I have committed my entire professional career, spanning 30+ years, to providing nutritional guidance for a multitude of individuals on their quest to disease management, prevention and wellness. As a passionate Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Plant Based Coach, I seek to empower my clients with the knowledge and skills needed to embrace a healthier lifestyle through the power of fresh wholesome foods.
Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege to work with individuals in clinical, wellness, and mental health settings. Many of these individuals were taking an exorbitant amount of medications to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. As a result of simple dietary changes to include wholesome plant foods, many were able to eliminate medications for these conditions. In fact, one individual lost over 100 pounds, which actually disqualified him from weight loss surgery.

My hope is that through engagement, and empowerment, I can assist individuals to incorporate principles of a whole food plant-based lifestyle to restore health and prevent the onset of chronic diet-related conditions.

Beth has experienced her own transformation through plant-based eating. In December, 2017, she had to leave her job of 30 years as a music educator due to her own battles with pain and weight issues. She encountered challenges in carrying out basic activities such as going up stairs or participating in meetings. She could no longer even imagine setting up the stage for my middle school orchestra!
Her journey from pain to relief began in 2018 after watching the movie, “Forks Over Knives”. Having recently completing the research for her EdD dissertation, she gained a greater understanding and admiration for the research and outcomes showcased in this film. It was truly impressive to see the profound influence of dietary changes on people’s lives, which was both evident and inspiring!

Since then, she has gained valuable knowledge and skills. She recently achieved Root-Cause Health Coach certification from Lifestyle Prescriptions University, following previous certifications in Plant-based Coaching from the Food Revolution Network, and Whole Foods Plant-based Nutrition from Cornell University. Through this journey, she has shed 50 pounds and maintained the weight loss, was able to discontinue BP medication after 22 years, and at the age of 68, even jogged the whole way to the end of her first-ever 5K race! She is now enthusiastic about assisting others in their health endeavors, supporting them through each step of the way!

My journey started back in 2017 when my family of five watched the documentaries, What the Health, Forks Over Knives, and Plant Pure Nation. What followed was a complete transition to a plant-based life for all of us. We took this one step at a time, cutting out animal products and then working to eliminate processed junk foods while at the same time increasing our daily consumption of a variety of plants. We were encouraged along the way by the myriad of health benefits we quickly noticed. Feeling so good and watching my family experience these benefits motivated me to dive into learning all I could about the science and research behind plant-based nutrition. From this deep dive and from years of trial and error, I figured out how to make this work for my entire family in our real, day-to-day lives, without giving up social events, going out to eat, traveling, and hosting family and friends.

Whether you’re plant-curious, fully plant-based, or somewhere in-between, I have been there and would love to help you learn how to easily, sustainably, and joyfully thrive while eating more plants!
