Nicole Fiamingo

Nicole has an MBA Degree from La Salle University, Philadelphia, PA. She has held a Project Manager Role for the past 6-years and voluntarily leads her company’s wellness program. As a certified yoga instructor, Nicole has always had an interest in the overall well-being (mind, body, and soul) of her community. You can find her in p...op-up classes around the Philadelphia area. 

Growing up on what she refers to as a “self-proclaimed” farm – her passion for sustainable nutrition to be easily available for all, blossomed at a young age. She observed that many of those around her hadn’t had the opportunity to experience farm-fresh food and thus developed biased food-preferences and many common allergies that nutritious food could help eliminate. 

Struggling with her own food allergies (gluten, dairy, corn, and so on) Nicole developed a personal blog to help others experiment with local-seasonal foods and turn them into a nutritious and mainly allergy-free dish. 

Nicole is excited to join the community and is truly passionate about educating others on food-relationships.

Taylor Miller  ​​

GlutenAway was started 4 years ago by Taylor Miller, a teenage gluten-free blogger with celiac disease.

​"Since getting diagnosed with celiac disease at age 13, it's always been a passion of mine to help others who deal with the same struggles as I do. I know that families, kids, and teens all deal with some sort of adversity when going gluten-free. That's why I started my blog as a teenager to share my experiences and show that if a teen can do it, so can you."
