I am a graduate of the National College of Naturopathic Medicine (NCNM) in Portland, OR and hold a license in Washington State.

I am a member of the National Health Association/American Natural Hygiene Society, the National College of Lifestyle Medicine (NCLM), the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), and am certified as a Nutritonal Education Trainer (NET) for Dr. Joel Fuhrman's Nutritional Excellence Program.

I was a frequent guest host for the former radio wellness program, The Wellness Forum , which was heard each Saturday afternoon on 630 KHOW in 2004. I am a nutrition instructor for the Colorado School of Healing Arts in Lakewood, as well as the former Director of Nutrition for Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage.

I am currently pursuing her certificate as a Professional Cancer Coach from the National Association of Professional Cancer Coaches (NAPCC). The association's primary responsibility is to unite professionally trained cancer coaches with men and women who want an evidence-based cancer prevention or recovery program. NAPCC's cancer coaches are registered and licensed health care professionals (R.N.'s, Psychologists, Registered Nutritionists, Naturopathic Doctors, Pharmacists, etc.) who are educated and experienced in both conventional and holistic cancer medicine.

I have also earned a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition and will be teaching this course online for eCornell. This course was designed and taught by Cornell University professor emeritus, T. Colin Campbell, PhD, author of The China Study (see video below).

I am on the staff of Metropolitan State College of Denver as a part-time, affiliate professor in the Health Professions Department/Integrative Therapeutic Practices (ITP).

My professional background in fitness, personal training, plant-based nutrition, natural hygiene, fasting, and Naturopathic Medicine uniquely blends these modalities to offer you the most comprehensive health program available.
