Prenatal Nutrition Nutritionists and Dietitians near Columbia, MD

Ever since I was a child, I have been passionate about cooking. Much of my passion probably has to do with growing up with a mom who is a professional chef. Now, I enjoy teaching others to plan and prepare healthy, home-cooked meals. Planning meals for fertility, prenatal nutrition, women's health, hormones, diabetes, PCOS, kidney disease and heart health are my specialties. In addition to individual counseling, I lead grocery store tours and cooking classes and diabetes talks. My personal and professional background provides the ideal support you need to make changes, and offers realistic solutions to the challenges of daily life.

In the past, I struggled to understand good nutrition and waded through many diet trends without benefit.

I want to be your trusted resource and help you develop a simple eating strategy you enjoy.
