About Janet

Hi, I'm Janet. I bring 12 years of nutrition experience and I'm continuing my education as a DrPH candidate with an MPH behind me. I've worked in private practice and in community health, with a strong focus on women's health and infant and toddler nutrition. I hold the credentials International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Registered Dietitian (RD), and I work to weave science with practical, real-world guidance. Outside of work, I love gardening, paddleboarding, reading, and trying new restaurants. I'm a mom of four and I believe balance is possible for every family.

Approach to care

Care philosophy: I work from an evidence based, science driven foundation while staying deeply empathetic and warm. We'll partner to set clear actions, track progress, and adjust as needed, never shaming or pressuring you. I honor Health At Every Size principles, focusing on your behaviors and wellbeing rather than a number on the scale. My holistic lens considers sleep, stress, relationships, and daily routines, because lasting health grows from the whole person, not just a meal plan.

Your first session with Janet

Our first session is all about you. We'll review your medical history, lab work, and short term goals, and I'll listen for what matters most to you. This is a judgment free space where no one needs to have it all figured out yet. We'll talk about your past successes and challenges and tailor a plan that fits your life. Together we'll set 1 or 2 realistic goals to start and map out the first steps we'll take before our next session.
