Health Professionals in Illinois

At our first session, the average person tells me "I know what I need to do, I just wish I had the willpower to do it." Many rely on sheer willpower to accomplish their goals instead of learning how to make nutrition a simple and enjoyable process. Nutrition is not supposed to be this hard or guilt-inducing. It should primarily mold around your general life and preferences, not the other way around. My main approach to accomplish this is to build a basic understanding on why your old habits do not work, and why these new habits will work.

Clients are often tired of rigid food rules and constant dieting. It can be overwhelming to be expected to change the way you eat overnight.

I have been a Registered Dietitian for over 10 years, working mostly in clinical, and community outpatient settings. I have in depth experience with gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, and heart health. After becoming a dietitian, I realized making a change is so much deeper than just “will power” and I developed fiery passion to help people navigate change through balance, which then lead me to have a passion for counseling people with disordered eating/eating disorders.

Are you tired of feeling tired? Do you know you aren’t feeling your best? Are you struggling with where to start on your wellness journey? With an evidence-based & integrative naturopathic plan to meet your specific needs you can regain your vitality and live a vital life. Naturopathic care is root cause wellness that goes beyond merely addressing the symptoms of disease or disturbance within the body. Its foundation lies in re-establishing the conditions for health, so that our bodies are able to fully utilize their self repairing and regulating properties to function properly.

As a Naturopath, I address the same problems that medical doctors see every day in their office. However, instead of treating a patient with medications that suppress symptoms, I work to find out what is causing the undesirable conditions. By exploring your specific symptoms and body/organ/gland conditions during your consultation, much can be learned about how your body is expressing nutritional deficiencies, the need to detoxify, weakened organ/glands, sensitivity to foods, emotional issues and more. Once this is understood it is often easy to explain how and why such negative symptoms and diseases have surfaced in the body.
