With so many fad diets and conflicting information out there, it’s easy to feel lost.  Let’s work together to create a healing relationship with both your body and food! As a functional and holistic dietitian, I offer evidence-based science grounded in an intuitive eating framework to heal your gut and free you from unsustainable dieting and restriction.

Through functional gut testing, we’ll uncover the root cause(s) of your issues and form a targeted plan to address them. I’m well-versed in treating adults with IBS, SIBO, IBD, diabetes, heart health, and sustainable weight management. With my signature plant-forward approach, we’ll look towards whole-foods before resorting to pills and supplements. I promise to provide you with no-nonsense science without letting trends, outdated thinking, or my own preferences get in the way. 

So what’s my story? I decided to become an RD after a previous career in NYC restaurant management, where I developed a love for great food. I enjoyed connecting with people from all walks of life, but there came a time when serving food without regard for health was something I could no longer stomach. Desperate for change, I went back to school to learn as much as I could about nutrition. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Nutrition at NYU and completed my training at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan.  I became certified in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University and started my own practice. I’ve since worked with esteemed gastroenterologists and completed Monash University’s Low FODMAP training which allows me to provide unique support to those facing GI concerns. Life and love led me out of the city and now I’m based in the mountains of WNC! 

When it comes to better health, the steps we take shouldn’t be quick-fixes, unsustainable routines, or overly restrictive rules shaped by diet culture.  Building habits that are both nourishing and sustainable allows us feel good here and now, but also thrive in the future.
