About Jennifer

Hi, I am Jennifer, a registered dietitian based in New Jersey, dedicated to helping individuals thrive through personalized nutrition care. I am passionate about supporting people on their health journey-whether you are managing a chronic condition, navigating weight changes, or seeking to optimize wellness at any life stage. With specialized expertise in heart health, diabetes management, weight management, and women’s nutrition, I offer evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique needs. From improving blood sugar control and cardiovascular health to weight management or addressing nutrition during pregnancy or menopause, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. As a mom of four, I truly understand the challenges of juggling a busy life while prioritizing health. That’s why I focus on making nutrition practical, realistic, and sustainable for your lifestyle.

Approach to care

I believe that nutrition is never one-size-fits-all. I meet you where you are—taking a holistic approach to nutrition care, listening closely to your concerns, understanding your goals, and creating realistic plans that work for you. Together, we’ll build a plan that not only supports your health but empowers you with the confidence and tools to make lasting, positive changes.

Your first session with Jennifer

In our first session, we’ll take a thoughtful and comprehensive look at your health history, lifestyle, eating patterns, medical history, and health goals. Through this collaborative conversation, we’ll uncover what’s working well, identify areas for improvement, and begin shaping a personalized plan that feels realistic, empowering, and sustainable. My goal is to ensure you feel supported, heard, and excited about your path to better health.
