She founded Dr. Organic Mommy to assist every parent in making healthy decisions for themselves and their families.

Implementing non-toxic changes in her life, she began educating others about her journey. She continues her research and exploration with "When Millennials Become Moms." Along with her co-host and Dr. Organic Mommy co-founder Emily Raiber, they engage with leading experts, share personal struggles, and navigate the vast amount of information available.
