About Our Guest: Norma is a mother of three with first-hand experience of the positive impact healthy changes can have on one’s life. She’s also a vocal advocate for healthy eating and daily physical activity.
As a lifelong nutrition advocate, Norma assists with various California Champions for Change projects in the Solano and Napa area. Norma shares her experience and insight with her local community and encourages them to make changes as a family.
Norma’s passion for helping others establish healthy habits began several years ago when she found herself struggling with bouts of depression. Through counseling, she was able to identify that her unhealthy lifestyle was one of the triggers for her depression. She faced her challenge head-on and started making changes.
Inspired by her own transformation, Norma started her own non-profit, called Healthy Cooking with Kids (formally rebranded as Innovative Health Solutions in 2019). They teach cooking skills to children and encourage families to make cooking fun by doing it together. Healthy Cooking with Kids works with local health departments and school parent-teacher associations to develop nutrition education information. For more information visit www.innovativehealths.com.
“Take care of yourself, and then everyone else—you cannot give or be the best if you don’t tend to your own wellness first.”
