I am an Integrative Dietitian and practitioner of functional medicine.
I see clients of all ages virtually and in person in Pasadena, California.
I believe that the the springboard for vibrant health begins with your food, and understanding your personal “owner’s manual”. We aren’t taught that we truly responsible for our health, not our doctors, not our providers, us. Taking this responsibility back into your own hands involves a learning curve, learning how your lab results connect to how you feel so you can create your own personal owner’s manual for your health. My goal as your provider is to help you not only get back to well-being, but teach you skills to stay there. I’m excited to show you a new way to embrace your health.
I live to connect people back to vibrant health.
My passion began in neurological & digestive health. In addition to 20 years of experience as a dietitian, I am also a certified GAPS Practitioner. While the GAPS approach is only used in certain circumstances, getting your digestive health functioning well is always a core strategy in my book. My approach is based on a blend of functional medicine, whole food nutrition and brain friendly counseling. Read more..
When I am not seeing clients, you can usually find me cooking, with my nose in an integrative health book, or out adventure hiking in the local Southern California mountains. For all the credibility facts, my training and resume, go here.
Some Fun Facts About Me:
- I have hiked Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim across the Grand Canyon. 48 miles in two days.
- I love anything vintage, especially from 1880-1930.
- I am an intrepid traveler and visited 42 countries before my 30th birthday.
- I nerd out on the human body and how it works. Breathing, articulating joints and how the optic nerve connects vision to the brain drop my jaw.
- A tea party picnic is my idea of a perfectly grand way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
- Oysters are my favorite food, followed by sea salted chocolate.
- I see the sunrise most mornings. Yup, I am one of those lark weirdos.
- I’m happily partnered with another nerd who inspires me and makes me laugh everyday.
- My son is 15 and is my sous chef in the kitchen. He would rather grapple me to the ground in a jujitsu move than hike with me, but we make it work.
- I also wrangle a great dane, a spaniel, and a 2 cats in Beautiful Altadena. It’s one big happy zoo.

“We are visitors on this planet. We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful with our lives. If you contribute to other people’s happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life.”-His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama |
