Hello!
Having experienced the trauma of witnessing my daughter’s near-death allergic reaction in 2009, I was led on a path of discovery learning to navigate the foreign and uncharted waters of parenting a child with anaphylactic food allergies. Having experienced everything from preschool to playdates, eating in public school lunchrooms and restaurants, travelling by air and sea… we have been through it all! I created this website to share our experiences and my expertise in how to live a normal life with severe allergies.
“EVERY THREE MINUTES, A FOOD ALLERGY REACTION SENDS SOMEONE TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. THE PREVALENCE OF SEVERE ALLERGY IS INCREASING STEADILY WITH A 50% INCREASE IN CHILDREN OVER THE PAST DECADE.”
In a world where allergies are becoming the norm, I am frequently called upon as a subject-matter expert to speak to severe allergy, anaphylaxis, and related disorders. The Allergy Mom® has become a go-to support for those looking for practical and relevant information about allergies.
If there is anything I can do to help you, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I offer a complimentary 15 minute consultation to anyone in need. Click here to book yours now.
In good health,
