My love of food always existed, eagerly embracing the rituals, smells, and tastes of delicious fare. My love of nutrition, however, did not develop until my late teens and early 20s when I was a collegiate diver. I began having gastrointestinal issues that seemed unsolveable to the medical professionals that I visited. As most do when they feel unheard and unhelped, I turned to my own research and so began my passion for nourishing, not just feeding, the body. If you have read my mindset page, you will know that I went through some difficult situations during those years, and even though I wished I didn’t have to deal with any of it, it molded me into the practitioner I am today.  Being a student athlete dealing with GI, mental, and emotional struggles, I learned that the athlete needs to be treated as a whole person, not as machine programmed for continued achievement with no with no regard to all other aspects of their lives.  The focus of my practice is health while performing to your potential.  Every athlete from beginner to professional has a journey and a potential, let’s push the limits the right way!
