HOLISTIC NUTRITION THERAPY

I help my clients address their health and wellness challenges by utilizing food as a key building block for their overall well-being.  As partners in this endeavor, we work towards achieving optimal physical and emotional wellness through personalized, practical, and sustainable dietary and lifestyle interventions.  Using nutrition as a tool to adjust the body’s terrain, we provide it with the molecular and biochemical information and materials to nurture and strengthen its natural defenses and its capacity to rebuild and thrive.

​​​​

We begin by examining the terrain.  Using tools such as diet and lifestyle journals, health data monitoring, conventional and functional medical tests, and frank conversations, we assess a client's overall health status.  In collaboration with their medical and wellness providers, we discuss the client's health concerns, challenges, medical interventions, and future goals.  We explore the possibilities.

 

All facets of a client’s life – past, present and future – are relevant to the task of creating realistic and balanced strategies, so we consider a client’s life circumstances within a broad spectrum.  We explore topics such as a client’s complex relationship to food; mental and emotional health; upbringing and identity; cultural heritage; culinary skills; religious and philosophical beliefs; dietary habits, preferences, and aversions; lifestyle choices; mundane demands and experiences; all within the context of their personal, creative, and professional endeavors.  These in-depth explorations of each client's human complexities enable us to create individualized nutrition protocols that are nourishing, healing, and long-lasting.  Indispensable to our collaborative process is the innate, inherited, and learned wisdom about their bodies — and their whole selves — that my clients possess.​​
