As we're spending so much time at home, we are depleting our stores of frozen meals. It was time to get back to replenishing some of the freezer stock. It was my turn to make a meal. When I contemplate what to make, I consider what will come in most handy during that...

Making Healthy Choices Feel Like Home
Work with Me:
I am currently offering individual nutrition consulations. In these sessions, I will first gather information on your health history, weight history, eating habits, and health and nutrition goals. From there, we will work collaboratively to help your shift your habits, create systems, and improve your nutrition knowledge in order to reach your goals. This is not a one-size-fits-all program. Rather, our sessions will be individually focused and tailored for your needs. I'd love to work with you. Register here.

My Approach
Eating healthy does not need to involve a complete overhaul of your current eating habits. Rather, with gradual modifications made with your taste preferences, cultural traditions, and lifestyle taken into consideration, you can make changes that will last.
My Process
I will gather your lots on information on your current eating habits, your relationship with food, your healthy history, and your goals. You will learn scientifically-based processes for changing your habits. With professional guidance, you will learn how to make SMART goals. You will then iteratively adapt those goals, integrating the knowledge you obtain.
Not One Size Fits All
I believe that there are many paths to a healthy lifestyle. My goal is to help you unearth the way that works best for you. I do not promote any fad diets, as they are almost always too constrictive. There are many science-based approaches that can work. Let's find one that works for you.

Consider a CSA
A friend recently expressed concern about the lack of stock of quality produce at one of our local stores. I, too, have noted this, as well as limited choices when it comes to fruits and veggies. That same day, my husband alerted me to a story on NPR about farmers who...
The Cultivator
A little over a week ago, we lost my mother-in-law. She had been diagnosed with melanoma last June. Shortly after her diagnosis, we sat on her idyllic patio, the sun bathing us in its warmth, and cried. We cried for a life that would be cut too short. We cried for the...
