Welcome to Nutrition For Autism Recovery! I am so glad you found me! My passion as a dietitian is to lead parents with a child on the autism spectrum on the road to heal or "recover" their child through a functional nutrition approach. Many parents see recovery as a goal. I share this goal; however, this is not always seen, no matter the efforts put forth. Parents generally realize this. What we do see, however, is that the approach I take will produce significant improvements in all areas of your child’s autistic behaviors and symptoms! Please, give me a call or email. I’m here for you!

I practice a foods first approach and empower my clients by teaching them useful nutrition information.
