Living & Thriving Guest Nikki Everett, R.O.C.K.

When Nikki Everett’s twelve-year-old daughter, Erin, was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2008, she had never heard of celiac disease. From there, what first was a problem, turned into a passion.

In 2009, Everett chartered the Charlotte chapter of Raising Our Celiac Kids, or R.O.C.K., so area kids could gather for dances, parties and outings to gluten-friendly restaurants. She also started a blog that offers resources on gluten-free living and a web site with tips and recipes.

But she didn’t stop there, in 2010 she launched the Gluten/Allergen-Free Wellness Event which presented nationally acclaimed celiac disease researchers, experts, vendors and chefs from around the country. The event has since spread to nine cities in 2014.

Thank you,
Nikki Everett
