Are you looking for a way to heal not only the symptoms you are experiencing but also the root cause of those symptoms? Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes treating both with the use of acupuncture, herbs, and diet and lifestyle advice. These treatment modalities originate from an ancient healing system that has a 5000 year old history. Traditional Chinese Medicine is about balance and harmony, the energetic interplay of yin and yang. It emphasizes treating the mind, body, and spirit.

Eating is complex and personal. Eating can be joyful and nourishing or filled with conflict and pain from past experiences, sometimes passed down through generations. Aside from our individual and family history, our culture and often the world of health care can be harsh and stigmatizing about matters of size and shape and lead people to be in a constant battle with their bodies. Further, the world of nutrition and healthy eating advice can be full of contradiction, misinformation, and rigidity. Finally, any sort of physical issue or illness affected by eating behavior and food choices make it hard to know how to eat to be well.

I'm passionate about helping individuals develop & maintain a peaceful relationship with food. I whole-heartedly believe that proper nutrition plays an important role in keeping one’s mind and body functioning to the best of its abilities, but that it doesn’t need to be as complicated as society might lead one to believe. I believe in an "all foods fit" approach and will strive to help you optimize your nutritional intake while honoring your body's hunger cues & genuine cravings. I'm a Health At Every Size RD and focus on behaviors with food over the number on the scale - because there is so much more to health than what you weigh!
