Here's my official Bio. If you want to read my about my personal journey (including my challenges and successes) click here.
My whole life I have craved a healthy relationship with food and my body. A couple of years ago I started making changes to my diet and focused on eating mostly whole foods. I wanted to be able to eat foods I enjoy without going hungry or gaining weight.
In my process of self-exploration, I became the "go-to" person for friends and family wanting nutritional advice. I realized that I had a passion for helping others find a way of eating and a lifestyle that works for them.
My formal training is in Eastern/Western nutrition and holistic health from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City, and I am certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. I currently have a practice based in Carrboro, NC, but work with clients in Boston, Chicago, and Pittsburgh.
I received a BA from Washington University in St. Louis. My background is in training and development, non-profit management, and marketing.

Spring Cleansing 101:
Your Solution to Slimming Down
& Feeling Great
Do you often gain weight in the winter or crave heavier foods? If so, that is completely natural. Winter is a building season and we are actually meant to eat more protein and fat during the winter. I know that I usually gain a little weight during the colder months and by spring I'm ready to make a change in my body.
Spring is naturally a cleansing and fat-burning season. If we eat what the spring harvest naturally provides, we will naturally eat a lower fat and lower calorie diet. This allows our body to get rid of excess weight we might have put on in the winter. Toxins from the environment and the food we consume are stored in fat, so when we release fat we are also able to release toxins.
Now, what do I mean by a "spring cleanse"? A cleanse is a short period of time when we intentionally alter our diet in order to allow the organs responsible to cleansing (liver, kidney, gallbladder) to do their job. By giving these organs a "break," they are able to flush out more toxins.
What are the benefits of cleansing? Many people find that they lose weight during a cleanse and feel more energetic. Cleansing can clear up headaches, acne, and allergies. I have also found it to be a great way to transition my diet from heavier foods, to lighter more cleansing foods. Cleansing has also helped me break free of eating habits that aren't supporting me - like eating too much sugar, caffeine, or processed foods.
