After more than 30 years in the field, my passion for nutrition continues. Seeing a client find relief from pain and exhaustion is a joy! Plus, I can relate to their desperation to get their life back. In 2005 I put my knowledge of nutrition to the test when, two weeks after invasive back surgery I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shortly afterwards I discovered multiple food allergies. Once those were removed I stopped three prescription medications and feel better than I had in years. I absolutely love bringing that relief to clients!

If you have an eating disorder and a cooccurring autoimmune disease, MCAS, endometriosis, PCOS, or live with neurodivergence such as ADHD or OCD, you might feel that no one understands how complicated this makes navigating food and your body. I want you to know that I’ve walked that path too. I had an eating disorder throughout most of my teens, and shortly after entering recovery, was diagnosed with a chronic illness. That experience decades ago reshaped how I view healing and recovery, and shapes how I support my clients today.

As a registered dietitian, my goal is to help my clients develop a healthy and peaceful relationship with food. Whether it’s how food was talked about in your family growing up, messages from social media or feedback and advice from well-intentioned friends, there is likely an overwhelming amount of nutrition information available to you. How do you know what’s right, factual or most appropriate for you? My goal is to help un-complicate this information with an anti-diet and individualized approach to help you address your nutrition related concerns and make eating easier.
