All about me
A ten year veteran of the natural products industry, I have over sixteen years experience working with the public. Since 2004 I have been employed fulltime with ReNew Life Formulas, Inc., a leading supplement company based in the Tampa Bay, Florida area, although I do maintain a small client base that I am able to work with in my spare time.
I subscribe to the idea that our body is telling us what we need, but often we dismiss that voice, seeking instead to silence the symptom, rather than address the cause. So if optimal health comes from within, my role is as educator, helping you my client, inform yourself, so you can make BetterChoices and informed decisions when it comes to alternative health and integrative medicine.
As you can see here, I have my credentials as a Nutritional Consultant & Digestive Care Educator. I am also a published author and curriculum developer, and have been an avid blogger since 2004. If you are interested in my writing services, you can find examples of my work on my blog.
I am DSHEA Compliance certified, a member of the AANC and currently pursuing continuing education as outlined below. I have worked on all sides of the natural products industry, from salesperson, to buyer, from manager to educator. I would love to help you find your own path to greater health.
