I provide clients with evidence-based nutrition recommendations paired with practical strategies of HOW we  translate this information into meals and snacks without turning your life inside out.

While we may spend some time discussing foods to moderate - for example portion sizes if weight loss is a goal, or saturated fat if cholesterol is a concern. We don’t spend a lot of time here. Focusing on what you 'can't' have often creates a feeling of restriction, deprivation and even a little resistance - not an ideal recipe for long-term change.

​

We will spend the majority of our time learning about the foods to ADD to your plate - mostly whole foods. Why? Consistent evidence suggests that dietary patterns centered around these foods tend to be moderate in calories, higher in fiber, essential vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Moreover, filling at least 75% of your plate with whole food plants can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

What does that look like for you? That's where our exciting food conversation begins. Whether your concerns are health or weight related, or around a specific dietary pattern such as vegan/vegetarian, gluten-free, or dairy-free, we draw out the foods that can help you move forward with your goals, deliciously. 

Together, we'll create small goals around how to get these foods into your shopping cart, and how to prep ingredients and cook simple meals. We will also problem solve difficult to navigate situations to remove past barriers to success. The result is less brain drain around making food choices, and sustainable change that leads to results.

In 2022, my fellow RDN, Elisa England, and I co-founded the Nourish and Thrive Nutrition Center in Warren, NJ. Together we go out into our local community to provide in-person programs along with a culinary demos centered around building participants' confidence in the kitchen to make health supporting foods easy.
