- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I love to nourish people! This is not how I got into my line of work, but it is an exclamation that keeps me passionate in pursuing the same path. I grew up cooking with my father but was never really educated on how to properly fuel my body for optimal function. When I went to university, I entered the nutritional sciences program and instantly fell in love with the science aspect. The switch from modern to traditional nutrition occurred about two years into my studies when it dawned on me that I was learning how to heal symptoms with pharmaceuticals as opposed to healing core issues with nutrients. I received my credentials as a registered & licensed dietitian then hit the road running in pursuit of alternative approaches. The opportunity to begin cooking for clients organically opened up when one requested if I could make their meals in addition to monthly meetings. I still cook for this family weekly and their words of praise are that they can actually taste the change.
