My work with patients centers on helping them find peace with food and their bodies through healthy lifestyle changes. The passion for the work I do is the product of my own food, body image and life struggles for much of my life, I understand the struggles of losing weight as I once weighed over 500lbs myself. I am also a bariatric patient, 2017 Gastric Sleeve, 2023 revision to RNY. While I always had interest in nutrition and health, much of what motivated me to pursue a career in Nutrition was to try to find the answer I was looking for regarding weight. After initially getting my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from Purdue University, I eventually returned to school to become a master trainer and specialize in Bodybuilding, Nutrition, Strength and Conditioning,Transformation and Weight Loss, and received my Certification from International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA). Upon completing my education, I worked as a personal trainer/assistant fitness manager at EoS, I helped clients with weight loss, nutrition, strength and conditioning, prep for bariatric surgery , as well as clients with a variety of disabilities. My favorite thing about doing the work that I do is helping my patients discover life beyond dieting and If you are tired of the restrict-binge-shame-repeat cycle, there is a better way. You don’t have to constantly be at war with your body – you can befriend it. And I would love to help you do just that.
