I am a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist in Orange County, CA. I have over 17 years of professional experience. My career includes collaborating with Bariatric Surgeons and providing diet and lifestyle counseling for patients scheduled for Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy Procedures. My first book EASY GASTRIC SLEEVE COOKBOOK was published in 2020. My second book THE PLANT-BASED WEIGHT LOSS SOLUTION was published in 2021. Both books available on Amazon. I am dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of proper nutrition for patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgeries. Call/email to discuss your needs.

I help clients overcome common obstacles to weight loss, fix their relationship with food, and break up with dieting for good. Are you "doing the right things" to lose weight, but it's just not working? It's not you OR your lack of willpower. Traditional diet advice may work in the *very* short term, but ultimately works against your physiology leading to a sluggish metabolism and (unfortunately) weight gain. Luckily, it is possible to reverse this, then work with your body to reduce inflammation and balance your hormones, to make weight loss both achievable AND sustainable.

Do you feel like you can't control your eating food- related behaviors ? Do you see yourself as "fat" when others see you as too thin? Would you say that food and thoughts about food dominate your life? You don't have to be alone in your struggle. My specialized and experienced empathetic approach focuses on you and your personal experience . The science of nutrition is important but struggling clients need support with their emotions around food and eating. Plan of care and recovery is developed carefully with your involvement.

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.

As a dedicated & compassionate dietitian, my mission is to foster a positive & healing relationship with food & body for individuals navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, & chronic medical conditions. With a commitment to a weight-inclusive approach, I believe in promoting overall well-being rather than numbers on a scale. I recognize the diverse and unique experiences each individual brings to their relationship with food, body image, and health. Cultural sensitivity & diversity are integral components of my approach, & I am devoted to creating a safe and inclusive space where clients feel seen, heard and respected.

Health and wellness is more than just what you eat. As a nutrition, fitness, and wellness coach, we work together to craft a plan that helps you achieve your health and wellness goals. Your plan for successfully acheiving your goals revolves around an individualized nutrition and fitness plan and strategies to make the necessary behavior changes.

The best part of working with my clients is seeing the mental shift that occurs with nutritional therapy. I work with a lot of people who have been imprisoned by restrictive diets and have beaten themselves up for years because they feel like a failure. At Nutrition Unveiled, the most important thing that occurs is developing a positive relationship with the mind, body, and food, and learning to nourish and treat the body rather than deprive and hurt the body. Happiness creates a much deeper level of health than any number on the scale ever will!

Health is a journey, not a destination. At my practice, Holistic Nutrition Center, we find the root cause of your health issues then we create a customized nutrition program that includes labs, in-depth health coaching, and whole food supplements.
