In August 2006, when I started Allergicgirl.com, my blog about eating
out in New York City with serious food allergies and dairy and wheat
intolerances, I thought, I’m alone. But I was wrong. I quickly discovered a
growing community of allergic girls and guys, celiac chicks and dudes,
gluten-free men and women who were all trying to do the same thing:
eat safely with joy.
I made it my personal mission to help others like me find that joy.
A licensed social worker since 2000, I established my foodallergy
coaching practice, Allergic Girl Resources, Inc., in 2007 to work
one-on-one with clients with dietary restrictions who want to overcome
fear and anxiety and find a way back to loving and enjoying food. And
in 2008, I launched my Worry-Free Dinners program to bridge the gap
between restaurants that want to serve the food-restricted community
and food-restricted diners who want to reclaim positive and enjoyable
dining-out experiences
