My nutrition counseling style is informal and judgement free because nutrition is personal. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease with me because I know how strong feelings about health and nutrition are and I want to honor my clients where they are in their journey.

What motivates you to help others achieve their nutritional goals and lead healthier lives?
I’m passionate about helping others improve their health without extreme diets. I have seen too many clients, friends, and family members struggle with a poor relationship with food and feel like a failure. I want people to be able to see there is a way to wellness that doesn’t involve obsessing over food, cutting out their favorite things, and being able to enjoy meals again.
What is your nutrition philosophy?
I’m an anti-diet dietitian working to help people improve their relationship with food, body, and mind. I follow intuitive eating principles to help clients ditch diets for good. Nutrition science is complex and I want to help make it more digestible (pun intended!) and applicable. I love creating a well-rounded wellness plan to help you achieve your goals and feel your best.
What’s one piece of advice you’d give someone who’s nervous to start their nutrition journey?
You have a start to where you’re at, no one goes from 0-100 overnight and change is hard, celebrate the small wins along the way and remind yourself of your why.
