I have a bachelor of science degree in dietetics. I am a registered dietitian nutritionist and licensed dietitian, as well as a certified integrative mental health practitioner who specializes in wellness culture development, lifestyle well-being integration, and nutrition therapy using lifestyle as medicine solutions that help my clients leave diet culture behind and find success using mindful and intuitive strategies to management weight and maintain health. I am also the author of a mindful eating and exercise journaling book entitled "The Mindful Me Journey: A 40-Day Guided Journal Toward a Healthier Relationship with Food and Exercise," an Amazon #1 new release now reaching international distribution. I use this tool to help many clients end chronic dieting and disorder by understanding the four facets of eating and activity and how to use that knowledge to bridge the gap between diet culture and intuitive eating.
I am humbled to have my work noticed by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP), which selected me as Top Nutritionist of the Year 2025. As I have worked to help people live healthier lives, I have also been fortunate to receive recognition as one of the EliteX Transformational Women in Healthcare 2024 as a leader in Paving the Path to Lasting Health Transformation. In 2023, I received a Health 2.0 Conference Visionaries Award.
I was an accomplished and acclaimed athlete in high school and college. For my three-sport high school success, which included four appearances at the OHSAA State Track and Field Meet and a high jump record held for over four decades, I was inducted into the Greenville High School Athletic Hall of Fame. The icing on the cake was being recognized for success at the collegiate level and inducted into the Mount St. Joseph University Athletic Hall of Fame for volleyball.
My husband Scott and I have been married for 35 years and have two grown and married children who live nearby. We love spending time with our granddaughter, family, and friends and working on home improvement projects. I have recently joined the pickleball craze and enjoy the low-impact activity and social fun.
I am passionate about helping people live healthy, purposeful lives. I look forward to connecting with new clients and helping them reach their weight and health goals.
