What were you doing prior to enrolling at Integrative Nutrition?

I was working a corporate job, feeling empty inside because somehow I knew I wasn’t on the right path.

As my inner world changed, my outside world changed as well. I decided to trust the process. I assumed my role as Health Coach from the beginning, and suddenly it became my full-time career.
