About

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 15 years of counseling experience. My passion for nutrition was ignited as a young teenager with my first job being in a hospital food service. I was captivated by the dietitian's intellect and compassion. I later found myself running often, and I fine-tuned fueling before, during and after runs and races to enhance my strength and speed. This, by far, was the game-changer that allowed me to qualify for the Boston Marathon in 2016. I have Bachelor's and Master's degree in nutrition and dietetics, and I am board certified in Integrative and Functional Nutrition. My specialty includes working with clients who have gastrointestinal issues and those looking to improve mood and mental health with food, nutrition and lifestyle modifications.

My coaching style

I am passionate about coaching individuals as they find functional nutrition and lifestyle solutions for optimal health. Functional Nutrition stresses the intake of whole foods with micronutrient diversity to address clinical disturbances and help individuals live a vital life. Together we will establish your wellness vision and primary goals using mindfulness strategies and a growth mindset to support you on your journey.

I believe that if we fuel our body to promote gut health we can positively impact all areas of our mental and physical health and achieve the promise of vitality. I thrive on working with people as they uncover self-efficacy and self-awareness to lead their best life.
