Nutritionists and Dietitians near Seal Beach, CA

All clients are ideal...they come with their own individual nutrition issues. As a Registered Dietitian it is my hope that we can come up with a plan of action to meet their needs. By giving the client time to communicate what they have been dealing with and coming up with goals together....the support can come in a gentle and nurturing environment. Many clients come in not knowing what to expect or are scared of making changes. That is not unusual. Helping them see what they can accomplish and breaking it down into manageable pieces can decrease the anxiety of coming in.

However, if you have no named illness and just feel awful, I am here for you.

Are you stuck bingeing or overeating, thinking about food 24/7, feeling stuck with food guilt & shame, or struggle with negative body image thoughts? I'm a Registered Dietitian and before I discovered Intuitive Eating, I never thought a "normal" relationship with food was possible. I thought I would always be fighting cravings, bingeing, constantly thinking about food, and hating my body. Everywhere I turned for guidance, I was told I just needed to have more discipline and self control. I was trapped in this cycle for 10+ years and desperate for a way out. If this is YOU, I want you to know you are not alone and there is a way out.
