Living with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities presents a unique set of challenges that can often be daunting.

My Expertise:

My name is Ilana (she/her). I am a coach for folks with Celiac Disease and those who love us. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2016, after being sick for years. Cutting gluten out of my diet was challenging, and still I remained chronically ill for 5 more years - as I was exposed to cross contamination in a shared kitchen at home, used unsafe shampoos and cleaning products, and consumed risky meals - especially when traveling or eating outside the home. It took me over 6 years to fully refine my gluten-free lifestyle. This made me a celiac expert. I use this expertise to support others to transition to health and wellbeing as quickly and seamlessly as possible.
