Hello! I am so happy you are here. I look forward to working together to help you reach your desired level of wellness. I use a whole body-mind approach through which you can improve your health and well-being with judgement free support. I offer an evidence-based lifestyle therapeutic approach that encompasses all areas of wellness including: a whole food eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, positive social connections, and avoidance of risky behaviors...one step at a time.
I hold a Master's Degree in Clinical Nutrition, am a Certified Lactation Counselor and Certified Community Health Worker.
My extensive experience in community and public health nutrition and wellness has provided me with unique insight into all the challenges that can interfere with our personal goals. I remain committed to providing compassionate, culturally competent nutrition assessment and personalized goal setting to meet the needs of the individual or family.
I am particularly passionate about integrative nutrition, herbs for health and healing, holistic approaches to lifelong health, and food as medicine. I pride myself in being empathetic to your individual challenges, strengths and needs in order to set achievable steps to reach your wellness goals. I care deeply for all individuals I work with.
My expertise is prenatal, postpartum, infant-child (including pediatric feeding disorders), family-based nutrition, and women's health through the life cycle. However, I am competent to work with all individuals and families across the life span.
I am an advocate for:
-improving perinatal wellness and birth outcomes
-equitable access, treatment, and care across the life span
-access to nutritious foods for optimal health and to reduce food insecurity
-providing trauma-informed care.
I am excited to meet you...It's YOUR TIME!
