My Philosophy

​Therapeutic nutrition is an investigative approach to health and wellness. It's about uncovering the root causes behind your symptoms, and then using dietary, supplemental and lifestyle change as therapeutic tools for real resolution and healing. My work with clients builds on the principles of functional medicine. ​The symptoms you are experiencing are important clues that tell us more about what's going on inside your body.
I like to illustrate my philosophy with a simple example: Imagine you are on a beautiful hike and start to experience an intense sharp pain in the bottom of your foot because you have been walking this whole time with a rock in your shoe. You have a choice here. You can keep walking with the rock in your shoe and eventually have a more serious issue on your hands, you can take some Ibuprofen to manage the pain, OR you can do the sensible thing and sit down, take off your shoe and remove the source of the pain-the rock! I liken this to the work that we do together. We take out the rock! This investigative, root cause approach sets me apart from other health care practitioners. ​

Connect the Dots

Let's make sense of your symptoms, and unravel the mystery of why you aren't feeling your best. When we don't feel well we can feel confused, frustrated and betrayed by our own bodies. I believe that our bodies are always working in our best interest, even if that means a pounding headache or an upset stomach. The symptoms you are experiencing are clues and perhaps even cries for help. It's our job to translate those signals and dig deep for the real causes lying underneath.

Honor the Individual

There are no set programs or plans to follow when you work with me. It's personalized to you! Many of my clients have been there and done that. They have tried everything, but are still struggling.  That is why they come to me. I offer a personalized and comprehensive approach to wellness. 

Educate & Empower

No one will ever value your health more than you do. I'm here as your advocate, your teacher and your ally. I'm here to encourage you and inspire you. I'm here to dig deep and help you find answers, but ultimately it's up to you to take action. You are the one who chooses to make changes and do the work, You must be the one who cares the most. You are the only one who has the power to rewrite your story and change the way you feel!
