After years as a litigation lawyer and mediator in Montreal and a terrible downward spiral into autoimmune disease, a new passion for the healing powers of nutrition found its way into my life after researching ways for me to heal. Nutrition was pivotal to my healing, so I committed to the study of Nutrition. I changed my path and gave up my title as a lawyer to focus on my true calling.
I chose to study Holistic Nutrition at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition in Toronto. But what I soon realized is that my journey into Nutrition was truly only the beginning of a lifelong journey of studies in the fascinating and ever-growing field of health, diving deeper into Functional Nutrition, Functional Medicine, Functional Genomics, Neuroscience, PsychoNeuroEndoImmunology (PNEI), Epigenetics, Herbal Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine and finally into Human Potential Coaching, Human Design, the Science of Well-Being, NLP, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Positive Psychology, Mind-Body Medicine, Core Shamanism and Energy Medicine (Reiki). It soon became clear to me that my passion and niche lay both in the field of Functional genomics/Lifestyle Genetics and psychoneuroendoimmunology- the science of the mind-body connection, nervous system and the science of longevity.
