about

I am a Certified Nutrition Consultant (2009) and Nutrition Educator (2008) from Bauman College, Berkeley, CA.  I am also a Certified Holistic Health Coach (2009) from the Institute of Integral Nutrition, New York, NY.  That said, since 1994 I’ve had a strong interest in health and nutrition and have had a variety of learning along the way.  My most recent adventure is having had a healthy pregnancy and successful, unmedicated home birth of my son, Dimitri.  Health is a daily journey, and it’s a privilege to bring joy and discernment to the path.

The Bauman Eating For Health™ (E4H™) system models a diverse, plant-based diet that provides a full range of health-promoting nutrients.  It integrates both ancient and modern nutritional approaches with foods that are fresh, local, seasonal, and organic.  It can be vegan or omnivorous, raw or cooked, evolving over time and with changing needs.

The Integrative Nutrition Food Pyramid is adapted from the USDA pyramid, and emphasizes the importance of high-quality vegetables, fruits, complex carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats and water.  Lifestyle factors that create optimal health circle the pyramid.
