How to Lose Weight and Keep it Off!

As a young adult, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Once I discovered changing my diet was the only therapy to manage this disease and all of my symptoms, my whole life changed. I went from feeling sluggish and bloated everyday to feeling energized and good about how overall my body felt. I then decided to pursue my registered dietitian licensure to help others reach their goals and reach their potential to be able to live life to the fullest.

I am a Registered Dietitian who received her Masters degree from Drexel University in Human Nutrition and Dietetics. My post grad work was done through the University of Houston. I have worked in many areas of nutrition including in-patient in the hospitals, outpatient nutrition counseling, pediatric medical day care and long-term care.

I have 5 + years of personal and professional experience. Starting out in the clinical and long-term care settings, I was able to expand my knowledge base to provide medical and science-based nutrition counseling for her patients and clients. My clients include the following:

• Performance Nutrition for Amateur and Professional Athletes
• Adult Weight Management
• Eating Disorders
• Individuals with Diagnoses Requiring Medical Nutrition Therapy such as Diabetes, Kidney Disease, Cardiovascular Disease, and Cancer
• Food Allergies
• Gastrointestinal Diseases Including Celiac Disease, IBS, Crohns/Colitis
• Individuals requiring long-term nutrition support (Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition)
• Bariatric Surgery
• Pediatric Weight Management and Picky Eating

I enjoy the diversity that exists amongst my clients; and the ability to work with clients to enhance their everyday lives. My motivation to continue learning about the most recent nutrition-related research is to provide clients with the best care possible.
