Meet the Practitioner

I have long held a passion for nutrition and holistic health, inspired in part by my mother, a phenomenal Holistic RN practicing bioenergetic testing, and in part through my own health experiences and challenges as well as my loved ones.  I felt an urgency to learn as much as possible about all things nutrition as I discovered the profound protective impact nutrition and lifestyle changes can have on our health. This lit a fire within me to share this knowledge to help others improve their health with the power of a holistic lifestyle and nutrition approach.

​

I began my professional career as a Special Education teacher with Teach For America in low-income communities. I studied World Religions at The College of William & Mary and obtained a Master of Education from St. Thomas University. These experiences taught me to deeply value each individual's unique strengths, needs, and worldview as they pursue their path toward growth. The best educational system is one that allows each individual to learn and thrive, as one size does not fit all. The same applies to nutrition!

​

I completed my Master of Science in Holistic Nutrition with Hawthorn University and the American College of Healthcare Sciences, where I graduated summa cum laude, and obtained additional certifications in bioenergetics from BioMeridian. Holistic Nutrition is a science and research-based approach to health that acknowledges the integral impact of diet, lifestyle, body, mind, heart, relationships, and environment on our health and well-being. Bioenergetic testing is a fascinating tool to look at health from an energetic perspective. It uses galvanic skin response to assess the energy flow within meridians and various body systems. With bio-energetics, we can identify what resonates with the body to support balanced energy.

​

I am now grateful to combine my three passions - nutrition, education, and bioenergetics - to help you make positive individualized lifestyle and diet changes that ignite your happiness and improve your health.

As a Nutrition Practitioner, I support and empower clients on their path toward wellness in a manner that also honors their biochemical uniqueness, current health, and personal goals. One size does not fit all. Adopting a diet in harmony with our bio-individual needs establishes an environment in the body that supports healing. 

​

Quality, nutrient-dense foods, and a balanced lifestyle nourish happiness, health, and well-being. With small, incremental changes, I help clients achieve their nutrition and wellness goals and support them on their path to better health. The benefits are significant. Dialing in your nutrition and lifestyle gives you more energy and resilience to focus on what matters in life: your goals, your relationships, your values, and your purpose.

​

Emotional release and perception shifts are hidden factors that can powerfully support our health, and I love working with EVOX for this purpose.
