Our goal is to guide you through it all with research-backed strategies that empower you to take an active role in your healing. So you can maximize your recovery and feel like yourself as much as possible.
The thing is, everyone’s experience with cancer is incredibly unique, so it can feel impossible figuring out where to start.
The right foods have the power to improve your immunity, detoxify your body, and support your healing. Because of this, nutrition plays a critical role in helping your body bounce back from treatment.
If there was ever a time to care about your food, now is it.
Instead of relying on cookie-cutter suggestions or wading through conflicting information online, you’ll receive completely individualized support.

What’s included in each stage specific support plan
Dear Dionne,
The best thing any one of us can give another person is a sense of peace, particularly when it is in and amongst chaos. This is what you do. This is what you’ve been doing for me for more than a year. Learning that you have cancer is like being bludgeoned by the boogie man. Understandably, our cultural attitude about cancer and cancer treatment is one made up of great fear, misunderstanding, and dread. We know the horror stories more than we know the triumphs. We lack basic knowledge about how cancer and cancer treatments work. When we hear the word “chemotherapy” we conjure up an image of a dying person in a hospital bed. These are some of the conditions that can make a cancer diagnosis a true personal and communal crisis. And, when you hear the words “you have cancer” the floor truly melts away and you fall feet first down a well of endless questions, needs, and fear. Dionne, your expertise and support is a parachute and an all-weather protective jumpsuit that makes that cancer fall endurable. Your advice and presence slows the process down and allows your clients the space and time to literally get a grip on what is happening. The tools and knowledge you impart allows them to begin moving forward and through the fear instead of continuing to fall down into it. You know things that most of us don’t and the generosity and positivity with which you offer that information is truly peace-making and deeply empowering. I wasn’t planning on making this testimonial a letter to you but I honestly feel like I could write one every day and never manage to adequately express just how important and helpful you’ve been to me. I couldn’t praise or recommend you enough to anyone facing this fall.
Thank you!! I love you!

Frequently Asked Questions
“When working with some health professionals, they often have a trajectory for the entire experience that they don’t pivot from. But after my second surgery (which was a big one), I wasn’t recovering easily. I was experiencing severe brain fog and my digestion had completely slowed down due to the effects of anesthesia, antibiotics, and pain medication. Dionne recognized right away that we needed to shift our approach. She came up with additional recommendations on the spot which showed me the breadth and depth of her understanding of the human body and the reactions that come with these conditions. It was incredible and so, so gracious.” - Lauren G.
“Working with Dionne has taken a huge weight off of my shoulders and my quest for answers.”
“I’ve been able to just concentrate on my healing while receiving this incredibly personalized, holistic guidance that also empowers me to enjoy food. I’m hardly having any of the side effects I read about on the message boards, which were terrifying to me. My oncologist tells me I’m doing everything right when it comes to my lifestyle and nutrition which amplifies the benefits of my medication while minimizing the negative side effects. It’s not debilitating, I'm back at work, and I actually feel like myself. I owe so much of that to the monumental support Dionne gives me.” - Allison G.
“Dionne has helped me cut through the overwhelming noise around cancer and nutrition so I could get to a better place, quicker.”
“Hi Dionne… thanks so much for all your help and being the person you are soulfully. I enjoyed our conversation today. Thank you so much! I couldn’t do all this without *you*… Grateful is an understatement, overwhelming at times too often than one would hope. Dionne… It's CLEAR!! I wanted you to know that there’s been no change from the March 28th scan that showed treatment was effective and there was no sign of glucose uptake whatsoever ...And I’m obviously writing you to say with all my heart, thank you!” - Cindy S.
“Grateful is an understatement, overwhelming at times too often than one would hope.”

I turned to Dionne because I knew that nutrition was the one thing I could use to take action to boost my strength, immunity and future health.

“As a result of working with Dionne I was able to have a good and clear understanding of the importance of nutrition throughout my treatments and as a result my blood counts, my immune system, my kidney and liver function stayed steady and well enough to survive and finish all my chemotherapies, going through surgery and radiation with Dionne’s kindness and positive attitude also gave me emotional support. Her quick response if there is any questions or concerns.” - Parisa C.
“Dionne’s kindness and positive attitude also gave me emotional support. Her quick response if there is any questions or concerns.”
“In my particular case I did not have any hesitation. My Doctor personally recommended Dionne and introduced me to her. In fact, I was really looking forward to getting started and working with Dionne. I have been working with Dionne now for almost two years. As I mentioned previously, my particular cancer tends to recur quite often. Over the past two years I have had recurrences, however, they were very tiny and remained low-grade with no sign of progression. My most recent cystoscopy and urine cytology, I was 100% clear. I truly believe that a very large part of getting to where I am today is my anti-inflammatory protocol, supplement and lifestyle changes that Dionne recommended for me.” - John C.
“My Doctor personally recommended Dionne and introduced me to her.”
“I now have confidence in my ability to cook nutritious meals, choose the foods that work best for my body’s digestion, and supplement as needed. Dionne created and refined protocols along the way – all with the goal of aiding my cancer recovery and preventing recurrence. I recommend working with Dionne to anyone that is battling a cancer diagnosis, or that is caring for someone with cancer. She is very easy and pleasant to talk to, and she strives to find the best solutions for your individual needs. Her knowledge about the effects of cancer treatment, how the body responds during and after treatment, along with a multitude of helpful resources, are sure to guide anyone on a healthier journey. I am so grateful for how much better I continue to feel.” - Marybeth L.
