A Personal Note

God led me to nutrition down every path. I was insecure and overwhelmed by my body as a kid and started dieting in second grade after someone called me fat. I had overwhelming fatigue, three diagnoses of mono and “no answer” at 17 that led to a Celiac diagnosis. I struggled with food fear, disordered eating and gut health because of the lack of help with my new diagnosis. I’ve had colitis, IBS, and the pressure of never being thin enough in a diet-obsessed world. I’m an expert, but because of my experiences, I’d also LOVE to be your advocate. 

I maintain a student mentality and have devoted myself to constantly learning, growing, and adapting. I never want you to get an outdated nutrition handout, like I did. I want to hold your hand and give you personalized support. And, refer you to someone else when that is also best.

Since April 2023 I’ve simultaneously become a mother and an orphan. My old workaholic days are over. I only see patients 2x week. I turn my phone off at times. I set strong work boundaries, I work hard and I rest hard. Although I used to appreciate the hustle culture, I now appreciate quality time. And, I know how valuable life is. So, I take full advantage of my good health, and I’d like for you to be able to do the same!
