When other kids were watching Sesame Street, I was watching PBS cooking shows. As I got older, I loved food and cooking, but biology was also my favorite subject in school. After getting my culinary training in New Orleans, I became fascinated with the way our body uses food and the role it plays. I then became a nutritionist, but found I became interested in all aspects of health. I wasn’t just talking to clients about nutrition, but fitness, stress management and an overall healthy lifestyle. This led me to become educated in other health modalities.
I am a Registered Nutritionist, Healthy Chef and Holistic Health Coach. In addition to my culinary education, I hold college degrees in both Nutrition and Health Promotion. I have 20 years experience working with every age group in multiple settings. After many years in the restaurant industry in New Orleans, I was the Nutrition Director for several long term care facilities. Upon moving to Colorado Springs, I worked for the El Paso County Health Dept. WIC ...program providing nutrition education, and most recently as a nutritionist working with cadets at the US Air Force Academy. I am registered with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association). I am also a certified food safety instructor / proctor. I am both a foodie AND a health nut, so I love to cook food that is clean, nutritious and delicious!
