Functional Nutrition and Blood Sugar Coaching
Personalized Functional Nutrition
I use a functional nutrition approach to help identify and address the root causes of symptoms and health concerns rather than simply managing them. As a Registered Dietitian with 26 years of experience, I create personalized nutrition and lifestyle plans designed to support gut health, blood sugar balance, digestion, detoxification, energy regulation, metabolism, and long-term wellness.
​
I am located in Bend, Oregon and assist all clients virtually.
What Makes My Approach Different
I help clients connect the dots between symptoms, stress, digestion, energy, blood sugar, nervous system regulation, lifestyle patterns, and emotional health to uncover what may be contributing to imbalance.
​
​​Individualized Nutrition
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to health. I personalize recommendations based on your symptoms, lifestyle, metabolism, digestion, nervous system, and goals.
​
Pattern Recognition
I help connect the dots between symptoms, behaviors, stress, energy patterns, and health history to uncover what may be contributing to imbalance.
​
Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Integration
Blood sugar balance plays a major role in energy, ability to lose body fat, cravings, mood, metabolism, hormone balance, digestion, inflammation, and long-term health. I use Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) to help clients see how their body responds to food, stress, sleep, exercise, meal timing, and lifestyle habits in real time.
​
Many people think CGMs are only for diabetes, but they can provide valuable insight for anyone struggling with fatigue, energy crashes, weight loss resistance, cravings, poor sleep, or metabolic health concerns. Using this real-time data, I help clients identify patterns and make personalized, sustainable nutrition and lifestyle changes that support more stable blood sugar and overall well-being.
​
Practical Implementation
Nutrition strategies need to work in real life. My goal is to help you create sustainable habits and realistic changes that feel supportive and realistic rather than restrictive and only last short term.
​
Human Design Integration
For clients who are interested, I integrate Human Design to better understand energy patterns, emotion processing, decision-making, stress, motivation, and how your body may respond to different approaches.
​
Sustainable Change
True healing and long-term wellness come from consistency, self-awareness, and building habits that support your body over time rather than short-term restriction or extremes.
Ways To Work With Me
I offer several ways to support your health and wellness journey depending on your goals, health concerns, and level of support desired. Whether you are looking for personalized nutrition guidance, blood sugar support through Continuous Glucose Monitoring, or deeper insight through Human Design, my approach is individualized, practical, and rooted in sustainable change.

30-Day Nutrition Program
A 100% virtual, structured, supportive program designed to help you implement sustainable nutrition and lifestyle changes. Most health concerns require at least 30 days to improve, and photojournaling in a HIPPA-compliant app called Parctice Better shows patterns and detailed areas that are or are not supporting your goals.
They all matter for optimal health!
How the Process Works
Step 1: Initial Assessment
We begin by exploring your health history, symptoms, goals, lifestyle, stress patterns, nutrition habits, and current challenges.
Step 2: Personalized Strategy
I create individualized recommendations that may include nutrition, lifestyle modifications, blood sugar support, nervous system regulation, functional nutrition principles, and Human Design insights.
Step 3: Implementation & Support
You’ll receive practical guidance, accountability, tools, and ongoing support to help you implement changes in a sustainable and realistic way.
Step 4: Ongoing Refinement
As your body and lifestyle evolve, we adjust your approach based on progress, symptoms, goals, and real-time feedback, including CGM data when applicable.
