What led me on this path?

During my tenure as a registered nurse, I cared for many patients that questioned their medication and dietary choices. Most of these patients expressed how they felt about being "over medicated" and "wished they knew what to eat to help them" with their medical condition. 

In addition, the patients did not understand the connection between their medical conditions such as Type II diabetes and food. I felt the need to bridge the gap and educate others about the importance of nutrition and the effects of nutrition on chronic health conditions. Overall, good nutrition consisting of a healthy diet is key to good health and well-being. 

What is my approach to nutrition and health?

Although my approach with each client varies, there are some general principles I value in my practice as a certified nutrition consultant that will help you decide if we are a good fit:

• Personalized solution that works for you because everyone is different! What works for one person may not work for the next person.

• Personal approach which includes compassionate guidance and careful listening so that I can meet you where you are and together, we can create a plan for healthy nutritional choices.

• Evidenced-based approach to nutrition, which involves nutrition evidence together with clinical experience while valuing the importance of finding balance of your mind, body and soul which ultimately lead to optimal health and well-being.

• My food philosophy is “You are what you eat!” We must be careful about what type of foods we put into our body. We want to eat “good” foods like more plant-based meals and meals with unsaturated fats which help reduce the risk of heart disease and lower cholesterol levels among other health benefits as well.
