A little about me…

If you’re new here, let me share a bit about myself! 

I’m a functional nutritionist, currently pursuing my degree to be a dietitian. In my previous life, I worked professionally as a food stylist and recipe developer. (I still moonlight doing both, so it’s not unusual to see me share projects and recipes on my Instagram.) My love for food has always run deep, but for years, that love was actually just an obsession around food rebranded as passion.

I was your gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, fun-free friend. And, not surprisingly, I was miserable.

So I did the deep work to unpack diet culture. And with it, I started to understand so many of the ways that women (and people who menstruate) have felt shame and stigma around their bodies. We have shame around our periods. Our vaginal health. Our weight. Our body hair. Our sexual history. Our identities.

And while, as a nutritionist, I can’t possibly be equipped to tackle all of these topics (although you can believe I’ve done a lot of continuing education to try my best to do exactly that), I can take this awareness back to my practice, and back to you.

I use a gender-inclusive, weight-neutral and non-diet approach to nutrition and hormone health. I also have a podcast, Queer Wellness Unpacked, where I pair my own personal experiences (hello, TMI) with evidence-based research to discuss topics around sexuality, hormones and social justice. So if that’s your jam, be sure to check it out.

I’m also a queer lady, a wine lover, a pole fitness enthusiast, a feminist, and a lifelong learner.
