About Nutricia

 

Nutricia Consulting was founded in 2006 by certified health coach and herbalist Tricia McCauley. Tricia is a graduate of the Tai Sophia Institute, the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and is certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. She currently practices at Healing Arts of Capitol Hill, and is the resident herbalist at Common Good City Farm in Washington DC.

Severe food allergies began Tricia's exploratory journey with food and cooking almost 20 years ago. Allergy tests and medicine did not affect the itchy red hives that attacked her body for hours at a time. Finding alternate foods, learning to cook with brand-new staples, and eventually cutting all gluten, corn, soy, garlic, and canola oil out of her diet, taught Tricia a great deal about self-care and patience, and made her a self-taught expert on dietary transitions.

Tricia has worked in the Washington, DC theatre community since 1992 as a performer, producer, and teacher. As an actor, she is a company member at the Washington Stage Guild, the country's premier presenter of the plays of G.B Shaw.

Tricia's herbal and nutrition education, her background of dietary exploration, and her theatrical experience give her a unique toolkit. She brings creativity, compassion, humor, and personal understanding to her clients, whether they are undertaking their own dietary transitions, learning to breathe from the diaphragm, or learning their way around the kitchen.

Tricia also enjoys traveling, gardening, making lotions & potions, riding her bike, hanging about with her cat, and playing the mandolin very badly.
