I treat each person in a holistic manner balancing mind, body and spirit for optimum health. I am dedicated to finding the best wellness approach uniquely suited to each individual's needs to make lasting health changes for eating disorders, IBS, Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, migraines, gastrointestinal issues, autoimmune disease, cardiovascular health, Hypertension, high cholesterol, sports nutrition and weight management issues.

Ideally, a client who presents with disordered eating and needs a combination of psychotherapy, nutritional therapy, and bodywork or fitness training. Using a holistic approach, I address underlying issues and triggers behind the disordered eating. I teach clients to identify their feelings, use non-food coping skills, awareness of true hunger cues, and become more connected to their bodies by separating food from feelings. Together in a safe, supportive environment, we will explore barriers to change such as body image, exercise resistance, and emotional eating.

My philosophy in a nutshell: Deciding what to eat shouldn't be complicated. In a world where food and wellness are the new religion, I’m as undogmatic as they come. I practice from a Health at Every Size paradigm, and believe that nurturing (and healing) our relationship with food is just as important as WHAT we eat. I help women who are already carrying the world on their shoulders prioritize their health once again without restriction, deprivation, or shame. By focusing on our relationship with food, in addition to overall nutrition, we quite literally bring joy back to the table.

My nutritional coaching approach focuses on guiding you to a healthier lifestyle by enjoying whole delicious foods, eating for balance and energy ,and healthy weight management. I look at the "whole" person and all the reasons we struggle with taking the right steps towards better health. Our work together will be about long term lifestyle changes rather than the quick fix diet mentality. We will design a plan unique to you , incorporating nutrition, exercise and stress management strategies. Together we can get you on a path to more optimal and balanced health and a life you love!

My ideal client struggles with chronic dieting, disordered eating, and body image concerns, and is ready to make peace with food and find a peaceful, productive relationship with their body. My clients want to feel empowered to intuitively care for and love their bodies- without dieting or restriction. There may also be concerns such as desire for weight loss, PCOS or a missing period, or metabolic concerns such as prediabetes or elevated cholesterol. Together, we find a path toward self-love and a guilt-free food relationship while focusing on your desired health goals.

I specialize in intuitive eating, gut & hormones. Your relationship with food does not have to be complicated. You may be exhausted from dieting most of your life and found that the constant focus on food has affected your life. You may think about food all day & are in a place where you want to get back to living your life vs. constantly focusing on food. Maybe you have recovered physically from an Eating Disorder but feel like there is more work to be done to break fear around foods. I have helped many people that have felt hopeless overcome fear around foods, stop binge eating, and find a healthy, joyful relationship with food.

Are you dealing with chronic digestive issues? Are you struggling with an eating disorder, binge eating, or yoyo dieting? Is your supplement/meds list growing, yet symptoms staying the same? Are you looking to take a holistic approach to your health? If any of these questions hold true for you, you’re in the right place. As someone who overcame my own eating disorder & gut health challenges, I get it. Having gone through & healed from those experiences has provided me the knowledge and compassion to guide others in doing the same.
