Specialties
I specialize in pediatric and adult care. In pediatrics I am well versed in gastrointestinal disorders, picky eating, cancer nutrition, and diabetes management (type 1 and type 2). In the adult population, I am specialized in nutrition counselling, motivational interviewing, change management, diabetes management (type 1 and type 2), intuitive eating skills, weight loss, weight management, and helping others create a healthier relationship with food.
Interest/Hobbies
My most favorite thing to do is to spend time with my better half, Patrick, and our sweet yellow lab, Mae. We especially love going for long hikes and road trips! In my free time, I love to work out, go for walks, read, go shopping, hang out with friends & family, travel, organize events, or simply just relax at home.
Philosophy
It’s my perspective that food is more than just fuel, it’s your path to feeling alive, satisfied, and truly happy. I truly believe that what we eat has the power to heal our bodies, lift our spirits, and sharpen our minds. Hopefully, with my guidance, we’ll uncover the secrets of nutrition together, making it easy for you to enjoy meals that are not only delicious but also good for you. Let’s go back to the basics, keeping things simple yet satisfying, so you can embrace a future where food is your friend, not your foe. Transforming your eating habits and relationship with food is a journey that unfolds gradually, requiring patience and commitment. I’m here to accompany you every step of the way, supporting you as you strive towards the goals you’ve set for yourself!
