About Jara

Hi! I'm a registered dietitian with two decades of experience helping people throughout all stages of life. I specialize in supporting individuals with metabolic disorders such as pre-diabetes, diabetes, PCOS, thyroid disease and hyperlipidemia. I also have experience with GI related disorders such as gastroparesis, IBS, and celiac disease. My primary goal is to help individuals overcome their health obstacles and provide them with the tools and knowledge to take control of their health and become their own health advocate. I am devoted to addressing health at the cellular level and realize that people are as individual on the inside as they are on the outside.

Approach to care

I believe everyone's health journey is unique and rooted in key pillars: nutrition, sleep, movement, stress management, emotional, and spiritual wellness. I whole heartedly believe that food is information for our cells and what we eat influences how we show up in life. I am committed to sharing evidenced-based knowledge to support lasting, positive changes. I offer a safe, nonjudgemental space for honest reflection on your relationship with food. I want you to think of your health as a dial not a switch. I want you to dial into your goals and know that being consistent is more important than being perfect.

Your first session with Jara

In your first session, Jara will ask questions to understand your health and wellness goals. She'll review your medical history, lifestyle, food budget, medications, bloodwork, and dietary habits. After assessing this information, Jara will work with you to create a personalized plan with realistic, achievable goals. She will guide you in forming new habits and offer education, support and encouragement. Jara will be there to guide you through the process, but expects you to put forth your best effort.
