I am a Registered Dietitian specialized in Eating Disorders as well as dancers/athletes, food allergies and gastrointestinal disorders and diseases.

I practiced with my father for 5 years before he retired, and I learned from him what really works to get people well. He started practice in 1959 and had a wealth of experience that I learned from. I incoporated that into the latest techniques that I learned at Life Chiropractic College West, an excellent technical school, to get a very well rounded technical expertise.

Hi, I'm Brenna! I work with adolescents, teens and adults who are struggling with disordered eating, recovery from chronic dieting, binge-restrict cycles, body image concerns and wanting to be able to pursue health without obsession. It's common to be interested in or passionate about food, health, wellness exercise - but when those interests become inflexible, or don't allow for you to spend time and feel present doing other things that are important to you, it can be a sign to reach out.

I help women struggling with poor energy, digestive issues and frustrating symptoms make targeted nutrition and lifestyle changes to support hormones, improve gut health and increase energy. Unlike other providers who use restrictive diets to treat your symptoms, I use a whole body approach (reinforced by functional nutrition labs) to address the root of the problem, and make specific nutrition and lifestyle suggestions based on your results.

My ideal clients are people ready to take an active role in their health — often dealing with chronic or nerve-related pain, headaches, an injury that hasn't fully healed, or the physical toll of stress and poor sleep. Many have tried other approaches and want care that treats the whole picture, not just symptoms. I help them move forward with individualized, evidence-based acupuncture, electroacupuncture, dry needling, and herbal medicine, clear and measurable goals, and honest check-ins so they always know whether treatment is working. I also welcome clients seeking facial acupuncture and microneedling for skin health.

As a Holistic Health Practitioner I assist my clients in healing their discomfort and pain such as neck and shoulder pain, back and hip problems and recovery from injuries. Biodynamic Bodywork developed in my practice throughout the years to help people with their unique and specific pain patterns. I specialize in Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) to support the fluids and detoxification, and work with cancer patients to diminish the side effects of chemo therapy and lymph edema. Because LDT is very gentle, it helps diminish swelling and pain after surgery, including plastic surgery. Very importantly LDT boosts the immune system.

Medical diagnoses are freightenting. Often, I have found my clients receive little education on ways to manage clinical conditions, such as chronic kidney disease and diabetes. With limited guidance, their condition progresses and can result in profound impacts on physical and mental health, and quality of life.
