We all know we should be eating more veggies and plant foods... but it can be confusing or hard to pull off. 

For example, where do we start?

What should we cook when we're trying to eat less meat or chicken?

What about protein? Can we get enough on a more plant based diet?

These are all great questions — and we're covering them inside Part-Time Vegan. 

Through this online course, you'll go from feeling overwhelmed or confused about veg-friendly meal planning and prep... to feeling more empowered about your dietary choices, as well as confident making plant powered meals quickly and with less hassle.

• You're ready to discover your personal Part-Time Vegan Type so that you can start upgrading your health and feel amazing...

I created Part-Time Vegan because for years, I struggled with my health, and I was overwhelmed by trying to figure how to transition to a healthier, more plant based diet. 

As a former sports marketing executive, I know what it's like to juggle a busy schedule and try to take care of yourself. For years, I worked crazy hours, and lived on arena hot dogs, pizza and Diet Coke.

I didn't yet realize how my lifestyle choices were affecting my health, and I struggled with migraines, acne, gallbladder pain, irritable bowel syndrome, high cholesterol and pre-diabetes. 

Eventually, I also experienced multiple miscarriages and infertility. 

Fortunately, I was able to give birth to our son right after I turned 40. 

Right then, I vowed to take better care of myself. As an "older" mom, I realized I needed to make my health a priority if I wanted to live the longest, healthiest life possible. 

So, I started making small changes, trying new foods, and allowing myself to make mistakes along the way. 

Through nutrition and lifestyle choices, I was able to resolve my health issues such as migraines and high cholesterol. In addition, I feel much more energized and empowered than I did when I was eating processed foods and neglecting self care. 

Over the years, I became a certified health coach, and earned my certificate in plant-based nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and eCornell. I'm also on television, as the Healthy Eating Expert on KPTV here in Portland, OR. 

Today, I love taking what I've learned over the years, and helping others supercharge their health through coaching, recipes and my signature course, Part-Time Vegan.
