Nutrition is a science, not an opinion.
How it all started
I’ve been passionate about nutrition and wellness for decades. It started when I addressed some of my own health concerns through diet.
In my 20s, I discovered the power of nutrition and it changed my life. I wanted everyone to have that experience, but I tucked the thought in the back of my mind for another time.
I call this Act 3
Fast forward. After a successful career in public relations, followed by just as many years as a stay-at-home mom, it was time to pursue my dream of becoming a nutritionist.
But I knew I wanted something different from the norm.
I completed a 13-month program in Functional Nutrition, gained over 500 hours of practical experience, and passed the Holistic Nutrition Board Exam, becoming Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition by the National Association of Nutrition Professionals.
Functional nutrition is an evidence-based approach that gets to the root of a problem and addresses it in the simplest, most effective way possible. With whole food.
It’s grounded in the belief that individualized interventions are the key to sustainable success.
A fresh perspective
I admit it. When I began my Functional Nutrition training and heard there would be a sports nutrition unit, I thought, “Oh how cute. That’ll be easy.”
I was wrong.
It was complex, fascinating, and exciting. I had found “my thing.” Then I became determined to do it my way.
There’s simply no understating how critical food is to an athlete’s performance. The right fuel, in the right way, at the right time.
But it’s not just about improving training or competition. Nutrition also shapes mood, digestion, cognitive function, sleep, and resilience. These things all matter when it comes to how an athlete shows up on the field, in the classroom, and at home.
That’s where my approach comes in. I teach my clients to eat with intention, not obsession. To be strategic, but realistic. And to build skills that last a lifetime.
Let’s talk about what I can do for your athlete!
