Behavior Modification Nutritionists and Dietitians in Iowa

Do you find yourself thinking about food all day, "overeating" at night, not being able to keep that one food in the house, and preoccupied about your weight? You are not alone in these struggles. Unfortunately, these things feel normal in our culture, but you don't have to have a bad relationship with food any longer. As a registered dietitian and nutrition and body image coach, I've helped so many women step out of the obsession and chaos and into peaceful food freedom. Imagine a life where you can trust your body, eat food you love and not feel guilty, and respect and value your body as it is.

I am a Registered Dietitian who provides medical nutrition therapy via telehealth. I am passionate about helping individuals be their best self, both physically and emotionally. I believe food plays a major role in our physical and emotional health, and work to help patients find lifestyle changes that are attainable and individualized. I use a functional approach to find the root cause of your digestive issues. As a dietitian I create practical, individualized goals to help clients build a healthier life, not just a fad diet. I live in the Des Moines area and I'm licensed to see clients in Iowa and 19 other states!

My aim is to not only get you your goal body, but to address and alleviate any symptoms you're experiencing through nutrition. What I offer is a lifelong method to approach nutrition and fitness so I am the last resource you'll need to live a happy and healthy life!

I work with women who struggle with various hormone imbalances related to thyroid health, sex hormone or adrenal imbalances and various gut issues. I take a functional approach to health and wellness so often times, various symptoms in different areas of the body are related so improvement in one area affects another area and provides relief of other symptoms.

I take an inclusive approach to all foods and body types, providing my clients with a safe space to speak freely about their habits and the flexibility to create their own definitions of healthy.
