About Jamie

Hi, I’m Jamie, a kidney nutrition expert specializing in the dietary management of chronic kidney disease and related conditions (such as high blood pressure and diabetes). With advanced training in nutrition and extensive experience working alongside patients, families, and healthcare teams, I provide evidence-based guidance tailored to each individual’s needs. My focus is on translating complex medical nutrition therapy into clear, practical strategies that improve kidney health, support lab results, and enhance quality of life. I am committed to helping people feel empowered in their nutrition choices and confident in managing their kidney health long term.

Approach to care

My approach is all about real-life strategies so you can feel good about eating and living well with kidney concerns. At the end of the day, I’m here to make kidney-friendly eating less overwhelming and a whole lot more doable. Whether it’s managing lab values, preventing complications, or finding joy in eating again, I’m passionate about guiding others with knowledge, compassion, and real-world strategies.

Your first session with Jamie

Our first session is all about getting to know you. We’ll talk through your health history, current eating habits, lifestyle, and any lab results or medical needs. I want to know what works for you, and what doesn’t. From there, we’ll discuss realistic goals and create a nutrition plan that feels both doable and personalized. You’ll leave the session with practical tips you can start using right away, plus a clear idea of what steps to focus on next. Most importantly, it’s a conversation—not a lecture—so you’ll have plenty of time to ask questions and share what matters most to you.
