Background
As a registered dietitian and licensed dietitian nutritionist, wife, working mother of three active children, and former college athlete, I understand how life can throw you curve balls when it comes to nutrition. With a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from Bradley University (Peoria, IL), my goal is to empower individuals to live life to the fullest through whole foods in an individualized, evidenced-based approach. I will motivate and challenge you to help make small, life-long nutrition changes to help you feel better in this crazy game called life.
My approach to nutrition counseling starts with truly understanding an individual’s short-term and long-term goals and how I can help YOU! Are you an athlete wanting to maximize your performance or a runner trying to PR at your next race or feel better when lifting at the gym? Maybe you want to be more active with your children or are a new parent needing help planning meals for you and your family. I am here to help, listen and equip you with a personalized nutrition game plan for success.
I truly believe to excel in nutrition and performance, it takes time and commitment. My philosophy to nutrition counseling is a more proactive rather than reactive approach with emphasis on integrating more whole foods. To WIN in nutrition, you need accountability and have regular check-ins. I generally suggest meeting weekly or bi-weekly throughout your nutrition journey to set you up for reaching your goals. I am here to empower, encourage, and keep you accountable every step of the way. All individuals have hurdles they have to overcome and we will work through these together as a TEAM.
Personally, I am a former college softball athlete and currently an individual who loves running, lifting, and going to yoga classes. As a mother of two young athletes and a very active toddler, I am also passionate about making nutrition a focus for the entire family. I know how important nutrition can influence overall health and by taking a more proactive approach to your health is my mission.
Life is worth living to the fullest and I am excited to work with you to help you reach your goals!
