I have been a Registered Dietitian for 30-plus years inspired by personal struggles of low self-esteem, disordered eating, and weight cycling with obesity. Since going plant-based about 10 years ago, I have been fascinated by the body’s perfect design to heal itself when given what it needs through nutritious whole plant foods, fun and challenging movement, quality sleep, stress management, and finding purpose.

I hold a master’s in health education, am a Board-Certified Lifestyle Medicine Professional, Life Coach, Wellness Coach, Personal Fitness Trainer, Aerobic and Pilates Instructor with a Certificate in Training for Adult Weight Management. My experience spans many areas of nutrition and health while specializing in weight/fat loss with muscle development, lifestyle management/reversal of chronic disease and diabetes, disordered eating, fitness training, and promoting self-compassion for optimal success. I focus on the whole person and their unique life goals and challenges to ensure all changes fit their priorities!

I help individuals who want to improve their health by eating a more whole food plant-based diet. I also teach you how to prepare quick and easy plant-based meals to help you succeed on this journey.
