History
Green Gem was founded to provide NYC residents with affordable health and fertility care that resolves the underlying causes of physical ailments, rather than just palliates symptoms, and empowers clients to achieve lasting whole-body health. The founder, Rebecca Curtis, was a literature professor at Columbia University in 2007 when she contracted Lyme Disease and had to undergo one year of intravenous antibiotics and work with integrative doctors to recover. The experience inspired her to deeply research the factors that precipitate illness, and the habits, diets, and natural supplements that restore balance and wellness. After helping some 'infertile' friends to conceive and bear healthy babies, and helping colleagues to dissolve ovarian cysts, by putting them on individualized dietary plans and bespoke supplement protocols, she realized she loved being a nutritionist. She obtained her degree as a Holistic Nutritionist at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and SUNY Purchase.
