Deciding what to eat can be exhausting, especially if you or your child struggle with physical or mental health. Food allergies, Autism, ADHD, ARFID, and chronic illness diagnoses can make eating even more frustrating for children and adults alike. If you are looking for a neurodiversity-affirming provider who can help you make eating easy again, I invite you to reach out!

I help clients navigate eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, body image concerns, and the stress of building a healthier relationship with food. My style is warm, collaborative, and realistic—not about perfection, judgment, or rigid rules. In our first session, I want to understand what you are hoping for, where you have been, and what feels hardest right now. Whether you are actively struggling, stepping down from higher care, worried about relapse, or trying to maintain balanced eating, we move at a pace that feels supportive, clinically appropriate, and sustainable.

I am still amazed at the broad range of health issues that acupuncture can treat successfully.I have been in practice since 2003 and the top four issues that seem to show up at my office time and time again are migraine headache, anxiety, allergies and issues relating to female reproduction which include menstrual, menopausal and fertility health. What sets acupuncture apart from other forms of medicine is that it seeks to address the underlying cause of illness. This approach is restorative to health bringing balance to body, mind and spirit.

I’m Christina, a registered dietitian/nutritionist living in MetroWest Massachusetts. I am passionate about using evidenced-based nutrition to help people achieve their best and healthiest lives through better relationships with food. As a working mom, I know how challenging it can be to find time to make changes to improve your life. And from over a decade of working one-on-one with those undergoing and who have completed cancer treatment, I have seen first-hand how misinformation and shame surrounding food and nutrition can sabotage even those with the best intentions.

Through acupuncture along with being a psychotherapist has helped me to empathize with and understand the needs of my patients on a deeper level because of my own healing journey. I understand what it is like to not be listened to, taken seriously, or be told my problems were psychological when my body didn't improve as expected. Acupuncture, supplements and healing foods helped me dramatically improve my health. Anxiety, migraines, back/body pain can be alleviated through acupuncture where the body is strengthened over time and symptoms weakened. How would you like to treat the underlying cause of the problems you are facing?

“ I have tried everything and nothing seems to work.” I hear this often from women who are frustrated with stubborn weight gain, fatigue, insomnia, mood swings, food cravings, or chronic digestive problems. These challenges can make every day feel like an uphill battle. I want to tell you that it doesn’t have to be this way. You are not broken. Your body is not failing you. Your body is an intelligent organism designed with an inherent ability to heal and self-regulate. You need to get to the bottom of the problem and do the work that will bring your body back to balance.

Since I became a Registered Dietitian in 2014, I have gained extensive experience in various areas of nutrition and dietetics. My career began with the WIC program, where I specialized in supporting pregnant women, new mothers, young children, and postpartum women with their nutritional concerns. Over time, I expanded my practice to address the needs of the general population, including individuals managing diabetes, weight loss or gain, hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension, pediatric nutrition, geriatric/senior nutritional needs, and other health conditions.

Your doctor told you your numbers are high. Maybe you've already tried changing your diet. Maybe you don't know where to start. Either way, that's exactly who I work with. Most people know something about eating "healthy," but are still missing the specific dietary patterns that drive high cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar. A general healthy diet isn't the same as a targeted one. Small, precise changes, and sometimes counterintuitive ones, move numbers more than overly restrictive approaches.
