Certified Registered Dietitian

For the past 8 years, I have worked as a Registered Dietitian in a variety of settings. I was a personal trainer and love to run and do anything outdoors. Eating well gives me the energy to maintain my active lifestyle. Though I initially got into Nutrition to learn how to fuel my body, my focus shifted as my health declined. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, Lyme disease, SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth), and hypothyroidism. However, because of my own battle, I've learned what a huge role nutrition plays in treatment/recovery! I love working with clients who have these conditions because I've learned first-hand what works and understand the frustration of not knowing what to eat. I also have experience working with G.I. disorders, Eating Disorders, Diabetes management and weight management. Let me help take away the fear and bring enjoyment back to eating as you recover your health.

Benefits of Working with a Pediatric Nutritionist vs Going at it Alone 

As a parent, you have enough difficult things to handle as you navigate the challenge of raising a child. It can be challenging to know the right foods and the proper ways to feed your child to grow correctly and develop a healthy relationship with food and their body. A pediatric nutritionist can help you understand what your child needs and give you the boost you need to guide your child to a healthier lifestyle for them. Here are just a few of the many benefits you'll receive from working with one of our pediatric nutritionists.

Cut Through the Noise

An image of an arrow icon
In the world of nutrition and parenting, you have so many voices competing for your attention, trying to convince you that their way is the "right" way to do things. How are you supposed to know how to navigate it all? That's where your nutritionist comes in. They already know all the common problems in childhood nutrition, and they can recognize and guide you through your family's specific situation and needs.

Get Expert Help Through Special Circumstances or Needs

Get Over the New York City Hurdles and Get Back to Health

More children in the US are becoming inactive and overweight, with type 2 diabetes rising among this age group. Let's explore some of these hurdles to eating healthy for children in New York City. 

High Stress and Limited Time

High stress and limited time can make healthy food challenging to access. Often, parents are constantly working, and by the time they're available to eat with their kids, they don't have the time or energy to cook a healthy meal. Instead, they'll often resort to fast food, making cultivating good eating habits difficult. 

Too Many Options

…And not enough of them healthy. We live in a world where there are so many food options, and it's tough – for parents and their kids alike – to know what to choose. Navigating which foods are truly beneficial and what will work for you and your body is not easy.

Full Transparency Pros and Cons

Everything has its pros and cons. Let's review the significant positives and negatives of working with one of our online pediatric nutritionists vs. some of our competitors. 

Top Nutrition Coaching vs. Meeting with a Nutritionist In-Person

Pros:

  • Reach your nutritionist at any time, 24/7 – even at the grocery store or in your kitchen
  • Obtain virtual counseling sessions from the comfort of your home
  • Work with the top 3% of nutritionists in the world; no travel required!

Cons:

  • No health insurance, like you might get with an in-person nutritionist (usually only if it is medical nutrition therapy concerning a medical condition, like diabetes or heart disease)
  • In-person may sometimes feel more personal (but our nutritionists are trained to be personable, despite the virtual setting of sessions)

Top Nutrition Coaching vs. Online Nutrition Resources

Pros:

  • Clear guidance customized to your child and their specific needs
  • Eliminate the stress of navigating various online information and opinions regarding your child's health and nutrition needs
  • Save yourself time by avoiding the need to read hundreds of nutrition resources online

Cons:

  • You get to guide yourself through to the information and decisions you want (though this may prove difficult without any help)
