Background
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics and bring over 10 years of clinical experience to my practice. My areas of expertise include bariatric surgery, diabetes management, pediatrics, disordered eating, and chronic disease management. Throughout the past decade, I have committed myself to ongoing education, ensuring that I remain informed about the latest advancements in the field of nutrition. This dedication enables me to effectively apply my knowledge during one-on-one client sessions, empowering individuals to lead healthier lives and fostering confidence in their dietary choices.
With proficiency in four languages and international experience, I excel at delivering evidence-based nutrition advice that is tailored to diverse cultures and backgrounds. I have a genuine passion for languages and cultures, and I find great joy in learning how different communities approach health and wellness. This understanding allows me to help clients adopt healthier lifestyles that are relevant and meaningful to them.
My journey into the field of dietetics began at the age of 14 when I was referred to a dietitian due to concerns about my body weight. The empathy and connection I experienced during that time profoundly impacted me. This encounter not only helped me cultivate a balanced relationship with food and body image but also inspired me to pursue a career as a dietitian.
In addition to my professional interests. I enjoy hiking, horseback riding, exploring languages, and appreciating the arts, particularly fashion. As a new mother, I find that parenting has become a central passion in my life, bringing new joy and challenges that I embrace wholeheartedly.

Approach
"My approach focuses on building trust and fostering connection as I believe a trust-based therapeutic approach encourages openness and helps me better understand your unique set of values. I combine mind body connection in my work to get to the root cause of your nutritional problem. I strive to balance support and challenge in my work in order to help you feel supported, but also be independent and empowered enough to lead a healthy life on your own after our sessions are done."
