About

I am a natural foods chef and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 18 years of culinary experience. I have a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition/Dietetics from the University of New Mexico and Certificate of Training in Adult Weight Management Program by the Commission of Dietetic Registration. My specialty includes working with clients looking to manage their weight and prevent and manage chronic disease such as diabetes. I also love working with clients interested in improving their overall health and culinary skills, as I believe cooking doesn't have to be complicated. It can be efficient, convenient, nutritious, taste delicious and still help us all support our health goals!

My coaching style

My goal with clients is to encourage and promote positive, sustainable, and realistic lifestyle and behavior change through self-discovery and education. I believe that the journey to wellness is unique for each individual, and as a result, my counseling approach is customized around you - your health goals, challenges, and wellness aspirations. I do not believe in fad diets, a one-meal-plan-fits-all approach, or starvation calorie plans. Instead you can expect our counseling sessions to be a space to be heard and respected, and a space for brainstorming, learning, goal setting, celebrating achievements, exploring barriers, and finding inspiration.

Creating and sharing healthy and delicious meals with your friends and family is one of the greatest joys in life.
