As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and professional educator, my mission is to educate and support individuals and communities on the importance of nutrition and culinary medicine through a weight inclusive approach. By bridging the gap between nutritional science and practical, everyday cooking, I promote a holistic approach to improving your health. Through evidence-based guidance, educational programs, Intuitive Eating practices, and relatable culinary experiences we work on incorporating changes to improve your health that can last a lifetime.

I want to show you that you can live stress-free in relation to food which will improve not only improve your physical health but your mental health, too.
