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.

Happiness creates a much deeper level of health than any number on the scale ever will!

My ideal client is someone who is looking to improve their overall health and well-being with sustainable and realistic changes to their eating patterns. Most of my clients are surprised to discover that the dieting behaviors they have participated in (e.g. restricting calories/macros or avoiding food groups) are actually more harmful to their health than health promoting. I teach my clients how to eat in a way that works best for their individual needs and preferences, remove the guilt associated with eating certain foods, and help them feel confident in their food choices.

My philosophy is to treat each individual as a unique case, focusing on you as a whole entity, and addressing the root of the problem.
