About Sarah

Hello! Call me SJ, or Sarah Jane. I've been a registered nutritionist since 2011, completing my schooling in Napa, California and returning back home to the mitten state (Michigan) soon after. I've personally conquered binge-eating and restrictive eating patterns (during my 20s) as well as alcohol abuse disorder and I understand the holistic approach needed to become our best selves! I've worked with a variety of patients at home and in clinical settings to tackle challenges related to our lifestyles and nutritional habits.

Approach to care

In my approach to care, firstly, I meet you where you're at. We are taking a journey together that may have ups and downs, so be prepared to get frustrated at times! But it's in these moments that we grow and see just what we are capable of. I believe in utilizing the power of cognitive behavioral therapy for creating new habits, and improving awareness of our body's needs in real time. I will provide you with the nutritional knowledge you need to be more intuitive with yourself rather than restrictive.

Your first session with Sarah

In our first session, I like to learn about your personality, lifestyle, and motivations for change. We will review your usual health routines (diet, exercise, sleep, medications, etc.) and determine what your overall goals are and how we will turn that into actions moving forward into the next sessions. One of my priorities is to have fun during our sessions- I want you to look forward to meeting with me and making lifestyle changes.

Education

I have a Bachelor's of Science from Michigan State University

Hobbies

I enjoy jogging outside, gardening, game nights with friends, taking Spanish classes, eating delicious food, snuggling with my two kitties, drawing and crafting, traveling, and jazz music (to name a few).
