Educator and mother of two, who lives in British Columbia, Canada. A health, environmental
and humanitarian activist, she is deeply concerned

crises.

chronic health problems, leading her to explore
how food could heal as well as harm. In particular, discovering the role that gluten and lactose intolerance

lends a depth and sensitivity to her understanding of
the emotional, social and practical concerns facing
those with dietary limitations.
She has recently written a book called Yum: Plant based Recipes for a Gluten free Diet, and launched a website: The web address is: www.yumfoodforliving.com
