I’m a teacher at heart. I’ve always loved children and have worked with them since I was a teenager. I followed my joy and earned my masters degree in education and in some capacity I have been teaching for over 25 years. When my children were small, I made the decision to become a certified holistic health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I quickly learned that while giving my my children what they need from me to help nourish their bodies and their spirits - unconditional love, my presence, and conscientious parenting – is simple, it's anything but easy. As a holistic health and parent coach, I help parents raise healthy, self-reliant, generous, passionate life-long learners who make the world a better place every day.

During my training as a medical doctor and pediatrician, I witnessed many children benefiting from the advancement of western medicine; however I also realized that many children’s health care issues go beyond the traditional medical paradigm. This was true, even for my own health! I've studied medical acupuncture, cranial-sacral therapy, reiki, and mind-body techniques. Now I use nutrition and homeopathy to help children heal from allergies, asthma, eczema, ADD, and so much more! My goal is to help YOU find REAL health for your child, so you can stop putting band-aids on your child's symptoms and instead find solutions that help your child heal from the inside-out.

I learned that castles and fame were overrated, and my mission in life was much greater - I have simply always loved kids and loved being a kid myself. Looking back, it seems natural that a lifetime of art and modeling would lead to photography, but I still am surprised. Photography found me. Fairy tales come in all shapes and sizes. My art is about inspiring kids to EXPRESS ~ it is the ART of CONNECTING. I see each child as if they were my own. I choose to see their beautiful spirit and it works every time. I'm never disappointed and I never fail to tear up when i review a session. Some may say I'm looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. I prefer hot pink...with rhinestones. See how I see the world - through my photos at Melissa Hutchinson. |

I am a storyteller. Nothing thrills me more than gathering the facts, boiling them down, and crafting a story that is crystal clear, effortlessly educating and always a little entertaining. That passion served me well as a broadcast journalist for more than 15 years when I covered the White House, Capitol Hill, and international affairs. That experience taught me that everyone, every business, every movement, every thing has a story. You just have to be able to see it, and more importantly, say it. Saying it (and writing it) is what I do. I founded Brand Spoken Communications to help individuals and businesses find their stories, and share them with the world on paper, on the air, and online. I give their vision a voice and I love it. Along the way I've become a published author, an entrepreneur, and, my favorite, a mom. My children have completely rewritten my story and it's so much better than anything I could have imagined for myself. I was forced to get REAL when my infant son was diagnosed with food allergies, anxiety, and eczema. With Dr. Sue and Angelle at nourishMD, I was able to reframe the food I was preparing for my family and discovered the miracle of supplementing traditional medicine with the wisdom of holistic healthcare. I was able to help my son completely control his allergies and clear his eczema. The next challenge is putting down the cell phone more to get on the floor and build a tower of blocks, but I'm getting more REAL as a parent every day! |

I’ve done a lot of things in my life – started by first business when I was 17, bungee jumped over the Zambezi River, ditched a 7 year legal career in favor of my true calling – helping other entrepreneurs catapult their businesses using extraordinary marketing. Yet nothing I’ve ever done has compared to the journey of raising a child on my own, and the challenges we all face as parents navigating the tidal wave of choices for food, healthcare and parenting. Get Real For Kids should be our war cry. Our mantra. Our personal call to arms. Its time for parents everywhere to join the cause. Our children need us to 'get REAL' for them - now more than ever.

With more than ten years of experience in graphic and web design and e-commerce implementation, I founded YapaWeb in 2008. As E-commerce & Graphic Communications Manager for a professional remedy line for health care practitioners and spas, I've worked with both corporate and individual clients developing solutions to improve their online presence. Thanks to my wife Cristina, an aromatherapist, and her line of essential oils and aromatherapy products, we barely use conventional medicine. We get REAL with food by shopping from our local farmers market, and have raised our son on REAL food since birth. I love supporting websites like getREALforkids and others where I see a genuine approach from the founders to contribute to society. Connect with me at Yapaweb, and my wife Cristina at Aromandina. |

My passion for fresh food led me to attend Schoolcraft College Culinary Arts, where I continue to serve as an instructor. After graduating and working in a number of fine dining establishments throught the Metro Detroit Area I decided to launch 2 Unique Caterers & Event Planners in the Fall of 1991. My enthusiasm for REAL and pure food then inspired me to open pure food 2 U, an organic meal delivery service in 2008. I am a regular guest on Fox 2 News, write and contribute to numerous publications, and have received numerous culinary awards and medals. I am proud to have been of service to two U.S. Presidents, numerous professional athletes, celebrities, CEOs and wonderful customers in southeast Michigan and beyond! With the creation of pure food 2 U, I live my passion - cooking REAL local, organic and sustainable food that nourishes the mind, body, soul. I believe as a wife, mother, chef and culinary educator that it's important for me to stand up and advocate for eating REAL foods. |
