As an anti-diet, HAES-aligned dietitian, I believe that restrictive diets can lead to harmful patterns of behavior that have real physical and emotional consequences. I support clients from all walks of life through disordered eating, chronic dieting, and binge and emotional eating. I also have a special interest in family feeding including children and families with selective (picky) eating and ARFID as well as growth, development, and weight concerns.

I am still amazed at the broad range of health issues that acupuncture can treat successfully.I have been in practice since 2003 and the top four issues that seem to show up at my office time and time again are migraine headache, anxiety, allergies and issues relating to female reproduction which include menstrual, menopausal and fertility health. What sets acupuncture apart from other forms of medicine is that it seeks to address the underlying cause of illness. This approach is restorative to health bringing balance to body, mind and spirit.

Do you ever eat beyond the point of fullness or feel guilty for what you ate? Do you find yourself eating for reasons other than hunger? Have you tried a diet (or a lifetime of diets) and "failed," only to put the weight back on...and then some? Are you frustrated by your relationship to food and your body? Do you know what to do but have a hard time following through? If you answered YES to any of these questions, you are not alone and you are in the right place! Happy Valley Nutrition is the Pioneer Valley's ONLY group practice of weight-inclusive, fat-positive, HAES-aligned RDs.

I combine Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Shiatsu, Massage, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Nutrition, Energy Work, Shamanic Healing and Breath Work, creating a unique, synergistically enhanced healing experience. I am both deeply intuitive and scientifically rational; my work moves seamlessly between modalities allowing each to enhance the healing power of the other. The integration of deep structural massage, subtle energy work, and transformative breath and spirit work leaves one feeling deeply satisfied and vital.

What if the problem isn’t your willpower - but the way diet culture has taught you to disconnect from your body? Maybe you’ve spent years measuring worth in calories, steps, or the number on the scale. You follow the rules, until you can’t - then feel like you’ve failed. The cycle is exhausting: restrict, obsess, lose control, repeat. You’re not broken- you’ve just spent so long trying to control your body that you’ve missed the wisdom it’s been offering all along. You want to eat without guilt, live without fear, and finally feel free in your own skin.

I'm particularly good at educating my patients, about their current health conditions, and about treatment and prevention. I came into medicine strongly influenced by the women's self-care movement of the '70; I believe health care can be about giving people control over their bodies and their lives. While homeopathy is only one of the modalities I use, the skills needed to be a good homeopath, deeply understanding a patient, serve me (and my patients) well in whatever form of treatment we choose.

We are overloaded with information about food and exercise, but often struggle to find the wisdom needed to nurture these relationships. To address these issues, I have studied and worked with some of the best athletes, coaches, and teams in the world. I have cofounded research-based programs and initiatives to treat athletes struggling with eating disorders, and aim to distill the knowledge and wisdom needed to translate nutrition and exercise science into practical solutions to help you achieve your dreams. I look forward to hearing about your goals and learning how I can best equip you to develop your own sense of mastery!

I'm a bilingual registered dietitian and a military veteran who specializes in sports nutrition/performance, disordered eating/eating disorders, and general nutrition.

I can help guide you tune in to your own body’s needs. I offer science-based information and recommendations to help you improve eating habits, and overall help you mend any negative relationship you may have with food and nutrition.

You’re eating healthy, you’ve tried the workouts, maybe even the meds—and still, the scale won’t budge. You’re not broken. You just need a metabolism-first plan designed for YOUR body. I help busy adults reclaim their energy, improve digestion, and finally lose weight—without meds, meal plans you hate, or diets that don’t work.

Experience healing in a whole new light. Imagine being met with presence, treated with care and respect and being guided to wholeness, all the while noticing that week by week, you start to feel better. As symptoms disappear, you feel more vital, clear and your desire to actively participate and engage in life increases. This describes the experience of many patients of New Dawn Healing Arts. This is why they continue to refer their mothers, sisters, husbands, bosses and best friends.
