My Approach

Your story matters, and I am here to listen. While my education is rooted in the traditional Western biomedical model, I am open to exploring various approaches that align with your unique goals and priorities. My aim is to create a safe space where we can collaborate, fostering a trusting relationship built on empathy and understanding.

 

Acknowledging your expertise on your own body and experiences, I strive to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed, evidence-based decisions regarding your health. With a trauma-informed approach, I tailor realistic solutions to meet your individual needs and perspectives.

 

Together, we will navigate your journey towards improved nutritional health, helping you develop the confidence and skills to manage your well-being independently. My hope is that you will feel supported and empowered throughout our time working together.
