HOLISTIC NUTRITION THERAPY

I help my clients reorient towards wellness by addressing their health challenges using food.  As partners in this endeavor, we work towards achieving optimal physical and emotional health 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 body terrain.  Using tools such as diet and lifestyle journals, health data monitoring, conventional and functional medical tests, and in-depth 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 goals.  We explore the possibilities.

 

All facets of a client’s life – past, present and future – are relevant to creating realistic and balanced strategies, so we consider many aspects of a client’s life.  We explore topics such as a client’s 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; daily demands and mundane experiences; all within the context of their personal, creative, and professional endeavors.  These in-depth examinations of each client's human complexities enable us to create individualized nutrition protocols that are nourishing, healing, long-lasting, and truly holistic.  Every person possesses innate, inherited, and learned wisdom about their bodies — and their whole selves — and that wisdom is indispensable for our collaborative process.
