Certified Nutrition Specialist

Welcome! I'm a Certified Nutrition Specialist® credentialed by the American Nutrition Association® through its Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists™. I hold a Master of Science in Nutrition from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, OR, and have gained valuable experience in functional medicine clinics, focusing on metabolic disorders, eating disorders, fertility, chronic pain, and autoimmune conditions.

Originally from Canada, I completed my undergraduate studies at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario while competing as a varsity athlete on the rowing and rugby teams. I earned a Bachelor of Arts honors degree, a Bachelor of Education degree, and hold a certified Ontario teaching license. I've had the privilege of teaching elementary and high school students in Canada, England, Australia, and Sweden. My international experiences sparked a deep passion for health, leading me to realize that I could make a greater impact through nutrition and food-system education. My background in developing and implementing comprehensive lesson plans has sharpened my ability to deliver personalized, patient-centered treatment plans and build strong connections with my clients. Many former clients and students have expressed feeling truly understood and supported by my guidance, a testament to my strength in co-active coaching.

In my personal life, I love playing outdoors and connecting with friends and family. Whether I'm chasing after my Australian shepherd, mountain biking, swimming in cold lakes, sitting in a canoe, or enjoying a good cup of coffee with a captivating story, I find joy in slowing life down.
