About Me

Daniella Knell  

I am an allergy educator, community advocate and mom of two children managing food, animal, medicinal and seasonal allergies.  I provide adult and children's allergy awareness classes, national telephone workshops, product videos and one-on-one consulting.  

My goal is 'alleviate food allergy fears one classroom at a time' through a positive, uplifting and partnering approach.  The strong support networks and community advocates this provides are invaluable. 

My personal exposure to allergies involved my yearly childhood run-ins with poison ivy.  

With this limited exposure, I was little prepared for the changes which came in 2003.  Little did I know the impact dairy-based yogurt could have when smeared all over a tiny, innocent face.  Hives were everywhere.  

From that moment forward, my dedicated passion has been to take the fear out of managing food allergies through increased education and a motivational attitude. 

At Smart Allergy~Friendly Education, my goal is to make your personal journey easier by realizing the vast resources available to you, such as:

• food and non-food products
• books
• educational tools and ideas
• recipes
• community building opportunities

Living with food allergies isn't the end of eating as you know it.  It's the beginning of expanding your knowledge of the allergy~friendly world around you.

I hope the path I have traveled will make your adventure easier, and that you find my blogs useful and educational.
