Every time we sit down to a meal,
we vote for the kind of life

My approach to nutrition is a moderate and compassionate one, grounded in scientific evidence and with a holistic (mind, body, spirit) perspective.
In my office, success is about showing up - not the size of your jeans or the number on the scale. And good health is about striking a balance without cutting out all of the foods that bring you pleasure. Though I'll dig into the scientific literature to guide our work together, this is a collaborative effort and you're the expert on your body. Cultivating wellness does not have to be all or nothing or "perfect." It's about starting where you are, doing the work and enjoying the process.
