Biography: Dianne earned a Master of Science in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport. Her philosophy is that nutrition isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. The body, mind and spirit are all actively involved and overlap in the pursuit of wellness. Diet, exercise, stress reduction, beliefs and spiritual renewal are all integral to finding the wellness formula that's right for each individual at a given point in his/her life. Dianne's holistic approach seeks to integrate dietary, environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors in an effort to improve general health and wellness.

Prior to relocating to Central Oregon, Dianne spent nearly 20 years in Alaska working in public relations and marketing. She is a passionate cook and enjoys the abundance of fresh, clean food available in Central Oregon. She and her husband enjoy the outdoors with their two dogs.
