What is Therapeutic Nutrition?
My Specialities
While I am confident that I can help most people who are struggling with their health and are looking for a dietary and lifestyle approach, I have particular experience and training in the following:
- Digestive & Gastrointestinal Health
- Low Energy/Energy that Comes and Goes
- Gut Infections/Dysbiosis/SIBO/Parasitic Infections
- Food Intolerance
- Stress Management
- Fatigue & Low or Irregular Energy
- Blood Sugar Dysregulation
- Immune Dysfunction
- Brain Fog & Memory Problems
- Nutrition Education
- Hormonal Imbalance
- Adrenal Fatigue (HPA Axis Dysregulation)
We begin by collecting your story. Through a series of questionnaires and forms including a food journal, a symptom questionnaire and a health intake form we can start putting together the puzzle for you. After forms are submitted we meet for a 90 minute initial assessment. You will get a clear picture of where your health is at and where we can take it as we work together. Once the initial assessment is complete and recommendations and resources have been made available, we schedule our follow-up visits. This step by step process allows us to layer small changes, to customize and optimize everything to fit your unique needs and to keep you motivated and on target. It sets you up for success!

I use a variety of tools in my comprehensive and investigative approach. Among those tools are ...
Investigative
My goal is to address the symptoms you are experiencing by focusing on the underlying causes. Real healing and lasting change come about when we dig deep to get at the root of your health challenges.
Foundation Focused
While I believe that we are all unique, there are key foundations to human health. Optimal function in the body depends on these core and foundational aspects of health, namely a nutrient rich whole food diet, optimal digestive function, balanced blood sugar, proper hydration, nutrient balance & sufficiency, and proper detoxification. My focus is on building a strong foundation from which abundant and vibrant health can grow now and in the future.
Holistic
In order to bring about lasting change we must see the body as a whole, not just the sum of its parts. We must be able to zoom in when necessary and zoom out to see the big picture. This is why a foundational approach is so effective, it addresses so many different symptoms simultaneously by addressing the roots of good health.
Client-Centered
I work with the whole person, not the disease or symptoms you are coming to me for help with. No one wants to be labeled or branded a certain way because of the health challenges they are facing. You will be seen and heard as the individual you are.
Evidence-Based
Nutrition information and therapies are rooted in evidence based, peer-reviewed research and long standing traditional practices. I steer far and away from corporate interests or the latest Hollywood craze.

I don't follow any preset plans. I use the information gathering tools to determine what steps need to be taken and where we need to focus our attention for the greatest impact. The discovery process allows us to layer changes & customize recommendations to further enhance your health.
Functional lab testing can be a breakthrough point for many clients. It gives us concrete data and provides a window into 'what's going on in there'. It can also be a huge motivating factor and is hard to argue with. It is a key piece of getting to the root of your health concerns.
