Background

I have 30 years of experience as a registered dietitian, having worked in nutrition research, and as an oncology dietitian at a major cancer center. I also have worked extensively with clients for weight management, diabetes, improving cholesterol levels as well as gastrointestinal concerns. 

I enjoy helping clients every step of the way on their journey to improve their health. I  keep clients excited and motivated, and I love watching the positive changes that they experience.

I grew up in North Carolina, surrounded by endless pastures of crops and farm animals, which gave me an appreciation for how our food is grown and how food can impact our health.

In my spare time you will see me walking my dog, Josie, going for a run, bike ride or curling up with a good book. I love to travel and experience all the different foods that each culture has to offer.

Approach

"Having been a Registered Dietitian for 30+ years, I realize there is an abundance of nutrition misinformation available that can be confusing when deciding what to eat. My goal is to make nutrition less complicated, separate fact from fiction and provide evidence based nutrition recommendations. I incorporate lifestyle changes in addition to nutrition therapy to help clients reach their health goals. My approach is that food should be enjoyed, not demonized."

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