About Me

Susan.jpgI have been interested in holistic and alternative health and wellness for many years.  That interest turned into a passion after my father died of an overdose of chemotherapy to treat his early-stage bladder cancer.  His death came a mere two weeks after his first treatment.  At the time, I had no idea that most people die from the treatment for their cancer, not the cancer itself.  If I had known then what I know now, I truly believe my father would still be alive.

In the aftermath of his death, I focused all my extra time and energy into researching alternative treatments for cancer.  Trust me, there are a lot of alternatives to chemo, radiation and surgery out there.  Most people just don't know about them.  My research led me down paths to heal people with methods other than prescription medicine.  I decided that if I could help just one person through what I'd learned, my dad wouldn't have died in vain. 

Having been in the business world my whole career, I thought it was too late to change my career path and follow my true passion of helping people become and stay well.  Then I found the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I was trained in more than 100 dietary theories and studied a variety of practical lifestyle coaching methods.  Drawing on this knowledge, I will help you create a completely personalized “roadmap to health” that suits your unique body, lifestyle, preferences and goals.  Your program will be designed specifically for you.
