I am a Registered Dietitian specializing in integrative and functional nutrition, with an MS in Nutrition and a BS in Food Technology. I have years of experience as a diabetes educator, and eating disorder specialist.
I followed that with years of experience in palliative care as a Board-Certified Healthcare Chaplain, holding an MA in Theology with advanced training in Clinical Pastoral Education and Grief Studies. The combined experiences of dietitian and chaplain showed me that healthcare is most effective when it does not ignore the spiritual aspect of the patient.
My passion is holistic, whole-person care, focusing on the intersection of nutrition, spirituality, and emotional well-being. I want to help you renew yourself and elevate your practice. My free resources and professional development training equip dietitians and lifestyle medicine providers to integrate spiritual care within their scope—enhancing patient outcomes and professional fulfillment.
