About Jennifer

Hi, I’m Jennifer. I’ve spent almost 30 years as a Registered Dietitian, earned my BS in Nutrition from PSU, and hold a PhD in Naturopathy. My career has carried me through community health, private practice, clinical settings, and corporate wellness, and I’m grateful for every person I’ve learned from. I proudly carry credentials including PhD, ND, LDN, RDN, and CLT. When I’m not meeting with clients, you’ll find me walking my dog, Dean, cooking, spending time with my family or tending my garden. I’m excited to work with you, towards your goal of vibrant health through nutritious eating. Together we’ll explore how food, lifestyle, and mindset work in harmony to support optimal wellness.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on you. We'll blend evidence-based guidance with empathy and warmth, meeting you where you are and co-creating a plan that fits your life, values, and goals. We focus on sustainable habits, not quick fixes, and I embrace Health At Every Size as a guiding principle, keeping the conversation about behavior, nourishment, sleep, stress, and joy. You’ll leave each session with clear, doable steps and a deeper understanding of how your body responds to food, so we can learn and adjust together.

Your first session with Jennifer

Our first appointment is a warm, low-pressure conversation about you. We’ll review your medical history, lab work and biometrics, and the stories you bring about food and health. We’ll talk about your routine, challenges, and what success looks like for you. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet; together we’ll set a couple of short-term goals that feel achievable. I’ll guide you with practical steps and support, and we’ll adjust as we learn what works in your real life.
