My philosophy is one of empowerment. My approach to nutrition and fitness is to design individualized programs. My passion is to facilitate improvement or heal your relationship with food. I provide you with the “how to” knowledge and a supportive environment so you can take the steps necessary to achieve your goals. I have been successfully educating and coaching groups and individuals to meet their nutrition and fitness goals for the past 25+ years.
I hold an M.S. in Nutrition Education from Teachers College, Columbia University in New York and professional fitness certifications from Marymount Manhattan College. I also provided clinical medical nutrition services at Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center. I have provided nutrition counseling at the College of William and Mary Student Health Service and in private practice both in New York and Virginia. Previously I was a Nutrition Therapist at the Renfrew Center of New York and at Columbia University Medical School. I was also a Nutritionist with Cumberland Hospital specializing in eating disorders. Additionally, I was a Nutrition Adjunct Faculty member at South University in Richmond.
