About me
I am a nutrition and dietetics professional with over twelve years of experience in the field. Over the years, my curiosity and passion for innovative methods that break the standard beliefs about diets has continuously evolved. I believe nutrition encapsulates a valuable connection between the mind, body, and disease. I have been fortunate to have had a diversity of experiences working in various fields of nutrition ranging from oncology to physical therapy, to psychotherapy, etc.
I have also personally witnessed the struggles of Insulin resistance myself and have been able to leverage my personal journey to better understand my patients and together find the best treatment in terms of nutrition, physical exercise, and motivational support. I believe my personal hardship has given me a deeper insight into my patient’s needs and has broadened my perspective on the physical, mental, and emotional challenges they face everyday when dealing with health-related concerns.
I have had the pleasure in helping patients change their lives by guiding them every step of the way.
My expertise in the field of nutrition and dietetics has allowed me to help treat patients and clients with health associations such as diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolism disorders, weight loss , weight gain, liver conditions, heart health, kidney disease, bariatric surgery pre/post op, gastrointestinal conditions, pediatrics, cancer , eating disorders, depression , food allergies, and sports nutrition.
My experience working in various health institutions , medical centers and hospitals has propelled me to rapidly expand my skills in therapeutic nutrition, recipe meal planning, patient satisfaction, and communication.
These skills have enabled me to successfully engage with patients in one-on-one sessions while providing them a safe space to heal and express freely as they embark on their journey to health.
Patients and clients often express their gratitude about the positive change in their health, metabolism, eating habits and relationship with food upon implementing the customized meal plan I’ve constructed for them.
My career is an expression of my character and my love for helping people find wealth in health. I work with both my mind and heart, and I humbly believe that that has been the secret to my success.
