My name is Karen Jordan, founder of Berkshire Food Allergy Consulting Services.

I started learning about and researching food allergies eight years ago when my daughter Katie, developed a life-threatening allergy to Peanuts.  I felt alone and unprepared to handle her food allergy…I knew absolutely NOTHING about food allergies and suddenly was put in the situation to learn EVERYTHING ASAP because it was a matter of life and death.  I began to work with the teachers in Katie’s day care center [and later, her elementary school], in order to provide the most appropriate guidelines for multiple situations that arose.  From coordinating  her care from the bus stop to the bus, then to school, then to the classroom, then recess and lunch, not to mention numerous holiday and birthday celebrations and field trips…for those who have food allergies, these are all things that most people take for granted, yet are “red flags” to my family and other food-allergy families.

My goal is to help other families who are dealing with food allergies for the first time, or experienced families having issues that they need advice and/or professional support.  I combine my work experience with my knowledge of food allergies and nutrition to fulfill a need in Berkshire County.  My professional experience has been in human resources [including health insurance, payroll, and benefits]. management, and employee training.  I am also certified as a Nutrition Specialist.

I also have many programs tailored to various professions, including schools, teachers, restaurants, Summer Camps and babysitters, as well as an extensive library of resources and reference tools.
