Nourished Roots Healing

My road to becoming a Registered Dietitian has been a personal one. I have always been fascinated with the human body and mind and how they work together to influence our quality of life. I originally got into the field of dietetics after going through my own health journey from a very young age during which I experienced intense GI symptoms that impacted various aspects of my health. I have had both the struggle and privilege to gain first hand experience on how deeply the food we eat and our relationship with food can impact our health. Once I started along my personal healing journey, I was determined to know more and gain a deeper understanding of how to heal from a mind, body, spirit approach and to then share this knowledge with others to empower people to take charge of their health and life.

This led me to pursue my degree in Food and Nutrition Sciences with a focus in dietetics and minor in psychology from Ohio University. I was matched with Vanderbilt University Medical Centers to complete my required post-graduate dietetic internship which involved completing over 1,200 hours of supervised practice. From there, I went on to pass my national boards to earn my Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) credentials. In my 6+ years of experience as an RDN, I have had the honor of helping others heal their relationship with food, manage their health conditions, and gain knowledge and confidence in navigating nutrition from a holistic approach. I take pride in approaching nutrition from a Health at Every Size and weight inclusive lens and enjoy building relationships with all my clients.

I have experience and continued education and training in the areas of diabetes and blood-sugar management including gestational diabetes and pre-diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure management, PCOS, mindful and intuitive eating, picky eating and improving relationship with food. I take a collaborative and personalized approach with each client to ensure they receive individualized and intentional care. I look forward to working with you!
