In a 1995 Nutrition in Medical Science Class, I discovered that statistically, African Americans suffered disproportionately from many chronic diseases. I made it my goal in this life to discover a solution to alter the trajectory of the problem. I now help African-Americans develop a proper relationship with the food they eat by incorporating culture into the recipe of active living, glorious nutrition and wellness!

Do you have a chronic health condition such as IBS, Migraines, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, eczema, or others? Since 80% of your immune system is in the gut, foods can act as "triggers" causing inflammation, pain, bloating, diarrhea and more. Your immune system is as unique as a fingerprint, so there is no one-size-fits all solution. What might give one person a migraine doesn't necessarily give someone else a migraine. I personalize my approach by combining nutrition, laboratory analysis and supplements (if needed). Most importantly I listen. You know your body better. Together we'll develop an approach that works for you.

I am an Integrative/holistic Registered dietitian Nutritionist with extensive training in Functional Medicine. If you are suffering from a chronic medical condition, and wish to find out WHY this is happening to YOU, and HOW we can ADDRESS the underlying issues in your unique physiology, and biochemistry, while taking into consideration your genetic profile and interactions with your environment (diet, allergies, pollution, toxins etc.), then functional medicine is the path that may provide you with most answers. Often enough, I implement functional lab profile, in order to obtain further insight into the underlying cause(s).

Dealing with constant digestive issues, brain fog, fatigue, aches and pains, skin issues, and just not feeling like yourself? You have tried many diets, supplements, even the latest trends in an attempt to feel better and it has just left you confused and disappointed. You want to feel well and you are willing to put in the work, but something just seems to be missing.

My clients come to me exhausted, burnt out, frustrated, and often with illnesses or symptoms that no one can explain. They know the impact of food and lifestyle on their bodies and minds, but can't seem to find what works for their unique needs or stick to any one-size-fits-all program. Many are depressed, anxious, and dealing with digestive and energy issues that affect their daily lives: either too tired or unmotivated to do much or feel like they are doing everything and going nowhere.

Are you interested in changing your eating style to enhance your health and well-being? Do you have high blood pressure? Do you need support changing your diet? Are you feeling energized and vibrant? Is your digestive system working the way you want? Making lifestyle changes can increase your energy and feelings of vitality. Are you curious what supplements would benefit your body? Do you have a family member or employees that would benefit from learning about wellness and health promotion? I can provide impactful nutrition coaching, cooking demonstrations, seminars, eating experiences and share my years of experience to help you.
