My interest in nutrition began while providing health trainings to a rural Peruvian village during our Peace Corp years (ask me about it at your own risk- I love to talk about it!). I completed the first year of my Masters in Acupuncture on our return, but my priorities shifted toward supporting a nonprofit continuing our work in Peru, and starting a family.  Now that our kids are getting older I can refocus on nutrition.

 

I completed my nutritional consultation certification from Trinity School of Natural Health in August of 2025. Although it is not yet a Masters degree in Nutrition nor a professional licensure, I am planning to continue my education and earn further certifications, degrees, and licensure in the future. Stay tuned!

 

My expertise also includes my own health journey. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a collagen disorder which can cause frequent joint issues, and chronic pain. I have personally done an intense elimination diet, following GAPS protocol, in order to identify several food intolerances and their affects on my body. In the process, I nearly eliminated my chronic pain, and completely eliminated my migraines which had been disabling me twice a week. I know the struggle of pinpointing what is wrong, and then the overwhelm of how to eliminate foods that seem to be impossible to avoid. I look forward to supporting your journey to an improved diet and health, so that it feels as gentle and natural as possible.
