Background
I am an experienced registered dietitian nutritionist, certified specialist in eating disorders and sports dietetics, exercise physiologist, educator, researcher, parent, and life-long learner who is committed to people's journey towards a supportive and trusting relationship with food, eating, movement, and body.
Eating competence is a measurable construct characterized by being positive, comfortable, attuned, and flexible with eating as well as practical and reliable about getting enough to eat of enjoyable and nourishing food.
My body-inclusive work focuses on cultivating eating competence in people with dysfunctional eating behaviors such as compulsive or dissociative eating, over-exercising, or food restriction due to orthorexia, chronic dieting, and poor body image.

Approach
"I believe in taking an inclusive, collaborative, and experiential approach in empowering clients to engage in nourishing self-care that involves eating, feeding, moving, tuning in, and recovery through the development of eating competence. I do not offer a weight-focused approach. My mission is to facilitate the paradigm shift in how humans eat and move their bodies: with trust, respect, gratitude, and joy!"
