About Valerie

I'm a Registered Dietitian committed to helping you be well. I chose a nutrition career because I'm fascinated by the way food works in the body. After working for over a decade to help with weight loss, diabetes, heart disease, and other nutrition related problems, my preschooler got sick with celiac disease and other mysterious GI conditions. Nutrition became a very personal mission that I live out with my family every day. I am passionate about searching for answers, sometimes in unconventional places. I have a curious mind, and while I may not have every answer, I do know how to search for them! When it comes to nutrition, my goal is to use evidence-based practice first to save you time and money. But if that doesn't work, then we find what does.

Approach to care

My approach to wellness is to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be! Compassion, accountability, and a blending of ideas define my practice: 1. Food can work wonders. 2. Find the root cause whenever possible. 3. Lifestyle matters. I apply these ideas to your individual situation, using nutrition science, experience, real life practicality, and sometimes an unconventional idea here and there- because every person is unique!
