Catherine McMenamin Niggemeier is the founder of Plant to Plate Education Corporation, a certified business offering education and inspiration in plant-based nutrition. In 2014, at the age of forty-six, Catherine switched to a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle and lost eighty pounds in less than a year.

After obtaining a certificate from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies at Cornell University, Catherine started her first cooking class with five people and eventually built Plant to Plate into a thriving business, teaching more than 1,000 clients how to eat whole-food, plant-based.

With the support of her husband, Steve, Catherine expanded her business and education. She is also a certified instructor through the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s Food for Life program. Catherine is an ambassador for the documentary Plant Pure Nation and works diligently to promote this important film so that others can hear the message of one of the most important health breakthroughs of all time.

She has a love of learning and focuses her business on bringing the best information to improve the health of her clients. She is a certified health and wellness coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and has expanded her business from teaching to include public speaking and employee-wellness programs. She has been featured on television, appearing on News 12 Long Island and Newsday.

When Catherine isn’t sharing her message of health with others, she enjoys traveling and spending time at the beach, playing tennis, or anything outdoors with Steve and their two plant-loving daughters, Hannah and Ava. She also shares her love with her constant walking companion, her golden retriever, Darby. She lives in the beautiful town of Sayville, New York, where she has felt the love and support from many people in her community. She is thankful that life took this turn and is excited about having a positive influence on the future health of others. She continues to create new recipes and share her message of health with others online.
