My Approach and Vision
Years ago, communities and families passed down specific foods and remedies for ailments but as we have become a faster paced society we have lost this inheritance and connection with food. My vision is to empower others bridging the gap between the knowledge of our past connection with food and research of today. As our access to nutrition and health information continues to increase, it's becoming hard to discern what is valuable information and more importantly- what is beneficial information for YOU. I believe we are all biochemically unique and we each have an important story to tell, so I find value in spending a longer amount of time in our first session together creating a treatment plan that is custom to you. I try to make each session one where you feel equipped with new knowledge, insight and a plan.
What to expect:
When you arrive for your session (virtual or in person) you'll experience a relaxed, non-judgmental and reflective environment for you to share your health journey and goals. My approach is guided by the latest evidence based approaches to healing with herbs, supplementation and utilizing food-as-medicine or alongside medicine to enhance our bodies innate ability to heal.
I have advanced training in gastrointestinal imbalances, food sensitivities/allergies, sports nutrition support, probiotic use, and treatments utilizing herbal compounds, pharmaceutical grade supplementation and natural diet approaches. I have a special interest in working with patients with digestive disorders and auto-immune challenges which comes from years of both my personal experience with navigating both. Typically my patients come with some idea of what healthy eating looks like and have already tried several approaches without success. My personal style is typically one of teaching and empowering each person that comes in and meeting people where they are at in their health journey.
