As a passionate Registered Dietitian with over 13 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals transform their health goals into reality. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition Science from the University of Minnesota and a hands-on dietetic internship at the prestigious University of Minnesota Medical Center, I’ve honed my skills in various settings—from long-term care, to medical and surgical weight management, and nutrition education and counseling.
What truly lights me up is being part of my clients’ journeys. I believe that reaching a health goal is not just about information; it’s about ongoing support and motivation. That’s why I see myself as a crucial member of your support team, helping you take simple yet impactful steps toward lasting change.
My own health journey took an unexpected turn when I suffered a severe concussion that led to post-concussion syndrome. This experience opened my eyes to the profound impact of nutrition on healing and wellness—even for someone trained in the field. It taught me that food is not just fuel; it’s a powerful ally in health restoration. This insight fuels my functional medicine approach to nutrition counseling. I possess a comprehensive background in nutritional supplements, which I’m happy to share with clients who are curious.
I have many nutrition interests that I specialize in including nutritional considerations for weight loss surgery and weight loss medication, general weight loss, blood glucose management and diabetes, cholesterol and heart health, nutrition and hormone support (fertility, postpartum, perimenopause, post menopause, and others), GERD, gastrointestinal health, brain health, nutrition for mental health, thyroid health, healing after surgery or injury, healthy aging, and more.
When I’m not immersed in the world of nutrition, you can find me enjoying quality time with my husband of over 20 years, our two spirited kids, and our lovable dog. I cherish outdoor adventures and love exploring new places, and I’m an avid reader and jigsaw puzzle enthusiast.
I can’t wait to collaborate with you on your journey to achieving your health goals. Together, we can navigate the path to a healthier, happier you!
