Hi, I’m Janice!
Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
IIN Certified Health Coach
Mom of 3, autoimmune warrior
I help parents of growing families improve their chronic health conditions so they can experience freedom from a life of debilitating symptoms and get back to making lasting memories with family and friends.
My dedication to community…
I believe in the power of food to nourish your body and community. I'm actively involved with Carnation Farms, a community-based hub for regenerative food and agriculture that educates and empowers the work of culinary, food, and farming professionals. I also share my knowledge as a Nutrition Coach with Vertical Sports Maui, and bring nutrition education to seventh graders at Doris Todd Christian Academy. When I'm not coaching, you can find me in the Farm to Fudge kitchen, crafting delicious treats made with fresh, local ingredients.

Learning how to navigate health while being sick can be incredibly overwhelming and stressful.
I know… I’ve lived it!
Getting diagnosed with Graves’ disease shortly after the birth of my second son meant that not only was I caring for a new child, but I was constantly fatigued, facing major weight fluctuations, losing my hair, unable to sleep, and struggling to show up for my family the way I wanted to.
The smallest of tasks were utterly exhausting for me… loading the dishwasher, pushing the stroller, swapping out the laundry, watering the plants, pushing my kids in the swing…
Only those of us who’ve struggled with chronic illness or autoimmunity can truly understand what it is like.
My doctors helped and guided me in many ways, but they couldn’t offer me the kind of healing support I was searching for as I always had the underlying curiosity of why things weren’t functioning the way they should in my body and how it got this way. I figured, if we knew that then couldn’t we find ways to truly correct it? Kind of like reverse engineering?
It became clear that in order to get the answers I needed and the results I wanted, I would need to start educating myself.
I started researching alternative approaches to supporting autoimmunity and experimented with diet and lifestyle shifts until I found the ones that worked. Slowly, my body began to find balance again. Through my own self-care, I was able to reverse my autoimmune symptoms and not only become healthier for myself, but for my family and those around me. You deserve the same and I want to help you experience it for yourself. It is possible!
As my health improved and I got better at navigating the healing journey, I kept hearing so many others struggling with chronic health issues and autoimmunity as well and started to realize how much my experience could help people – that I could be the support system and health advocate for other parents that I wished for but never had!
This pull eventually led me to integrative health and inspired me to pursue certifications in nutritional therapy, health coaching, and AIP coaching.
The ability we ALL have to make profound shifts to our health through proper diet and lifestyle practices is so powerful. It is literally LIFE CHANGING. This form of preventative care frees you from being at the mercy of disease management that includes medications and their side effects.
Would you prefer to be in control of your health, or have your health control you?
