I am a graduate of Cottey College, Brandeis University, and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which is affiliated with Columbia University. My practice is currently based in Chester, Connecticut, and I have also spent time studying local food and wellness practices and concepts in California, Hawaii, France, and India.

I started doing field related work in 1993, and prior to going into private practice worked as a personal chef and a fitness instructor, as well as in doctors’ practices. I am passionate about the whole experience of food, including our whole relationships with ourselves and our food. As a chef and as a counselor I believe in building the experience of food beyond it’s flavors and ingredients, and certainly far beyond measurements of fat, carbohydrates, and protein.

She has coached me through many of my recent life changes, and I consider her to be my faithful ”Guide on the Side.” Each session is tailored to my current needs, which makes each session truly unique and immediately useful.

"It has been three months since we started working together... Before the sessions began, food was an after thought. I ate just because. A problem I was having was low energy, especially in the morning. By working with you I have been able to change my morning and afternoon eating habits to include more fruits and vegetables and less fats and processed foods. My energy increased, which also increased my concentration level. One thing I like about working with you is the introduction of foods I never experienced before... more grains and greens... Now I am more aware of cravings and the effect food has on my mind as well as body. Thank you for the guidance, support and information I need to live a happier, healthier life."
