I became a dietitian because I love nutrition and think it has the amazing ability to help people feel their best. Since completing my training I have become a patient myself, diagnosed with several disabilities. I have found that the healthcare system is not understanding or inclusive of my struggles. Weight loss is pushed so hard even when it won't fix your symptoms/conditions. You often are left feeling unheard and without a resolution to your concerns. Moreover focusing on weight loss can lead to poor self esteem and disordered eating which can leave you with more problems. 
 
I want to help people like myself find a relationship with food that nourishes and heals their bodies but also is kind and supports mental wellbeing. You shouldn't feel guilty about eating. Changing your diet is hard and food is so much more than just fuel for our bodies; it's emotional, social, and cultural. My goal is to help you find wellness and symptom management through food but in a way that is kind and compassionate to yourself. I focus on quality of life and health rather than reaching a specific goal weight.
