My Specialities

Nutrition Counseling

  • As a dietitian with a history of prediabetes, I understand how all-consuming a diagnosis can feel. I provide compassionate, personalized, evidence-based care, and strategies to help you manage your blood sugar while still enjoying your favorite foods.

  • I have experience working with clients navigating GLP-1 medications, for diabetes or otherwise. Together we can develop a nutrition and wellness plan to nourish your body, preserve lean muscle mass, and promote a healthy lifestyle.

  • Women’s health and nutritional needs change throughout their lifespan. I’ll listen, and help you navigate your unique nutrition and health goals of your life phase so you can thrive.

  • Healing your relationship with food and your body will allow you to approach food as a source of nourishment and joy. I believe in and support weight-neutral nutrition counseling and health care. Together, we’ll focus on health markers and nutrition goals rather than just numbers on a scale.

  • Properly fueling your body for movement elevates your performance. I approach exercise nutrition with an intuitive eating framework and a weight-netural mindset.

Culinary Nutrition & Coaching

  • These sessions focus on building confidence in the kitchen, meal planning without diet culture, and learning how to make nourishing meals taste incredible.

  • Have you always wondered what’s truly healthy in your kitchen and what’s just taking up space? I’ll help you edit packed cabinets, and figure out what to add based on your personalized nutritional needs.

  • Anyone can learn how to cook, and when you feel empowered in the kitchen, you can better support your health. From basic knife skills to chef and nutrition tricks that make cooking easier and meals healthier, I’ve got your back! Private classes. Online, or in person.
