Background

Hi, I’m Summer, and I believe nutrition is a powerful tool to help you feel your best every day. Whether you’re navigating kidney health, working toward weight loss goals, balancing blood sugar, or looking for ways to improve your gut health, I’m here to provide personalized guidance and support. In our sessions, you can expect practical tools, straightforward strategies, and an empathetic approach that puts you in charge of your wellness journey.

I specialize in renal nutrition, weight management, and gut health—three interconnected areas that play a huge role in overall well-being. If you’re ready to rebuild your relationship with food, navigate dietary changes, or tackle the discomforts of digestion issues, we may be a great fit. I’m here to simplify the science and work with you to develop habits that feel sustainable, enjoyable, and achievable.

With over a decade of experience as a registered dietitian, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people take charge of their health through evidence-based nutrition strategies. My background includes collaborating with medical teams on complex health cases, leading weight loss programs, and offering guidance to improve gut health, helping my clients reclaim comfort and energy in their day-to-day lives. My educational foundation in Dietetics, combined with years of practical, hands-on experience, has shaped the personalized care I deliver.

On a personal note, when I’m not working, I love soaking up the great outdoors. One of my favorite pastimes is road-tripping and camping with my son. There’s nothing like reconnecting with nature, waking with the sunlight, and feeling the peace of life on a natural rhythm. These moments help me find balance and bring fresh energy to my work.

Becoming a dietitian allowed me to turn my lifelong passion for wellness into a career. My private practice is fueled by a desire to offer individualized care and help clients experience the profound impact that thoughtful nutrition choices can have on their lives. Whether your goals involve weight loss, gut health, kidney health, or all of the above, I’d love to help you navigate the path to a healthier, more vibrant you.
