Who Am I?

I am an MBA and a Clinical and Holistic Nutritionist, who is a passionate advocate for the art of self-care. In practice since 1985, my Naturopathic approach encourages clients to find solutions to health problems, not just relieve symptoms. I am the owner of the Diet & Health Center and Center For Life, the largest whole health center in San Antonio, Texas.

Having struggled with health problems since my teen years, I started my search for alternative health support in the 1970’s, and haven’t looked back since! I attend seminars all over the country, and am a dedicated researcher of the latest natural health news. I apply everything I can to my own search for improved health, and make that knowledge available to others who want it. Welcome to my world!

As an entrepreneur for many years before my health problems limited me, I owned and operated seven small businesses, including an import company and several retail businesses. I was a runner-up for the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce Small Business Person of the Year in the 1980’s, featured in articles in Glamour, Venture, Inc., and Money magazines. I owned the largest dinnerware and cookware store in the Southeast for 7 years and had a lot of exposure to different styles of cooking.

My career in business was fun, but it took it's toll on my health. I began seeing alternative health practitioners from many areas of expertise, all over the US and even Canada and overseas. Eventually I began to realize that I knew more than many of them, and had an ability to see The Big Picture rather than just seeing one area of health at a time. That's when I made the career shift and devoted myself to the study of Naturopathy full-time.

I've been on a gluten-free diet since 1995, and have been grain-free and dairy-free for several years, following a Paleo Diet. I have studied many different diets and have formed my own version of them all, called The Diet For Human Beings. My DVD explains everyhting I know about food in a pleasant video filmed in my home. Enjoy! And pass the DVD on to freinds and family that need help with their weight and health, but don't know who to turn to.
