Your Guide to Well Being thru Holistic Nutrition
Why I became a Holistic Nutrionist
T
hroughout
my
career
I
have
been
concerned
with
healthy
communities
and
individuals.
I
started
my
career
in
social
services.
On
a
voluntary
level,
I
was
involved
in
the
formation
of
the
Self-help
Food
Bank
in
Cambridge,
Ontario.
After
completing
a
Masters
degree
in
social
work,
I
was
the
director
of
the
Social
Planning
Council
in
Cambridge.
I
was
involved
in
the
organization’s early years to initiate much needed research, planning and community participation in the development of local human services.
M
y
life
changed
radically
when
my
12
year
old
daughter
developed
a
mysterious
ailment.
It
took
three
years
to
find
effective
treatment.
Then
it
took
another
three
years
to
bring
her
back
to
good
health.
During
those
first
three
years,
some
doctors
told
us
this
was
all
in
her
head,
even
though
she
was
sick
most
of
the
winter
and
spring.
She
went
from
being
a
good
student
and
competitive
athlete,
to
a
girl
who
could
not
get
through
a
school
day
and
had
no
energy
for
any
physical
activity.
Two
years
into
this
ordeal,
I
was
so
distraught
that
I
gave
up
a
paid
job
to
focus
on
getting
her
well.
In
my
search
for
answers,
I
discovered
a
natural
healing
process
through
Holistic
Nutrition.
While
completing
my
studies
to
become
a
Registered
Holistic
Nutritionist,
I
learned
how
to
help
my
daughter
re-gain
her
health.
Today
she
is
a
healthy,
active
young
woman.
It
could
very
easily
have
been
different
if
I
had
not
learned
how
to make her diet part of the healing process
T
hese
experiences
gave
me
a
firm
conviction
that
we
can
take
more
charge
of
our
health
through
nutrition.
However,
I
know
first
hand
that
good
nutrition
is
not
always
obvious.
Many
people
need
help
to
determine
the
right
diet
for
them.
Through
individual
nutritional
counseling
and
speaking
engagements,
I
am
committed
to
helping
others
achieve
their
optimal
well
being.
