Welcome! I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, certified by the Nutritional Therapy Association to make nutritional recommendations in order to balance body chemistry. I am trained to support and address full body wellness through proper education via nutritional and lifestyle adjustments.
When we eat nourishing foods and are able to properly absorb them, health naturally follows. Given the proper building blocks through nutrient dense food, your body will naturally rebalance itself. It is my sincere passion and great joy to bring education to my clients surrounding their health and wellness. I love to make our journey towards health fun, rewarding and challenging.
What's a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP)? NTPs use a foundational and bio-individual approach to functional, holistic nutrition to balance body chemistry and achieve optimal wellness. NTPs are equipped to support the body's innate ability to heal by addressing the importance of nutrient-dense food, anatomy and physiology, lifestyle choices, culinary wellness, client coaching, and how social and personal components influence health.
How can an NTP help clients? NTPs are trained to use a combination of professional tools to assess the unique needs of each client. One of the most powerful tools used in this process is the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ). The NAQ is a standardized questionnaire that enables the practitioner to analyze a client's symptoms to identify their nutritional needs and prioritize what areas of the body to support. This data empowers practitioners to develop tailored, bio-individual plans that help clients advance on their personalized path to optimal health and wellness.

Conduct an effective interview with clients
