Nutritional Counseling FAQs

  • I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition. Everyone is unique, with their own goals and needs.
  • My methods focus on reducing inflammation in your body to help you feel better. While looking better might be a bonus, the primary goal is your overall well-being.
  • While I believe that maintaining a healthy weight is important, proper nutrition doesn’t always mean losing weight. You can be healthy at various body sizes, and we’ll focus on what truly benefits your overall well-being.
  • I respect your dietary preferences and culture. While I encourage whole foods, I won’t force you to adopt a diet that doesn’t align with your lifestyle. You don’t need to become vegan or vegetarian unless that’s something you want.
  • You don’t have to be a master chef or spend hours in the kitchen. I’ll show you how preparing healthy meals can be quick, easy, and even enjoyable in your own home.

I hold master’s degrees in Clinical Nutrition and Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, as well as a Doctorate in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine.

I offer a comprehensive range of services, including personalized nutrition counseling for a wide range of conditions and concerns, guidance on building a healthy relationship with food, customized meal planning, and access to lab testing and supplements tailored to your needs.
