Working With Me

I coach with empathy and authenticity – based on specialized training as a registered dietitian, practical experience in helping others, and my own personal health challenges. I provide clients all the support they need to finally achieve permanent weight loss.

My unique solution empowers clients with the knowledge to confidently control their food choices rather than food controlling them.

As your coach, we form a partnership, I treat your health and wellness goals and personal dreams as if they are my own. During each session I will put on my “teacher” hat and lead an education session on “special topics” that are paramount to your success. These sessions are highly customized to your specific needs.
