you deserve to have a joyful relationship with food.
We live in a culture that idealizes thin, even in our medical community, which makes it challenging for people to find supportive, inclusive care. As a result, a hyper-focus on weight loss has overshadowed the power of the body’s innate ability to heal and support you.
When we focus too much on weight loss, restriction ensues. Restriction can lead to the inflammation that is associated with so many of the chronic illnesses that we work on managing and preventing.
I work with my clients to optimize the healing capacity of the body without restriction.
If you are looking for a non-prescriptive, nutrition- centered integrative solutions to help you manage symptoms (headaches, digestive distress, low energy, acne, etc.) and circumstances such as Hypothyroidism, Hashimotos, Diabetes, Pre-diabetes, PCOS, Endometriosis, Celiac Disease, PMS, Cardiovascular Disease, ADHD, PMDD, etc. in an anti-diet, non-restrictive, body neutral approach, I can help you.
When we work together, I use a comprehensive approach where we discuss your past and present medical history, lab results, history of dieting and eating patterns and symptoms to not only understand the root cause of your symptoms but to support you through understanding your body's unique innate needs so that it may flourish. Therefore, you will flourish.
I am more than just a clinician. I understand the depths in the complexity of working to feel your best while navigating very real symptoms that are holding you back. I have been there and as a result, I am your ally and advocate throughout our work together.
From my own personal journey (autoimmune disease + “it’s complicated” relationship with food & my body), I have come to know that when we remove the obstacles that hold us back from truly feeling aligned with our bodies and joy with food, we come alive. We stop focusing on what we are not, and enjoy our bodies for all that they are.
