My goal is to help people of all ages develop and maintain a peaceful relationship with food. Eating is meant to be enjoyed. However, eating can often become complex, confusing and stressful.

Let's optimize your nutrition while honoring hunger cues and cravings.

I find it extremely rewarding to see how nutrition can positively change people's lives. Let's get started on your success story.

I've seen firsthand the tremendous impact nutrition can have on your brain and body, after suffering a concussion with a multitude of related symptoms, I felt lost. Nutrition saved my brain, and improved my memory and concentration. In the process my gut health also improved, sugar cravings went away, and I slept better. I suffered a lot of different symptoms after my concussion and know my nutrition played a huge role in my healing process and where I am today.

My clients are people who are looking for a cutting edge approach to nutrition and health. Whether your issue is wanting to lose weight, have more energy, sleep better or you are dealing with a more difficult health challenge, I am dedicated to assisting my clients with a proven track record of success.

For nearly 10 years, my body rebelled against my conventional low-fat, convenience food diet with IBS, intense anxiety, constant cravings, and chronic knee pain (all before the age of 25!). It wasn't until I learned about the healing power of a real food, anti-inflammatory diet and discovered some food sensitivities that I saw a dramatic relief in my digestive and joint symptoms, plus an improvement in how my brain functioned. Now, I am passionate about helping others find their own relief, breakthroughs, and successes in their journey of healing using simple, nutritious foods!

What we put into our bodies ultimately affects how we feel and how healthy our body is... I often compare our bodies to an engine of a vehicle. When working well...all is good...when not working well, it can be a crisis! We can drive around in our vehicle when its making funny sounds or random lights are on telling us something isn't quite right, but... if we do this too long, our vehicles stop running and then we have a crisis! Our health and bodies are no different......

After more than 30 years in the field, my passion for nutrition continues. Seeing a client find relief from pain and exhaustion is a joy! Plus, I can relate to their desperation to get their life back. In 2005 I put my knowledge of nutrition to the test when, two weeks after invasive back surgery I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shortly afterwards I discovered multiple food allergies. Once those were removed I stopped three prescription medications and feel better than I had in years. I absolutely love bringing that relief to clients!

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Are you wanting to make changes with your diet and lifestyle but don't know where to start? Navigating this complex food world can be daunting, it's my mission to provide a non-judgemental, caring space to help my clients get started. Through my work with hundreds of clients and through navigating my own health and healing journey, I have learned to embody a simple, approachable, non-diet, food-first philosophy.

I specialize in functional and integrative nutritional approaches for chronic health problems. My ideal clients are those suffering from mental health concerns, digestive disorders, fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue, headaches/migraines, PCOS/infertility, autoimmune disorders, and other chronic conditions. Working together, I help my clients to learn about their personal nutrient needs, identify adverse food reactions and implement healing plans to revive health and well being. I offer specialized testing to understand your individual biochemistry, and recommend nutritional supplements on an individual basis. No cookie cutter programs!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the different messages in the media around nutrition and exercise? Does it feel like all the information you’re exposed to just leaves you feeling confused, defeated, or frustrated?

Are you looking for guidance on how to nourish your body with nutrition and movement in a way that works individually for you, while taking into account all the factors that make you unique? If you relate to any of the above, I am happy you are here :)

I'm passionate about helping individuals develop & maintain a peaceful relationship with food. I whole-heartedly believe that proper nutrition plays an important role in keeping one’s mind and body functioning to the best of its abilities, but that it doesn’t need to be as complicated as society might lead one to believe. I believe in an "all foods fit" approach and will strive to help you optimize your nutritional intake while honoring your body's hunger cues & genuine cravings. I'm a Health At Every Size RD and focus on behaviors with food over the number on the scale - because there is so much more to health than what you weigh!

I LOVE helping people live healthier. My style is highly comprehensive - looking at the many pieces that make up our nutritional health. I am skillful at helping people reach a healthier weight (especially those who have attempted other ways unsuccessfully). I am also passionate about topics like brain health, good mood foods, preteen/teen nutrition, ADHD/ADD, confidence and self- esteem, nutrient deficiencies, eating best for your DNA, food sensitivity and anti-inflammation recommendations (Leap MRT testing). I also have a significant clinical background so eating for healthy aging and disease prevention is also in my wheelhouse.
