Testimonials
Manager Central Marketing Area
Kroger Natural Food Summit
Rebecca did a fantastic job explaining celiac disease and gluten free living to our natural foods managers. She was entertaining and was able to clearly explain a sensitive subject without offending the summit participants. Her talk was timely and engaging, which is exactly what we were looking for in a speaker. We look forward to working with Rebecca again.

I feel way less alone. I can feel the weight being lifted off my shoulder. A big S/O to all of your amazing ladies - the gfree community is simply amazing :)”
