Bainbridge Island Specialty Nutrition

Practitioner Bio

About me:
My Master of Science degree focused on the prevention and treatment of obesity, and for more than 20 years I have been helping people achieve nutrition and fitness goals through the creation of personalized, realistic and long term healthy lifestyle changes.

I am also certified as a Nutrition Coach and Personal Trainer with the International Sports Sciences Association. In a clinical setting, I’ve counseled individuals, taught classes, and created programs to address child and adult weight management, including overseeing and facilitating a Medical Weight Management program for those with 100+ pounds to lose. I have also provided nutritional counseling and personal training in health clubs. I have personally maintained a 40 pound weight loss for over 20 years, and helping others to realize goals and feel better in everyday movement is my passion!

I have specialties in weight management, pre- and postnatal nutrition and sports nutrition for a busy lifestyle. I strive to make a healthy lifestyle both realistic and achievable!

If you pick up a Diabetes for Dummies cookbook, you will see my name on the cover of the 3rd and 4th editions. I tweaked and analyzed the nutrition content for recipes from renowned restaurants to make them healthier, and I do this for all of my home cooking as well as the kids’ healthy baking classes that I teach – ask me how to make your favorite recipes more nutritious! I have also enjoyed a largely gluten free diet for the past 15 years and delight in creating new meals to incorporate this lifestyle.
I am a lifetime athlete with 3 young children, and personal experience dealing with diastasis recti (abdominal separation) from having twins – tell me if this is an issue for you!
