My Approach
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all the areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we will look at how all the parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
My approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, my goal is for you to develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that nourish you most and for you to implement lasting changes that will improve your joy, energy, balance, and health. We will work together to reach your goals, which may include achieving optimal weight, lowering cholesterol, reducing food cravings, increasing sleep, and maximizing energy.
Bio-Individuality™
The concept of bio-individuality is the idea that each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. What works for one does not work for all and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique expectations, lifestyle, and preferences.

Primary Food™
It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat that affects our health, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular moments of movement, and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to finding the fullness of life.

Crowding Out
Many nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, which explains why so many people are turned off by nutrition. My approach is different – by eating and drinking foods that nourish you, you will naturally have less room and desire for unhealthy foods. Simply put, you will “crowd out” the unhealthy food in your diet. This takes a little practice to make happen, but I will support you throughout your journey.
