“My experience at Bauman College led me to change careers and devote my professional life to teaching nutrition and working with private clients in my own consulting practice.”


I loved being a student at Bauman College. I loved the subject matter as well as coming together each week with a group of intelligent and engaging people with whom I shared a common passion. My experience at Bauman College led me to change careers and devote my professional life to teaching nutrition and working with private clients in my own consulting practice.

I am currently teaching Nutrition Educator classes at the Bauman College Penngrove location. I also have my own consulting practice, Nutrition Focus, where I work with adults and families coping with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity problems. I also work with adults in the areas of cardiovascular health, weight management and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I most enjoy sharing information with people that allows them to feel better and explore new ways of eating and thinking about food.

A client of mine, aged 16, came to me complaining of difficulty staying on task in school as well as problems with acne. I began by teaching him how to remove foods such as commercial dairy, high fructose corn syrup, food dyes and chemical additives from his diet and replace them with whole foods, raw dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables and fish oil. Within 30 days he began to see a marked improvement in his skin. The focus issues took a little longer, but within three months of changing his diet he found it easier to stay on task in school. He particularly benefited from avoiding sugar at lunch and found his ability to focus in his afternoon classes improved a great deal.

I learned the background information I needed in order to develop a theory upon which to base an eating plan for a client. Obviously I also learned the material I now teach in the Nutrition Educator classes.

I completed the Nutrition Consultant Course in June, 2003 and the Nutrition Instructor Course in June, 2005. I also have B.A. in Political Science and Sociology from UC Santa Barbara and a J.D. Degree from Golden Gate University. I am an attorney and a member of the State Bar of California, currently on inactive status.
