I will begin by learning about you. I want to know you. I am transparent and want you to know me as well. I want to be your cheerleader. I was not blessed with the skinny gene. I am a regular person, just like you. That allows me to relate to you.
I will ask you to tell me what you are most concerned about. Your answer will determine the focus of our time together. I'm experienced in many modalities. Together, we will figure out what will work best for you.
I am a Registered, Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist. I have been practicing since 1982. I have served on the faculty of the University of North Florida and the University of Florida in clinical nutrition, community nutrition and food service management. I recently served as the Chair of the Dietitians in Integrative and Functional Practice Group. I am currently completing an EdD in eLearning. My area of research is diabetes education for medical staff.
I garden in my spare time.
I built a private practice because I was unhappy with restraints in healthcare that did not allow me the time needed to help my clients get better.
"You are unique. Your meal plan should be too. I take the time to listen and understand you and your goals. Together, we will design a plan to get you where you want to be using the foods that you are willing and able to eat. My goal is to get you to the point where you do not need me anymore because you will have the skills you need!"
