This is Your Food Allergy Empowerment Journey
Do you believe the saying "You are what you eat"? Let's explore your food allergies together to find out what that means.
What is LittleBit?
You've probably heard this more than once... "You can eat this, right? It's just a little bit of cheese." Or a little bit of nuts! A little bit of eggs! If you have a life-threatening food allergy or allergies, you know that a little bit of an allergen is a lot too much. If you are struggling with your food allergies or you are struggling to manage the allergies of someone you love, I can help you. Check out my services below.
My Background
I have lived with life threatening allergies my entire life and have experienced bias, discrimination, and general nonchalance. But I’ve also found true superhero’s and empowered myself by being curious and informed. I take my predicament seriously, but I don’t allow it to define me. I make it work and I can help you do the same.
As a certified nutritionist with training in food allergen safety I have brought my experience and knowledge to cafés, restaurants, juice bars and individuals to create allergen safe environments in the home and out in the world. I am a confident, experienced international traveler who has had a few brushes with food allergy episodes and am committed to making sure that doesn’t happen to others.
Let's focus on YOU!!!
I provide customized allergy lifestyle coaching services to meet your needs. If you don't see what you are looking for, don't hesitate to reach out. Let's chat!
