Become More Confident In Your Approach to Eating
Feel better in your own skin, have more energy, and manage chronic health issues without totally giving up the foods and activities you love.
We Did it Folks!
We won the Metro’s Philly’s Best contest in the Best Nutritionist category. Thank you so much to all involved. This would not have been possible without my clients, whose trust and confidence I don’t take for granted.
Also, to my support team for administration, marketing, and technology. No one does it alone. And to the still unknown nominator and all the voters who took the time out of their busy day(s) to make this happen.
Let’s Get Your Health Under Control
Food is so much more than just sustenance. There are foods that bring us comfort; foods that connect us to our families; foods that remind us of when we were young. But when food starts to create havoc on your body, it’s time to reexamine the way you think about it.
As a Registered Dietitian (RD), I’m here to help you.
I am big picture RD. I’m here to help you better understand how certain foods can either enhance your performance or sabotage the way your body functions. I’m a strong believer in promoting health and wellness, not merely weight loss.
I specialize in creating customized plans.
I create plans for those living with PCOS, IBS, diabetes, or cardiovascular issues that will enable you to feel better in your own skin, have more energy, and manage your chronic health issues without totally giving up the foods and activities you love.
Food is personal, and eating habits are hard to adjust.
Fortunately, I’m here to guide you through every step along your path to change. We’ll begin with a comprehensive nutrition and lifestyle assessment that will serve as part of a plan for healthful eating, and I’ll provide you with tips and tools that will help you meet your goals. Together, we will get your health under control.
Are You Ready to Get Started?
