As a classically trained chef with a Ph.D. in Mind-Body Medicine and a Masters in Human Nutrition I aim to empower and improve the quality of life of West Michigan’s cancer survivors, their loved ones, caregivers, and people living with chronic disease. I do so by focusing my interests on research, education, and integration of evidence-based nutrition and mindfulness modalities.
