About Jessica

After six years in the Air Force—and months surviving on flavored rice packets and ramen—I taught myself to cook. At first, I just wanted quick, delicious meals, but a college nutrition class changed everything. I became fascinated by how food fuels the body and impacts overall well-being, leading me to earn a Master’s in Nutrition and work across clinical, community, and educational settings. I specialize in gut health, blood sugar management, and women’s health, using a holistic, root-cause approach. My philosophy is all about abundance—focusing on what we can add to nourish and support your body while adapting your favorites to fit your goals. With a personalized, results-driven approach, I combine coaching, meal planning, and habit-stacking to create lasting change. Real change takes effort, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’ll guide, support, and challenge you to take ownership of your progress—so you can build a healthier, more resilient life.

Approach to care

Nutrition is more than just food—it’s about creating a sustainable, nourishing, and enjoyable lifestyle. My approach is rooted in functional medicine and an abundance mindset, focusing on adding nutrient-dense, protein-rich foods to fuel the body. My recommendations are evidence-based and fully personalized to fit each client’s lifestyle, preferences, and goals. I reject diet culture and one-size-fits-all meal plans. Instead, I help clients build an eating pattern that evolves with them, ensuring food is both enjoyable and supports strength, resilience, and longevity. While nutrition is our primary focus, improving physical health often sparks positive change in every area of life. Success isn’t just about weight or lab markers—it’s about real-life improvements like better sleep, more energy, and greater confidence in food choices. My goal is to empower every client with the knowledge, structure, and support they need to take control of their health and thrive.

Your first session with Jessica

Your journey starts with an in-depth look at your habits, challenges, and motivations.

Our conversation will focus on: ✔ Your goals and what brought you to this session ✔ Understanding your current eating patterns ✔ Discussion of medical conditions, lab results (if applicable), and lifestyle factors ✔ Collaborative meal planning tailored to your preferences and routine ✔ Setting SMART goals for realistic, actionable progress ✔ Practical strategies like habit stacking, mindset shifts, and tools to make healthy choices easier While I provide evidence-based guidance, my approach is about empowerment—not rigid rules. Sustainable progress comes from changes that fit your life, whether it’s reworking meals, managing emotional eating, or overcoming motivation slumps. Change takes time, but you don’t have to navigate it alone—I’m here to support you every step of the way.
