MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is evidence-based nutrition care delivered by a qualified nutrition professional, a Registered Dietitian (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). The goal of MNT is to prevent, delay or manage nutrition-related health conditions and support your health and wellbeing through nutrition.
Through MNT, we will look at how food and nutrition affect your specific health concerns and develop an individualized approach to support your nutritional needs.

PERSONALIZED NUTRITION COACHING
During coaching sessions, I share evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle information, while guiding and supporting you in making behavioral shifts toward self-care and wellbeing that work for you in your body, mind and life.

We will discuss your medical and diet history, relevant lab work and medications, along with lifestyle factors that may affect your health and wellbeing. From there, we will identify your short- and long-term goals and begin developing an approach that works for you. Worksheets and resources are provided as appropriate.
FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS
Follow-up sessions are highly customized to address your challenges, wins and goals. Using the latest evidence-based practices, together we will find the tools and skills needed to support your personal nutrition and health goals.
MORE ABOUT MY APPROACH
My work brings together nutrition science with a biopsychosocial, non-diet and weight-inclusive approach to food, eating and health. Nutrition is complex, influenced by our biology and physiology as well as our thoughts, behaviors, experiences and the social and cultural role of food. I use evidence-based practices to consider these factors within the context of your individual needs and wellbeing. My work is neurodivergent affirming and trauma informed.
