Health Professionals in Charlotte, NC

We are experts in empowering you to better health. By focusing on the real issues causing your health conditions, we take the time to educate and guide you through a program, for you to have the health you want and deserve. Imagine waking up feeling refreshed, getting dressed and feeling confident because of how well your clothes fit, having a clear mind, knowing how to feed and fuel your body in a way that you enjoy and keeps you healthy, having your hormonal levels in balance, being able to physically move your body to enjoy travel, time with kids/grandkids, and being able to get a solid night sleep, every night, without drugs.

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 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.

I live and practice by the belief that all foods have a place in a healthy and balanced diet, and that no one food is “bad”. In a society where we are constantly searching for the next trending diet plan or magic pill, I am committed to countering the noise with evidence-based information and a mind-body approach to nutrition and overall wellbeing. I am passionate about helping my clients make realistic and sustainable lifestyle changes that they feel good about – physically, mentally and emotionally.

Have you ever thought, "I can't eat this it will make me gain weight." or "I ate too much, so now I need to workout to burn it off." Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to enjoy food without the feelings of guilt associated with your choices?

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.

I am a naturopathic doctor (ND) here to help you address the root cause(s) of your health concerns and improve your health through education, partnership, support and natural, drug-free therapies. Our health is affected by many factors. I am here to educate & empower you towards the health promoting actions, thoughts, & choices within your control so you are free to be the most healthy, vibrant, beautiful & balanced YOU possible.

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.

I’m a registered dietitian with a private practice that supports individuals struggling with eating disorders, chronic dieting, and body image issues - for the folks I work with, food feels hard. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space for all individuals to share and process their experiences - my style is warm, accessible, and not without humor. I regularly integrate nutrition science with body-based (somatic) practices and therapeutic coaching to help my clients learn to nourish themselves from the bottom up, with confidence.

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.

Aspire is an integrated practice, providing nutrition and mental health counseling, that has created a culture supportive of intuitive eating, using therapeutic interventions and mindfulness practices to enhance the nourishment of individuals. We are a team of social workers, registered dietitians and mental health counselors who are passionate about preventing and treating mental illness and improving overall community health. People easily understand the connection between nutritional deficiencies and physical illness, however few people understand the connection between nutrition, depression and mental illness.

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.

If you are struggling to develop a peaceful relationship with food, know that you are not alone. Confusing messages telling us how to eat, what to eat, and when to eat can make us wonder why eating has gotten so complicated. The short answer: it doesn't have to be. Whether you have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, suffer from disordered eating, or just want to know how to nourish your body without going on another diet, I can help.

Do you have type 2 diabetes or pre diabetes and want to reverse it? Are you ready to throw in the towel in trying to manage type 1 diabetes?

After working with me you will feel empowered, confident, and have the tools to manage your health for the long haul!

Are you looking to manage your weight or a health condition such as diabetes, heart disease, a GI disorder, or an autoimmune disease/inflammatory condition? Trying to determine how to nourish yourself while pregnant or navigating a women's health concern such as PCOS or menopause? Or perhaps looking for some guidance in a world filled with conflicting nutrition information?

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 experience providing nutrition counseling for different levels of eating disorders and disordered eating, Medical Nutrition Therapy for disease states, as well as general nutrition education from an evidence-based approach. I have a passion for busting nutrition myths and educating about what we can add rather than subtract from our diet.
