I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and Certified Leap Therapist (CLT) living in Massachusetts. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master’s degrees from Framingham State College. For the past 22 years, I have been working in a variety of settings including hospitals, rehabs, adult day health programs, assisted living facilities, wellness centers and in my own private practice.
As a child, I had the privilege of growing up on a farm in Western Massachusetts. To this day my father is still actively working the farm and producing beef. I was fortunate enough to be able to eat meat, dairy, and produce that was grown and raised right outside my door by both my parents. I believe that this led me to always have an interest and passion for functional nutrition and wellness. Because of this I enrolled in two programs that helped expand my knowledge and training in the functional nutrition field. Once I completed these two programs, I went on to obtain my certification in food sensitivity testing (Certified Leap Therapist).
At the time I completed these programs I had been dealing with my own health issues following the birth of my second child. I used the knowledge that I gained from these trainings to implement changes not only in my diet but in my day-to-day activities. Within a matter of months, I started to notice a difference in how I felt. I was so excited that I wanted every client I met with to know the options available to them and how they can approach dealing with medical conditions not only from a Western medicine point of view but also from a functional wellness point of view.
In my spare time, I’m a busy mom to two beautiful children. We enjoy taking walks, playing with our cats, or enjoying downtime with a movie. I also enjoy staying physically active whether it be by walking, lifting weights or doing yoga. Since having my third back surgery I have committed myself to remaining as active as possible and I always encourage others to do the same!
