Health Professionals in Charlotte, NC

I offer a weight neutral, client-centered, non-judgmental, trauma informed and somatically oriented approach to nutrition counseling where we work together to explore and heal your relationship with food and body image. I specialize in working with folks who have eating disorders, disordered eating, diabetes, PCOS and athletes. These experiences help inform my nutrition practice and I’m excited to continue to learn from the clients I have the privilege of working with now.

Have you ever thought, "I can't eat this it will make me gain weight." or "I ate too much, so now I need to workout to burn it off." Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to enjoy food without the feelings of guilt associated with your choices?

Smart healthcare and results are my passion! Using a body constitution approach, I tailor treatments for nerve and joint pain, gastrointestinal and auto-immune disorders. Knowing your particular body constitution is vital since your treatment could be completely different from someone else even if you have the exact same symptoms and diagnosis. What you eat is also very important so you know how to maintain the treatments you receive from me. As part of my care, every patient receives comprehensive dietary and lifestyle activities counseling.

Welcome! I have a lifelong passion for health. I was raised using natural therapies for common illnesses and saw the power of integrative cancer treatment during my aunt’s ovarian cancer journey. I also used natural solutions for my own hormonal imbalances, fatigue, and digestive issues during my young adult life. As a naturopathic doctor, I treat the whole person with individualized comprehensive naturopathic care focused on both underlying causes and end results. I provide care for natural cancer support, hormonal, digestive, heart health, metabolic, autoimmune, and skin disorders.

I’m a Registered Dietitian who is passionate about working with people who want to improve their relationship with food. If eating and body image are taking up more energy than is in line with your values, we would be a great fit together to discover how you can nourish your body with less overthinking and stress. I hope to be alongside you in the ups and downs of your journey and provide a listening ear, support, and gentle feedback and structure when you feel it's needed.  I practice from a weight-inclusive lens. I am an immigrant from Venezuela and respect the importance of cultural foods and eating patterns.

I help folks heal from perfectionism around food and their bodies so they can live fully nourished through fertility, pregnancy and beyond. I’m a strong believer that your body is wise, and that tuning into your innate wisdom is powerful. I want to help you find that power through reconnecting to your body, and with a little nutrition science along the way, reach your reproductive health goals and ultimately live your best life. I believe nutrition should be truly holistic - which means it takes into account your mental and emotional health too.

I am a naturopathic doctor (ND) here to help you address the root cause(s) of your health concerns and improve your health through education, partnership, support and natural, drug-free therapies. Our health is affected by many factors. I am here to educate & empower you towards the health promoting actions, thoughts, & choices within your control so you are free to be the most healthy, vibrant, beautiful & balanced YOU possible.

I can help you by doing "medical detective" work. This means addressing the most fundamental causes of disease, not just treating symptoms. Many of my patients have seen multiple specialists with no improvement, and are tired of drugs and their side effects. If you are ready for a new, natural, comprehensive approach to your health, let's embark on the journey together. Let's get to the bottom of what's going on, and work together to improve not only how you look & feel now, but prevent problems in the future.

If you're searching for a more peaceful relationship with food, you've come to the right place. My mission is to support people as they break free from food rules and restrictions so they can reconnect with their own intuition when it comes to eating.

I'm the founder of New Paths Nutrition, a group practice that specializes in eating disorders and disordered eating.

My goal as a Registered Dietitian is to help others find peace with food, their bodies, and movement. I work with people of all ages and specialize in the treatment of eating disorders and disordered eating, although I accept clients who are struggling with their overall relationship with food or are dealing with nutrition-related health complications, such as GI issues. There is a lot of nutrition misinformation available and I want to provide evidence-based nutrition to debunk diet culture myths and help clients heal their relationship with food.

I live and practice by the belief that all foods have a place in a healthy and balanced diet, and that no one food is “bad”. In a society where we are constantly searching for the next trending diet plan or magic pill, I am committed to countering the noise with evidence-based information and a mind-body approach to nutrition and overall wellbeing. I am passionate about helping my clients make realistic and sustainable lifestyle changes that they feel good about – physically, mentally and emotionally.

I enjoy treating people who want to take an active role in their health. I work with the body's innate ability to heal by promoting balance and removing health obstacles. I work hard to understand you as an idividual, and not as a list of symptoms. I do my best to educate and communicate about your treatment, so that you feel comfortable every step of the way. I encourage you to schedule a free consultation to get to know each other and get all of your questions answered before we begin our partnership in your health care.

My advanced Japanese style acupuncture not only alleviates symptoms, but also strengthens vital organs, builds immune system, and restores balance. Each treatment is profound, activating the body to heal within.

If you are struggling to develop a peaceful relationship with food, know that you are not alone.
