study of the body was the missing ingredient.

Being entrenched in physiology and anatomy along with science has enabled me to craft a unique program that gets results.

I LOVE my Job! I love reading bloodwork, asking questions, understanding about you, your diet and teaching you how to listen to your body on your road to  wellness.

My love for horses started at a young age.   Sometimes there is no denying what are you drawn to.  I volunteer at a horse rescue, it is the most fulfilling part of my weekend.

I grew up in a traditional New York – Italian American family.

Some of my fondest memories are Sunday dinner passing around the bowl of rigatoni.

Waking up Sunday morning looking forward to ripping off a big chunk of fresh Italian bread and dipping in the huge pot of gravy that cooked for hours on the stove.
