The dietitian against dieting

For decades, society has emphasized low-fat, low-sugar, and low-calorie foods, promoting an unrealistic standard of thinness and encouraging the pursuit of fad diets. This has led many to develop unhealthy relationships with food. I am very open with my clients and like to say that to some degree, I have been in your shoes, as I have shared personal experience with diet culture, highlighting the social pressure and mental exhaustion it brings. Frustrated from diet to diet? My clients say 'enough is enough' and decide to focus on understanding their body's unique needs, adopting intuitive eating, & ultimately fostering a healthier relationship with food while achieving their personal goals.

Fueling my passion for nutrition, I received a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition through Montclair State University, NJ. After graduating, I then went on to continue my education through a combined masters/dietetic internship (MSDI) through Marywood University, PA and received a Master of Science in Nutrition. During my internship, I completed 1,200 hours of supervised practice through various rotations, focusing on all aspects of medical nutrition therapy, health promotion and wellness. Upon receiving credentialing, I immediately jumped into private practice. 

When I am not assisting individuals in their journey towards healing their relationship with food and achieving their personal health goals, I find great joy taking care of my animals. I love to take my sweet corgis, Rhea & Silas, for refreshing hikes in the beautiful outdoors. When not in the great outdoors, cooking serves as both a hobby and a way to nourish myself and the ones I care about. It is so exciting to experiment with new recipes and to explore diverse flavors!

My most fortunate honor is the fulfillment that my wonderful clients have brought to my life beyond their work and dedication from working with me at Intuitively Nourished, and applying learned tips, tricks and tools into their daily lives.
