Does any of this sound like you? You desperately want to lose weight and feel good in your body. You know you need to make nutrition and lifestyle changes, but you feel overwhelmed. You've tried so many times before, you wonder if change is even possible for you. You feel like every time you make “good” choices, it only lasts a few days before your cravings lead you back to your usual habits, and you wish you could be in control around food. You’re confused and frustrated by conflicting information and wonder what you should be eating. You know you need a plan that you can stick to, a plan that is both effective AND enjoyable.

I help patients whose lives are gripped by anxiety and stress. I know first hand what it feels like to have life ruled by anxiety and stress, as this was my experience for the first couple of decades of my life.

I am a plant based dietitian who loves to make healthy eating simple and satisfying. It is difficult to make healthy choices while surrounded by so many convenience foods that are quick, affordable, and tasty. Also, when we think about healthy foods, especially fruits and vegetables - we associate higher costs, longer meal prep times, and a lack of flavor. But the truth is you can use foods that are familiar to you and full of flavor in order to improve your health while saving time and money in the process! Let's work together so that I can teach you how.

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.
