Hi! I'm Ciara ("Kee-ra") and I'm a Registered Holistic Nutritionist
living with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).
I was diagnosed with this disease as a teenager and it has shaped my life in many ways.
​
Part of the reason why I studied nutrition was to figure out how to live my best, healthiest life as someone with a chronic illness. I wanted to feel empowered & (somewhat) in control of my health again!
​
I am passionate about kidney nutrition and I want to help others feel more confident in their health journey by leveraging real, natural food rather than implementing restrictive diets because they don't know where else to turn.

Try Kidney-Friendly Smoothies
Smoothies are a perfectly efficient way to add vital nutrients to your diet.
I created my FREE Smoothie Guide with busy people in mind as well as those with kidney disease.
​
I only use whole, natural foods in my recipes, including sources of protein (no protein powders found here!)
