More about me...

I have been a registered dietitian for over 20 years, and I am always fascinated by the body's response to various foods and nutrients. This is an exciting time to be in the field of nutrition because of the connections we're seeing among genomics, biochemistry, and functional components of foods. On this page, you'll find details about my work and educational background.

Why I do this work:

Well, I've been on that road of sickness, depression, fatigue, gut issues, brain fog, and more, so when patients come to me with multiple symptoms having tried everything to find a solution...I understand. Experiencing those health challenges was part of my journey, and I embrace it because it gives me an idea of what you're going through. 

I love helping people feel better! Many times, the symptoms we experience are our body's protective mechanisms. If we support the underlying problems, the body is pretty good at fixing itself. Let's get to work so you can feel well enough to utilize your God-given gifts and talents to make this world a better place!
