Working with Adena will provide a safe and non-judgement space that will allow flexibility and empowerment to reach your goals.

I specialize in gut health (diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating, and SIBO), thyroid health (Hashimoto's and Graves), and weight loss. I am committed to helping you find your personalized path to wellness by showing you how to work with your biology to heal your gut and metabolism while addressing common barriers, such as constipation, food sensitivities, metabolic dysfunction, dysbiosis, hormonal imbalance, and nutrient deficiencies. In addition to the focus on biology, I utilize the best of behavioral change science to help you establish habits that will last a lifetime.

I help clients optimize their health through individualized dietary and lifestyle change. Each client is unique and I create a wellness plan based on their specific health needs, always looking to address the underlying cause of health disruption. My approach to health is integrative and holistic, yet based upon real science, functional medicine and the latest research to support the whole person. Health consultations can be useful for many issues including digestive disorders, hormonal imbalance, autoimmune conditions, and developing a healthier relationship to food.

Over the years, I developed a protocol for painlessly breaking unhealthy habits-eating too much sugar, late night eating, endless snacking, body bashing-with healthy habits, like craving vegetables, making better food choices, and honoring, respecting, and loving your body. I regard both nutrition and emotional health as the core of healthcare and focuses on nutritional and botanical interventions to support chronic, degenerative and auto-immune diseases, patients with cancer, energy and brain health challenges, food intolerances, chronic infections, as well as general disease risk prevention and optimal wellness.

Navigating the path to better nutrition and well-being can be challenging, but you don't have to go it alone. Using doctorate-level education rooted in evidence-based science, I'm here to support you with a personalized nutrition plan that not only tastes great, but also nourishes your body. We'll take a holistic approach to your health, considering all aspects of your life. If you're curious about lab tests, supplements, or assessments, we can explore those options together.

Let's cultivate healthy habits that will last a lifetime. I teach you how to nourish yourself and your family with food that powers your busy life without restriction. Working one on one with a Nutritionist offers accountability to make long-term changes to the way you eat. My approach is grounded in scientific evidence that ushers good health for a lifetime, with a non-diet lens. Non-diet means that all foods fit. You'll never hear me ask you to restrict your favorite foods. I'm a weight-neutral practitioner and believe there is much more to overall health and well-being than a number on a scale.  ​

Do you want to feel good, perform at your best, and develop healthier habits to prevent chronic diseases, slow aging, & continue participating in activities you love?

I offer comprehensive, individualized nutrition and wellness services to help you feel & perform your best & reduce your risk of chronic conditions.

We eat at least 3-4 times a day or 21-28 times a week. Eating is an activity we have been engaging in since we were born. We used to know when we were hungry and when we were full. When this energy giving and life sustaining act becomes a source of confusion, guilt and fear, when eating becomes disordered and turns into a dangerous coping mechanism, it is time to evaluate what we are doing and explore how we can normalize our behavior so our minds and body can function in a healthy way to support our goals.

I help people get reconnected with their body and mind by addressing the root cause of their health issues. I work with many chronic dieters, gut issues (bloating, diarrhea, constipation), low energy, and/or stress/emotional eating. These symptoms are often connected to high stress, anxiety and depression, which impact appetite and eating habits. Work with me if you want more energy, digestive relief and more freedom and confidence making food choices so you can live a vibrant life.

Our bodies are our first homes. And yet, the struggle to belong in our skin and bones is widespread. From an early age, we are taught to mistrust our bodies; tune out its sensations and longings. We exile the parts of us that society deems unsavory to the point where the pain, grief, and loneliness of not belonging feel like our only option. You are here because you know you deserve to belong in your body. I am here to witness your journey toward building a loving and embodied relationship with yourself and the world around you.
