Encouragement, understanding and affirmation are also need to be present to provide parents with essential emotional support.In 2013 she found the power of healing foods, and Be Well Clinic was born. Using the GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) healing protocol, she has helped herself and many others find deep healing and previously unknown levels of health. In 2016 she published a book that explains, in an easy-to-understand way, how the body heals, and what food has to do with it.
