Our Team
The Nourishing Hope team are dedicated professionals who have come together to proactively help children and families who are living with autism. We believe that in order to bring about change in the health of these children, it is imperative to effectively apply autism diet, nutrition and supplementation principles. We are at the forefront of nutrition intervention science and bring that information directly to you through our one-on-one practice and information exchange through our published work, web site, public events, newsletter and facebook group.
