About Me

I'm a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist with a passion for helping clients with nagging digestive issues figure out the root cause of their symptoms and regain control of their lives using a personalized approach.

 

I have over two decades of experience in the field of mind-body medicine addressing imbalances from the inside out and the outside in - quite literally! In addition to practicing as a clinical nutritionist since 2014, I was a neuromuscular massage therapist for 18 years. I have seen first hand how interconnected we are physically, mentally and emotionally!

 

I have an M.S. in Nutrition & Integrative Health from Maryland University of Integrative Health and a B.A. in Communication from George Mason University.

 

I am licensed by the Maryland Board of Dietetics, certified by the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists, and a Professional Member of the American Nutrition Association.

My Story

I live in northern Virginia with my husband, Keith, and our two boys. Keith has a graduate degree in nutrition, as well! We are both beach lovers, Disney adults, Peloton junkies, yogis, live music fans and love to geek out on the research on how to increase our health span and live to 100! 🙂

 

I was brought into this profession with my own health challenges - persistent gut health issues that started when I got my first job after college. I looked everywhere for answers on how to resolve my chronic constipation and bloating. It was not until I changed careers that my motility normalized and I realized the impact that on-going stress can have on the body.

 

Overtime, I noticed my symptoms flared during more challenging times - pregnancy, new motherhood, owning a brick and mortar clinic during the pandemic! This set me on a path to not only uncover underlying causes to my digestive woes, but I feel head over heels with the power of the gut-brain connection. Fast forward to today, I am grateful that I get to share everything I have learned over the years personally and professionally with you!
