I offer a weight neutral, client-centered, non-judgmental, trauma informed and somatically oriented approach to nutrition counseling where we work together to explore and heal your relationship with food and body image. I specialize in working with folks who have eating disorders, disordered eating, diabetes, PCOS and athletes. These experiences help inform my nutrition practice and I’m excited to continue to learn from the clients I have the privilege of working with now.

I help my patients find the root cause of their disease or symptoms, and provide an individualized approach to treatment based on their unique needs. I specifically work with a lot of hormonal issues including menstrual pain or irregularities, PCOS, and fertility issues as well as digestive issues including bloating, constipation, diarrhea, Irritable Bowel, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, food sensitivities, and more. With the right tools, testing, and proper evaluation, it is possible to get the answers that we need so you can feel good, have more energy, and live a pain-free life.

I can help you by doing "medical detective" work. This means addressing the most fundamental causes of disease, not just treating symptoms. Many of my patients have seen multiple specialists with no improvement, and are tired of drugs and their side effects. If you are ready for a new, natural, comprehensive approach to your health, let's embark on the journey together. Let's get to the bottom of what's going on, and work together to improve not only how you look & feel now, but prevent problems in the future.

At least 80% of people who seek long-term weight loss will regain that weight. And so begins the cycle that many find themselves in - up and down, up and down. If you feel the frustration of that rollercoaster and are ready to discover your 'why' and begin the path to sustainable weight loss, then I am ready to partner with you in achieving your goals.

As a dietitian I am able to help people in a variety of ways. From sports performance, weight management, diabetes and disease management and other client needs I have been trained in a variety of areas to understand and apply science and research to develop the plan of action to help. Using evidenced based practices, I am able to create and execute a realistic and achievable plan for my clients.

As a nurse massage therapist and transformative nurse coach, I offer a unique blend of traditional medical training along with a variety of complementary healing modalities to better serve my clients. This enables me to create a safe and comforting environment addressing the complex medical, rehabilitative and emotional needs of those under my care. If you desire a change in your life and/or in your body and seek direction or a spark of inspiration, let’s co-create a plan to help you realign.

I help folks heal from perfectionism around food and their bodies so they can live fully nourished through fertility, pregnancy and beyond. I’m a strong believer that your body is wise, and that tuning into your innate wisdom is powerful. I want to help you find that power through reconnecting to your body, and with a little nutrition science along the way, reach your reproductive health goals and ultimately live your best life. I believe nutrition should be truly holistic - which means it takes into account your mental and emotional health too.

Through my practice, Food Full Circle, I strive to help you heal your relationship with food and nourish your body through weight-neutral, personalized nutrition counseling. Taking a holistic (whole-person/whole-picture) approach is crucial for meeting health & wellness goals. I incorporate mindfulness principles as well as integrative & functional nutrition in order to help people from all walks of life optimize their health. This is nutrition for every BODY, full-circle. If you find yourself constantly thinking about food, always counting calories, or shaming yourself when you eat certain foods, I'd love to help!

If you haven’t been successful in resolving your internal condition with conventional or alternative medicine and searching for a more advanced treatment, this is the right place. I specialize in advanced “natural” alternative treatment for internal chronic conditions, such as autoimmune disorders, inflammations, allergies, immune issues, hormonal balance, digestive, respiratory, and gynecological conditions. My advanced Japanese style acupuncture not only alleviates symptoms, but also strengthens vital organs, builds immune system, and restores balance. Each treatment is profound, activating the body to heal within.

My goal as a Registered Dietitian is to help others find peace with food, their bodies, and movement. I work with people of all ages and specialize in the treatment of eating disorders and disordered eating, although I accept clients who are struggling with their overall relationship with food or are dealing with nutrition-related health complications, such as GI issues. There is a lot of nutrition misinformation available and I want to provide evidence-based nutrition to debunk diet culture myths and help clients heal their relationship with food.

I love helping individuals of all ages to heal relationships with food, eating, and body image.

I have a passion for busting nutrition myths and educating about what we can add rather than subtract from our diet.

I founded my company, Total Nutrition Technology (TNT) is 1993 due to my own struggles with weight and health. I understand that when it comes to weight loss & health management it is a personal journey- not a one size fits all. My mission is to help others sift through all of the misinformation we have been bombarded with by our society and help each individual find what is best for them and their lifestyle. We specialize in weight loss, health management and sports performance. TNT is physician endorsed and has helped thousands achieve and sustain their goals.

Smart healthcare and results are my passion! Using a body constitution approach, I tailor treatments for nerve and joint pain, gastrointestinal and auto-immune disorders. Knowing your particular body constitution is vital since your treatment could be completely different from someone else even if you have the exact same symptoms and diagnosis. What you eat is also very important so you know how to maintain the treatments you receive from me. As part of my care, every patient receives comprehensive dietary and lifestyle activities counseling.

We know change is not easy. We know finding food freedom can sound scary (maybe even impossible). It is our mission to guide you through uncharted territory and give you the knowledge and support you need to make real and lasting changes. Our approach to health and nutrition is weight-inclusive, and will always focus on finding peace and balance with food and exercise. We are continuously educating ourselves to provide a safe and welcoming space for all individuals. We work to analyze eating habits together and make changes based on where you are.
