I believe in real food, real ingredients, and a whole-body approach to health.
My passion for food started in the kitchen with my mother growing up, and as I matured, so did my curiosity for nutrition. I wanted to learn about the nutrients in food, how the body uses them, and the relationship between diet, health, and disease. Intuitively, I believed nutrition could help me perform, as well as protect my body.
Before starting my nutrition consulting business, I worked in the wellness field for five years, gaining experience and training with a Naturopathic Doctor in Charleston, SC. I received a B.S. in Public Health from the College of Charleston and a Master’s degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon.
I rounded out my education by becoming a Board-Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), the gold-standard credential for advanced nutrition professionals.
I am incredibly passionate about the science of human nutrition. Driven by the desire to help my clients and my own intellectual curiosity, I study the latest research and evaluate competing theories to make sense of the overwhelming and ever-changing health information now at our fingertips. Most importantly, I use that knowledge to make individualized client recommendations.
I dig deep to identify the sources of inflammation in your body. Then provide you a step-by-step plan to achieve optimal health.
My approach distinguishes me from other nutritionists. Unlike generic meal plans, elimination diets, or cookie-cutter cleanses, my protocols are tailored to your unique needs. I create an individualized plan specifically designed for your body.
My Healing Philosophy
Progress over perfection.
Long-term health success hinges on consistency rather than perfection. My goal is to empower my clients to build resilience.
Education is key.
I emphasize the importance of understanding the rationale behind my recommendations, as knowledge is a powerful motivator. It creates motivation and compliance, and it helps us work together as a team to achieve your health goals.
Each system in the body is connected.
Your body functions as an integrated ecosystem, where issues with the gut, mental health, energy levels, and hormones are interrelated and operate in a complex network.
Sustainable progress requires time.
Healing is a gradual process, and quick fixes often fail to yield lasting health improvements. Instead, we must commit to a long-term approach for genuine well-being.
Data informs progress.
The more information we gather, the better equipped we are to determine the next steps. Bloodwork, functional labs, and comprehensive assessments guide personalized protocols, moving away from one-size-fits-all solutions.
My Approach
I'm driven by a deep desire to help my clients achieve optimal health. And I know how overwhelming and confusing the nutrition world can be. Often, I hear that patients feel dismissed by their doctors and told that nothing is wrong despite their symptoms.

As a Certified Nutrition Specialist with a master's degree in Human Nutrition & Functional Medicine, I focus on a whole-body approach to health, addressing root causes rather than just treating surface-level issues.
