Practice summary, primary services offered:

Functional nutrition coach, taking a holistic approach to health by incorporating food, sleep, stress and fitness with behavioral change to bring about improved health, mood, attention and behavior. Specializing in the challenges of trauma histories.

What first drew you to this profession?

Seeing the impact of food on the attention, behavior and moods of my own children fueled the desire to share this knowledge with others who were struggling with behavior and impacts of trauma histories.

How is your work different from that of others in your profession?

First, it isn’t just about food; we consider all of the factors in your life, and how they impact you and your food choices. Second, it is about sustainable behavioral change, not quick fixes.

What should a patient/client expect from working with you?

In working with me, you will find that it is possible to honor your cultural foods and preferences, while making small changes to increase your overall health and wellness while addressing attention, mood and behavior.

How is your practice evolving in the coming year?

This year will see the return of live workshops and sessions in addition to expanded virtual offerings via Zoom. I will take the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching exam this summer.

What do you most want Natural Awakenings’ readers to know about you and your practice?

Coaching promotes the development of your skills and understanding for sustainable change over time. Mood, behavior, sleep and stress are all impacted by the food you consume. Healing starts with your grocery cart!
