About the Author

Hi, I’m Anne-Marie

I’m an integrative health and nutrition coach, wellness consultant, and founder of A-M Sunshine Fit. With a background in sports marketing and years of experience working alongside professional athletes, coaches, and clients, much of my career has centered around performance, nutrition, and helping people feel their best.

But my love for baking began long before any certifications or career paths. I grew up in a lively Irish-Italian family, surrounded by aunts, uncles, cousins, and kitchens filled with homemade treats. When I transitioned to a gluten-free, dairy-free lifestyle, I became determined to recreate the recipes I grew up loving without losing the memories and traditions behind them.

Rooted & Rising brings those two worlds together—the family recipes passed down to me and the gluten-free, dairy-free versions I created for the way many of us eat today. I can’t wait to share them with you!
