Tonya's path has led her to her mission of helping parents learn how both diet and common toxins in the home can affect their child's health. As a childhood leukemia survivor and now the mother of three (one with multiple learning disabilities, including ADHD), her goal is to work with parents to help them optimize their child's health and lessen the symptoms behavior and attention issues through simple dietary and lifestyle changes. She does this through working with clients both individually and through the online program she created, "Healthy Home, Healthy Kids." She has been writing about the health implications of common chemicals in our homes and their effects on our children since 2008, and now blogs on her website at www.goneholistic.net.
