Nutritionists and Dietitians near Ventura, CA

Welcome to personalized nutrition for optimal health, confidence, and vitality. I utilize functional medicine, sports nutrition, intuitive eating, and mindset nutrition to help you heal your relationship with food, heal your gut, and improve your health for good.

Improve your athletic performance, energy, and health with personalized nutrition to help you reach your sport and fitness goals. Restore your relationship with food and your body using intuitive eating, health at every size, and mindfulness approaches. Make sense of all the confusing nutrition information to prevent and control high blood pressure, cholesterol, and more. I specialize in exercise/sports nutrition, disordered eating, and wellness. My passion is helping you to break free of the guilt you may carry around food, and joining you on the journey towards building a healthy relationship with food to complement your lifestyle.

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and am devoted to helping my clients optimize their health through a body-mind integrative approach. Given all the opposing views about nutrition I can understand your confusion and help you find what is best for your unique situation. I specialize in Functional Nutrition along with Disordered Eating. I am here to help those who are hoping to improve their relationship with food and their bodies and also for those struggling with hormonal, metabolic and gut related disorders such as PCOS, metabolic syndrome, Diabetes, Cardio-Vascular Disease, Hypothyroid along with Menopausal Health.

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.

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.
