Wellness factors have a big impact on both your attempts to get pregnant, as well as thriving in a healthy pregnancy. Nutrition is an important piece of this puzzle, as it is a significant tool when conceiving or preparing for a family.

If you are looking for permanent solutions for your reproductive health, or for fertility and pregnancy concerns, it might be the perfect time to see a Registered Dietitian!

I'm a Registered Dietitian who specializes in plant-based nutrition with a Masters of Public Health in Nutrition and Dietetics.

I believe that successful nutrition therapy involves interaction between the mind and body. Using mindfulness and Intuitive Eating approaches, I can help you connect with your inner wisdom, explore and understand your relationship with food, and learn to choose foods that are right for you.

Rather than focus on weight, I focus on the many factors that contribute your health such as satisfaction, psychological well-being, and body awareness.

How are you really feeling? Struggling with an eating disorder and not sure how to change? Overwhelmed by all the “should/shouldn’t” foods you constantly hear about including/avoiding? Feeling so over the diets, and wanting to nourish while letting go of the stress you feel around eating and food? Lost in cravings that you can’t seem to explain? Want to make peace with the skin you’re in? Ready for life-long change, but don’t know where or how to start? You deserve a life where food can be deeply enjoyed (no guilt, no shame!), and your body can be celebrated for all of its brilliance!

If you're a busy mom who is stuck trying to get your child to eat better, then you may be caught in the eating responsibility trap. If you're stuck here, I'm willing to bet that you have tried bribing your child to eat, or lost your cool and threatened them, or lost sleep over whether they are getting enough nutrition. This is happening likely because you feel the most responsible for how much they eat, and you're worried about things getting worse if you don't intervene. If this is you, don't worry. I have helped tons of parents overcome their child's nutrition struggles. Message me to see if you're someone I can help also.

I love helping women reach their full potential by removing the barriers and obstacles their bodies may be struggling with. My goal is to help patients go from feeling "fine" to feeling "fabulous". I often see women who have normalized feeling sub-par, whether it's low energy and sluggishness, unexplained weight gain, bloating and poor digestion, PMS and heavy periods, or the dreaded changes of perimenopause and menopause. As women, we often struggle putting ourselves at the top of the priority list, so I take my role of empowering and supporting women very seriously. I would love to work with you if you resonate!
