Health Professionals Beginning With W in North Carolina

My ideal client comes wanting to make a change and is willing to take on some challenges to help get them to that ideal health place. We make small changes, set goals after each visit, and the client is willing to step outside of their current comfort zone and challenge themselves to change. They want better digestion, less inflammation, a more active lifestyle, improvement in performance (sports and general activity), and to achieve a more desired body type (weight loss, increase in lean mass, or general weight gain).

This system of medicine looks at the core of your health issues. My tools include lab testing, clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, supplements, physical medicine, homeopathy, and life counseling. I value education as key and strive hard to inspire and empower you to achieve your optimal health and happiness.

Do you struggle knowing what foods are good for your kidney health? Do you see conflicting information online and feel confused about what is best for you? Did you only get a one page handout from your nephrologist with foods to avoid and foods to eat? If you answered YES to any of these questions, you are not alone and you are in the right place! Feeling overwhelmed about what to eat to improve and protect your kidney function is all too common. As a Renal Dietitian with over 10 year of experience, I help adults with CKD protect their kidneys and improve energy levels by increasing confidence with food.

I've helped dozens of clients discover the healing powers that lie within.

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.
