OVERVIEW

 Lee made her home in Portland, Oregon in 1991. She brings her passion for healthy food preparation and helping others to her practice as a Nutritional Therapist.

WHOLE FOOD NUTRITION


After many years of career (and soul) searching, Lee Ann discovered her true love - helping others discover the connection between whole foods and personal, vibrant health. That passion includes an exploration to find the best, often unique approach in resolving a variety of health situations. Through one-on-one connections, Lee Ann provides her clients with creative and personalized nutritional and culinary services, using a holistic approach that incorporates natural food and Ayurvedic principles.   Her clients are empowered, gain an awareness of the holistic options, and discover improved bodily functions and the motivation to continue the process, knowing they are supported throughout their road of discovery.

EXPERIENCE/EDUCATION


Life Thyme Health & Wellness began as Supper Thyme, a personal chef service, founded by Lee Ann in 2003.  In 2006, Lee Ann became a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner through the Nutritional Therapy Association based in Olympia, WA.  She is about to be certified as an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor through Kerala Ayurvedic Academy based in Foster City, CA. Supper Thyme and Life Thyme Health & Wellness have merged with the intention of providing whole food nutritional and culinary services based on the best of nutrition, holistic wellness, and whole foods. Lee Ann has blended her nutritional education and supportive coaching skills with over 30 years of expertise in research, writing and cooking to create a unique blend of nutritional and culinary services.

 

Lee Ann’s goal is to bring balance back into her clients’ lives. This includes:

 

  • restoring healthy digestion;
  • discovering the root cause of depleting health issues;
  • detoxifying the body as it is ready;
  • ongoing coaching support;
  • assessing and identifying other lifestyle issues that may be influencing optimal health.

 

As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Lee Ann delves into the issues concerning medical, dietary and family history, lifestyle influences, digestion, energy levels, and exercise.  She may also gather information from functional blood, saliva panel,  and/or hair mineral analyses, to complete the client’s assessment.  Her experience as a personal chef has given her the unique ability to glean from her clients what foods, tastes and cuisines they enjoy or dislike, what they are willing to try, and what they want or need to avoid, allowing for a creation of menus and recipes that are delicious and meet the the needs and desires of her clients.
