A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) is a professional who specializes in evaluating a person’s dietary needs and creating individualized nutrition, lifestyle and supplement plans aimed at promoting optimal wellness. NTPs are trained to understand the impact of nutrient-dense foods on the body and to address health concerns by focusing on bio-individuality, which acknowledges each person’s unique nutritional requirements. Nutritional therapy uses nutrition and targeted support of the foundations of health (digestion, blood sugar regulation, stress, nutrient dense diet, and sleep) to balance the body and obtain optimal health and function.

As an NTP, I am taught and trained to emphasize bio-individuality and functional, root cause thinking, with a focus on a holistic and foundational approach to nutrition. However, my focus is much broader than nutrition as I also look at your daily habits, movement, sleep, and mental health. Registered Dieticians (RDs) may follow more conventional guidelines and work in clinical settings, and may be more focused on disease management.

I do not accept insurance, but I do have a payment plan available. By not accepting insurance this allows me to practice how I feel is best suited for each individual person and my recommendations aren’t guided by what insurance will allow me to do. This gives me more freedom to spend more time understanding your needs and gives me a broader range of recommendations to get you back to feeling your best.

I have been in your place and have been beyond frustrated and angered with the advice and recommendations from conventional medicine. Women especially are turned away and told their symptoms are just “normal” and to take some sort of pharmaceutical pill to mask it. Enough is enough and I am so proud to be a member of the holistic health community, where we are spreading the word on the power and importance of root cause healing. Every body wants to heal, we just need to listen and address what it is asking for.

I understand what hopelessness feels like, and I understand what gaining your health back feels like too! I am empowered and excited to help you feel the same. By listening to your every concern, I create an action plan tailored exactly to you, as there is no “one size fits all” approach to health.
