Each patient that comes in to see me has a story to tell. I listen and address the root causes that guides each person towards a path to health and well-being. We will create an individualized program that includes meal planning and recipes, along with a functional approach to feeling better and getting the results you want. If needed, we can test for food sensitivities using LEAP/MRT, hormones, micronutrient deficiencies, cardiometabolic, and stool testing for gut health. This holistic approach assesses someone's body as a whole to bring balance back into one's life.

Do you struggle knowing what foods are good for your kidney health? Do you see conflicting information online and feel confused about what is best for you? Did you only get a one page handout from your nephrologist with foods to avoid and foods to eat? If you answered YES to any of these questions, you are not alone and you are in the right place! Feeling overwhelmed about what to eat to improve and protect your kidney function is all too common. As a Renal Dietitian with over 10 year of experience, I help adults with CKD protect their kidneys and improve energy levels by increasing confidence with food.

Navigating food and diet in our society can be confusing (diet-culture, anyone?). It it easy to feel as though the recommendations for how we are supposed to eat changes from day-to-day. Increase fruit, but not too much, but on Sunday's don't eat fruit; Try Keto for 24 hours and then eat a high carb meal; Make sure you're eating protein and only protein, but remember that too much protein is bad for you. Yikes. No wonder you're seeking guidance from a Registered Dietitian (RD)! Working with me is a place to come to receive factual nutrition information about how to properly feed your body to feel your best.

I've seen the strengths and weaknesses of modern medicine firsthand as a Medic and Critical Care Nurse over 23 years. There is no easy way to convey the power I've s seen through Eastern Medicine techniques, many of which are now being brought to the mainstream. Whether it's dietary threapy, herbal medicine, needling, cuppin, they have their roots in Eastern Medicine. The modern takes on these tools often lack the unifying vision for how and when to use them, when not to, when to be gentle and when to be more aggressive. These are the kinds of neiuances only a comprehensively trained practitioner can offer to you.

Is this you? You were diagnosed with PCOS and told to “just lose weight and come back when you want to get pregnant” but you have symptoms that you want addressed now... like elevated blood sugar, fatigue, and irregular periods. You've tried so many diets but dieting only leads you to binge because you have constant hunger and sugar cravings. You love the idea of intuitive eating and letting go of dieting but you're not sure what that looks like when you're trying to manage PCOS.
