Background
As your Registered Dietitian, I will empower you to adapt gradual, sustainable lifestyle changes that enhance your health and well-being. Clients can expect straightforward practical evidence-based nutritional guidance. I collaborate best with clients who maintain a realistic outlook, are truthful with themselves and their healthcare team and exercise patience throughout their journey. Primary focus areas include general nutrition, weight management, hypertension, heart failure, pre-diabetes, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease.
A native of Norfolk, Virginia, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science/Health and Physical Education with a concentration in Dietetics from Norfolk State University. I went on to complete a vigorous 8-month combined dietetic internship and graduate certificate program at Virginia State University. I bring more than 3 years’ experience working in clinical settings encompassing inpatient and outpatient care offering personalized diet education and counseling to patients and their caregivers.
What sets me apart from most Registered Dietitians is my dual expertise, being both a Registered Dietitian and an ACE Certified Personal Trainer. As a group fitness instructor, I thoroughly enjoy integrating singing, especially Whitney Houston, while coaching energetic group fitness classes. I am the mother of an adult son and teenage daughter. If you are ready for a lifestyle change, today is the day. Book now! Let’s talk about food and fitness.
