Each person is unique, and your nutrition should be too!
During each session, I enjoy working closely with my patients, listening deeply to their needs, and working together to develop a comprehensive nutrition care plan that addresses the root of the problem, meets them where they are, and is personalized to their needs and goals.
As an Integrative Clinical Nutritionist, I believe in the power of food as medicine and root-cause methodology to support my patients optimal health, to prevent and manage chronic diseases, and to promote wellness.
My approach utilizes an expanded toolkit of evidence-based Integrative and Functional Nutrition practices and can be employed to support a wide range of conditions.
Outside of my work with patients, I spend as much time outdoors as possible and love going on adventures! My family and I are avid gardeners with dreams of having a homestead someday. Most weekends, you can find me at the yoga studio or experimenting in the kitchen with new foods and recipes. I am passionate about volunteering and supporting local food-system initiatives.
A % of profits goes towards food system, nutrition education, food access, and regenerative agriculture non-profits!
