“I love seeing the people I serve transform their health and lives with the power of nutrient-rich foods”

Let’s face it, the hormonal fluctuation we go through can wreak havoc on our normal, happy lives, feeling betrayed by our bodies.

Trust me…I can relate.

Here’s my story…
I became pregnant with twins in my early thirties. As joyful and grateful my husband and I were to start a family, I did not expect my health to drastically change. The pregnancy had really put a strain on my body, developing pregnancy-induced hypothyroidism. My daughters were born premature, and we were trying to move into our new home at the same time. This ensuing stress, along with lack of sleep, led my hormones to spiral out of control.

After my thyroid was treated, it took a couple of years to realize that something was still very wrong. I was sleeping through the night again, yet, had no energy to be the mom I wanted to be with twin toddlers. I was in my mid thirties but felt twenty years older: feeling ill, fatigued, and just out of sorts suffering from depression and anxiety. I visited many doctors with no answers. One even said my fatigue was in my head. Finally, after my hormones were tested, a functional medicine specialist told me I was in premature perimenopause and my adrenals needed support.

As shocking as the news was for me, I was relieved to have answers and a direction to get me in the right path to healing my body. After diet and lifestyle changes, I was able to reverse these symptoms, reverse premature perimenopause, stop the negative health outcomes, and be the mom and wife I was meant to be for my family.

Today, I’m at the appropriate age for the menopause transition—and yes, I still experience symptoms from time to time. But thanks to the way I care for my body through diet and lifestyle, I’m able to manage them smoothly and stay in balance.

With 23 years of experience as a registered dietitian and a specialty in integrative and functional nutrition therapy, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful food can be in relieving—and even preventing—many symptoms tied to the natural hormone decline of aging.

You don’t have to fear or dread menopause. With the right dietary strategies and lifestyle shifts, this phase of life can be not only manageable but truly empowering. Whether you're in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause, the small steps you take now can make a big difference. I love watching the women I serve transform their health and reclaim their energy through nutrient-rich foods and a personalized, practical approach.

The why behind it all

I believe in chasing your biggest dreams and designing your life the way you want it. I love helping others realize this is possible for them. It’s never too late to work on your health goals to improve quality of life.

I also believe that a successful nutrition outcome takes more than just one or two visits with a dietitian. It’s important to develop a relationship, working together as a team from start to finish.

  • A “registered dietitian nutritionist” is a federal and state regulated healthcare position." A “registered nurse" is a good example to compare.

    To gain the title of “registered dietitian nutritionist” (RD or RDN) you have to complete a minimum of a master's degree in nutrition and dietetics training and go through more than a thousand hours of clinical practice training prior to graduation. You then have to pass a national board examination. A similar license to the RD/RDN is a “certified nutrition specialist” (CNS), which is also a government regulated title with required degrees, training, and licensing.

    However, the term "nutritionist" alone does not have any regulation and the individual doesn't have to go through any of the steps mentioned above. Theoretically, anyone can call themselves a nutritionist since the only regulated titles are RD/RDN and CNS.
