My journey in life and passion has been for the sciences in the backwoods of the calm countryside. Digging deep into the richness of the soil, raising and harvesting crops to nourish my community, smelling the fresh cut alfalfa, tending to livestock, hearing the night sounds of the bull frogs around the pond, and pouring all my memories into my fine art.  Most of all, I LOVE whole foods straight from the fields that nurtures the cells in the body, mind, and soul with its taste, smell, and crunch. But, I particularly love the science around whole body nutrition and the connection it has with regeneration, especially how good nutrition starts from the soil and reaches to the tongue. For over 25 years I have not only lived that life as commercial organic produce farmer, but a leader in my community working to link the gap between agriculture and nutrition. As a Farmer, I know agriculture, and in particular, food systems, provide food and nourishment for all human beings and thus have a foundational role in each persons nutritional level. Every week I saw my customers either personally dealing with health issues or trying to add nutrition into their meal plans. I was asked repeatedly, "What is the best thing to eat for this condition or how do you prepare this whold food?" Often they knew what they needed to do to improve their health but were stuck in some way. Rather than making the lifestyle changes that could improve their health, they ended up in the revolving door of healthcare, fast food and a stressful lifestyle. As time progressed their health declined. I saw this over and over week after week, as a farmer raising whole food I felt so frustrated and helplessbecause I knew the food I raised could nourish on a cellular level.

This experience fueled a desire within me to discover how I could help build a healthier community through the addition of whole person nutrition that would overflow into a lifestyle change. Thus bringing forth, noutrishous health.

What I learned is that whole body nutrition, Lifestyle Medicine principles, and health wellness coaching was the KEY piece of the puzzle to unlock the door and change the road that individual were on. The door of transformation was being thrown wide open!

No matter where your journey in life has brought you, there is always a bend in that road that can bring you back to a wholesome, joyous, healthy you if you so desire. Using Whole Body Nutrition, Lifestyle Medicine principles, mindfulness, self leadership and spiritual connection to your essence is what you will be immersed in while working with me.
