Background

Hi, I’m Joanna — a Functional Medicine Dietitian passionate about helping people feel their best from the inside out.

With over a decade of experience in nutrition and health coaching, I specialize in functional medicine approaches to support gut health, hormone balance, metabolic wellness, and overall vitality. I have extensive experience in diabetes management, renal care, and cardiovascular conditions, as well as advanced training in preconception, prenatal, and postpartum nutrition. I also work with clients managing digestive concerns, chronic fatigue, weight challenges, and blood sugar imbalances.

In our work together, you can expect a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where we go beyond symptom management to uncover root causes. I take time to truly understand your health history, lifestyle, and goals so we can create a plan that is both practical and sustainable.

Outside of my work, I’m a mom, and I love the outdoors. I also love experimenting in the kitchen with nourishing, flavorful recipes. My drive comes from witnessing how personalized nutrition can transform not only health but also confidence and quality of life.

If you’re ready to take charge of your health with a compassionate partner by your side, I’d be honored to support your journey.
