Background
In my dietetic practice, I provide personalized nutrition therapy. I work with my clients to make realistic dietary changes that improves their health while fitting into their daily routine.
I have experience as an outpatient diabetes dietitian and have worked with pre/postnatal and elderly populations. I focus on chronic disease prevention and management, pregnancy, menopause, food sensitivities, IBS/celiac, and weight loss.
I am registered with the Commission of Dietetic Registration in the USA and the College of Dietitians of BC in Canada. I have a Master of Science degree in human nutrition and a Bachelor of Science degree in dietetics from the University of British Columbia. Since becoming a dietitian in 2009, I have worked several years in a hospital setting and in private practice. During my university years, I worked as a weight trainer and spinning (indoor cycling) instructor and rowed with the UBC varsity rowing team. I currently live near Seattle, WA and enjoy running, yoga, and cycling.
I am a mother of three boys and an author. I value home-cooking, mindful eating, and body positivity. As a dietitian, I enjoy working with individuals motivated to improve their health and I feel honored to help them work toward their nutrition goals.
