Welcome! After over a decade of experience in nutrition education, programming, and counseling - I’ve created this space to continue to help individuals thrive on their nutrition journeys. I’ve seen firsthand how nutrition education and counseling gives my clients more energy, helps reverse disease, and assists individuals with managing their health conditions in holistic and impactful ways.

Sessions are always collaborative, positive, and deeply rewarding - giving you the tools to create lifelong habits you can sustain and enjoy. We’ll use the most current nutrition research to help support your health and in a way that speaks to your unique needs, lifestyle, and preferences. It’s liberating to eliminate the guesswork and feel more confident in your knowledge of food, your health conditions, and dietary practices.

Food should help us feel our best, while also honoring culture, joy, connection, and community. As a mother myself, I am also especially inspired by the short and long term health benefits that support you and generations to come. In addition to nutrition counseling, I also serve patients with complex medical needs within hospital settings, teach nutrition classes in community spaces, and offer consulting services for various institutions.
