Health Professionals in South Carolina
Through personalized support, evidence-based guidance, and compassionate care, we provide a fresh perspective on nutrition and empower clients to nourish their bodies in a way that promotes joy, fulfillment, and wellness. We balance evidenced-based nutrition information with intuitive and mindful eating principles. While it's important to be aware of nutrition science and eat a balanced diet, it's equally, if not more important to have a healthy and positive relationship with food. We work on improving that relationship with food while finding a pattern of eating that incorporates balance, moderation and joy.

If they have an eating disorder, they are ready to learn how to move past it and repair their relationship with themselves and their food.

Finding peace with food can seem difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. Eating is an essential part of each day, and when you feel constricted by it, it effects other aspects of life. I want to help you find freedom and put joy back back into eating. If you struggle with cyclic dieting, disordered eating, or even feel out of control with food, you’ve come to the right place. I believe in intuitive eating and engage in a non-diet approach that helps you break free from diet mentality and food guilt. My approach is individualized and focused on what is most beneficial for you in your current time and environment.
