Nutrition Counseling

nutrition_counseling_vertical

Are you looking to boost your vitality, make empowered food choices, explore plant based diet? Have you lost your sense of dietary balance, and are you looking to rebuild a harmonious relationship with food?

I’ve spent the last six years working with clients of all ages and circumstances. While I have special knowledge of plant-based diets, I’m happy to work with many different types of eating patterns. My goal is simply to help you make wholesome food choices that will work for your body.

What I Do

  • Nutrition counseling that emphasizes balanced eating habits and body positivity.
  • Support for men and women who have complex relationships with food or histories of disordered eating.
  • Sound, evidence-based feedback and information for those who are new to plant-based eating and have questions about how it works.
  • Experience with gut health, digestive disorders, and food sensitivities.
  • Adaptable, individualized weekly meal plans and recipe ideas.

How I Work

  • I offer counseling over the phone, via Skype, via gchat/Facetime, or by email.
  • I offer a number of packages to fit every budget and set of goals. Before we get started, we’ll decide together which package is the best fit for you.
  • I offer additional, supplementary materials as needed, including grocery checklists, emotional eating worksheets, and food/mood journals.

My Experience & Training

  • C.C.N. (certificate in clinical nutrition) from NHI College, Encinitas, CA
  • Post-baccalaureate, pre-medical degree from Georgetown University
  • Two years’ experience as the in-house nutritionist for integrative gastroenterologist Dr. Robynne Chutkan, M.D., FASGE. I worked with patients suffering from a variety of digestive disorders, including IBD, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, and food sensitivities.

  • My blueberry banana walnut oat bake has been a lifesaver for weekday breakfasts lately! Still using frozen berries for it, but it won’t be too long now before I can use fresh strawberries 😍🍓Here’s a slice with extra frozen berries and banana slices. Look forward to baking a fresh batch tomorrow. Happy Sunday, folks 🙏🏻

  • I hesitated to make the whole batch of the chili mac from Power Plates this week, but turns out having a ton of leftovers isn’t bad at all 😜 Here they are over greens with a little 🥑+🌶 Happy Saturday to me (and to you!) ☺️ #powerplates #macncheese #vegan #veganfood #veganeats #whatveganseat #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #veganfood #veganmeals #veganlife #veganism #vegetarian #meatfree #plantpower #plantpowered #poweredbyplants #plantbaseddiet #plantbased #wfpb #nomnom #eeeeeats #eatwell #buzzfeast #bestofvegan #healthyish #instafood #iamwellandgood
  • This lunch #bowl was earthy and grounding and ever so slightly spring-y at once 💚🌱 Roasted Japanese sweet potato, adzuki beans, snap peas, a bed of greens and red cabbage, maple mustard dressing from #powerplates. Anyone else thrilled it’s #Friday? May you ease into a sweet weekend💫 #friyay #veganbowl #vegan #veganfood #veganeats #veganmeal #veganism #veganlife #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #vegetarian #glutenfree #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #veganfoodshare #plantpower #plantpowered #lunch #f52grams #iamwellandgood #healthyish #eatwell #nourish #nom #eeeeeats
  • Soup and bread is my idea of a perfect meal at pretty much any time, but especially on drizzly April Thursdays ❤️ This is a random, soul-soothing mix of red lentils, sweet potato, shiitake mushrooms and kale that I whipped up last week when I was sick. Verdict on leftovers? A+. And a little avocado toast never hurt anyone 😉🥑 #soup #soupandbread #toast #comfortfood #simplefood #nourish #selfcare #nourishyourbody #veganwhatveganseat #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #veganfood #veganmeals #veganlife #lunch #plantbased #plantpower #plantbaseddiet #plantpowered #wfpb #eatwell #iamwellandgood #healthyish #f52grams #nom #instayum #instafood #lunchbreak #eeeeeats
