I started off as a clinical dietitian in a subacute care facility but quickly realized I did not find it rewarding. Soon after, I started as a retail dietitian working for a grocery store chain.

I contribute regularly to 4 national media outlets, give expert quotes to numerous national publications each week, consult on various nutrition and food safety projects, teach at several universities as an adjunct, work as a spokesperson, speaker, and write cookbooks.

We are a team of practitioners who truly focus on an integrative approach to healing.

More specifically, I work with women (from all over the world) struggling with body image and food fears, and who are looking to seriously get off the diet roller coaster and feel healthy and happy in their body and life. I do this through 1:1 coaching and my online course, Ditch the Diet. Get MORE. I also do love coaching, but that’s a whole other area! But the two really go together.
