Meet Your Instructor

I am a licensed Food For Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. After struggling with a debilitating chronic illness for over 10 years, I discovered plant based nutrition. Whole food plant based nutrition saved my life, igniting a passion and purpose.

I have completed ECornells plant based nutrition certificate program and Rouxbe plant based profesional culinary school. I have a passion for sharing with others how plant based nutrition and lifestyle can transform their health.

I live in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of NYS with my husband John. We have three adult daughters and two furry loves. In my free time I enjoy hiking, mountain biking, yoga, gardening, reading and cooking. After years of having great physical limitations and chronic pain it is a true joy to enjoy my hobbies and physical activities again.
