As a licensed physician who works in a functional medicine model, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and health coach, I work with patients with chronic diseases and symptoms to optimize their health and limit their medications through identification and healing of their core health imbalance(s).

After more than 30 years in the field, my passion for nutrition continues. Seeing a client find relief from pain and exhaustion is a joy! Plus, I can relate to their desperation to get their life back. In 2005 I put my knowledge of nutrition to the test when, two weeks after invasive back surgery I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shortly afterwards I discovered multiple food allergies. Once those were removed I stopped three prescription medications and feel better than I had in years. I absolutely love bringing that relief to clients!

For nearly 10 years, my body rebelled against my conventional low-fat, convenience food diet with IBS, intense anxiety, constant cravings, and chronic knee pain (all before the age of 25!). It wasn't until I learned about the healing power of a real food, anti-inflammatory diet and discovered some food sensitivities that I saw a dramatic relief in my digestive and joint symptoms, plus an improvement in how my brain functioned. Now, I am passionate about helping others find their own relief, breakthroughs, and successes in their journey of healing using simple, nutritious foods!

I am a non-diet Registered Dietitian, certified yoga instructor, and certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I’m passionate about using weight-inclusive nutrition expertise to help clients facilitate body image healing and recovery from disordered eating. Aligned with the Health at Every Size principles, I believe all healthcare should be trauma informed and social justice oriented - because all people, (regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation/expression, abilities, & socioeconomic status) deserve appropriate and affirming care.

Eating is complex and personal. Eating can be joyful and nourishing or filled with conflict and pain from past experiences, sometimes passed down through generations. Aside from our individual and family history, our culture and often the world of health care can be harsh and stigmatizing about matters of size and shape and lead people to be in a constant battle with their bodies. Further, the world of nutrition and healthy eating advice can be full of contradiction, misinformation, and rigidity. Finally, any sort of physical issue or illness affected by eating behavior and food choices make it hard to know how to eat to be well.

As a woman in her 50's, I intimately understand how our health and self-care can get put on the back burner while taking care of others. Regardless of how much nutrition or exercise knowledge a person has, it doesn't mean it is easy to integrate it into a daily routine. In my 40's, I took control of my life and health once again. I absolutely love showing other women how they can do the same through learning to fuel their bodies with quality nutrition, decreasing cravings and maximizing energy levels without depriving themselves of everything they love.

Feeling hopeless or frustrated about your health challenges? Let's change that! I help people with gut issues like IBS, food sensitivities, gluten intolerance and celiac disease. I've dealt with these issues myself- and overcome them. Healing the gut may improve symptoms elsewhere too. Symptoms from autoimmune disorders for example. And did you know your gut communicates with your brain? I'll teach you how food can improve anxiety, depression, even the risk of cognitive decline. Finally, I help people prevent or manage diabetes. I offer functional nutrition testing to further personalize your nutrition and lifestyle plan.

My nutrition philosophy is unique in that I focus on providing evidence-based, individualized nutrition recommendations focusing on moderation, variety, and how to fit patients' favorite foods into a healthy eating lifestyle. This can improve quality of life for many individuals who feel they must restrict certain foods to be healthy or lose weight. In addition, I have a special passion for working with individuals with eating disorders, athletes/dancers, weight management, and GI conditions/food allergies. I look forward to supporting you in your nutrition and health journey.
