My Philosophy

I believe that we take the wrong approach when it comes to health. We come from a place of deprivation, dieting and self-shaming instead of from a place love.

Love for food, love for your body, love for fitness, love for life.

I believe that our bodies know best when it comes to healing itself, all it asks for is the right tools for the job. That’s where I come in. I’ll provide you with the right tips and tools that will educate, enrich and empower you for a lifetime of vibrant living.

We will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you and we will help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals.

While most dietitians dwell on calories, carb counts, fats, proteins, restrictions and stringent lists of good or bad foods, we work with our clients in a fun, flexible, way that is free of denial and discipline.

We understand that changing habits by feeling punished is no way to create the lasting change that will lead to a happy, healthy life.

There is no “one size fits all” approach.

That’s why we focus on you as a whole person, one who juggles conflicting demands from work, home, family, friends – in a word, life.

We will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you and we will help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals.

I once was one of those people who lived life without ever thinking of just how it was that my body functioned or of the ways that my nutrition and habits affected my health.

I lived my days believing I was “healthy” – even though I didn’t eat well (baked potatoes chips aren’t exactly healthy) and never exercised (the occasional dance class aside).

This all changed about 16 years ago during an impromptu conversation about diet and exercise in which I felt completely unable to contribute to the dialogue.

I was embarrassed that I had no idea what my muscles are called or how the body moves and functions.

It was then, at that moment, that I realized that was not the way I wanted to live my life. Suddenly, something inside me knew that the very direction of my life (and my health) was about to change!
