Welcome to Whole Plant Foods

I have a single subject California teaching credential in health and business. I completed my training as a raw food chef at Living Light Culinary Arts Institute and have received a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University. I am trained to teach the Physicians Committee Food for Life classes, which include healthy weight management, cancer and diabetes prevention, employee wellness, and kids health. For more information, click here. I taught nutrition education at the Fort Bragg Unified School District in Fort Bragg, California from 2005-2015 and have worked as a subcontractor for public health since 2013. In that time I changed my diet from better than average omnivore to a mostly whole plant foods diet. I feel very passionate about eating healthfully and sharing what I have learned with people who are interested in eating a diet that helps them regain their health.

My husband supports me with the nutrition classes I teach. He is a retired math teacher and enjoys gardening, foraging and preparing and cooking healthy food with fresh ingredients right out of the garden.

We spend a lot of our free time together watching health and nutrition videos, and reading relevant materials.
