Background

Hi! I'm a registered dietitian, weight loss expert and personal trainer with more than 15 years of experience helping thousands lose weight, get healthier, happier and into tip-top shape. My twin sister and I co-founded The Nutrition Twins, and with her by my side through life and now in business, I've always had a partner. This lifelong partnership has shaped how I view every client relationship—when you work with me, we become partners, and I'm your biggest cheerleader every step of the way.

While I've co-authored three top-selling books including "The Nutrition Twins' Veggie Cure," been featured on major TV shows/ networks like The Doctors, Good Morning America Health, CNN, and Fox and Friends, and contributed to publications from USA Today to Vogue, my expertise has earned me a place on the Eat This, Not That! Medical Review Board and even an invitation to the White House! Yet what I'm truly most proud of is my 90% success rate in helping clients achieve lasting weight loss success.

I specialize in working with busy adults who are exhausted from yo-yo dieting and feeling deprived. I take a deeply realistic approach to nutrition—I understand your daily challenges, cravings, time constraints, and the very real obstacles that come with changing habits. Rather than imposing rigid, unrealistic guidelines, I work within your lifestyle to find sustainable solutions that actually fit your life.

Together, we uncover the root causes of stubborn weight gain and develop personalized eating plans tailored to your unique body chemistry, lifestyle, and hormonal balance. Whether you're using weight loss medication or not, my approach enables sustainable results while still enjoying the foods you love.

My clients appreciate that I understand their frustration with weight that drains their confidence and mental energy. I'm passionate about helping them wake up feeling confident, slip into any outfit without drama, and enjoy the vibrant life they've built.

Beyond weight management, I help clients address food sensitivities, digestive issues, arthritis, eczema, insomnia, and other health concerns. Each client receives personalized attention—there's no one-size-fits-all approach here.

What truly sets my approach apart is combining evidence-based nutrition science with compassionate support. I celebrate every victory with you, troubleshoot challenges together, and remain consistently present throughout your journey. With my experience, education and background in overcoming my own struggles with sugar, I know what it takes to create lasting transformation.

I would be absolutely thrilled to help you achieve your health and nutrition goals! My energy and enthusiasm for this work never wanes—I'm just as excited about your success as you are.

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