Like many people, I have had a complex relationship with food most of my life, starting at birth in 1957. My mother had post-partum depression and I wasn’t breastfed. I missed the bonding and attachment opportunity that comes from nursing, as well as the physiological benefits of establishing a strong immune system, digestive function and good gut bacteria. I also lost the psychological, mental and emotional benefits of a healthy relationship to taking in nutrients and nurturance. I believe this early experience is the root cause of my lifelong digestive and food challenges.

“It was such a pleasure to work with Anne on the 10-Day Detox Cleanse--the easiest and the best cleanse I've ever tried!  Anne is passionate and dedicated in her quest for knowledge and adept at support of others focusing on overall health.  She is warm, insightful, and empathetic, and provides expert health guidance and information.” —Elisa E. 

I’ve always had a great interest in cooking and food, as did most of my family.

As a young teenager I started cooking professionally, and eventually found my way into the wine and food industry in New York City.  Then, in my 30’s, the stress of my current life and the lack of foundational health from infancy culminated in a lot of health challenges.  This led me down a path of seeking answers to my own health challenges for four decades, seeing hundreds of health practitioners, taking lots of different supplements and trying many different diets and food plans.  

In 2003 I came upon an effective and comprehensive system for supporting healthy aging, immune system support, detoxification and digestive and gut health.

This system has played a big role in my health, after a lifelong experience of digestive and immune-system challenges and food sensitivities.

Feel free to contact me directly if you would like to talk about your own needs for nutrition and healthy eating.
