Background

I have 30+ years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist.  I work with  adults who have Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, pre diabetes, and gestational diabetes.  I especially like helping people with type 2 diabetes achieve remission and those with pre diabetes prevent progression to full-blown diabetes. 

 

I also specialize in other cardio-metabolic conditions such as obesity, fatty liver disease, PCOS, and cardiovascular disease. 

 

During my free time I enjoy playing Pickleball and frisbee, practicing yoga, walking my dog, and visiting my adult children in New York and Colorado. 

 

I love what I do and truly believe what we eat impacts our health and well-being.  Seeing my clients succeed in achieving their health goals brings me great joy!

Approach

"When clients show up to meet with me, I know they are ready to make changes because showing up takes courage and commitment. I actively listen and want to know your goals, expectations and concerns so that we may collaborate to get you the best possible outcomes. I focus on strategies and solutions, trial & error, followed by seeing if the plan worked. If not, we change the plan, try again, keep it positive, and hopefully have some fun along the journey!"

While a handful of clients hoped for more structured follow‑up, the vast majority praise her for setting realistic goals and explaining nutrition in a way that finally “clicks.”

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