About Jennifer

👋Hi, I’m Jenn! I’m a registered dietitian with over a decade of experience helping adults feel their best through nutrition. Most of my work has been in the hospital setting working with patients with digestive issues and chronic diseases (cancer, cardiovascular, obesity, and type diabetes). My goal is to make nutrition simple, practical, and tailored to your lifestyle. I love working with patients to: -Find realistic meal/snack ideas that fit your preferences -Support gut health and overall wellness -Create plans that feel doable, not overwhelming I also lead a team of dietitians in a hospital setting, where I help develop protocols and coordinate nutrition care to ensure patients get the best nutrition possible. Outside of work, I’m a mom to 3 young boys, so I know what it’s like to juggle busy schedules and still want healthy meals that taste good! I believe food should be enjoyable, not stressful-and I’m here to help you make that happen.

Approach to care

My approach to care is all about personalization and collaboration. I believe every person and situation is unique, so I take time to listen to your concerns, understand your goals, and create a plan that fits your life! I focus on evidenced-based strategies that are realistic and sustainable so that you can feel confident and empowered in your choices!
