“Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity.”

- Voltaire

Did you know that approximately 50% of women are on a diet at any given time? I believe it! I’ve been there, and also seen it in my clinical practice. Unfortunately, the research shows that dieting is actually a predictor of weight gain and up to two-thirds of people end up gaining back more weight than they had lost. So all the pain and suffering we endure while dieting, ultimately leads to the one thing we’re trying to avoid. WTF!

A non-diet based approach to health has been studied and shown to be effective in improving eating behaviors, weight, and psychological related factors among women struggling with body weight and image, and Intuitive Eating has consistently been linked to positive physical and mental health outcomes. My goal is to help you get off the diet roller coaster, and foster love and compassion for your body with guidance through the principles of Intuitive Eating.

I whole-heartedly believe it is essential to find and experience joy with food and eating. I believe that is possible to experience health and allow space for all foods. I know how common it is to experience shame and guilt around food choices, making relationships with food extremely difficult to navigate. In my practice, all foods fit, shame and guilt do not. Health is not measured by our outward appearance, but is more subjective and can be related to how we feel inside our body. We can achieve this level of health when we are able to discover what balance feels like for us, when we can find joy in food and movement and maintain an authentic and loving relationship with ourself. As an evidenced-based clinical nutritionist, I believe that food has healing properties, but food is just ONE piece of our whole health picture.

My practice is rooted in non-diet and weight inclusive principles and I approach nutrition through a functional medicine lens. I specialize in helping people who are struggling with yo/yo dieting, disordered eating or eating disorder recovery, body image issues, digestion complaints, fatigue, depression and anxiety, or overall discomfort.

My goal is to meet clients where they are. No overwhelming protocols, detoxes or meal plans here. I work one on one with clients to create goals that are best suited for their personal lifestyle and geared towards helping them build the foundations and confidence to love, trust and know how to best support their body. I may use several different tools or modalities, like therapeutic food or supplement recommendations, discovering gentle movement, stress coping techniques, lab assessment, and Intuitive Eating principles.
