What Clients Say About Working With Me?
I began my career as a pediatric dietitian, working with children with rare genetic and metabolic disorders such as PKU, MSUD, and MCAD, as well as children with feeding disorders, oral aversion, and extreme picky eating. This work shaped my foundational belief in holistic nutrition therapy: the body is intelligent, adaptive, and always working to protect us.
When I transitioned into working with adult women seeking weight loss, I quickly recognized a troubling pattern. Traditional weight loss advice—eat less and burn more—was not working for most women. Instead, it often led to binge eating, food cravings, nutrient deficiencies, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, emotional eating, anxiety, low self-esteem, and chronic frustration with their bodies.
Using a holistic nutrition approach, many women initially experienced weight loss they had not seen in years. However, these results rarely lasted. Most eventually returned to old eating patterns, not because of a lack of discipline, but because nutrition alone does not heal emotional eating, binge eating, disordered eating patterns, or poor relationships with food.
I discovered that many women struggling with weight loss are not failing—they are coping. Emotional eating is often hidden behind labels like “sweet tooth,” “food addiction,” or “lack of willpower,” when food is actually being used as a tool for stress relief, emotional regulation, safety, comfort, and connection.
To address the root causes of binge eating, overeating, emotional eating, and weight struggles, I became a certified hypnotherapist and integrated subconscious and emotional healing with clinical nutrition therapy.
This integrated approach creates lasting transformation.
Today, my clients experience sustainable weight loss, reduced food cravings, improved digestion, balanced hormones, and a peaceful relationship with food. Women who once struggled with binge eating learn to trust their hunger cues. Emotional eating decreases. Food guilt disappears. Confidence increases. Energy improves. Eating becomes simple, natural, and regulated instead of chaotic or restrictive.
Weight loss becomes a result—not the focus.
My mission is to help women heal their relationship with food, resolve emotional eating at the root level, restore body trust, and create sustainable weight loss without restriction, dieting, or self-blame—through a holistic, trauma-informed, subconscious-based nutrition therapy approach.
