Approach to care

I am a natural foods chef and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 18 years of culinary experience. I have a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition/Dietetics from the University of New Mexico and Certificate of Training in Adult Weight Management Program by the Commission of Dietetic Registration. My specialty includes working with clients looking to manage their weight and prevent and manage chronic disease such as diabetes. I also love working with clients interested in improving their overall health and culinary skills, as I believe cooking doesn't have to be complicated. It can be efficient, convenient, nutritious, taste delicious and still help us all support our health goals!

Hobbies

I am defiantly an extrovert and love being active with my dogs, friends and family. My favorite hobbies include skiing, golfing, hiking, dancing, and hot yoga. I am passionate about travel, cooking/food, reading, music, and geology. Some fun facts about me, so far I have visited 23 countries and 24 states. As a chef I have cooked privately for some famous patrons including Jackie Chan and Yo-Yo Ma. I have been to Coachella 9 times. Last year I read 49 books, and I used to dance Flamenco semi-professionally. I am a huge animal lover I have 3 rescue dogs that along with my husband are the loves of my life. Some goals I am working on this year include learning French, reading 52 books this year (a book a week), and learning to oil paint.

More About This Dietitian

My goal with clients is to encourage and promote positive, sustainable, and realistic lifestyle and behavior change through self-discovery and education. I believe that the journey to wellness is unique for each individual, and as a result, my counseling approach is customized around you - your health goals, challenges, and wellness aspirations. I do not believe in fad diets, a one-meal-plan-fits-all approach, or starvation calorie plans. Instead you can expect our counseling sessions to be a space to be heard and respected, and a space for brainstorming, learning, goal setting, celebrating achievements, exploring barriers, and finding inspiration.
