Health Professionals near Lexington, SC

Are you an athlete or active individual, and struggle with knowing what to eat and when? Do you lack the knowledge to meal plan or cook on your own? Have you tried different diets to lose or gain weight before, with no success? Sometimes lacking confidence can be due to past failures. I give my clients confidence in reading what their body is telling them, and then they can apply science-based recommendations to see how much better they feel and perform. I partner with patients to hear their stories and use my experience to get down to the main reasons for their nutrition problems, and the process is always fun and engaging!

Finding peace with food can seem difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. Eating is an essential part of each day, and when you feel constricted by it, it effects other aspects of life. I want to help you find freedom and put joy back back into eating. If you struggle with cyclic dieting, disordered eating, or even feel out of control with food, you’ve come to the right place. I believe in intuitive eating and engage in a non-diet approach that helps you break free from diet mentality and food guilt. My approach is individualized and focused on what is most beneficial for you in your current time and environment.

My mission as a Registered Dietitian is to guide and help people weave a tapestry of wellness by building habits and skills to achieve goals despite imperfect practice. As we begin to learn more about our individual health through nutrition and exercise, our efforts to change may seem ineffective and imperfect because we are learning. I established Tapestry Wellness as an institute of learning and advocacy for better access and knowledge to enhance active adult living with medical nutrition therapy. Wellness is a journey like weaving a tapestry using different fabrics, colors, and materials. Tapestries are unique- just like you!
