Behind everything I do, the intention is simple: bringing you back to your body. 

​

As a Registered Dietitian, I look at the body as a whole and a person in their entirety, exploring the physical, mental, and emotional manifestations of health in the body. Working with the human body means I am a forever student, and my approach encompasses ongoing education in the body systems, eastern medicine, and herbalism.

​

Most of my schooling was based largely off of the physical - biology, chemistry, anatomy, etc.; and while understanding the biochemistry of the body is crucial, the other half is understanding the energetics of the body. Understanding the role emotions and energy play in our cells, our organ systems, our tissues, etc. - making the connection between emotions and illness.

​

My interest in nutrition started in high school after joining the cross country and track teams and has only deepened since then. What started solely as a way to become better at my sport evolved into my passion. Ever since I was a teenager, I have felt the body has the innate ability to heal itself should we give it what it needs to do so. I like to say I’ve lived 10 lives in this one lifetime, as I played many different roles, working in marketing, insurance, as a personal trainer, and more until I finally finished my schooling and began pursuing my dream (8 years later…).

​

My personal experience with my body has been quite a journey, but ultimately a blessing, as I feel having gone through and healed from an experience provides you with the knowledge and compassion to guide others in doing the same. At the age of 14 I fell into an eating disorder that I dealt with for a large portion of my life. Overcoming that and all of the intricacies that come along with it was the hardest thing I have ever done. I fought every single day, and continued losing every single day, until I realized I was going about it all wrong. Once I changed my approach I finally found healing, and it’s the same approach I now use with my eating disorder clients today. It’s a path that led me into self-love and cultivated a deep relationship with my body - which is a gift I hope to give to everyone I work with.

​

I am fortunate enough to have also been forced to take a deeper dive into the body as I healed from my own gut health issues, successfully fostering my body back into balance.

 

All that being said, if I’ve learned anything, it’s that the body is brilliant and it will humble you. Understanding your body is a bit of a lifelong mission and can be a frustrating journey at times (take it from me), but it’s why I’m so passionate about guiding others in doing the same.

 

My life’s work is dedicated to understanding the body’s intricacies, guiding other's on their path to healing, and forming a deeper relationship with my own as I go along. Where applicable, I provide my clients with guidance and tools that I used from my own healing journey, as well as my professional knowledge.

​

I am amazed everyday by the human body and its brilliance, and absolutely love what I do.

​

Beyond my private practice, I have worked at a mental health outpatient clinic as well as a treatment center for substance use, providing both individualized care and teaching groups. I work with both children and adults, specializing in eating disorders, mental health, gut health, and a variety of chronic conditions (diabetes, GERD, high cholesterol, etc.).

 

My goal is to continue to expand my knowledge in all realms so I can better guide my clients to their ultimate health.
