My journey in nutrition and movement started at a young age. I have always had an affinity for food. I grew up an athlete and started to play competitive volleyball at the age of eight. I never fully understood the power of nutrition until after I my sports career ended though. After recovering from an eating disorder, relearning the power of nutrition, and rediscovering the joy of movement to fully celebrate all that my body could do for me, I knew it was my mission to give back. That’s a big reason I am as passionate about nutrition with my clients as I am today. I want to be the resource I didn’t know I needed then, but would have greatly benefited from as an active adolescent, growing into an active adult. With 8+ years of experience and background in higher level of care and outpatient eating disorder care and sports nutrition, giving back and teaching my clients how much their bodies’ do for them and how to nourish them is my life’s work and greatest gift!

My Nutrition Philosophy + Framework:

• Weight-inclusive approach: I support health and well-being by removing weight loss as the primary goal or assuming that body size determines health.

• “All foods fit” philosophy: I encourage flexibility and enjoyment with food rather than labeling foods as “good” or “bad.” All foods have a place in a balanced diet.

• Non-diet approach: I focus on building a positive, sustainable relationship with food and body rather than restrictive dieting.

• Individualized care: I meet clients where they are and considers their unique needs, preferences, culture, experiences, and goals.
