I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 17 years of counseling experience primarily in the area of prenatal, post-partum and pediatric/adolescent nutrition. Teens and “Tweens” take up a substantial part of my personal and professional life. I specialize in working with young people and their parents to set the stage, for a lifetime of healthy eating and wellness. In additional to professional training, I have lots of "on-the-job" training! Personally, I went into Pediatrics specifically when I was having trouble getting my own kiddo to nurse and then his brother, my second born, decided to be picky. SO picky. They are teens and preteens now, which has opened up a whole new world of eating challenges. I have 3 boys (15, 13, 11 yo) and a girl (9 yo). We also often have a foster baby around - keeping my toddler skills fresh. Most of our foster children have had multiple food sensitivities/allergies/aversions and arrive under- or malnourished.
