I went on my first diet at the tender age of six.

It wasn't my idea and it didn't work. It took me years to learn that no diet was going to fix things. I had to get to the root of my issues and reclaim my friendship with food.

How I can help

I welcome clients with all types of concerns. Here are the areas I focus on. You may see yourself in more than one.

Gut health

Bloating, reflux, IBS, SIBO, and the stomach troubles that can come with a GLP‑1. When your gut is unhappy, it's hard to think about anything else, so that's often where we start.

Women's health

PCOS, fertility and pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause, endometriosis. Food can do a lot to support your hormones through every stage of life.

Blood sugar & heart health

Diabetes, insulin resistance, cholesterol, blood pressure, and thyroid. I'd like to see how much we can improve your numbers with food first.

GLP‑1 support

If you're taking a GLP‑1 medication, I can help you manage side effects, get enough protein and nutrients when you're not very hungry, and plan for coming off it. I'm always happy to work alongside your prescriber.

I believe food is medicine.

My practice is rooted in treating the whole person. Food is fundamental to great health, and there are other things that may need attention too. We'll look at your lifestyle, sleep, exercise, relationships, work, underlying health conditions, and anything else you think is important.

But don't get me wrong! What's on the end of your fork has the power to heal your body. I also use herbs and supplements for specific conditions to help with healing and to replenish the body.
