I believe that eating well is the highest form of self-care. No matter what someone is struggling with, it can be made better with proper nourishment… beginning with feeding the brain, so we can cope with life’s stress! I want my clients to stop fighting with food and with themselves and start seeing food for what it is, a necessary part of life meant to be enjoyed!

I am the creator of The Whole New You elimination diet plan, which provides support and accountability for people who wish to identify which foods are causing symptoms like low energy, brain fog, skin problems, stress and fat storage. I also specialize in Amino Acid Therapy for recovery from substance abuse and addiction and emotional problems. Amino acids also support other conditions such as grief, pain, inattention, stress and hypoglycemia. Lastly, I work with people one-on-one for Weight Management and offer Sports Nutrition consulting for peak performance. See my website for description of all services! www.nutrition4recovery.com.

I hold a Nutrition Consultant Certificate (NC) from Bauman College of Holistic Nutrition and Culinary Arts. I’m currently completing my Certification for Recovery Nutrition Coaching (CRNC) through the Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition. I also have a B.S in Business-Economics from The University of California, Santa Barbara.

I've enjoyed endurance sport competition for over 20 years, including triathlon racing, running and cycling events and open water swimming. I also enjoy snowboarding and yoga.

I love sharing my passion for health and the beautiful life that comes with being properly nourished from real food with anyone who wants to change their life!
