 Hello
and welcome to my website! Please take a few moments to
learn about me and my mission.
My Mission
To help women prevent and control diabetes with less
medication by finding a food & exercise plan that works for
them.
My Philosophy
Even though diabetes medicines are better and more abundant
than ever, I feel we are relying on them too much. Our
American lifestyle makes it difficult to get enough activity
and quality nutrition. To be successful with diabetes
control and prevention we need to overcome the temptations
of poor eating and no exercise. Long term success is key and
diets are not the answer. I feel the best success comes when
you have a personalized lifestyle plan combined with an
ongoing support system. My job is to help you find that
plan.
My Story
My passion for helping people with diabetes began in college
when I started to realize that many of the problems my dad
had been dealing with from diabetes could have been
prevented. He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes when I was
12 and has now lived with diabetes for almost 30 years. I
had gestational diabetes 12 years ago and have prediabetes
now. Since I do periodically monitor my blood sugars, I know
that staying active, good nutrition and weight control have
been critical in keeping diabetes from catching up with me.
