"I've lived the dream... As a chef, I had to "release" 100 pounds to reach my healthy place - and have now kept it off for almost 10 years. As a Stage-3 cancer survivor, I had to completely shift my attitude, emotions, and lifestyle to embrace healthier choices. As a foodie, I had to find alternate ways to satisfy an unrelenting passion for the delectable foods that still to this day - trip my palate's trigger. And as a Culinary Wellness Coach, I'm stoked and exhilarated to help you also do all of the above, to reach YOUR healthy place!"
