Are you stuck bingeing or overeating, thinking about food 24/7, feeling stuck with food guilt & shame, or struggle with negative body image thoughts? I'm a Registered Dietitian and before I discovered Intuitive Eating, I never thought a "normal" relationship with food was possible. I thought I would always be fighting cravings, bingeing, constantly thinking about food, and hating my body. Everywhere I turned for guidance, I was told I just needed to have more discipline and self control. I was trapped in this cycle for 10+ years and desperate for a way out. If this is YOU, I want you to know you are not alone and there is a way out.

As a Nutrition Therapist, my goal is to repair, rebuild and restore you back to health by teaching you how to renourish yourself mind, body and spirit, verses just teaching you how to eat. In most cases, successful nutrition therapy is not a "quick-fix". My role is to have a clear understanding of your goals and to work with you step-by-step in helping you to achieve them. I have a collaborative approach focusing on progress not perfection and believe in using the food plan that best fits you.

The goal is to empower my clients with the nutrition basics of managing their health goals and/or conditions. The coming together of knowledge and action is the key to inspiring change.

Then we discuss 1-2 practical actions that contribute to the desired health goals established.
