Hello all!

I am currently enrolled in the Holistic Nutrition Coach Certification Program, specializing in Plant Based Nutrition.  My passion for healthy eating and holistic well-being began fairly recently.  I am a Registered Nurse and began feeling burnt out with increased feelings of anxiety and fatigue.  My moods were affecting my husband and my two young boys and so I took responsibility for my well-being and dove into numerous books and documentaries surrounding nutrition and its affects on the body.

At the same time, I was becoming increasingly frustrated with our health care system and the band-aid solutions we offer to those seeking our care.  Instead of looking at the reasons why people are experiencing increased rates of heart disease, cancer and diabetes, we dole out medications.  I feel that nutrition plays a huge role in the development of these and other related illnesses, including anxiety and depression.

I believe we need to focus more on preventative measures and that should start with a healthy diet.  So, I signed up for this course and hope to bring my knowledge as an RN together with my new-found knowledge of nutrition in order to help those in need live a healthier, more full-filling life.
