Background
I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, but enjoyed living on Kauai, and in Seattle, WA before settling back in Marin County. I have over 20 years of experience working with clients to treat the root causes of disease and supporting them in achieving their healthcare goals. My background includes working as a massage therapist, acupuncturist, herbalist, health coach and dietitian/nutritionist. I’m currently working in outpatient nutrition and hepatology in a large academic hospital system.
I am passionate about the power that we have to improve our health with our day to day habits. There is nothing more satisfying than meeting with clients in follow up visits to hear that their symptoms have reduced after changing their diets, moving more, improving their sleep or finding alternative ways to manage stress.
Although the best diet or plan is the one you can stick with, I am a big supporter of eating real food - the kind that used to walk around or grows on trees!
I hold an MS in Nutrition and Dietetics from Bastyr University, am a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist and have been certified as a Wellcoaches Health Coach.

Approach
"My approach starts with learning about you: what are your goals? What are you great at? What is the most challenging thing that gets in the way of you meeting your goals? What foods do you love and what do you avoid? Do you enjoy cooking or prefer foods to be quick and easy? Do you like to make one small change at a time or prefer a total reset? Do you need information or are you someone that knows what to do, but has a hard time sticking with it?"
