As a health-conscious consumer, former wine server, and certified WSET professional, I know what it feels like to struggle with diet and health related questions about wine.
Frustrated to find science-backed and practical answers, I have invested thousands of hours over the last five years studying first-hand organic and biodynamic wine practices of leading producers from Europe, South America, and the USA. My health and diet information is sourced directly from registered dieticians and credible studies rather than headline and marketing driven sources.
My ultimate goal is to personalize wine experiences so you can confidently select a glass that aligns with the health and lifestyle values of people you serve and yourself.
The lack of clear resources and courses on wellness and wine drove me to create The Natural Wine School. Through our focused, efficient and engaging courses, we have successfully trained over 200 wine servers and professionals who report immediate increases in organic wine sales averaging 15% and higher guest satisfaction.
