Personal Mission – To awaken the human spirit to choose mind over fork and develop a positive relationship with sustaining foods that enhance overall wellbeing.

Personal Vision- Envisions a world where no one abuses food to silence pain; where health and beauty is not defined by a number, and where everyone chooses to nourish their mind, body, and spirit in order to achieve their full potential.

Personal Belief- Believes that true health is more than the absence of disease or finishing a marathon; it is a state where you have a positive relationship with sustaining foods and choose to nourish your mind, body, and spirit in order to fully embrace and enjoy all that life has to offer.

Personal Prayer- That you may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that you may have the full riches of complete understanding, order that you may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasure of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:2-3).
