my inspiration

My personal food allergy journey began in my college years, where I first learned of my almond allergy. Fast forward (many) years later, I have two amazing children, both with multiple food allergies.

​

While my son's allergies to sesame, sunflower seeds, and cashews are mild, my daughter's allergies to egg, dairy, sesame, and multiple tree nuts are much more severe, challenging our entire family.

​

Diagnosed with allergies at a only 5 months of age, my daughter Mia also had raging, angry eczema, and nearly daily allergic reactions at daycare.

 

Today, with two anaphylactic episodes under our belt and many tearful social events, I am beyond proud to be on the other side of letting food allergies control our lives.

Not only do I feel empowered after using epinephrine on her little 5 year old body and stopping the progression of her reactions, but we no longer fear food. My brave pre-teen is on her own journey, now enjoying baked egg and dairy after starting Xolair in November 2023.

​

No two stories are alike, but what I can say, is that you are not alone. I deeply understand the stress and anxiety that tags along to a food allergy diagnosis–both as a mother and a food allergy sufferer. I am dedicated to empowering children and adults through nutrition and educational counseling.

​

Let's take control of food allergies, together.
