I am a Registered Dietitian with a Master’s Degree in Nutritional Science. I’ve lived with PCOS for over 15 years, and I know personally how frustrating this condition can be and how it can affect your quality of life. Many people living with PCOS often feel broken and that their body has betrayed them. The good news is this condition can be managed and these symptoms minimized or eliminated entirely with diet and lifestyle changes. Are you ready to move away from anxiety at mistrust around your body and start to truly feel at home in your own skin?

Hi, I'm Brenna! I work with adolescents, teens and adults who are struggling with disordered eating, recovery from chronic dieting, binge-restrict cycles, body image concerns and wanting to be able to pursue health without obsession. It's common to be interested in or passionate about food, health, wellness exercise - but when those interests become inflexible, or don't allow for you to spend time and feel present doing other things that are important to you, it can be a sign to reach out.
