Practitioner and Community Directories

Our Practitioner Directory comprises individuals who have enrolled in our training courses and passed our certification examination; for either or both of our course offering - BioIndividual Nutrition FOUNDATIONS and Nourishing Hope for KIDS. You'll find clinicians from varied healthcare disciplines including practicing nutrition professionals and other practitioners (MDs. NDs, etc.) that incorporate diet and nutrition recommendations.

Our Community Directory includes non-professionals, including "Nourishing Hope MOMs" - these are passionate individuals that have enrolled in our training, though do not attain certification. Rather, they are learning and applying BioIndividual Nutrition to aid their own families; some coach other families and aid their communities in varied ways. Nourishing Hope MOMs are valued resources, though are not in place of a bona-fide healthcare practitioner.

Bio:

Born in Italy and raised on a traditional diet, I was exposed from a young age to biodynamic farming and culinary arts. After moving to the United States in 2006, I was distressed to find my health deteriorating rapidly upon abandoning my dietary roots for the Standard American Diet. Conventional medicine did nothing to alleviate my health concerns. I was introduced to the work of Dr Weston A. Price, DDS and began to study nutrition independently. My studies led me to the Nutritional Therapy Training Program. I graduated from the Nutritional Therapy Association in 2009 and opened a private practice in San Diego. In 2011 I studied under Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride and became a Certified GAPS Practitioner (CGP). In 2013 I became Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition®. I strongly believe in a holistic approach that emphasizes a nutrient-dense, whole food diet aimed at reversing the damage caused by our current national eating disorder and stress-filled lives.

I started work in Autism as a front line behavioral therapist with children while I was in junior college. From that day forward I knew that Autism was not a job, but a calling for me. I worked my way up through the ranks as a Clinical Supervisor to executive level management, where in my last position I oversaw the day to day operations, of a corporate Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) company.
