Food is a daily part of life, and unfortunately for many, a daily challenge as well. For parents, it can be painful and nerve-wracking to watch their children deal with nutritional challenges of any kind. I help pediatric and adolescent clients build confidence with food, fostering independence and self-care.

A recent study showed that the average American has gained 16 pounds during COVID. With each unhealthy increase in BMI you are likely not feeling your best and are putting yourself at risk for chronic diseases. If you are having trouble keeping a healthy weight and unsure of what to eat? Maybe you feel like you are doing everything right, but still aren't seeing the results you want. If you have tried "diets" but find yourself frustrated, let's try a different approach.

I am a integrative lifestyle medicine dietitian with over 30 years experience working in a major medical center providing evidence based nutrition therapy approaches. My expertise and passion is in the areas of digestive health, GI nutrition and I am a FODMAP trained dietitian (for IBS) from the Monash University. I provide medical nutrition therapy for IBS, Crohns disease, inflammatory bowel conditions.

As a classical Naturopath, I specialize in healing. My use of natural remedies is designed to support the body's innate wisdom and natural tendencies toward renewal and replenishment to achieve optimal health. Your health reflects your unique life history, including your beliefs, habits and emotional style. The path to wellness is as personal as the circumstances that contributed to your life. I focus on identifying the root causes of your symptoms then tailor a protocol specifically for you, to enable you to work with your body's own innate self-healing intelligence, ultimately leading to wellness.

Are you seeking clarity in the complex nutrition-health space? Perhaps you've tried various dietitians, diets, or treatment programs, yet lasting peace with food and self still feels out of reach. You might feel disconnected from your body, carrying years of shame and self-blame, but still desire to feel 'at home' within yourself. Your goals echo a desire to mend your relationship with food and exercise with alignment that is rooted in internal trust and understanding, not external validation. True healing and happiness can't be found in another diet; it's an embodied journey back to self—safety and self-compassion intertwined.
