In addition I have excellent results with autoimmune and other inflammatory diseases such as cardiovascular and diabetes.

Are you fed up with feeling like food is running your life?

Nutrition is more than the essential nutrients required for life, it is a way of living in balance of the body and soul. Together we navigate your specific journey to optimal health.

My goal for you is to learn to incorporate foods that speak to your body and your lifestyle allowing you to live your best life.

Are you someone who has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease or has new allergies and is overwhelmed with where to begin with your diet?

Not only do I want to work with you to help you reach your goals and find food freedom with your diagnoses, but I want to teach you the reason behind the "why" so that you feel confident and comfortable with your diet!

My ideal patient is someone who wants to learn about clean eating and healthy ingredients to put into AND onto their body and how just one ingredient can promote health or disease. For example, spinach or chicken may be toxic to my patient but healthy to someone else. Through customized nutrition treatment plans, genetic testing, application of Chinese medicine (when clinically appropriate), and meal planning my patients learn how to eat compatible, real foods for their body to eliminate the source of symptoms and health issues.

Would you like to work on weight or chronic health conditions: diabetes/pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypothyroid, fibromyalgia, arthritis, skin reactions, GERD/reflux, gout, kidney stones, migraine, or brain fog?

This regularly results in reducing or eliminating the need for medication. It repeatedly comes down to what you eat -- or don't eat — as well as stress management and exercise. My goal is to help you enjoy better health now and to reduce the risk of long-term complications.

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!

I’m a Registered Dietitian who does not believe in diets. I do believe that it’s equally important for nutrition advice to be both evidenced-based and personalized.

I've been practicing since 1994 and have had the honor of meeting with and learning from hundreds of clients. What I've learned is that most of us don't need a lot of "education" about what a healthy lifestyle is. What we benefit most from is help putting together a plan and the supports to follow through long term. This is my passion. Taking care of yourself changes over time.

My primary goal: help you love food. I grew up in a household where food was fun, varied, and adventurous. My Mother was a home economics teacher turned preschool teacher.
