learn more about me
but first, thank you for being here!
First, I’m a wife and mama to three boys, two on Earth and one in heaven. My family means everything and each of my kids has taught me powerful, yet unique lessons. I’m also a passionate dietitian who adores my career. I’ve been working as a Registered Dietitian since 2011 on interdisciplinary Family Health Teams. Then I started a “side hustle” virtual private practice in 2020 about two months before COVID and finally, in 2023, decided to turn my side hustle into my main gig! And now looking back, I couldn’t be happier with this decision.
I love supporting others in their journey to a healthier lifestyle. I strongly believe that a healthy diet should not be restrictive or boring. Restriction is out and nourishment is in! I show my clients how to nourish their bodies and souls in a way that feels good, optimizes their health, and is realistic to maintain.
My ultimate goal is to empower every client to embrace balance.
While diets may provide short-term solutions, prioritizing your physical and emotional well-being through a balanced diet is a lifelong investment in your health.
At the end of the day, a balanced life is a happy life. And as a dietitian and habit change coach, I’m here to help you achieve just that. So if you’re ready to start your journey to a healthier, more balanced you – let’s get started!
