Feeling an urge to eat? Is it really hunger or your appetite or your emotions? Most people can no longer tell the difference. In our society, food has taken on a new relationship with most people – it’s filling emotional instead of nourishment needs. Food is a cheap form of entertainment, a reward, a bribe, and it’s everywhere we go. Clearly if we do not address the underlying issues of why people are using food (emotional eating), I believe lasting weight loss is impossible. Just focusing on diet and activity is not the answer -- the obesity epidemic is evidence of that!
I provide realistic and effective nutrition therapy and consulting services that will help you achieve your goals. My broad knowledge base, ability to analyze the entirety of the patient's profile and keen sense of intuition have enabled me to develop treatment plans that work!
In addition to individual counseling, I provide health communications and project consulting to companies, non-profits and state agencies. With over 20 years of experience in federal and state government, academia, non-profit organizations and the private sector I know how to navigate through systems to achieve wellness.
I believe in treating the whole person in order to make significant changes in one’s health. This includes addressing nutrition, physical activity, stress (emotional and physical), emotions and one’s spiritual state. My vision is that everyone will recognize and fulfill the different hungers they experience and have lives that are rich, meaningful and nourishing.
