Background

Welcome! Managing chronic health conditions can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to help you feel confident and supported on your health journey. With extensive experience in kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and weight management, I create realistic nutrition plans that help improve labs, energy, and overall wellbeing.

Together, we’ll focus on what matters most for your health, whether that’s improving blood sugar, lowering blood pressure, protecting kidney function, or simply feeling better day to day. I’ll help you understand what’s going on in your body and create a clear, manageable plan that you can actually stick with.

Many of my clients start to see improvements in their labs, energy levels, and confidence with food within the first few months of working together.

In addition to my professional experience, I have a personal connection to kidney disease, which has shaped the way I care for and support my clients — with empathy, honesty, and a long-term perspective.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m here to guide you step by step.

Approach

My approach to nutrition therapy is practical, supportive, and tailored to your real life — not based on strict rules or perfection. I help you understand what’s happening in your body and create a clear, manageable plan to improve labs, blood sugar, blood pressure, kidney health, weight goals, and overall wellbeing without overwhelm. Together, we focus on sustainable habits, enjoyable foods, and realistic changes that help you feel confident and supported every step of the way.

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