About embolden Nutrition

What to expect

Clinical Nutritionists maintain a philosophy that emphasizes wellness and optimal health, and includes a combination of dietary modulation, lifestyle modifications, and use of adjunctive modalities such as nutritional supplements and herbs.

Clinical Nutritionists also utilize functional laboratory testing, not for the purpose of diagnosing disease, but to establish optimal versus sub-optimal levels of function in the body as it relates to nutritional status.

my clinical background

I have a unique skillset as a Registered Nurse and a Clinical Nutritionist. I have two years of specialized Neurological Care experience caring for patients with strokes, intracerebral 
hemorrhages, seizures, postsurgical/ brain trauma, Alzheimer’s/dementia. I also have three years of varied experience as a float nurse in Acute and Intermediate Care settings caring for patients in step-down and medical-surgical care units. As a nurse I have been trained in Nursing Theory and Critical Thinking, and I am experienced in patient assessment, prioritizing care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and communication with doctors and therapists. This means I know what you’ve been through as a patient in the traditional healthcare system and I understand why you may be feeling like it has let you down.

As a nutritionist I am trained in biochemistry, advanced pathophysiology, nutritional assessment, functional laboratory evaluation, developmental nutrition across the lifespan, botanical medicine, and evidence based nutritional practice. I specialize in navigating root causes of gut dysfunction and use a food first approach to healing. I also have a particular interest in autoimmunity, hormone health, and fertility. I am experienced in both the traditional and functional medicine worlds as a practitioner and as a patient. I understand the frustration of trying to find answers and I have established a proven process to stop chasing symptoms and start nourishing your body with what it needs to experience vibrant wellness.

the embolden mission

I focus on a client-centered and completely individualized approach, caring for you as a whole, not in segmented specializations. I am happy to collaborate with your doctor if necessary for an integrated team approach. My goal is to provide care to individuals across the lifespan who may be looking to improve their health by preventing chronic disease before it occurs or by managing the illnesses that may have already surfaced. My mission is to restore hope to individuals who have been burdened with a diagnosis of chronic disease, to teach young families how to form healthy habits that last a lifetime, and to prevent the development of illness by fostering a perpetual state of wellness.
