Background

As a non-diet registered dietitian, I am here to help you live a life free from restriction, rules, and guilt. My priority is to work with you to find a way of nourishing your body that brings joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment. I am passionate about empowering you to care for your body in a gentle and compassionate way, no matter what it looks like. 

I completed my Bachelors in Dietetics and Dietetic Internship through Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. I specialize in providing non-diet nutrition coaching and body image healing. I have taught hundreds of women to leave behind dieting for good and to trust their bodies. Through a supportive and intuitive eating approach I work with each client individually to provide the techniques they need to live a life that is full, nourished, and joyful. My mission is to help you let go so you can make space in your life for what matters most. 

Outside of the office, you can find me enjoying time with my family,  chasing around my sweet and energetic kids, spending time outdoors, and making a mess in the kitchen.

Jane completely changed how I think about food. She’s patient, knowledgeable, and explains things in a way that actually makes sense.
