What I love about the ARC is the relief it gives Members. The relief from suffering, pain, and guilt is so uplifting. Training in the skills needed to reduce suffering is empowering. In our hour together, we will create new knowledge and a path forward for you based on the science of processed food addiction.

What Joan Ifland says about Holly:     Holly's Byron Katie Hour is the most popular of the week for good reason!  She's all heart and she heals our hearts.

Believing I was healthy, I never thought about how consuming fast foods on the run could impact my health. After all, I felt healthy.
That is, until one evening in 2012, I overdid it, and my health took a landslide the following day. I woke up in the middle of the night and was violently ill. I had so much pain that I couldn't even lie down on my back. My body had literally shut down.

For 3 months, the only foods I could tolerate were raw vegetables and fruits. All other foods triggered pain and nausea. I had test after test, but all came back negative.

Taking matters into my own hands, I began researching online for dietary options – vegan, raw, vegetarian, all along avoiding all processed foods.
I enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), where I learned over 100 dietary theories. About 4 months into the course, I learned about the elimination diet and discovered the root cause of my pain and the inability to eat most foods. And that was a gluten intolerance.

As a type 2 diabetic, in hindsight, I saw how my past diet lacked many of the foods nourishing my body. So I completed a 6 month course in Health Gut Therapy also through IIN.

I then took Dr. Rita Marie's 3-month program, “Sweet Spot Solution”, where I finally put my diabetes into remission.

I was then introduced to Dr. Joan Ifland's science-based program and never looked back.
Having struggled with emotional eating, cravings, and binge eating, I have combined my healing process along with the ARC to bring hope and freedom to those in need.

My mission is to be authentic in everything I do by honoring and empowering myself and others. I'm here to uplift you and help motivate you to take positive steps, sharing this journey together.

As a mother, grandmother, minister, and food addict. The ARC has become a place of safety and inner growth for me. There is so much to learn and support you on your recovery road. The science is thorough, but doesn’t stand alone, it’s coupled with a synergistic strength of community. Addiction likes to isolate but recovery flourishes in a strong, healthy community and that’s the gem of success behind the ARC. 

In the ARC you’ll discover the roots of food addiction and why this is not your fault. You’ll change the way you think and exchange old neuro-pathways for new, recovery neuro-pathways. The resources, caring and supportive hosts, personalized guidance, carefully crafted ARC exercises and ongoing skill development all contribute to the success of the Concierge Services and the ARC Community.

Here we recognize the complexities of each individual and help you to tailor a food plan that perfectly works with your body. Learn how to eat those nutritious foods on your food plan and how to leave the world of processed foods requires skill, not just white-knuckling, which we’re all too familiar with. Only 20% of recovery is the food, the other 80% is everything else.

Currently, I work in the ARC as a FARA Advocate and would love to guide and support you on your journey to conquering this stranglehold of food addiction. 

It’s time for letting go of the weights in your (Spirit, Soul (mind, will, emotions & Body) that have held you back. If you’re willing, I’m willing to be there for you on this journey.  Let’s make this happen, let’s get on the road to recovery and beat Processed Food Addiction together!!!
