About Terra

Hi, I’m Terra! I pride myself on being your biggest hype girl through every up and down! I’m a Registered Dietitian and Lactation Consultant with 14 years of experience in nutrition and behavior change support. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to meeting people exactly where they are and supporting them in taking meaningful steps toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. What brings me the most joy is helping someone become everything they’ve ever dreamed of. I believe deeply that nutrition and good health are at the heart of that journey. My passion is providing compassionate guidance, evidence-based support, and a steady source of encouragement to help people reach their full potential. (I'm not afraid to sprinkle in a little tough love when it's needed.) I’m committed to creating sustainable, positive change in the people and communities I serve and feel grateful every day to do this work.

Approach to care

My approach to care is rooted in meeting people exactly where they are. I believe that support should be compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to each person’s unique circumstances. I focus on building trust, listening deeply, and creating a safe space where individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered. I combine evidence-based nutrition and lactation guidance with a strengths-focused mindset, helping people recognize their existing abilities and build confidence as they move toward their goals. I’m committed to honoring each person’s lived experience while offering practical, sustainable strategies that fit their real life—not an idealized version of it. Above all, I believe that every person has the potential to thrive, and my role is to walk alongside them as they move toward better health, greater self-belief, and the life they envision for themselves.

Your first session with Terra

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where we take the time to get to know one another. I start by listening—learning about your goals, your daily routines, your challenges, and what support feels most helpful to you. We will focus on understanding your whole picture. We’ll talk through your health history, nutrition concerns, and any questions you may have. Together, we’ll identify what matters most to you right now and set realistic, achievable goals that fit your lifestyle. I’ll offer clear, evidence-based guidance and practical strategies you can begin using right away, while making sure everything we discuss feels manageable and aligned with your comfort level. My priority is for you to leave our first visit feeling supported, informed, and confident about your next steps. You can expect partnership—I’m here to walk alongside you, not to prescribe a one-size-fits-all plan. Your journey is unique, and our work together will reflect that.

Education

Hobbies

I love reading (I'm in two book clubs!), spending time outside enjoying the sunshine (except hiking, don't ask me to go hiking, I'm allergic), walking my pup, and spending time with my family and friends.
