Need that DI scholarship? Have cramping issues, GI problems, hate your body, just tore your ACL or are paralyzed by all the conflicting diet ads? Do you run out of energy during workouts? Are you a masters athlete with medical issues and multiple meds? Maybe you're a parent and your kid wants to make the varsity team by using a sketchy supplement. Or you're a coach and just don't know what to say when your athletes get dehydrated. I CAN HELP!

As a clinical nutritionist, I offer individual nutritional counseling to help you make practical and sustainable changes specifically addressing your issues through a healthy lifestyle. You'll experience optimal health and wellness when your body functions are in balance. In our fast-paced, convenience focused lives, we are faced with many obstacles that take us off course-our lifestyle and the quality of our foods, for example. I specialize in gastrointestinal wellness and detoxification support. Gastrointestinal health plays a central role in all other body systems, while support of the body's detoxification mechanisms is critical in our world today.

At our first session, the average person tells me "I know what I need to do, I just wish I had the willpower to do it." Many rely on sheer willpower to accomplish their goals instead of learning how to make nutrition a simple and enjoyable process. Nutrition is not supposed to be this hard or guilt-inducing. It should primarily mold around your general life and preferences, not the other way around. My main approach to accomplish this is to build a basic understanding on why your old habits do not work, and why these new habits will work.

I'm inviting all individuals who need a fresh start to their recovery. A fresh start looks like: needing to work through challenges that still remain from previous eating disorder treatments; an introduction to that body of yours who has been waiting to be "friended" by you; wanting to know how very different a nourished brain behaves and finally- meeting a hybrid dietitian who safely, wisely helps you eat, move and live in a body that's hungry for change.

It is not often we are encouraged to honor our bodies needs. We live in world that teaches us to "watch it" and "have it together", especially around weight and food. Unfortunately, this constant pressure to "be good" can play a role in constant dieting, restricting, binging, purging and an all or nothing attitude around exercise. Fortunately, we can make peace with food and our bodies again. Our approach of trauma informed nutrition counseling and coaching teaches non-diet eating and body wisdom skills to learn to trust and feel safe inside the body and manage chronic issues such as burned and stressed out, PCOS and gut health.

Meal Plan Nutritionists and Dietitians
What does menu planning involve?
Menu planning is a strategy used by many dietitians to help clients map out their intake for future meals, often with the goal of improving the quality of the client's diet and/or meeting certain nutritional requirements. Depending on the needs of the client, dietitians may prescribe specific foods for clients or suggest serving suggestions for foods, such as encouraging clients to consume a designated amount of protein or vegetables.

How can a dietitian help with menu planning?
A dietitian can help with menu planning by developing a tailored food plan that aligns with a client’s nutritional preferences and goals. The process typically starts with a nutritional assessment to determine the client’s baseline needs based on factors such as age, activity level, and medical conditions. This assessment is particularly useful for clients who are new to tracking their nutrient intake. Dietitians also provide guidance on portion control and optimizing nutrient intake to ensure a balanced diet. Additionally, if the dietitian specializes in a specific area, such as vegetarian diets or nutrition for athletes, they can offer expert advice to create menus that meet those particular needs while maintaining variety and overall nutritional balance.

Who can benefit from menu planning?
Many people can benefit from planning, as it can be both a time-saving and money-saving option that can also promote physical health. When meals are planned out ahead of time, individuals may be less likely to consume unhealthy alternatives or default to getting takeout food, which may be high in calories and sodium. Individuals with specific diet-related chronic conditions may particularly benefit from menu planning for accountability purposes and to ensure that their diet is supportive of their nutrition-related health goals, such as hypertension management or blood sugar regulation.
