If you're feeling like you're losing a longstanding battle with your body, you're not alone. Or perhaps your constant attempts to control food ends up feeling like food is controlling you and your life. Again, you are not alone. You do not have to live a life that is limited by food rules, even if they're in the name of health. You do not have to live in constant worry about what others will think of your body. You do not have to waste the majority of your precious mental and emotional capacity ruminating on food and your body. Because: you were born for great things.

I am deeply passionate about acupuncture and its incredible ability to promote healing and transformation in all bodies. Acupuncture is an ancient medicine which views the body as a unified whole and encourages health through balance and regulation of body-wide systems. It is an excellent therapy for the treatment of pain, injuries, digestive issues, fertility and gynecological concerns, headaches, psycho-emotional imbalances, sleep disorders, and so much more. Not to mention it offers you a rare opportunity to relax and recharge free from distraction.

Many of us are taught messages about food and health as far back as we can remember, and all of these “rules” can feel overwhelming.

I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and trained Functional Dietitian focusing on holistic approaches to healing chronic and complex diseases. My areas of focus include women’s nutrition (PCOS, endometriosis, menopause, amenorrhea and other menstrual disorders), digestive disorders and diseases (IBS, SIBO, Celiac, Crohn’s, Colitis, and dysbiosis), metabolic conditions (blood sugar dysregulation and high cholesterol) and autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. I specialize in fertility nutrition for those trying to conceive, including general support and those going through Assisted Reproductive Technology.

How many diets have you tried and quit? What if I told you that it wasn’t you failing the diet, but the diet failing YOU? Many of us grew up believing that thin equals healthy, and that sticking to rigid rules around eating and moving would lead to happiness and success. But in reality, sticking to food rules creates stronger and stronger cravings, feelings of powerlessness or guilt, and disconnection from the body’s signals of hunger, fullness, thirst, and more! Dieting can even lead to total loss of control, binge eating, and shame spirals. To heal a chaotic relationship with food, the first step is understand this cycle.

I support clients who struggle with endometriosis, unexplained digestive issues, painful periods, and weight changes. I also work alongside clients who are starting a fertility journey, are already pregnant, or are post-partum and looking for nutrition support through this life stage. Through non-restrictive lifestyle changes, we can work together to find foods that are tolerated, nourish your body, reduce inflammation, and improve your relationship with food and body.

Are you tired of being confused about what to eat? I'm here for you! As a nutritionist that has practiced for nearly twenty years, I have seen a lot of fads come and go. And I have worked with so many of you who have come to me unsure about which fad was “right”. Instead of focusing on the perfectly “right” way to eat, I help my clients find the right ways to eat for them, while also helping to reverse prediabetes, improve fertility or symptoms with PCOS, and create a more resilient immune and hormonal balance with autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s disease.

After extensive research and dissection of the human body during my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology from the University of Colorado, I went on to massage school in Washington.

In a world where we have unlimited access to overwhelming and confusing information about health, it can be challenging to know where to start. The foods we enjoy, our relationships with them, and how our bodies respond are so individualized that our approach has to be too!

I first discovered acupuncture while completing my pre-reqs with the intention of attending medical school at UW - I was struggling with migraines that Western Medicine was incapable of helping me with. An Acupuncturist was able to help me live a migraine free life what I couldn't have previously imagined was possible. I simply fell in love with the medicine and altered my course to pursue my Masters in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. Fast forward 14 years, I still love the medicine and am thrilled, on a daily basis, on how I am able to help people improve their lives with a natural, holistic approach to their health.
