“I could not be doing what I do without my education at Bauman College. I am still in contact with a few of my teachers and I know that I have the support and friendship necessary to continue helping people achieve their goals of optimal health.

I loved my educational experience at Bauman College! The teaching staff was incredible, the classes were small enough that I felt like I was an integral part of the class, and the curriculum was very thorough. My nutrition and health knowledge increased 10-fold over that time. I really stretched myself, gaining confidence to do uncomfortable things like oral reports. Since graduation, I have been giving lectures on a regular basis.

Bauman College introduced me to new aspects of nutrition, and to many related educational programs that have since expanded my education, post Bauman College. I have gone on to complete AFMCP (Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice) sponsored by IFM and have attended most of the Functional Medicine Symposiums. I also attend the Orthomolecular Society Conference every year. Through these and many more conferences, I continue to gain information, and make wonderful contacts that give me the confidence to help my clients achieve their goal of optimal health.

For 11 years, I have had my own private nutrition practice, Functional Nutrition, in Carmel, California. My practice is very good. I provide a natural individualized method for staying healthy, living longer, and achieving ideal weight. My clients are very compliant and they see great progress. I work along with a handful of doctors and am right now doing a group on weight loss/maintenance with a doctor from Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City. My website offers nutritional information, newsletter articles, recipes, and informative books to read.

I offer an innovative, integrative approach to attaining optimum health and body weight, using nutrition and proper exercise to increase vitality and to help rebuild and maintain the integrity of the immune system. I enjoy and am deeply interested in a “client-centered” approach to health and healing, focusing on the unique biochemical and emotional needs of individuals, offering nutritional consultation, education, relapse counseling, and personal coaching—promoting a concept of health that goes beyond the absence of disease. I also work with extreme athletes in various sports: professional boxing, amateur swimming, crewing triathlons, cycling, and marathons.
