She also helps companies and schools educate around—and create a culture and environment that truly supports healthy eating.

Inspiring children to cook and expand there horizons on food is very important. She shares this message through virtual coaching and video courses, by speaking at corporations, schools, and events, and through her recently-released video courses.
