Feeling frustrated, confused, and exhausted from all the dieting? Ready to be excited about food again and feel amazing?!? I am so glad you are here! I love encouraging and motivating people just like you! Imagine being excited and confident about not just food but also yourself!! I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who believes that eating healthy should be simple, sustainable, and scrumptious. Eating should be easy, enjoyable, and something that is able to bring you joy for the rest of your life. It should not bring stress, regret, and confusion. I want you to know how to eat right for the rest of your life.

It's time to start feeling better! Get rid of inflammation. Ditch the excess weight, achey joints, brain fog, skin issues and more. With a deep understanding of food sensitivity testing, I use Mediator Release Testing (MRT) + the LEAP protocol to identify the root cause of your health issues and make simple food adjustments to help you heal while leading a balanced life. No matter how old you are, we can see great improvement, fast.

We cannot survive without nourishing our bodies and therefore, it makes our relationship with food complicated. We have to interact with food daily and my wish for clients is to heal their relationship with food and their body.

I work with people that have Prediabetes or Diabetes to get their blood sugar where it needs to be, avoid or reduce the need for medication, feel more energy and lose weight. Would you like to change your health for the better? How about getting your lab results into the normal range? Is your weight on an uphill trajectory? Call or email me to see how you can achieve all this and still eat the foods you like. Along the way you will boost your immunity and healthy eating will become a way of life. Other benefits include: increased energy, focus during the day, and even better fitting clothing.

I believe every person deserves the chance to live a happy, healthy life. That's why I do what I do and live to inspire change by teaching foundational holistic health principles paired with a highly individualized integrative lens I take into every client conversation. Nutrition & Health doesn't have to be complex and complicated, confusing and frustrating... but yet far too many people are suffering from poor health, a broken standard healthcare system, and a society that doesn't help them live their life to the healthiest of their abilities. It's not easy going against the status quo, but IT IS necessary. Are you ready?

What would it look like to have a good relationship with food? To not feel guilty for eating certain foods. To not label foods as good or bad. To learn how to fuel your body with foods you enjoy! My mission as a HAES and intuitive eating dietitian, is to help you to learn how to nourish your body, enjoy food, avoid restrictions, and eliminate diets. Through my experience as a collegiate runner, and seeing what poor fueling and under-fueling can do, I am passionate about working with athletes, as well as eating disorders. Let me help you enjoy food again, ditch the diet, and fuel your body.
