Approach to care
I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a Master's degree in Dietetics and over 12 years of counseling experience. Personally, I’ve completed multiple races including the Honolulu marathon, the Great Aloha Run (where I placed top 10 in my female/age group category), and several Spartan races of varying lengths. I have also personally struggled with digestive issues since high school. They became more of the norm than anything, and it wasn’t until a few years back when I began learning about how to heal the gut with the right nutritionand treat the root cause of elevated stress and cortisol levels, that I was able to heal my gut with nutrition and supplementation. This increased my energy, improved my athletic performance and decreased brain fog, among other physiological benefits. My specialty areas as a dietitian include helping clients manage chronic medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, weight management, sports nutrition, and those who desire to improve gut health and overall well-being. Helping people improve their quality of life gives me incredible joy!
Hobbies
I love spending my free time with my children, whether we're embarking on mini adventures or simply relaxing at home. We are also deeply involved in our church, which feels like a second family, and we regularly participate in various activities together. I make it a priority to connect with my friends a few times a month, enjoying wine festivals, dinners, or coffee outings. Fitness is another significant aspect of my life; I schedule "fitness appointments" with myself to ensure dedicated time for my goals. These workouts help me relieve stress and boost my energy, so I never miss a session!
