She graduated from the Respiratory Therapy Program at American River College in Sacramento, California, as a Respiratory Care Practitioner and is a Licensed Respiratory Therapist. Willie also graduated from Bauman College, a California State Licensed Institute, as a Nutrition Educator and a Nutrition Consultant. Her training included 750 hours of education. She was also a teacher's assistant at the college for four years helping students in the nutrition program. Her education increased the understanding of health issues that related to food and provided a holistic, whole food background that is scientifically based. She has worked with adults, infants and children in acute, emergency care and rehabilitation as a therapist. She now works with children and adults as a nutritional counselor seeking a dietary program to improve their health, heal an illness, or just lead a healthier lifestyle.
While working in a hospital setting, Willie felt that the patients needed more "individual" counseling in the importance of healing with nutrition. She believes that the dietary program must be designed to suit each individual's needs and lifestyle. She works with a specific system to help her design an individual food program for each client..
