ABOUT ME
Professional Life
With almost 10 years of experience in clinical dietetics, and even more as a fitness instructor, it is clear to me that health is PERSONAL. As an independent dietitian, I specialize in food sensitivities, vitamin/mineral testing and balancing, and comprehensive stool analysis for an in-depth look at the status of your gut health. Individualized food and supplement recommendations are based on your detailed laboratory work.
I also specialize children's nutrition, AND family dynamics around feeding and meal time. From infancy up to elementary school-age children, I will help you restore balance and joy at your family's meals.
​
CHILDREN AND FOOD
Once you understand the 4 questions of eating - HOW, WHAT, WHEN, WHY - applying them to daily life is simple. Especially when it comes to feeding children. Feeding your children should be fun, pleasant for all, and relaxing. Meal time is like running and office...each worker has his/her job to do. If we interfere too much in each other's work, we achieve very little and risk messing up the entire project. Using Ellyn Satter's Division of Responsibility, I teach families how to eat together, eat well, and enjoy family meal time. Learning healthy eating habits that last a lifetime, is the best gift you can give your child.

Food Allergy/Sensitivity Testing
Food sensitivities are a type adverse food reaction, that is often overlooked. It is easy to know when an allergic reaction from food has occurred. The effects are usually severe enough to tell us "don't eat that food again." However, a food sensitivity reaction is not as easy to figure out. Food sensitivity reactions can occur several hours, or even days after a food is ingested, making it difficult to identify the cause. Food sensitivities cause chronic inflammation, which may be the cause of your migraines, IBS, autoimmune reactions, fibromyalgia, etc. Relief from pain and debilitating symptoms, has been experienced by many who have removed their own food triggers from their diet. Together, we can identify your food triggers and create a plan that will help you feel your best, based on your individual test results.
