Setting the swimming world ablaze with 2 world records in one day propelled Anita into the fast lane of success at the young age of fifteen. After swimming for the cycle (gold, silver, and bronze) in the 1992 Olympic Summer Games in Barcelona, many health challenges hampered her attempts at returning to an Olympic level. For a decade she struggled, many days unable to get out of bed, on a path of
sickness and sadness. She was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, but later discovered that severe food sensitivities and autoimmune issues brought on her symptoms. It was only when a direct connection was made between the food she ate and how she felt, that she was able to get back on track to a healthy and happy life. Traditional medicine’s failed healing attempts drove her towards a personal quest for wellness and a passionate understanding of the healing power of food. Her profound experiences with illness, healing and professional athletics have given her a unique perspective she shares with clients. After completing her undergraduate degree in Communications and Spanish from Arizona State University she pursued nutrition education at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in Tempe, Arizona. Anita is a Certified Holistic Nutrition Specialist, Life Coach and accomplished motivational speaker. Anita is also an elite member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Anita coaches clients on how to become the CWO (Chief Wellness Officer) of their own lives through her company. Anita completed 2 NFL seasons as Nutrition Consultant for the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL Football Team. She works with various elite professional athletes including UFC fighters, boxers & world-class swimmers as well as major corporations around the country. Her mission is now to help others avoid the journey she traveled. By teaching whole food nutrition and allergy elimination, she helps people achieve their goals and not be held back by avoidable health issues. She educates her clients on how to eat foods they enjoy AND help their bodies feel good, look good and perform at optimal levels.
