Background

I have been a Registered and Licensed Dietitian for 9 years as well as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant for 2 years. I have worked with pregnant and lactating women for 7 years, worked as a geriatric dietitian for 5 years helping the elderly to manage their chronic conditions, and have worked as a clinical dietitian caring for malnourished, wounded, and critically ill patients in the ICU.

I am passionate about helping people fuel their bodies and motivate them to meet their goals. Whether you want to lose weight without restriction, nourish your body and your baby during pregnancy, replenish needs during the post-partum period, or manage conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or cholesterol, I will meet you where you are and help you every step of the way! From our sessions, you will gain the knowledge and confidence to make the best choices for yourself and I will be there to guide you through your journey and share in your success.

When I am not working, you can find me reading a book, lifting at the gym, or chasing my toddler around the house. I enjoy a good cup of tea, love a piece (or two) of chocolate, and I like pineapple on my pizza. I have a passion for trying new foods, playing around and experimenting in the kitchen, and am always trying to plan my next beach trip!

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