Her Story...

Her love for health food and her own healing path led her to pursue Nutrition, Health and Wellness studies receiving a Master’s degree in Nutrition and Public Health from Columbia University. It was here that she was greatly influenced by the teachings of Joan Gussow, author and pioneer of the local, organic food movement- shaping the lens through which she sees Nutrition- as she now is a strong advocate for organic foods and environmentally sustainable agriculture and lifestyle practices. 

In order to enhance her traditional nutritional studies, she spent time studying Alternative dietary approaches, receiving a certification in holistic health counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and a detox nutrition certification from the Dr. Ann Wigmore Institute in Puerto Rico.  She studied Ayurvedic nutrition and healing therapies at Rasa Ayurveda, a traditional Ayurvedic healing center in Kerala, India.  

Her professional career began working 15+ years in the luxury spa industry, providing her with with hands-on experience in the healing arts.  She believes that travel and life experiences can be some of our greatest teachers and has traveled globally developing a greater sense of nutritional, health, and beauty practices in a variety of cultures which she continually draws upon in her work. 

She has authored a book called Radiant Beauty merging her studies in Ancient Greek History and Nutrition and her years of experience working in the healing arts, beauty, and spa industry.
