With my previous position as adolescent dietitian for in higher levels of eating disorder care, I have a special passion for eating disorder work. I may have years of formal education under my belt, but what I will never presume to know is how you “should eat.” I love helping people find an eating pattern that suits their needs, wants, and circumstances. I practice with a Health at Every Size framework that allows you to explore your health values regardless of your body size.

Everyone has a unique food story, some are filled with joy or comfort and others with regret, shame and frustration. No matter what your relationship with food has been, I can work with you to make changes. If you have suffered with an eating disorder or engage in behaviors that you do not feel are "normal," let's talk and figure out how to make realistic changes that work for you. Even if you have been suffering with this for years, I can help. Do you have a diabetes diagnosis and need help with figuring out what or how to eat, do you have bloating, diarrhea and constipation and are frustrated because you don't know why?

I believe everyone has the right to live an energetic, symptom free life and have epic daily poops. Bloating, reflux, irregular bowel movements, gas, food sensitivities, chronic fatigue, weight fluctuations and skin issues are not normaI and are not all in your head. I help people struggling with chronic gut health issues overcome their symptoms through evidence based, plant centered nutrition strategies when conventional medicine has failed them. Together we will take an individualized, holistic approach to restore your gut health, calm inflammation and ditch the diets so you can feel confident in the way you eat, look, and feel.

Are you struggling with the diet cycle? Trying one after another but never able to keep the weight off? I'm going to let you in on a secret - diets don't work. You may experience success in the beginning followed by guilt if you "fall off" the plan, intense cravings and feeling unable to keep up with the strict rules of your diet, and so the cycle continues. If you relate to this maybe it's time to live a life free of diets. No more rules around food and movement. No more focusing solely on the scale. Let's heal your relationship with food and body. It's time to nourish yourself and find the joy in food again.

The diet that is right for you has no name. I know you’ve tried everything because I was you. It was not until I stopped working against my body that I learned I was in control of how good I could feel. I also know you don’t feel well. No one seems to understand why you’d rather stay home, or why it takes you so long to get ready. You don’t recognize yourself anymore. You’re tired of waiting for answers. Most importantly, you just want to feel normal again.

I will work with you to help make some gradual changes in order to feel good about yourself and see positive results. I am an experienced professional treating a diversity of patients and believe in treatment that includes a combination of evidence based therapeutic and dietetic practices. We will work together to improve your Diabetes, Cardiovascular, GI health, or relationship with food over time and help you to feel physically well. I have worked for many years with children and teens in addiiton to adults.

Do you feel like you’ve tried “everything” but you still aren’t losing weight? You hit the gym regularly and eat healthy but still don’t look like you workout? Do you struggle with constipation, acne, bloating, or other hormonal or digestive symptoms but your doctor tells you all of your lab results “look normal”? Do you feel like there’s SO much mixed information online that you have no clue what to eat to be healthy? That ends here.

I specialize in fertility / infertility acupuncture, pain management acupuncture and stress disorders, but my practice is multi-fold and I work with far more than just that. I work with my patients from a holistic perspective, in which we look at diet, lifestyle and all else that can influence health. While I use acupuncture (and other Chinese healing modalities when necessary), I like to see that the patient is able to find freedom from symptoms and retain positive health on their own through their newly found knowledge about their health.

Are you having bladder issues? Hot flashes, mood swings? Back pain? Anxiety? Do you need support, a listening ear and a natural solution? If your goal is to get your health under control without surgery, invasive procedures or medication, then you have found your alternative medicine home. If the consequences of surgery and medications make you frightened, then you need a safe and nurturing alternative.
