My philosophy in a nutshell:
Deciding what to eat shouldn't be complicated. In a world where food and wellness are the new religion, I’m here to help you let go of the dogma and (re)learn to trust your body and to nourish your health without guilt, fear and shame.
I work with clients with the goal of helping them lead a life where they are thriving. And that doesn't mean obsessing about each bite. Food is about nourishment, community, blessings, and sharing. It’s not about angst, punishment, guilt, or stress.
I am passionate about working with my clients to help them get healthy, balanced and nourished. To help them make choices about their health with ease and grace. To build sustainable routines that can carry them through all of life’s seasons.
My work has been featured in numerous media outlets such as Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, HuffPost, and more. I have led numerous workshops, seminars, and classes in collaboration with physicians, other healthcare providers and businesses, and health systems including the University of Virginia.
I currently reside in beautiful Charlottesville, Virginia, and am at my happiest when I spend my days with family and friends, enjoying nature, flowers, good company, and a hot cup of tea... bliss!

**PSA: CNS practitioners must obtain a graduate degree, 1000 or more hours of supervised clinical experience, and pass a rigorous board exam. Unfortunately, the term “nutritionist” is not regulated in many states (you can have zero nutrition education in some places and legally call yourself a nutritionist). All this is to say: make sure you check your practitioner’s credentials!
