I am a Kirkland & Seattle nutritionist who creates customized meal plans to help people become fit and fabulous from the inside out. My education provided me with the perfect trifecta, a diverse base of knowledge and experience each building on the next: undergraduate degree in psychology, pre-med status trained in motivational interviewing with a focus on eating disorders and a master in nutrition degree from Bastyr University.
My goal is to help my patients turn, ’I know what to do, I just don’t do it,’ into, ’I know what to do and this is easy!’ My philosophy of nutrition is built on simple yet profound concepts:
1)The best meal plan for you is the meal plan that you can follow healthfully for the rest of your life.
2)It’s not just about food. I treat the whole body and focus on improving all lifestyle factors including stress reduction, improved sleep and activity, practicing mindfulness and balanced nutrition. Weight loss is a side effect of leading a healthy life.
3)I will meet you where you are at, focus on what you are comfortable changing and help you improve from there.
4)I will encourage you to set realistic goals and to implement change gradually. When done consistently these gradual changes will become second nature to you.
