Background
As a passionate and experienced Dietitian, I blend my clinical nutrition training with personal, intuitive insight into my practice. I am committed to helping individuals achieve their health and wellness goals through personalized nutritional guidance. I strive to help my clients understand their bodies, not "just lose a few pounds," but truly feel healthier. My journey with obesity as a teenager has profoundly shaped my understanding and empathy toward people of all health and sizes, allowing me to create bridges where there may be broken trust toward the way the body works. I have worked across various hospital settings and with individuals facing eating disorders in an outpatient facility, which means I can answer nutrition questions and explain nutrition in a clinical and practical way to address diverse nutritional needs and challenges.
In my practice, I prioritize creating a supportive and collaborative environment. Understanding my patients' personal needs and goals is crucial to crafting effective dietary plans that align with their lifestyle and health objectives. My approach is rooted in anti-diet mentality, nutrition on-the-go, and intuitive eating. I enjoy empowering individuals to enjoy food freely and mindfully while fostering a positive relationship with their bodies at every stage of life.
Beyond my professional credentials, I am a true food lover and advocate for nourishing, wholesome meals. As a mother of four, I understand the importance of balancing nutrition with the joys of family life. My personal experiences have driven me to help others discover the pleasure and satisfaction that comes from eating well and understanding our body’s requests without the constraints of traditional or fad dieting.
Outside of work, you can find me exploring new recipes, planning the next family trip, chauffeuring kids to soccer practices, or running after my toddler. My drive is fueled by the desire to inspire others to embrace a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle—one that celebrates the joy of food and the power of informed choices.
