Ancient Wisdom Treats Modern Diseases
If you’ve ever found yourself asking:
You’re not alone. These are among the most common—and most important—questions I hear in my practice. Here’s the honest truth: the answers change over time.
Your body evolves with age, stress, illness, recovery, hormones, and even the seasons. What supported your health last year—or last month—may not be what your body needs now. My role is to understand you in your current state and help you restore physiological balance through nutrition that fits where you are today. Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is a nutrition-based treatment for many temporary and long-term health conditions.
I offer clear, practical guidance on what and how to eat to support healing. I do not create rigid daily meal plans.
If you’re looking for:
I’m likely not the right practitioner for you—and that’s okay.

Some people thrive as vegetarians. Others need animal protein. Many do well with a Mediterranean-style approach. Life stages matter too—pregnancy, breastfeeding, and recovery all require different nutritional support.
You’ll leave with clear, individualized recommendations, which may include:
Follow-up frequency varies based on your needs—from every other week to every couple of months. If acupuncture is part of your care, we typically begin with weekly visits for several weeks. The goal is simple: measurable improvement in how you feel. I want to see noticable improvements in your health quickly.
As a Functional Nutritionist and Doctor of Chinese Medicine, I focus on accurate diagnosis—not guesswork.
I use traditional Chinese Medicine assessment tools such as:
