About Julie

Hi! I'm Julie, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LDN) and Board Certified Renal Nutrition Specialist (CSR) with a passion for functional nutrition. I've worked with kidney disease patients since 2003 with a prior history of working in hospitals including specializing in oncology. My goal is to help patients with Chronic Kidney Disease improve kidney function and delay progression of disease including the management of blood pressure, diabetes and weight. I work with a variety of other disease states as well and have had my own personal experience with gut issues and cancer.

Approach to care

I want to meet you where you're at! I believe in gradual changes to help you meet your health goals including sleep, managing stress and other tools in addition to improving nutrition. We will work as a team with me guiding and supporting you in changes that work for you.

Your first session with Julie

The first appointment is about me getting to know you and your personal health goals which includes a comprehensive, collaborative session where I learn your health history, symptoms, goals and lifestyle. A personalized treatment plan will follow with tailored recommendations but not rigid plans. We will set up a plan for follow up to support sustainable progress over time. I look forward to working with you!
