Health Professionals in Mecklenburg County, NC
Every person deserves to have a peaceful relationship with food and their body, and I love helping my clients get there (while acknowledging the systems that limit it for many of us).
By combining mindfulness principles with integrative/functional nutrition and meeting yourself where you’re at, we can create slow, sustainable, realistic changes that support YOUR personal body.
This is nutrition for EVERY body, full-circle.
If you’re ready to stop constantly thinking about food, obsessing over ingredients, counting calories, and feeling frequent guilt/shame about your food choices/body, I’d LOVE to help you!

If you struggle with a complicated relationship with food—whether through restriction, bingeing, or constant stress about eating—you may feel frustrated and overwhelmed. For more than 20 years, I’ve walked alongside people just like you who want freedom from food rules, guilt, and shame. What you really want is peace: to feel confident eating without second-guessing, to trust your body, and to focus on living your life rather than battling your plate. Your goal may be better health, but also to rebuild confidence, self-compassion, and balance in a way that lasts.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by conflicting fertility advice online? Are you feeling both financial & emotional stress from fertility testing that provides no clarity or answers? Are you feeling isolated because friends & family don't understand the complexity of infertility and/or pregnancy loss?

Acupuncture is for someone who is open to receiving treatment and is committed to their personal health and growth. It is important that a person who receives acupuncture is willing to put the time and effort into healing his or her body through alternative medicine. Acupuncture has amazing healing properties and takes equal efforts on both the acupuncturist’s and the client’s part to maximize treatment success. I treat a wide variety of health issues such as pain, anxiety, infertility, food sensitivities, and seasonal allergies. I also specialize in pediatric health issues for infants to adolescents.

If you feel stuck with food—overeating, stress eating, or constantly starting over—you’re not alone. And it’s not about willpower.
Many of my clients know what they “should” do, but something keeps getting in the way. Diets haven’t worked long-term, and more discipline isn’t the answer.
They’re ready to understand why food has taken on a bigger role in their life—and finally create lasting change without guilt or shame.
