Graduate Focus

My journey to becoming a Nutritional Therapist started in 2015, when I left a 20-year career in Marketing and Product Management to embark on a new path. All I knew, at that point, was that I wanted this path to be connected to food. Food and cooking were always my personal go-to strategies to de-stress. Tinkering in the kitchen and having time to prepare and eat something simple but delicious just made me feel good.

"My journey to becoming a Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach started in 2011 when I worked in a large, fast-paced corporation. I worked hard and played harder. Sure, I enjoyed the variety but the stress often made me feel emotionally and physically drained. At that point, my efforts to look after myself were sporadic and ineffective at best.
