Meet Paula

 My Story 

Life as a litigator came with a price — chronic stress, very long hours, questionable eating habits and little time for self care.  After a very stressful and unsatisfying career as a litigation attorney, I chose to stay home to raise my girls. It wasn’t until motherhood that everything seemed to unravel. Giving birth to two children in less than 2 years on the heals of a decade as a litigator sent my already depleted mind/body spiraling towards rock bottom. The lack of meaningful insight and/or solutions from traditional medical practitioners ignited my passion for reclaiming my health in ways that required peeling back the layers and balancing what had been a very imbalanced system and lifestyle. The transformative care I received from several integrative practitioners fueled and solidified my desire to pay it forward and embark on a new career path.  

During my nutrition studies at MUIH, a series of personal events highlighted the shortcomings of traditional cancer care, events that kindled in me the aspiration to be part of the solution. Once I connected with the integrative and naturopathic principles of oncology care, I was hooked and sought further education from the Oncology Nutrition Institute where I received my certification as an Oncology Nutrition Consultant. The totality of my education, as both lawyer and nutritionist with specialized oncology focused training, coupled with life experience gives me a unique set of perspectives and skills to use on your behalf.
