Did You Know? IBS is simply a name for symptoms but tells us NOTHING about what's causing them! For 15 years I was told there was nothing I could do about my debilitating GI symptoms– pain, cramps, bloating, all the other things no one wants to talk about. “Everything looks normal. You’re just going to have to live with it. Try managing your stress.” Sound familiar? If so, you’re in the right place. Because I get it! I’ve been there. I’m also now symptom free… why? Because IBS is B.S.! I got to the root cause and you can too!

My ideal client realizes that they want greater wellbeing and they want to use self-care & healthful nutrition modalities to reach their aims.

I take an objective approach to food with a focus on mindful eating. From a place of curiosity and care, I hope to help you identify how food makes you feel - both how it fuels and satisfies you. I believe that food and eating impacts us mind, body and spirit. As a dietitian, I understand the nutrient density of foods plays a role in health promotion. That being said, I believe that eating food simply for the joy of it and limiting stress around eating can be just as important. My intention is to provide you with straightforward yet gentle nutrition information as well as applicable tools and skills to help you eat and live well

My approach to care is simple. I listen to my patients/clients and try to meet them where they are. There is no sense in diving in the deep end if you've never even dipped your toe in the water. We all have to start somewhere, big or small, but I prefer small. I prefer building on these small goals, which eventually become successes that we can continue to build on. I believe that to be truly successful, we must create a strong foundation to build on. That way, if our blocks start to tumble, we know we have our foundation to stabilize us. As a practitioner, I prefer to look at the whole picture. Sometimes we may not even realize t

As an empathetic person, I deeply care about who who are as a person first, then what your health goals are, which I explore through asking questions to understand, drawing connections, and coming alongside you to empower you to be the best version of you! I view food and movement as medicine, especially in treating and preventing chronic disease.
