The practitioner I was looking for — so I became her.

My academic background is in education. I spent years as a corporate trainer and academic advisor working with adults of every kind — which means I know how to meet you where you are, explain things clearly, and adjust my pace. 

When I turned my focus toward holistic nutrition, I returned to an accredited school to complete the training required for board certification. Earning that credential meant meeting the standards set by the National Association of Nutrition Professionals: passing a rigorous board exam and documenting 500 client contact hours. That combination of formal training and real-world practice is what allows me to offer you care that is both grounded in evidence and shaped by lived experience.

I'm also trained in culinary coaching and have taught healthy cooking classes for our regional healthcare system, a residential addiction and recovery rehab center, and two breast cancer survivor organizations. That matters because good nutrition has to work where you actually eat — your kitchen, your favorite restaurant, or somewhere in between. I bring you both the why and the how — recipes, tools, and the small habits that actually stick.

Above all, this work is personal. I show up with compassion, empathy, and respect for your story. We build a plan that fits your life — not the other way around.
