As a passionate and experienced Dietitian of 10 years, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise and personal insight to my practice. With a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and certification as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), I am committed to helping individuals achieve their health and wellness goals through personalized nutritional guidance. My journey with obesity as a teenager has profoundly shaped my understanding and empathy, allowing me to connect deeply with my patients' experiences. Working across various hospital settings and with individuals facing eating disorders in outpatient facilities has broadened my horizons, equipping me with the skills 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 the principles of anti-diet and intuitive eating, 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, cleaning, folding laundry, chauffeuring kids to soccer practices or games, 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.
