With over 20 years of combined experience as a passionate registered dietitian and a certified athletic trainer, I take a holistic approach to nutrition, health, and wellness. By exploring the root causes of your health concerns, I can help you create a personalized nutrition plan that can empower you to heal your body and achieve your desired goals. I believe that food is more than just fuel; it is a powerful tool for healing.
My special nutrition interests include generalized weight loss, managing high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure, addressing pre-diabetes and diabetes, supporting thyroid health, assisting with sleep issues, balancing hormones during perimenopause and menopause, preventing or reversing osteopenia and osteoporosis, enhancing mental health through nutrition, and tackling GI issues such as GERD, IBS, and IBD. I also focus on promoting healthy aging across all lifespans.
As a member of your health care team, I will provide you with empathetic and compassionate support through all aspects of your health journey. In addition, I enjoy providing easy and doable action steps that you can add to your daily routine to help you achieve your health goals.
💊 Supplement Guidance: If you are considering supplements, alongside a balanced nutrition plan, I can help you navigate the often overwhelming number of options. Knowing what to take, and when, can feel confusing. By leveraging my extensive knowledge of supplements, I can provide personalized advice to help you make informed choices on what to take that aligns with your unique health goals.
🔬Optional Comprehensive Lab Testing: If desired, I offer the option to order lab tests, providing valuable insights into your individual health dynamics. This can enhance our sessions and help tailor our approach for optimal results, addressing specific needs and goals effectively, if you choose to do so.
I have personally experienced the power of good nutrition in reducing my anxiety, improving my sleep, and reducing my cravings. I find so much joy in walking alongside my clients as they discover their own path to better physical and mental health.
When I am not working with clients or absorbing the latest in nutrition research, you’ll find me spending time with my two children, ages 15 and 20, or enjoying the outdoors—from biking to skiing to going on long walks with my dog—in the beautiful suburbs of Minneapolis. And as a self-proclaimed foodie, I love exploring the local restaurant scene.
I look forward to being part of your health journey!
