Weight Management Nutritionists and Dietitians near Ventura, CA

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and am devoted to helping my clients recover from all forms of disordered eating, including Anorexia, Bulimia, Orthorexia, Extreme Picky Eating, Binge Eating and chronic dieting. I understand your seemingly endless battle with anxiety over what to eat along with your often co-existing struggle with negative body image and I have the tools to help you heal. I also specialize in Integrative and Functional Nutrition and am here to help those struggling with hormonal, metabolic and gut related disorders such as PCOS, metabolic syndrome, Diabetes, Cardio-Vascular Disease, Hypothyroidism, GERD, IBS and others.

I provide personal and individual nutrition education and counseling on a variety of health and nutrition issues. My approach is simple, yet effective. I work with the individual to assist in empowering them to make healthier eating habits and lifestyle changes. It definitely is not easy to take charge of your health on your own, but can be done when you have the right skills, information, and motivation. My goal in working with people is for them to eat healthier, feel better and to embrace eating as an enjoyable experience.

Are you frustrated with severe bloating after each meal, constipation, diarrhea, embarrassing gas, and/or skin issues such as rashes and eczema,- which is causing a lot of fear, anxiety and confusion around which food to eat? In my work I help my clients to implement a highly personalized nutrition plan that results in more energy, elimination of gas, reducing the needs for prescription medication, normalizing digestion and being able to fearlessly eat a delicious and nourishing food without having to worry about unpleasant symptoms.

If you are looking to reshape your relationship with food, mind, and body, look no further. We live in a world obsessed with food, fitness, and figure, which has only led to even more stress in our lives! Allow us to guide you on a journey in rediscovering your joy for eating and movement. Our dietitians specialize in working with clients with eating disorders, addiction, and mental health disorders, but our approach is also uniquely suited for those who are fed up with frequent dieting, disappointed by their bodies, and looking for a new way to find life fulfilling again.

I work with clients who have been struggling with chronic digestive problems and the conventional health care model has been unable to help them. Many of the clients I work with have removed the majority (if not all) of their favorite foods from their diet due to these chronic digestive problems. I guide clients on how to expand their diet and improve tolerance to foods again to get their quality of life back! In addition to digestive problems, I work with clients who lack awareness on how to meet their nutritional needs on a plant-based diet and also offer personalized grocery shopping tours.

Medical diagnoses are freightenting. Often, I have found my clients receive little education on ways to manage clinical conditions, such as chronic kidney disease and diabetes. With limited guidance, their condition progresses and can result in profound impacts on physical and mental health, and quality of life.

I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors with weight concerns, disordered eating, distorted body image and those in recovery from an eating disorder on developing intuitive eating habits and a healthy relationship with food and body. A lot of my clients have a strong focus on wanting to lose weight, but feel at a loss as to finding something that works. If you feel exhausted with dieting and diet culture, I can help you navigate a more empowering and freeing path.

As a functional nutrition and health coach, I know that you are unique and one solution (or pill!) does not fit all. After childhood allergies/asthma, frequent infections and fatigue, I was diagnosed with reproductive cancer and an autoimmune disease. I've been through it all, so I understand how frustrated you feel when your body stops working. Together, we'll build a strong foundation for you from the ground up with food, lifestyle and mindset enhancements. My programs improve sleep, energy, mental focus, and build better lifelong habits so you can accomplish more every day.

90% of health conditions and diseases can be prevented by proper nutrition and lifestyle modifications. Not only does management and prevention of chronic health conditions improve the quality and satisfaction of living, but it also adds years and saves money later in life. The sooner you take the steps to a healthier life, the sooner you’ll feel better, happier, more energized, and more confident about your appearance. I’m here to help you set the foundation for a more fulfilling life you can enjoy with family and friends in years to come!

Do you often skip meals (usually unintentionally because you are so busy) until you become hangry, lose all self-control around a bag of hot-cheetos (or other "non-desirable" food item)...and then wonder why you are not making progress on your health-related goals? Do you feel too busy, over-worked, or overwhelmed to consistently exercise? Do you remember a time when this wasn't the case? Does reflecting on all of this make you upset, sad, or maybe even resentful? You are not alone. Not even close. I help busy career and family oriented individuals develop healthy habits with simple solutions.
