I work with busy professional individuals who are looking to implement healthy lifestyle choices into their lives to manage weight, optimize their health, performance levels and increase vitality and energy levels. My private practice is focused around integrative nutritional coaching and lifestyle interventions
Read MoreI work in a doctor’s office providing the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit. Additionally, I provide MNT (Medical Nutrition Therapy) for Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease. These services are covered under insurance. For a small fee any of our patients can see the dietitian, so I am highly involved in providing nutritional interventions for those with chronic diseases. I also teach classes and am working closely with our medical director to design an integrative functional medicine program for our office.
