BIOGRAPHY:

As a Registered Nurse, with a Masters Degree in Holistic Nutrition, and Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition^R and a Certified Nutrition Professional, Kathi has 40+ years serving clients in numerous settings.

Kathi spent last 12 years working and training at Alternatives-A Center for Conscious Health with  Dr. Patricia Ryan MD, CCN.  She was a staff nurse from the inception of the clinic working closely with the clients in a teaching and support capacity. For the last 5 years Kathi served in the Nutrition Department supporting clients in making healthy dietary choices and lifestyle changes.

From 1987-2002 Kathi was employed at Midwest Dermatology Clinic, first as a staff nurse, then as nurse manager, and finally clinic manager.  Again she has extensive experience teaching and hands on care with the clients.  As Clinic manager she handled human relations, was the liaison between insurance, billing, laboratory, nursing, front desk, and medical records departments.

Her goal in each of her career paths is the ongoing good health of the clients, through teaching; hands on care, advocacy, and follow up.

Kathi’s goal for Eat Well Nutrition & Wellness is education and support of dietary practices and lifestyle changes that promote long range client health and the health of the planet – the true meaning of holistic nutrition. By promoting a wellness model and prevention of disease, the client can harness their own innate healing abilities for increased energy, body composition management with First Line Therapy, decreased inflammation and heart health. The ultimate goal is self-empowerment, "the tools to take care of yourself".

Kathi has been a Registered Nurse since graduating from Clarkson College of Nursing in 1972. 

She received her nutrition degrees from Clayton College of Natural Health in Birmingham, Alabama - a Bachelors of Science in 2006, and a Masters of Science in 2011.  The National Association of Nutrition Professionals grants her Holistic Nutrition Board Certification.
