My Background

My husband, Kevin, and I have lived a naturally healthy lifestyle since shortly after the high-risk pregnancy and birth of our son in 1998. After heavily researching the effects of diet and other non-dietary factors on health, we committed to raising our family in a more natural lifestyle. We also came to firmly believe that as parents, we needed to take control and be proactive with our family’s health and not rely so heavily on the medical “experts” and medical industry. Thus began our health journey….

In 2004, we were introduced to raw foods when Kevin decided to simply “fast on raw fruits and vegetables” for a couple of weeks. His amazing transformation over the course of just 3 weeks made a huge impression on me. Because of my tendency to heavily research, I learned there was an actual name to how Kevin was eating ~ a RAW & LIVING FOODS DIET. This was enough to draw me in. We made the commitment to eating a high raw and living foods diet and have never regretted it since.

I am a Certified Raw Food Chef, Instructor and Teacher through the Living On Live Food program and was personally trained by internationally recognized writer, speaker and consultant on raw and living food, Alissa Cohen.

Although, we are big believers of the raw food diet, we do not agree that you have to be 100% raw or vegan to experience optimal health. Please refer to my Philosophy page to learn more about what we personally believe for natural health.
