We all struggle with our food and diet – knowing what to eat, getting good food in our bodies, avoiding those after-work binges and late-night snacking. We’re all battling our cravings and trying not to repeat the on-going cycles of dieting and weight gain. You might even feel like you don’t know how to eat anymore.
If you are feeling stuck with food, know that change is possible. With personalized nutrition coaching, I help women in midlife end the struggle with food and diet, gain control of their health, and reclaim their lives.
My Approach
A nourishing diet is important at every stage of life – but it’s especially critical as we get older. As we age, how and what we eat can profoundly affect our health.
My approach is all about understanding and incorporating powerful ingredients that support our health and have them taste delicious. Through coaching, mindfulness practices, and culinary lessons, I aim
to support your full-body wellness – including your mental health.
This isn’t about a “diet” or trendy superfoods. It’s about understanding the science behind how our bodies age, then forming consistent plans
to create and implement change that also leaves room for enjoyment.
What you put into your body matters – now more than ever. Even if you know what you should eat, doing so is often easier said than done.
I’ve spent years cultivating an approach that’s rooted in mindful action and a focus on true full-body wellness. As you enter the middle years
of your life, I want to help you find joy and confidence in the kitchen
(and beyond).
Your journey with me will be free from shame or judgment.
We’re in this together.
Meet your health goals with personalized nutrition coaching & support
Energize You
Energize your body
Our bodies are changing. What worked for you in the past might not anymore.
I want to show you how to work with your physiology to elevate your body — not manipulate it.
The body has many complex systems. When you learn to optimize these, you can create amazing resilience.
Energize how you think about nourishing you
The food choices we make daily are driven by cravings, learned behaviors, and unhelpful, overwhelming food rules.
My training in psychology, nutrition, coaching and mindfulness uniquely position me to help strengthen your intuition and mindfulness. Together, we’ll empower your plate.
Energize your kitchen
I want to bring joy back to your kitchen. I’ve spent years studying culinary arts – let me show you!
From meal planning to grocery shopping to food preparation, I have tips and tricks to conveniently change patterns in your life. Choosing healthy can get easier. I even offer
cooking classes!
